Recently, there is a fresh wind flowing between the cities, that is “light life”, simple, back to the basics, light, saving, calm, happy …… such as vegetarian, less car and more walking, try to eat vegetarian, eat coarse food, wear cotton, etc.. Light life is a concept of subtraction. Modern people’s lives are full of excessive burdens and burdens, both psychologically and externally. Light living is a concept of throwing away, that is, simplifying everything to the simplest realm. Light life is divided into four directions: light heart, light body, light food, and light living. These four directions all have to go through some internal struggle, and even have to be very heavy to change their habits accumulated in thinking or living for many years, in order to start a light life. 1. Light heart Xiaoya is a company manager, she goes to work every day at 8 o’clock in a routine, eats fast food at noon, and meets with clients in the afternoon. Xiaoya is so busy all day that sometimes she feels overwhelmed and can hardly breathe. Every weekend, she went to a beauty salon for maintenance, and at the end of the month, she went to a spa, and during the week, she also took health care products to maintain herself. However, she found that her body was getting worse and worse, and her mood was getting more and more anxious. She had to go to the hospital for consultation, and the doctor advised her to lighten up her life. The new idea of “light” life is to put health in the first place. A person’s health cannot be achieved by maintenance and medicine alone, but requires a balance of physical, mental and psychological aspects. Mental balance is not like a dry well, and it is not insensitive. Psychological balance is a rational balance, the human psyche often produces a sense of imbalance, and stress is born. So you have to make your own efforts to achieve one desire after another. Of course, the pursuit of this spirit of advancement we advocate, but everything must have a degree. People live in the world, the desire is never-ending, we can not achieve all the wishes, then we have to learn to give up, and then get rid of the psychological imbalance after the disappointment, to avoid pressure to let us suffer. Because the psychological balance, the physiological balance; physiological balance, the human body’s systems will be in the best state of coordination; system in the best state, health and vitality naturally glow. In fact, life is a kind of Zen, the happiness of life or not depends on the state of mind. Life needs wisdom, more tolerance, to know when necessary to take a step back the sky. As long as you maintain a happy state of mind to face every thing and everyone, treat yourself well, treat others well, and handle things with an open mind. As long as the face of various opportunities and challenges, from the calm, optimistic and open-minded, more heart-to-heart communication with some friends, close to nature, listen to the sound of wind and rain, sit and watch the sky high clouds, the morning sunset, will be in the ordinary to create the highlights of life. Modern people face more and more opportunities and competition, and thus need to bear more and more pressure, which is a fact that can not be changed. To live a relaxed and happy life, you must face the challenge of stress and use appropriate methods to de-stress yourself. Here are a few happy recipes that can reduce stress, you may want to try. (1) Don’t be a prisoner of perfectionism. Most people have a desire for upward mobility, some people strive to do the best, and strive to do everything, often to the smoothest and most perfect state as the standard, but the reality and their wishes are often contrary, so in a sense, the principle of “almost” is still desirable, which will greatly reduce the generation of stress. (2) to make happy friends an old Chinese saying: “Near the vermilion is red, near the ink is black.” If you are always in contact with dull and depressed people, you will also feel yourself becoming depressed and dull over time; if you always make happy, relaxed friends, you will gradually become a happy and enthusiastic person without realizing it. People’s looks and attitudes are infectious, just like measles. Then, let happy, relaxed friends infect you with joy, and you will feel less heavy in the face of stress. (3) Be glad to face it. To fully realize that the high efficiency of modern society inevitably brings high competitiveness and high challenge, openly accept the pressure from all aspects of society. (4) Confide in and release. If you want, you can talk to your trusted friends about your troubles, tell him everything he has undertaken and your mood. If you prefer to face it alone, then find a silent and beautiful place and let your emotions free in the deepest part of the fallen leaves. Cry, shout out loud, or run or jump, don’t think about whether you’re civilized enough, and let go of that breathless feeling in your heart. Let yourself lighten up in the next round of challenges. (5) Leave a space for the mind to