How do the elderly live happily?

First, the elderly should maintain a good attitude. Keeping a good attitude is the key for us old people to enjoy their old age happily. Old people should learn to control their emotions and develop a happy and carefree character. Let yourself live in a humorous, humorous and relaxed environment. The external embodiment of mentality eventually forms the mental outlook; The internal embodiment of mentality is reflected in our confidence in life and life. Mentality is a person's thinking activity, behavior and attitude towards things. A good attitude is the guarantee of a healthy life. Keeping a young heart, a tolerant heart and a happy heart is the key to longevity. People with a good attitude can accept others happily and live in harmony with their surroundings. How to maintain a good attitude, I suggest that elderly friends can start from the following points: ★ Treating the elderly correctly is an irresistible law of human beings. But different people have different understandings. Some people think that "everything is over 60", and they are depressed, slow-thinking and faltering. However, some people are young, energetic, energetic, clear-headed, quick-thinking and energetic. I think old age and senility are two different concepts. Out of proportion, don't draw an equal sign. Old age refers to people's annual rings, one year old, regardless of people's will; Aging, but there are individual differences, some people are not too old, but senile and premature aging. Of course, it is related to congenital inheritance, eating habits, fitness activities and other factors, but their mentality is an important factor leading to their aging. We can't resist the aging of the body, but we can resist the aging of the mind. As long as we actively adjust our psychological state, we will forget "getting old". A good attitude will inhibit physiological aging, thus delaying aging. Birth, aging, illness and death are natural laws, so we should not be too afraid of death. A philosopher in the West once said, "Death is one of the blessings given to mankind by nature, and it is the product of nature, just like life". This view of life and death contributes to people's health. Therefore, we old people must renew our ideas and understand that the quality of life is more important than the length. We should live well every day and smile at people. ★ Old people should be less angry. "People need happiness" is one of the natural attributes of people. Smile, ten years old; Worry is a hoary head. Laugh often and be healthy often. These are personal experiences handed down by our ancestors, and we should always keep them in mind. So always remind yourself: "Don't be angry, don't be angry". A philosopher once said, "Being angry is to punish yourself with other people's mistakes". Constant anger is the root of all diseases. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, anger has at least nine hazards: brain injury, mental injury, skin injury, internal injury, sadness, lung injury, liver injury, kidney injury and stomach injury. ★ Find the right position, do not compare, and do not seek social returns. After retirement, the surrounding environment has changed and the role has changed. Find your own position, don't compare with people at work, people around you and classmates, such as grades, pay and housing. Being an ordinary person has a normal heart. Don't talk about yesterday, think less about tomorrow and look more at today. Don't miss the glory of the past, let alone show off your past. History should be left to future generations to comment on. We should conform to the society and face the reality. Don't expect too much, be content. There is an old saying: "A man is just without desire." If a person reaches the realm of pursuing nothing, his character will be lofty and carefree, and his indifferent heart will not be happy for things or sad for himself. Cheerful and optimistic, confident when encountering difficulties, and easy-going with others. Treat objective things correctly, don't be cynical, and nothing is pleasing to the eye. Only in this way can we avoid sulking or getting angry for no reason and cause mental illness. Look on the bright side. Napoleon Hill, president of the American Foundation for Success, called a positive attitude the golden rule of success. He said that there are only small differences between people, but this small difference has caused a huge gap. The small difference lies in whether the mentality is positive or negative, and the big gap lies in success or failure. Tell you a folk story to illustrate the importance of mentality. Legend has it that in ancient times, a juren went to Beijing to catch the exam and stayed in a hotel. Two nights before the exam, I had three dreams: the first dream was that I planted cabbage on the wall; The second dream is that he wears a hat and an umbrella in rainy days; The third dream is that my sweetheart took off her clothes and lay back to back together. What do these three dreams mean? The next day, this juren went to a fortune teller to interpret dreams. After hearing the story of Juren, the fortune teller patted his thigh and said to him, "I think you'd better go home." Don't you think it's futile to grow cabbage on the high wall? Isn't it unnecessary to wear a hat and an umbrella? Is it impossible to lie in bed with your sweetheart back to back? "Hearing this, the juren heart like fell into an ice hole, suddenly become cold. After returning to the hotel, he packed