Teachers and students:
(used when meeting in the afternoon) Good afternoon? I am very happy to discuss the topic of "mental health of middle school students" with you and talk about some of my views.
1. Treat competition correctly and learn to cooperate.
A person will experience countless competitions in his life. Whether at school or at work, competition is inevitable and fierce. If a person wants to cultivate his good sense of competition and dare to compete, he can't stay ahead of others at every stage of his life. When he falls behind, he can often gain motivation by summing up experience, improving methods, adjusting his physical and mental state, fearing competition and avoiding competition, which means giving up opportunities for further development. There is not only competition between people, but also cooperation and communication. It is difficult for a tree to become a forest. Students should learn to cooperate, communicate in discussions and debates, broaden their horizons, broaden their thinking and make progress together. Senior three students should be good at cultivating good sense of competition and cooperation, and overcome fear and jealousy.
2. Correct understanding of the college entrance examination
The examination has a great influence on us, which depends on our understanding of the examination. We should regard exams as a test of our knowledge and ability. If we are admitted to the university, it is naturally a good thing to pursue further studies. If we fail, we can continue our studies in other ways, and all roads lead to Rome. What's more, the success of a person's career does not depend on going to college, but mainly depends on good psychological quality, such as correct thinking, emotional stability, strong will, mental health, mental health and so on.
Psychologists believe that reasonable beliefs will make people make appropriate emotional responses to things, while unreasonable beliefs will lead to inappropriate emotional and behavioral responses. Senior three students should not hold such an attitude and belief: success or failure is at stake, and the entrance examination is neutral, but when people give it their own preferences, desires and evaluations, it may cause all kinds of troubles and troubles. Unreasonable and unrealistic belief in things is the root cause of emotional disorder and neurosis, so we should train ourselves to think and analyze scientifically, learn to use objective and rational thinking methods, correct unreasonable and distorted understanding, treat college entrance examination correctly, overcome exam anxiety and maintain a stable mood.
3. Evaluate your ability correctly
Everyone is pursuing a certain level of goals, otherwise, individuals will lose the motivation to move forward. The key lies in the realization of the goal and the unity of their own ability level. They should learn to look at problems in an all-round way, correctly evaluate themselves and others, correctly analyze subjective and objective situations, and timely and effectively adjust their expectations. Senior three students should set realistic goals at every stage of reviewing for the exam. If the goal is too high, they will go all out, but they still can't achieve what they want. It will make you feel a sense of failure and hurt your self-confidence and self-esteem. The established big goal should be decomposed into various progressive sub-goals. Through continuous efforts to achieve specific goals, people will gain the joy of success one after another and generate greater psychological motivation, maintain strong enterprising enthusiasm and achieve lofty goals. Senior three students are under pressure from all sides, so they should objectively evaluate themselves, have moderate expectations and strengthen their belief in winning.
4. Improve test-taking skills and break through the plateau phenomenon.
Studies have proved that candidates' test-taking skills are related to their higher test anxiety level, that is, poor test-taking skills, high test anxiety level, good test-taking skills and low test anxiety level. Therefore, strengthening the pre-test counseling for senior three students and improving their test-taking skills will help to prevent and alleviate test anxiety. Teachers should strengthen the guidance of exam-taking skills for senior three students in combination with the characteristics of the subject, including developing good study habits, making good preparations before the exam, and mastering the matters needing attention in the exam-taking process. In the later stage of review, it is easy to see such a phenomenon: after reviewing for a period of time, one's level has not improved significantly and stagnated, which is what psychology calls "plateau phenomenon". There are two reasons for this phenomenon: first, the change of learning methods, with the deepening of review, need to update better methods to adapt. However, when the old method can't adapt and the new method has not been established, it is easy to appear "plateau phenomenon". Second, some psychological changes, such as decreased interest, boredom, fatigue, etc., will also lead to the emergence of "plateau phenomenon." To break through the "plateau phenomenon", we must optimize the knowledge structure by means of comparison, analysis, induction and generalization, so as to make our existing knowledge system. It is necessary to develop the habit of reviewing and summing up frequently, cultivate self-confidence, face the shortcomings and difficulties in review with a good attitude, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, exercise regularly and supplement nutrition reasonably. In this way, you will have a strong body and a strong spirit to study.