belong to. Living for others is certainly a noble state, but to live in the eyes of others, in the long run will be easy to lose themselves, such a state will make people feel more and more depressed, breathless. (6) Close to nature. Humans are originally the children of nature. When you feel the pressure is too heavy, you may want to temporarily put down the work at hand, use your leisure to take a walk, play ball, a short trip to buffer the pressure is not lost for a “sharpening the knife and chopping wood” effective method. In between the green trees and green hills, in the river and the sea, let all the pressure are gone with the wind. Sunlight can enhance the body’s calcium, regulate mood, and increase immunity. If you really can’t get away, in the office can also be “busy” to let the mind back to nature. If you work for three hours a day, put down your work and look out the window for three or five minutes, try to stretch your vision to the open distance, in the brain and visual fatigue at the same time, the pressure will also be released. People who like flowers and plants can also keep a pot of greenery in the room, two pots of flowers, both to absorb the room turbidity, but also pleasing to the eye. In addition, “light” life also advocates a smile, smile in front of the mirror for 0 minutes every day, forget all the unhappiness, to create a good interpersonal atmosphere. 2, light body Just over the age of Xiao Wei is a corporate executive, every day there are endless work, and often need to work overtime. Recently, he felt too much pressure due to the transfer of his position, and felt that he could not do the job but could not quit and felt pain. Gradually, Xiao Wei felt that his work efficiency was declining and he was experiencing headaches, insomnia, irritability, loss of interest, hair loss and other symptoms. He mentioned this to a friend who is a doctor, and he suggested that he might want to do some light exercise. One of the claims of “light” living is light body. Light body refers to a healthy physical state, to participate in sports regularly to go outdoors to exercise, often do housework. Wear clothing should also be loose and decent, wear more cotton coarse cloth away from chemical fiber products. We can not live every day without computers, cell phones, and more electronic products, which allows us to enjoy while also suffering from interference, noise and radiation. Therefore, people who enjoy a light life also abide by the belief that “life is in motion”. Properly turn off the phone and computer, away from electronic products, let the brain really relax and rest. We may want to have a little relaxed “light exercise”, such as: often go out to play Tai Chi, jogging and fishing, women may wish to practice yoga, these will make us feel relaxed. For people who work first, do not let work gnaw away at your health, especially married men, often due to the dual pressure of family and work, give up the original favorite leisure sports. Since the inability to exercise on time has been the fate of miserable office workers, we should know how to use the gap, for example, after work, get up and move, walk to pour a glass of water, send official documents, also counted as exercise, try to work every 30 minutes, activity for 5 minutes. It is recommended that you do not drive to and from work every day. Sometimes walking to the bus or climbing the stairs to your destination can help you consume the excess fat left in your body the night before. In addition, many school activity centers are now open for rent on holidays, a few friends and families to meet up to exercise, spend 2 hours a week, not only to socialize, but also to develop family relationships. 3, light food Xiaoru is a white-collar city, due to work tension, often choose to eat fast food nearby. Western-style fast food is not only convenient, but also nutritious. However, after eating this way for a period of time, she felt that the food is not tasty, all day long when it comes time to eat, almost nothing can cause appetite, eat into the things do not feel any special taste, all the same. At first, she thought she had something wrong, to the hospital a test, the results are normal. Finally, the doctor considered that she ate fast food all day, may be suffering from “fast food syndrome”, and advised her to pay attention to light diet. Food is the driving force of life. The idea of living lightly advocates “eating vegetarian and coarse food as much as possible”, but light food is definitely not synonymous with bland taste or vegetarianism, but the goal of light food is to present the natural taste in its entirety and to integrate slow food into the diet. Into the “fast food era”, almost every modern city people’s desks, there are a few fast food restaurant menus or a few fast food restaurant ordering phone. Fast food, with the accelerated pace of modern urban life came into being, and quickly become an important part of modern life indispensable. Fast food has the following characteristics: (1) high fat; high salt; high