Do you like mountain climbing?
I like it, because in my opinion, climbing a mountain is a psychological clinic to treat my anxiety, and it is much cheaper than a psychological clinic.
In the adult world, anxiety is the norm. Everyone is more or less burdened by anxiety, even if they get a PhD.
Here I am reminded of a classmate who entered the top three after studying for a Ph.D., and once, I had a long conversation with him, and there was a sentence he said very sadly, he said this:
"I used to love playing basketball so much, but I haven't been to the court for three months since I went to work, and I don't know if what I'm doing now is for a better life?"
In fact, it is useless to say too much at this time, so I recommended him to climb the mountain once, and when life is confused, he will know what he wants to do by climbing the mountain once.
Of course, I don't just recommend him, I recommend every confused friend to climb the mountain once they have the opportunity.
Why?
Because you live in this society, you will feel stress and anxiety all the time. Because this pressure has been around for as long as you can remember, it's hard for you to perceive it.
Each of us has been put into "comparison" since childhood, and it can be said that this is a national race.
At a very young age, we found that those who scored 90 points in the test should be despised by 99 points, when they were in college, they should be despised by one book, and after work, those who scored 5000 should be despised by those who scored 1w. Even in front of close people such as friends and spouses, it is inevitable to be compared, who bought a new car, and whose husband bought her a bag......
Everyone's value and status are now better than others, and if you want to compare others, if you are not in the first three rows, your whole life will lose its meaning. But there are so many people in the first three rows, which means that 70% of people must be anxious, and people like us, not long after graduation, have caught up with this era, and it can be said that 90% of people are anxious.
And climbing a mountain is a good way to alleviate this anxiety, because in the mountains, the comparison thing disappears.
When you walk to the foot of the mountain, there are still some comparisons, for example, some people come by big G, and you come by tourist bus.
When you are halfway up the mountain, some people generously eat and rest in the restaurant on the mountainside, and you can only take some hot water to soak a bowl of noodles, but at this time the gap between you has been visibly narrowed.
But when you reach the top of the mountain, the mobile phone signal disappears, and at this moment, you are completely away from this society, and those tourists around you have become people like you. You don't know each other either, and when you get away from the city and in nature together, you feel a calmness that you have never felt before.
This tranquility evokes a deep sense of pleasure and allows you to forget your worries and stresses. And the scene at the top of the mountain provides us with an opportunity for independent thinking and self-reflection.
It is a place where you can have a dialogue with yourself, think about the direction and purpose of your life, and re-evaluate your values.
For example, my Ph.D. classmate, if he went, he would definitely ask himself three questions:
Did I study for a Ph.D. and go to a big hospital to realize my dream of studying medicine, or to live a better life than others?
Now, have my dreams come true? Or, how am I doing now? Is this three months of not being able to play basketball really what I want?
Why is Chen Ziyang not as good at studying as me, studying for less time than me, and not as good as me in the hospital, but living more comfortably than me?
He will definitely have his own answer in the end.
Actually, I'm the same way, although the self-media is doing well, and everyone likes to call me "dean, director" in the comment area, but in fact, I have been rated as a deputy senior professional title in my life, let alone a mixed position, so I will also be anxious.
Especially at this time, a group of people of the same age as me who have entered the hospital, some have become team leaders, and some have become the objects of cadre training, and I am still only working the front line.
Therefore, in order to alleviate my own anxiety, I especially love to travel, go to the top of the mountain to see the sea of clouds, go to the meadow to see the stars, every time I am in this kind of place, I will think about my own future, I ask myself whether I live for others to see, or do I want to be happy?
Of course, every final decision is the same, that is, to complete my work, and the rest is to focus on self-media and investment, and maybe in the future, I will also transform into medical beauty or Chinese medicine.
In my opinion, the most difficult thing to climb the mountain is the process of "climbing", just like studying medicine, I know that it is very cool to be a director and dean, but the previous paragraph is really difficult, and there will be many people who will not be able to reach the top of the mountain due to physical exhaustion.
Of course, there are shortcuts everywhere, and the same goes for mountain climbing. Cable cars and sightseeing elevators can help you get it all in one step, thus saving you the hardest and most boring process.
Finally, let's talk about why am I anxious?
Through the self-media, everyone may think that I am doing well, but I just show my glamorous side, such as I stay up late to write and serve Party A, I lose more than 200,000 yuan in investment, I have to work a night shift for three days, and I rarely mention it when I work for 10 years and earn 5,000 a month.
Because I understand a truth, if you want to be happy in life, you have to pay a sadness, the two are mutual, and the quality is conserved after all.
Any kind of life is a mixed blessing, there is no such thing as an absolutely painful life or a happy life in this world, they are all painful and happy. Just like the "predecessors" we envy, most of them still had to do farm work when they went to school, and at the beginning they had to hand over their work income to their families, and later during the medical marketization period, they also caught up with the most tense doctor-patient relationship, and they also suffered a lot of grievances to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, their lives are not happy from beginning to end.
It's the same with us, you can live however you want, depending on what you want, you figure it out, your life basically revolves around this purpose, you will sacrifice a lot, you will have a lot of tribulations, but in fact, you will also get a lot of happiness.
Many people say that studying medicine is meaningless, but I think it should be meaningful, and its significance lies in what kind of life you choose in such a scenario so that you don't regret it.
Have you chosen?
If not, take advantage of the bright spring and go for a mountain climb!
