Are you anxious today?

Anxiety, as one of our emotions, has become a mainstream phenomenon in this fast-paced era. As a worker in a modern city, I am too familiar with anxiety. I will not worry about the absence of anxiety topics when I open the hot list of any day. Perennial topics, such as entrance examinations, emotional problems, work pressure, etc. are always popular, not to mention the social news that makes people feel cold every now and then, which is really anxiety-inducing. . .

A survey of 2,000 adults found that 62% believed life was becoming more anxious.

These anxieties, which touch on many aspects of aging, appearance, and career development, are issues that everyone faces all the time, so they are understandable phenomena.

There may be some tips to relieve anxiety

A lot of anxieties are essentially the gap between psychological expectations of things and reality, and the best approach is to balance these as much as possible, just like the picture I often show myself, which is the one below: "Actually you don't have to worry about anything."

If you encounter troubles, then think about whether you can solve them and find a way to solve them. As for those things that cannot be solved, you must try to lower your expectations. Don't be like Zhao Min who said "I will force myself". In reality, most people will fail.

Of course, there are some tips to make these things go more smoothly.

Work-Split Plan

The best approach is to split the plan, simplifying the complex, and then breaking down a huge task into executable content. The rest will be much easier. After all, a tree that can be embraced by two people grows from a tiny seed, and a nine-story tower starts from a pile of earth.

Economically – Keep good accounts

Keeping accounts is a very good habit. It can make your financial life clearer and make you spend within your means. In many cases, we are very clear about our income, after all, the income on our salary card is clear at a glance, but our expenses are more vague. We always feel that we have spent all our money without spending anything. In fact, when you start keeping accounts, you will soon find that your expenses are completely different from what you imagined.

Health - Eat a balanced diet

Being healthy is not difficult. For most people, a balanced diet can solve most problems. But it is difficult because health requires persistence. For example, regular exercise and, more importantly, a balanced diet. Nowadays, many health problems are caused by eating too much fat and carbohydrates and too little fiber. Therefore, starting a little bit every day and persisting is actually a very appropriate method.

In other situations, communicating more with others, watching comedies or variety shows, etc. are all ways to relax yourself, which are important ways to relieve anxiety.

Of course, at this point, some people still seem to feel anxious, so perhaps some adjustments need to be made.

However, this kind of adjustment is often done by drugs, and these drugs are generally neurological drugs, which will have certain side effects when taken, so it is not recommended to take drugs in mild cases.

In fact, there are some very simple things in life that can relieve anxiety, such as lavender, which many people are familiar with. At present, some pharmaceutical companies have used lavender extracts for the treatment of anxiety.

This also reminds me of the modernization process of traditional medicine in recent years. Humans have been obtaining drugs from nature since the day they were born. For example, the famous aspirin is naturally found in willow trees. Ancient Egyptians and Chinese people have been using similar materials for a long time. However, over the years, we have not been familiar with the mechanism and ingredients of drugs, which has led to many people's distrust of traditional medicines.

The advancement of modern science allows us to test these traditional medicines, find their core ingredients, and explore their mechanisms of action. This is the correct attitude.