sugar. Fast food drinks are all high sugar products. Whether cold or hot drinks are the same, is a lot of sugar desserts, plus soda, ice cream desserts, more so that the food sugar increase. (2) a large number of seasoning flavor is the characteristics of fast food, so that people eat fast, eat more, is the characteristics of fast food. (3) low-fiber food fast food production process as far as possible to choose low-fiber food, so that the eating speed is faster, people eat without much chewing action, the entrance will be swallowed. Long-term consumption can cause nutritional imbalance, excessive supply of calories and salt, which affects health. Light meals should be eaten in moderation, usually 8 minutes per meal is ideal, and to eat enough vegetables and fruits. The standard way to eat is to eat a meal of a fist-sized vegetables, and an orange-sized fruit, food nutrition configuration is 60% to eat starch, sugar, 25% to eat fat, 15% to eat protein. More importantly, eat less high-calorie food, even if the dinner party should also eat more vegetables, the secret is to eat vegetables first, about 3 minutes full, then eat other food to ensure that the amount of vegetable intake is sufficient. In addition, the wine can be avoided to avoid. “Modern office workers should break through the tradition and change the concept of socializing that is harmful to health, and if not necessary, shallow drinks can also be enjoyed by the hosts. In addition, the light diet should also choose simple cooking, less oil and salt, more coarse grains, easy to digest, bland taste, without too many additives, eat simple, nutritious. This can effectively reduce the weight of the stomach, eat less each time, but can eat more often, so that the stomach has enough time to rest. Eat some seasonal fruit, not too sweet, must be delicious, crisp, to reduce the pressure on the teeth and tongue. 4, light residence With the increasing competition in society, the pressure from work, life and other aspects have increased significantly. According to incomplete statistics, up to 70% of China’s urban population has been in a state of subhealth. The World Health Organization statistics show that depression has become the world’s fourth largest disease, the number of people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, phobias and other psychological disorders are increasing almost every year, how to effectively relieve psychological pressure, become an urgent problem. Home is a haven for the soul and has become the best place for people to release their stress. There is a close relationship between home environment and mental health. When hurt or frightened, the place everyone desires most is home, and a warm family environment needs suitable home arrangement and decoration, while the arrangement of home is to pursue peace of mind. In daily life, people often pay attention to the relationship between home decoration and physical health, focusing on the environmental protection function of decoration materials, while the relationship between home environment and mental health has not attracted public attention. In fact, home furnishings have a subtle effect on mental health. Modern people advocate “light” life. In fact, one of the advocates of “light” life is light living. One’s living environment affects one’s health, state of mind and quality of life. If, like Professor Liu, there are valuable items and fragile furniture everywhere in the home, then it will invariably cause a kind of pressure. In addition, too dull decoration, excessive antique products and items that can cause bad psychological implication can ripple through people’s psychology and emotions. Home is a place for people to relax, but space is like a kangaroo bag, there are always restrictions, if the bag is stuffed with things, the weight of life shall not be easy, that will certainly affect the body and mind. Therefore, in time to clean up the old things, advocate simple life, often clean up the room, replaced with elegant wooden furniture and fresh fabric decorations, to their nervous emotions to find an outlet to fly. The things outside the body to see lighter lighter, so that the home can become a real place of rest. In short, “light” life is not to advocate inaction and escape, there is always an unbearable weight in life, we have to admit that pressure is part of life, but there are “good” pressure, there are also “bad “Good” pressure and “bad” pressure. If you are in this state of breathlessness, why not seriously think about the source of your stress, throw away the burden that you have been afraid to face, so that the body and mind from the inside out are light and healthy. Life is heavy, so live lightly. The idea of “light life” allows the long-suppressed urbanites to finally shake off the pretense and start to lighten their lives, making the state of life lighter and more relaxed, and taking a step closer to the luxury of the soul. Therefore, many people very much advocate “light” life – let the pace slow down, the mind quiet down, the pressure down.