5. Need positive self-suggestion to overcome inferiority.
Self-suggestion means that we suggest some ideas to ourselves and make them into actions and behaviors. Self-suggestion often occurs in our consciousness and unconsciousness. For example, if we have something to get up early the next morning, we often wake up at that time. The reason is that we made a strong hint to ourselves intentionally or unintentionally the night before: "We have something to do tomorrow morning, so we must get up early!" Due to the great pressure of examination, candidates easily become anxious, fidgety and unconfident, thus affecting their usual study and mock examination, resulting in unsatisfactory grades and poor mental state. In order to get rid of this state, it is a good solution to give yourself positive psychological hints. Students can design a common phrase to encourage themselves. It is said that many Japanese people shout three times in front of the mirror before going out every day: "I am the best!" " Then, I went to work with confidence, and I often said some words of encouragement to myself with passion like this. This hint worked in my subconscious. This is psychological suggestion therapy. When I constantly affirm my first strength and every progress, I will let my optimistic attitude and good mood become the master of "self" and adjust my psychological state through self-encouragement and self-comfort. Every one of them. People with low self-esteem should learn to find their own value from their little progress, properly attribute these progress to their own abilities, and never make negative hints to themselves, such as what to do if they are nervous during the exam and what to do if they can't do the questions? What if I can't get into college ... the more I think about it, the more scared and nervous I am. Candidates who are introverted, sensitive and suspicious should meet the opportunities and challenges with confidence, don't tie their hands and feet, tell others what to do and belittle themselves. Picasso famously said, "You are your own sun." Don't be carried away by the brilliance of others, don't be ashamed of your own ordinary, be self-reliant, self-reliant, self-respecting and self-motivated, and beat me yesterday with today's me.
6. Maintain moderate tension and be proactive.
Living in the real environment, everyone has a certain degree of anxiety, tension, fear, worry and anxiety. Some psychologists believe that this is a normal psychological phenomenon of human beings, and ordinary people will not care too much about this discomfort. Slowly, with the change of people's subjective and objective conditions, this discomfort naturally disappears, while neurotic people are very sensitive to their discomfort and pay too much attention to it, thinking that anxiety, tension and worry should not exist. So we try to reject it, deny it, reject it, feel each other, pay attention to each other, promote each other and interact with each other, so that they fall into anxiety and pain. Psychologists believe that these people should face up to their bad emotions, accept the symptoms, let nature take its course, use the symptoms to do what they should do, slowly shift their attention to what they should do, so that the symptoms can be alleviated or even disappeared, and change their obsessive-compulsive ideas and bad personalities in action. Senior three students should not pay too much attention to their nervousness, anxiety and fear in the college entrance examination, as long as the degree is not strong. They should live and study with these discomforts, shift their attention to the things and actions they should do, reduce psychological pressure and maintain psychological balance. Life experience tells us that to be proactive, we must have sound and full emotions and moderate tension, which can enhance the excitement process of the brain. Improving the motor function of the brain can make people think quickly and react quickly. Moderate stress will put the human immune system on alert and make it difficult for the disease to develop. Scientists in the former Soviet Union have studied this. They found that the incidence rate of people living in wartime was significantly lower than that of people living in a peaceful environment. They believe that this is because people are nervous, aggressive and disease-resistant in the war environment, so life needs moderate pressure.
