Sammi Cheng, a famous Hong Kong artist, was at the peak of her career when she filmed Song of Eternal Sorrow, because she was very strict with herself and allowed no mistakes in her performance. In the face of various pressures and in order to keep slim, she kept dieting and losing weight, suffering from depression, and once disappeared from the entertainment circle.

In fact, in our work and life, there will always be disappointments of one kind or another. We are suffering from loss and gain every day, so that our thoughts are tangled, we are anxious, we are sick and miserable.

Lin Min, the yoga coach of China national table tennis women's team, the first yoga video signing teacher in China, a senior yoga coach and trainer, told us in the book Lin Min: Life Yoga that if you live in the world, you will have stress and anxiety as long as you are integrated into society, and yoga can bring you physical and mental unity, get rid of anxiety and enjoy life.

This book is not only an introduction to yoga, but also a life practice. Since its publication ten years ago, it has influenced the lifestyle changes of hundreds of thousands of people.

1. Face anxiety and seek to eliminate inner anxiety from the inside.

Have you ever had such a moment? After a day's work, I dragged my tired body home and didn't want to do anything or eat. I'm all wrinkled and depressed. There is a kind of hopelessness and helplessness, physical and mental exhaustion, depression and frustration. I don't know why life is like this.

1. Why are we anxious?

Sophocles, an ancient Greek tragic writer, once said, "The greatest difficulty in life is often caused by ourselves." ?

CCTV's "famous mouth" is white. In the eyes of the public, it has a unique perspective and sharp words. He has reported many important news for the people and is an indispensable "mouthpiece" of society. However, he often suffered from insomnia all night because of excessive work pressure, once suffered from severe depression, and even thought about suicide.

Many times, we are often troubled by anxiety, not because we are not doing well enough, but because we are too obsessed with the ideal standard life and deny ourselves.

2. Seek my heart from the inside and eliminate anxiety.

When people face pressure and perceive problems, they often habitually seek help and answers from the outside world, but they just ignore their own hearts. Only in their own hearts can the question have a real answer.

Accompanied by her family, Bai experienced five years of depression treatment. He knows himself by reading books, history and people. He saw from Zeng Guofan's encyclopedia that "the flowers are not in full bloom and the moon is not full". He realized that everything was not perfect, so he began to regain his confidence and overcome his illness.

Rational reading, yoga, like reading, can control the change of consciousness, realize inward, keep fit, relax, and clear up troubles and anxiety.

2. Pay attention to the present and experience the beauty of life.

When practicing yoga, through constant practice, we have learned to step by step and overcome it slowly through patience. Through constant persistence and practice, we have affirmed ourselves, enhanced our self-confidence and realized the beauty of life.

Yoga is actually a metaphor of life.

1. Let go of your obsession and live in the present.

My friend Xiaoji was lovelorn twice for various reasons. At one time, she was in great pain and even doubted her life.

In order to divert her attention and get rid of the pain, she began to practice yoga with videos at home. From the pain of practicing asana, to breaking through her own joy after slowly persisting, she slowly let go of the past and constantly enhanced her self-confidence in practice.

Without the competition of all the people in the yoga studio, I can focus on the link between the present and the body, let go of my obsession and let myself return to breathing, consciousness and speech, so as to achieve the unity of body and mind and be happy in the present.

2. Practice yoga and accept life.

Practicing yoga at home can let you really enter your heart when you are lonely, listen to your inner voice and fully understand the "connection" of body, mind and spirit.

Every movement is a connection with the heart. Forward bending makes people humble, backward bending makes people open, backward bending makes people pure, support makes people firm, and handstand makes people brave.

Accept in pain, be stable in breathing, be patient in anxiety, so that you can know yourself better, be more considerate of others, feel growth in giving, and feel the beauty of life.

Yoga is like a mirror, which allows us to look at ourselves from the inside out.

3. Relax and practice life in yoga.

In the world of mortals, we often live in the past and our hearts are in the future. We are worried, anxious and miserable. Yoga makes us physically and mentally integrated and extremely happy.

1. Understanding stress, yoga decompression

Lu Yao once said: "People live all their lives, and there are many things worth loving. Don't be discouraged because of one dissatisfaction. "

In the process of practicing yoga, Xiaoji gradually realized that no matter how many things are often used, no matter how many connections there are, there are only a few sincere friends, not their own feelings, and it is useless to entangle. If you put them down, you have to give them up.

When you relax, you relieve stress physically. Don't live in the past, because it has passed; Don't go against reality, because you have to live.

2. Cultivate your mind and live a happy life.

What yoga can see is the change of body shape and appearance, but what it can't see is the inner peace and richness.

Nan huaijin, a master of Chinese studies, said: "I can't let go, I will suffer for a lifetime;" Let go and relax for a lifetime. "

The purpose of practicing yoga is to relax the body, at the same time, to concentrate the scattered spirit, to calm it down, to practice the mind, to release the disappointment, frustration and loss of life through focused actions, positive thoughts and the connection between body and mind, to make the body and mind return to calm and the soul get pleasure.

Yoga is a kind of practice, meditation is the yoga of mind, and yoga is the meditation of body.

To sum up, in the face of anxiety, we can do this: face anxiety directly and seek to eliminate inner anxiety from the inside; Pay attention to the present and experience the beauty of life; Relax and practice life in yoga.

Yoga is a sport, shaping and strengthening the body, practicing outside and practicing inside; Yoga is a kind of life, which transcends sports and becomes an attitude towards life. Yoga is a philosophy, and the way to practice is at your feet; Yoga is an art, a summary of the geometry and soul of asana structure.

Yoga, in the open, find confidence; When you let go, find humility; Looking back, find understanding; In balance, find peace; In persistence, I saw my weaknesses and my attitude towards life.

On the square mat, there is a different life. Yoga is life and life is yoga.
