It is best to comb it three times a day, after getting up early, during lunch break and before going to bed.
Soaking feet before going to bed is better than taking tonic.
The soles of the feet are rich in peripheral nerves and capillaries. Often soaking feet with hot water can not only drive away fatigue, but also keep warm from the cold.
Before going to bed, soak in warm water of about 40℃ until the body perspires slightly, and the time generally does not exceed 20 minutes. When soaking feet, you can rub the soles of your feet with both hands, dry your feet immediately after soaking, and put on sleep socks. Children and diabetics should not soak their feet.
Meditate, soothe the nerves and help sleep.
"Little peace while lying down" is the importance of meditation before going to bed. When you have worries and thoughts before going to bed, you are easy to be anxious and nervous, and it is difficult to fall asleep.
Meditate in bed for a while before going to bed every day, which will help you sleep. Specific methods: sit cross-legged, naturally hang your knees with your hands, relax your whole body, and slowly enter a state of forgetting yourself and emptying, which can start from a few minutes and gradually increase to half an hour.

Emotional management

1 Find the root cause
Most negative emotions such as pessimism and anxiety come from "uncertainty", and action is the best weapon. For example, avoid delaying work, and return to the clinic in time after the physical examination finds abnormalities.
2 divert attention
When you have negative emotions, don't immerse yourself in them. Try to do something else, such as listening to music, watching movies, exercising and doing housework.
