The core content of this festival is: care for yourself, know yourself, accept yourself, pay attention to your mental health and spiritual growth, improve your psychological quality, and then love others and society.
The concept of mental health of college and middle school students is vague and even misunderstood, and they will not admit that they have psychological disorders until they reach the level of drug treatment. For example, freshmen's psychological problems are adaptability and communication, sophomores and sophomores are mainly emotional interpersonal relationships and self-growth, while graduates are mainly under employment pressure. Therefore, it is more meaningful to guide them to enhance their mental health awareness and improve their self-regulation ability.
In 2000, initiated by the General Branch of the Department of Psychology of Beijing Normal University and the Student Union, followed by more than a dozen colleges and universities, and approved by the relevant departments, May 25th was designated as "Mental Health Day for Beijing University Students". "5.25" is the homonym of "I love mine", and the promoter's explanation is that only by loving oneself can we love others better. In 2004, the Central School Department of the Communist Youth League and the All-China Federation of Students decided to designate May 25th of each year as the National Mental Health Festival for college and middle school students.
The choice of such an important day as May 25th was carefully chosen. First of all, May 4th is May 4th Youth Day. May has always been endowed with the same vitality and passion as young people. As a new generation of young people, the preferred activity is of course May.
Secondly, in view of the lack of mental health knowledge of college and middle school students, which leads to insufficient understanding of their own psychological problems, "Mental Health Day" is to advocate college and middle school students to love themselves, cherish their own lives, seize their own opportunities, create a better road to success for themselves, and develop from cherishing themselves to caring for others and society.
Ways to keep healthy psychology
Adjust cognition: we should have a correct and objective cognition of ourselves and correct irrational thoughts.
Emotional management: We should maintain emotional stability and develop a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. Happiness is good for our health. At the same time, we should eliminate negative emotions such as anxiety and depression in time to avoid the long-term impact of bad emotions on ourselves.
Maintain good interpersonal relationships: Social needs belong to one of people's psychological needs, so we should actively participate in group activities, actively communicate with people, and often eat and travel. Maintaining good interpersonal relationships with colleagues and classmates can gain a sense of security and eliminate loneliness.
Self-reward: We should cultivate the habit of self-praise and self-reward at ordinary times, and give ourselves positive feedback after successfully completing a small thing. You can reward yourself for buying a dress, which helps to build self-confidence and maintain mental health.
Active exercise: Sympathetic nerve is excited during exercise, which can promote the secretion of dopamine in the body. Dopamine has a certain effect on mood regulation, and promoting its secretion will make people feel happy, such as jogging or playing badminton in the morning.
Ensure sleep: Sleep is very important for mental health. Patients with sleep disorders may be accompanied by mental and emotional symptoms, such as anxiety and compulsion. Therefore, ensuring scientific and healthy sleep is an important aspect of maintaining mental health, and ensuring 8 hours of sleep every day.