7. Enhance mental health awareness and improve the level of mental health.
The prevalence of neurosis among young students is on the rise. Neurosis is a kind of psychological disease mainly caused by psychosocial factors, and there is no pathological change in nervous system examination. Neurosis is a group of functional diseases, including neurasthenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, phobia, hypochondria, anxiety and so on. * * * is a temporary and reversible disorder of cerebral cortex function, each of which has its own characteristics: neurasthenia is prone to mental changes of excitement and fatigue; Involuntary thinking or behavior; Anxiety, irritability, nervousness and anxiety; Sentimentality and anxiety of depression; An alarmist fear, an indescribable fear; Suspicious hypochondriacs always suspect that they have been cheated or had an accident. Generally speaking, the onset is closely related to psychological factors, and unhealthy personality often forms the basis of the onset, such as introversion, sensitivity and suspicion, timidity, sentimentality and strong self-esteem. Young students should face up to reality, establish a positive attitude towards life, enhance their self-awareness, self-evaluation and self-adjustment ability, cultivate good personality and improve their social adaptability.
Above, I introduced some knowledge of psychology, including some methods of psychotherapy, such as rational emotional therapy, suggestion therapy, Morita therapy, etc. Here I introduce some methods of mental health care.
(1) hypothetical desensitization method
It is to gradually desensitize things that cause anxiety or fear in psychological imagination. For example, if you use this method to overcome the test fear (test anxiety), you can close your eyes and relax your muscles in a quiet environment. Imagine yourself taking an unimportant exam first, and at the same time continue to relax yourself and warn yourself that fear is unnecessary. When you gradually overcome your fear of this kind of exam, you can continue to imagine more important exam situations until you imagine the situation of the college entrance examination.
(2) Drainage therapy
Use or create various situations to express depressed emotions, so as to reduce psychological pressure and better adapt to the social environment. For example, talk to friends and relatives about negative emotions, and the interviewee must be someone close to you who can understand you; Writing is a catharsis. If you are introverted and not used to expressing your emotions in front of others, you can vent your negative emotions by writing letters, diaries or poems, so that you will feel more comfortable. Exercise is an act of venting dissatisfaction, depression and anger caused by exercise. Ventilating therapy has a good effect on anxiety, fear and depression, and also has a considerable alleviating effect on ulcers, migraine and negative emotions of ordinary people.
(3) Relaxation training method
It is a kind of psychotherapy that consciously relaxes the muscles of the whole body, thus producing a comfortable feeling and a calm and peaceful psychological state, and overcoming bad emotions. Simple and effective. The method is as follows: You can sit quietly in a chair or lie on the bed, close your eyes and breathe slowly and evenly. Then you start to relax your muscles with your mind. You can start with your forehead. You can imagine: "now my forehead is relaxed ... well, my forehead is completely relaxed, as soft as cotton." Then you can relax your nose, cheeks and chin in turn, and finally relax your feet. When you relax, you can feel the whole body relaxed, and the tension and anxiety will disappear quietly. This method can be used frequently for 5- 10 minutes each time. This method can help you to relieve psychological tension and stress and enhance your psychological endurance.
(4) Music therapy
It is a mental health care method that uses music to cultivate temperament and adjust emotions. Cheerful melody can strengthen muscle tension and cheer up the spirit. Soft tone and slow rhythm can calm your breath and calm your nerves; Beautiful timbre can reduce nervous tension and make people relaxed and happy. Every student's personality and musical accomplishment are different, so we should choose different music in a targeted way and pay attention to the overall adjustment. Music therapy can also make use of sounds in nature that are beneficial to physical and mental health. Any psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression, caused by mental factors such as excessive nervous activity of higher nervous system and temporary disorder of brain function can be treated by music therapy.
Life will inevitably face all kinds of temptations and challenges, but we must strengthen our beliefs and create our own emotional world, especially in today's era of rapid social change, surging trends and fierce competition. We should grasp ourselves soberly, size up the situation, shape a healthy psychology, a sound personality, be kind to success or failure, be free and easy, and move towards a new and better tomorrow step by step. You are your own sun.
