  People have seven emotions and six desires, these emotions will have one or another impact on the body, China has been “the unity of God” since ancient times, and “anger hurts the liver, fear hurts the kidneys, thinking hurts the spleen, happy sad” is also known to all. It is not uncommon for people to die suddenly in the heat of anger.  The change of modern medical model from biomedical model to biopsychosocial medical model has promoted the development of medical psychology, and at the same time also promoted the research in the field of psychosomatic diseases. A large number of studies have shown that when human emotions fluctuate, the internal environment of the body is changed through psycho-neurological, psycho-neuro-endocrine and psycho-neuro-immune mechanisms, resulting in various Physiological reactions can lead to the occurrence of diseases.  Various studies have shown that bad emotions can have many negative effects on human health, so how to manage your emotions?  1, change the way of evaluation, maintain an optimistic mindset. There are always many things that are not good in life, and when you think about it, these things are sometimes caused by ourselves. The same half a glass of water on the table, a thirsty person looked at it and said, “Alas, only half a glass of water.” Another person who is also thirsty says, “That’s good, there’s still half a glass of water.” It is easy to judge that the second person is optimistic. The mood caused by the half glass of water is definitely different due to the different evaluation of each. The fact that half a glass of water cannot be changed, but what can be changed is our mindset.  2.Establish suitable goals, and those who are satisfied will always be happy. There are always differences in people’s abilities, and setting a goal for yourself that is difficult to reach is tantamount to asking for trouble. This appropriate goal is based on the proper evaluation of one’s own ability. You are obviously a bicycle, but you want to compare speed with Mercedes-Benz, this is not asking for trouble and what is it?  3.Make more mentors and friends to strengthen the social support system. There is no such thing as a person who does not ask for anything. Individuals to stand in society is always inseparable from the help of others. As the saying goes: a fence three stakes, a good man three help. A person in difficulty without help is the same as being thrown into an ocean, how helpless and desperate it would be. However, this kind of getting is based on the premise of extensive giving. A person who is indifferent to others will not be willing to give their help.  4.Appropriate venting of bad emotions. Our traditional culture always advocates that we should “tolerate” things; the death of a loved one to mourn; men have tears do not play lightly. I do not know, the emotions are not suppressed, it is not to vent outwardly will damage the internal organs, or more and more finally erupted in the form of a volcanic eruption. Instead of suppressing it and hurting yourself and others, it is better to vent it out in an appropriate form: find family and friends to tell their sufferings, see jokes, listen to music, it is too sad to simply watch a tragic movie, give yourself an excuse to cry out loud.  5, seek help from mental health institutions. In most of the time, the bad mood can be adjusted to normal. But if you are in a long-term anxiety, depression, fear, anger can not be extricated, it is necessary to seek help from a psychological institution. As society moves forward, mental illnesses are on the rise. Anxiety disorders and depression are not uncommon in psychiatric practice and are interfering with normal human life. The persistence of unhealthy emotions should never be underestimated.
