It's a very special New Year.
My hometown, a town that pays great attention to human sophistication and New Year's etiquette, this year is also unprecedented quiet, everyone is very conscious of going out to wear masks, using telephone WeChat to visit the New Year, relatives and friends and classmates every day heatly discussed is the latest local epidemic, and there are masks to buy.
Even my 80+ year old grandfather would nag every day about what the mayor said about the epidemic on TV.
I believe that for many people, this New Year is also unforgettable.
After postponing the return to work, there is more time to stay at home, some people are happy and some people are worried; the depressed street scene, the restaurant industry and various places that have been forced to close, let people suddenly return to the old time when there was no takeaway and no express delivery; the shocking news in the holiday was one after another, not looking at the mobile phone for fear of missing the news, and looking at the mobile phone was even more afraid of bad news.
You and I both know that even if many people return to work at the beginning of the month, it does not mean that they can return to the familiar order of life.
For health and safety, after the Spring Festival holiday and the end, you may have to live a life that is not short and tries not to contact people, and can stay at home.
For many people, staying at home at this moment is no longer a sweet choice - can not make a hot pot with friends to let go of eating, the scope of activity is the living room, toilet and balcony, some people still live alone or want to contact their parents for a long time, inevitably there are quarrels or emotional depression, coupled with limited entertainment at home, play mobile phones and pot dramas every day, are about to get moldy, how to do?
Here, several of our creators, after exchanging each other's home-bashing status, combed through this "Squat Psychological Massage Guide" - here Squat, specifically referring to the state of the masses of people squatting deeply at home/office during the extended Spring Festival holiday in 2020.
In the squat state, people's exercise will be reduced, and emotions will be more or less disturbed by the outside world, the following suggestions can help everyone spend this special day in a healthier way:
1. Pay less attention to covid-19-related news and spend less time on social media
If you spend more than 1/3 of your entertainment time reading this information on social media every day, it is an overdose.
There are very few things we can do, and the most worthwhile thing to do is to take good care of ourselves.
During this time, rumors were flying everywhere, the Internet was full of dissatisfaction, accusations and even very dark voices, once I brushed Weibo for a while after getting up, and unconsciously fell into a state of "everything is desperate", and my mood immediately became depressed, and I didn't want to do anything.
I felt that I was being influenced by this information. Without judging whether they're good or bad, society does need different voices, and there are disappointments in our lives, but I know I can't do anything about it.
Rather than focusing on these infuriating and anxious information, I would rather spend my time making my life better and making the world a better place.
Some people say that if you don't pay attention to this, you don't know what you can do with a lot of time.
In fact, there are many things you can do, watching a high-scoring movie, reading a book that you have always wanted to read but have no time to read, exploring a topic of interest, and making some small changes in your life, will make your happiness continue to climb.
Here are some things to try to help keep you entertained.
2. Cook well, eat well, and do housework leisurely with a physically active attitude
At home during the Spring Festival, I followed my mother to steal the teacher, and recorded the delicious dishes made by my mother, so that I could restore my mother's taste after returning to the solitary hut.
When you can't go to the street, wash dishes, mop the floor, and enjoy all the activities of taking care of yourself and your family;
3. Clean up and organize your personal belongings
Everything you have cherished in the past, what is the reason for attracting you? As we get older, does everything still have to be preserved? What is the life I really want? What kind of objects will I be surrounded by in such a life?
You can close your eyes and imagine carefully, extract everything you like the most, and let the buried desires and love of the heart see the light of day. Things that no longer fit you, sort out and send them away or donate them out - you can take a photo and post a message in the circle of friends, and people in need will take the initiative to contact you.
4. The family sits together and has a good chat
When you are afraid that your parents will force marriage and nag you, you can actually transfer the topic to them, and maybe you will find that you don't really know your parents and understand the family.
