Treat aging with a correct attitude
In a report on 20 10, The Huffington Post pointed out that more and more teenagers began to look "younger" by injecting Botox, and even a "juvenile toxin" developed specifically for teenagers appeared on the market. It seems that everyone has put anti-aging on the list of "important events in life".
Many people regard "being old" as a loss, and we will lose our looks, health, simplicity and competitiveness in the process. In fact, we can think carefully about what "youth" will bring us.
A survey shows that people may have a "functional illusion" about "self", that is, people always subconsciously think that youth can have various advantages, including resources, competitiveness and so on. In fact, this is just an illusion of narcissism.
The so-called resources and competitiveness are not measured by age, and aging is not as "lost" as people think. We can also improve ourselves in the process of aging. A person who does not overestimate the value of youth and is not anxious about aging can face aging more calmly.
Remain optimistic
As the saying goes, "Smile and you will be ten years old." The health secret of those elderly people who live a long life cannot be separated from an optimistic and positive heart. Nine times out of ten, life is unhappy. Perhaps aging will make us more vulnerable, but when we keep an optimistic attitude, age will never be a shackle that binds our lives.
Breast cancer patients (Taylor, 1983) and 9 1 1 survivors (Bonanno, Lengnick &; Dekel, 2005) found that mentality is an important factor that affects how people cope with trauma and how long it takes to get out of it.
When we have a rose filter on ourselves, this idealized self-knowledge will also affect our behavior. For example, people who insist on health and self-discipline are often people with positive attitudes. Moreover, if people are positive and firm enough about themselves, they can also affect the impression and evaluation of others around them to a certain extent.
Therefore, when we see those high-spirited old people, we will unconsciously think that they are young. When we see sad young people, we will tend to guess their age.
Strengthen exercise
The benefits of exercise are self-evident. Long-term exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also promote the body to secrete dopamine, which is a kind of nerve substance that makes us feel happy.
Jogging for 30 minutes can also play an antidepressant role, because the secretion of dopamine will make us feel happier, and happiness will make us more active and healthy.
Aging is never a terrible thing. People always face death. Therefore, we don't have to be afraid of getting old, because the mind is free. As long as you can keep a young and enterprising attitude, you will become younger and younger.
