First, full sense of security. A sense of security requires multi-level environmental conditions, such as social environment, natural environment, work environment and family environment. Among them, the family environment has the most important influence on the sense of security. Home is a harbor to avoid the wind and waves, and you will feel safe with home.
Second, fully understand yourself. It means being able to objectively analyze your own abilities and make appropriate judgments. Whether you can make an objective and correct judgment about your ability has a great influence on your mood. If you overestimate your ability and try to do things beyond your ability, you often can't get the expected results in your imagination, which will blow your spirit with failure; Low estimation of one's own ability, low self-evaluation and lack of self-confidence often lead to depression.
Third, the goal of life is realistic. We should make life goals according to our own economic ability, family conditions and corresponding social environment. The formulation of life goals should not only conform to reality, but also leave room for it, and should not exceed the scope of one's own and one's family's economic ability. Laozi, the founder of Taoism, said: "Happiness is greater than worry, and wealth is greater than contentment."
Fourth, keep in touch with the external environment. On the one hand, you can enrich your spiritual life, on the other hand, you can adjust your behavior in time to better adapt to the environment. Keeping in touch with the external environment includes three aspects, namely, contact with nature, society and people. Old people retire at home, have too much free time and often have depression or anxiety. Today's activity centers, cultural activity stations and universities for the elderly provide conditions for the elderly to get in touch with the external environment.
Five, maintain the integrity and harmony of personality. Psychological characteristics such as ability, interest, personality and temperament in personality must be harmonious and unified in order to experience happiness and satisfaction in life. For example, a person is very capable, but he is not interested in the work he is engaged in, which is not suitable for his own personality, so he may not be able to experience success and satisfaction. On the contrary, if he is interested in his job, but his ability is poor, he will feel bored.
Sixth, have a certain learning ability. In modern society, in order to adapt to the new way of life, we must keep learning. For example, if you don't learn computer, you won't feel the fun of surfing the Internet. If you don't learn new health concepts, you will still stay at the level of eating and wearing warm clothes. Learning can exercise the memory and thinking ability of the elderly and help prevent brain dysfunction and Alzheimer's disease.