his bags and was ready to go home. The shopkeeper felt a little strange and asked him why he hit back before the exam. A juren told him a dream story explained by a fortune teller, and the shopkeeper was very happy: "In my opinion, there is great hope to stay this time. Don't you think Chinese cabbage was planted on the wall in high school? Doesn't wearing a hat and an umbrella mean that you are prepared this time? Back-to-back with your sweetheart doesn't mean your chance to turn over? Hearing this, Juren felt that what the shopkeeper said was very reasonable, so he took the exam with confidence and won the later palace flower exploration. The story shows that thinking about the same thing from different angles will produce completely different views. If a person has positive thoughts and mentality, he can see light and hope in adversity. 19 14 One day in February, a fire destroyed the laboratory of Edison, a great American inventor, with a loss of more than 2 million dollars. At that time, Edison was 67 years old, and people were worried that he could not bear such a heavy blow and would be crushed by pain. But the next morning, Edison looked at the ruins and said, "Disaster has its own value. You see, all our previous fallacies and mistakes were completely destroyed by the fire. Thank god, now we can start from scratch again. "Only 20 days after the fire, Edison launched his first phonograph. Second, the elderly need to communicate with others ★ Chatting is good for your health. After retirement, because of the change of the surrounding environment, the renewal of interpersonal relationships, the departure of some old partners who have been getting along for a long time (retirement or death) and the busyness of their children, many elderly people who have not adapted well can't find communication partners and become more and more lonely. Loneliness is not only the enemy of health, but also a punishment. The social interaction of the elderly can meet their spiritual needs such as safety, friendship, trust and respect. It plays an irreplaceable role in improving health, regulating psychology and enjoying old age. A person is in a good mood when he has someone to communicate with, otherwise, he is in a bad mood. In order to live a long and healthy life, we must leave home and increase communication with others. Communication, communication and chatting are good medicines for mental health care. When people have troubles and troubles, chatting, telling their own difficulties, pouring out their frustrations, and getting comfort and guidance from friends will help to ease their mood, relieve their worries, relieve their pain, avoid depression and loneliness, and thus achieve psychological balance. Chatting can also eliminate physical and mental fatigue. There is often laughter or humor in small talk. This cheerful atmosphere can eliminate people's mental tension, relax body and mind, and is good for health. Nagging. As human beings with advanced thinking and rich emotional experience, language communication is the most important way. Whenever ordinary people have unhappy worries, they all have psychological needs to talk, especially nagging women. This is an obvious manifestation of psychological pressure. Nagging close people is a special way of emotional help, and it is also a normal stress response to pressure by using psychological self-regulation mechanism. This way helps to avoid physical and mental diseases caused by bad psychological factors. ★ The old people have to take part in more social activities and have been busy all their lives. After retirement, for many old people, they started a new life. What do old people have a lot of time to do from busy to all of a sudden? CCTV Oriental Time and Space made a survey. The main activities of the elderly in a day. The survey results show that only 0.5% people are participating in various social activities. 99.5% of retirees are divorced from social activities. They are: watching TV, doing housework, exercising, walking, shopping and doing nothing. In other words, the main activities of the elderly are in their own small circles, relatively closed and far from social activities. When interviewing the elderly in the street, the reporter found that many elderly people are still willing to participate in more social activities. The main reason for this situation is that there are few channels and ways for the elderly to participate in society. Many retirees suddenly become quiet after retirement, and nothing can lift their spirits. In fact, their sudden separation from society gave them a sense of loneliness, as if they were suddenly disabled and useless. At this time, it is very beneficial for the elderly if they can participate in some social activities in time. The elderly should take part in more social activities and have more personal feelings about social changes. Maybe their future life will become more substantial and happier. The participation of the elderly in social activities can balance their mentality, reflect their prices, enhance their self-confidence and achieve a fruitful life. There are many social activities for the elderly, such as: educating teenagers and children on socialism, patriotism, collectivism and hard struggle; Imparting cultural and scientific knowledge; Provide consulting services; Participate in voluntary labor; Participate in the establishment of social welfare undertakings; Participate in maintaining social order; Assist in mediating civil disputes and so on.
