The heart is like a muscle, lacking in thighs, that is, fragile as glass; strengthening the thighs, and encountering major setbacks, it can quickly climb out of the trough. Once we practice mental strength, we can handle negative emotions and become a person with higher EQ.
Psychological strength is divided into three parts:Thinking: Can you use rational thinking to face the bad things in life, and to observe the overly overwhelming and overly unscrupulous main thinking in your brain. You are less strict in speaking, and you can look at yourself with a more reasonable standard.
Emotion: Are you able to control emotions, not be controlled by emotions. Denying or suppressing emotions is not a way to control emotions, but you can detect it when it appears, know why it appears, and find the right way before the emotions get out of control.
Behavior: Have you been on the road to "make yourself better" to make your physical and mental state healthier and live more intentionally, rather than hurting yourself or letting go of yourself.
These three are not independent operations, but interactively influenced, so one of them is getting better and stronger, which will lead to other elements growing along with them.
3 practices that increase psychological strengthPsychological strength can be achieved through post-natal exercises. The following are three specific actions that can be implemented in daily life: thinking, emotion, and behavior.
1. Change the way you speak to yourself
When you fail, how do you speak to yourself? Is it "Why are you so stupid?" or "It's okay. You've tried your best"? The one who is most harsh on ourselves is often not others, but ourselves. We may have internalized the way our parents, teachers or others say to us when we were young, and these sounds become our inner sounds, constantly attacking ourselves. Give your heart more affection and gentleness, just like the way we say to our friends, it will gradually thrive from the scars.
2. Tags for helping love
Some people say that the love of a child is a glass of pure juice, grape juice or watermelon juice, you will know it when you taste the taste; while the love of an adult is a glass of comprehensive juice. We have tasted many flavors, but we can't say what is inside. This vague emotion makes us not know where to deal with it, so it is like a cloud that cannot be shaken and follows us, and it often makes us feel breathless.
Practice focuses on experiencing one's own emotions. When you learn about this "group" emotions, some are difficult, angry, ashamed, jealous or helpless, and tag them. Just putting a tag on the action can make emotions feel a certain distance from us, allowing us to look at ourselves, others and the world more objectively and rationally.
3. Routine habits of cumulative positive emotions: Don’t wait until you catch a cold before you notice your health. Usually, you must strengthen your body’s immunity through good sleep, diet and exercise. Similarly, don’t wait until the emotions sank to notice your mental health. Accumulating positive emotions experience is the most direct way to increase your psychological strength. Let things you like to do, such as jogging, painting, and cooking, have been routinely practiced, and add a refreshing and satisfying experience in daily life. These positive emotions will be an important spiritual wealth for you.
