The influence of Taoist cognitive psychology on anxiety and depression

  The core manifestations of anxious-depressed mood are low mood and interest, tension and worry, which can be accompanied by disturbances in biological rhythms and somatic symptoms, seen in any population. Taoist thought is a classical philosophy of indigenous origin. It has a long history and has been developed and passed down for thousands of years. It is not only a philosophical idea, but also a positive psychological support method. The essence of Taoist thought is summarized by Professor Yang Desen as 32 words: profit without harm, for but do not argue; less selfishness and less desire, know enough to stop; know and deal with the next, softness to overcome rigidity; return to the basics and follow the nature.  1.Profit but not harm, for but not for Only do things that benefit themselves, people and society; to help people happy, not gloating, not jealous of other people’s success; everyone for me, I for everyone; do not go against themselves, not too much to ask and blame themselves. Do not let your family have a hard time and do not let others have a hard time. Do not make enemies, do not retaliate; do not seek full blame, do not hold a grudge. At the same time, things should be done to the best of their ability, according to their ability, not to compete with others; in front of the fame and power, not to force, not to compare, not to compete, “do not dare to be the first in the world”, “the bright one is easy to stain, AA is easy to break”. “Personal front a road, personal head a piece of heaven”, so said: “only it does not compete, then the world can not compete with it”.  2, less selfishness and less desire, know enough to know stop Being a person should act indifferently and clearly, “desire less spirit cool, think more blood decay”. Fame and fortune make the spirit is enslaved, the flesh is driven, often busy and obsessed with life. And extremely private desire, indeed harmful to the health of the mind and body, is not conducive to social adaptation, often resisted or sanctioned by society.  The material life is only about food and clothing, not about glory and wealth. Keep your spiritual life relaxed, happy, and appropriately transcendent. Life is often bitter because: the heart is higher than the sky: there is no eternal satisfaction and happiness. Life is as thin as paper: there is only continuous regret and pain. Suffering lies in the persistent pursuit and the inability to seek. Therefore: know and be happy, know and stop not to be humiliated.  3.Knowing and dealing with the next, softness is better than hardness and light with the dust, do not show the sharpness, easy to get along with people, harmony. Treat others with kindness and harmony. Gentleness is not a sign of weakness, but a reasonable one can make people. To the bottom is the sea to accept all rivers, to the soft is the water to tolerate all things; full of incurring losses, modest benefits. Not overbearing, not self-righteous. Not high and mighty, not to manipulate others. Under certain conditions, softness and weakness can win over strength. To attack from behind and win without fighting. Attacking the heart is the top, so that the opposite side of the self eliminated. The so-called ” retreat as an advance, to defend as an attack”, “know the male to guard the female, know the white to guard the black”. All things can afford to be wronged and aggrieved, withstand failure and setbacks.  Be prepared for the worst, for the best ending.  4, back to the basics, let nature take its course, that is: be honest, tell the truth, do honest things. Insist on seeking truth from facts and be a thorough materialist. Not pretentious, not pretentious, not self-absorbed, not hypersensitive, not catching wind, not inferior and self-pity, not complaining about God, do not care about the attention of others and comments. I do what I want, I do what I want. Therefore, “those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise”.  According to the objective law, according to the health care principles of health care. To compulsive symptoms and exhaustion, do not confront, increase cultural and sports activities, weekend vacation, shift attention, change the state of mind. Find the causes of negative emotions, change perceptions and get rid of them in time. In adolescence, sexual repression seeks sublimation; personality repression seeks self-liberation.  Suffering from depression and anxiety is not terrible, what is important is, how to maintain a calm and healthy mind. We should be able to take, should also be able to put down, more should be able to think open, in order to truly achieve openness and transcendence, which will be a long journey, need to be patient experience!
