(1) Be indifferent to material gain, do not set too high goals for yourself, and do not be perfect.

Medical research has shown that the root cause of heart disease in people with type A personality is their negative traits, that is, when their high expectations cannot be realized, they are often hostile to the people around them and pessimistic and disappointed about the future. These are the most dangerous factors. A person's happiness is not how much he has, but how little he cares. Giving up does not necessarily mean losing, but another broader possession.

(2) Relax and maintain an optimistic attitude

Modern psychology research has found that when a person is in a good mood, the entire metabolism will improve. Boredom, annoyance, resentment, anxiety, and sadness are catalysts for stress. Therefore, we should always maintain a good mood, cultivate a strong, optimistic, cheerful, and humorous personality, have a wide range of hobbies and interests, and always maintain a positive attitude towards life. At the same time, we should strengthen the training of willpower and courage, cultivate our spirit of not fearing strong opponents and having the courage to fight, and constantly improve our ability to withstand pressure.

(3) Appropriately transfer and release pressure

When facing pressure, the best way is to divert it. If the pressure is too heavy to bear, just let it go and stop thinking about it. Turn your attention to things that make you feel relaxed and happy. After you have calmed down and become stronger, will you still be afraid of the pressure in front of you?

(4) Combine work and rest and seek fun outside of work

Short-term travel, mountain climbing, and breathing fresh air can broaden your horizons and increase your mental vitality. Taking a break from your busy schedule to listen to music, dance, sing, chat, and go shopping is also an effective way to eliminate fatigue and relax tense nerves, and a spiritual medicine.

(5) Learn to use flexible thinking

When a person has flexible thinking, he can often calmly deal with various changes, turn adversity into prosperity, and turn pressure into motivation. Therefore, we must learn to use flexible thinking, hold the chic spirit of "there must be a way when the car reaches the mountain", and create a positive, orderly, relaxed and harmonious living environment for ourselves. As the saying goes: "If the stumbling block is big, you might as well go around it." The so-called "around" means "changing lines" at the right time. In the history of scientific and technological development, perpetual motion machines have made many people devote their life's energy, but many people are unknown and end up in vain. Newton was also keen on the research of perpetual motion machines in his early years, but after a large number of failed experiments, he wisely withdrew from this research, concentrated on mechanics, and finally stood out and became the founder of classical mechanics. People's subjective and objective conditions are changing at any time, so it is an important part of winning success to check whether their choices are appropriate and whether their goals need to be adjusted from time to time and avoid stubbornness.