Look at old photos together, tell the story of that year, learn more about your family history from the elders, connect with your ancestors, and see what life has experienced from distant ancestors to us;
5. Quickly bring out a new taste of the familiar space through the aroma
If you have essential oils in your home, you can choose your favorite flavors, pair them with infrequently used flavors, and combine them into a new recipe to rejuvenate your home.
If you don't have a dedicated diffuser, you can drip essential oils on hot water basins, paper towels, wood, and stones.
If you've peeled a lot of oranges lately, don't throw away the peel, gently squeeze the peel of the citrus fruit, smell it — you can add ginger or cloves (yes, the kind used for brine) and boil the water together to fill the space with steam.
6. Pay attention to the warmth of the waist, shoulders and neck, and massage each other with the family
Leaving aside the concerns about skill, listen carefully to the needs of the "serviced" object, and provide the "service" easily and attentively.
7. Slowly restore a regular and healthy life schedule
An irregular state of life can make people lack a sense of control and feel powerless. Sleeping late is also not conducive to good health, especially during self-isolation, it is crucial to improve the body's immunity, if there is no reason to stay up late, it is recommended to read a book and go to bed early.
My life state during this time is not much different from before the festival, getting up and sleeping at basically the same time, having a fixed time to read and work every day, the advantage of doing so is to keep myself stable, knowing that no matter what happens, I can deal with it.
8. Practice meditation more
Meditation helps us regulate our breathing and maintain emotional stability. Meditation itself is an art of living in the present moment—when we pull our attention back to the body, back to the here and now, rather than dwelling on the fear of the future, the obsession with the past, the inner strength naturally arises.
We may think, "What will I do when this time passes" or "If only the epidemic could pass quickly, my life would be different."
In fact, we don't need to wait for the epidemic to pass, we can also live well, there are many ways to continue to do what we want to do, instead of looking forward to the arrival of that day, it is better to think about what I can do today.
Finally, if you can't help but keep brushing the circle of friends, watching the rolling news, sad, anxious insomnia, no appetite or nausea - if you continue to appear in the above state, it is likely that you have a stress response, follow-up please pay attention to whether you have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), consider seeking professional psychological intervention to help you get back to a healthy state.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > film and television recommendations</h1>
This period is suitable for watching some relaxed, positive films, horror films, disaster movies, although very suitable for the current atmosphere, the viewing experience is very exciting, but it is really not recommended to watch in this period of overall energy is relatively low. We don't have to add more burdens to our hearts.
If you are a family watching movies together, you may wish to review the old movie "Family has a Happy Event" series, Hong Kong-style nonsense plus star lineups such as Xingye, Wu Junru, Zhang Guorong, etc., which are much better than "囧Mom";
And if you prefer to watch romance films, recommend "Youth Love Kiss" and "Heartbeat", so that the sweet love of young people can sweep away the haze in their hearts;
"Youth Loves kisses"
The animal theme is always very healing and very touching, and I also love the small animals... Recommended to watch "Guide Dog Q" (almost tearful), and the documentary "Good Lion Christian", it is normal to have a cat and a dog, but you will definitely not expect that London can still buy lions in department stores to raise... The film is a true story between two young people and their lion, and it is only 45 minutes long, which is worth watching.
Guide dog Q
Reading history makes people wise - the British CBBC's children's history popular science program "Bad History", which is quoted by the side and quoted, incomparably funny (British memes, such as "Yingcun Brain Dead Story", you know), suitable for audiences of all ages, a total of 7 seasons, an episode of no more than 30 minutes, B station and Tencent video can be watched. Especially recommend the fourth episode of the fourth season, the music is so beautiful (really funny!). Help)!
Bad History
The recently amazed Korean drama "Signal": The fate that life seems to be inescapable of escaping is actually based on one choice after another. What will be the end result of making different choices?
Based on the reality of the crime suspense series, the people and stories behind the case always make me cry - not because of the simple "misery", but because of the causes behind the "evil", to see the beauty of being torn apart, the tragic color of the "born criminal" itself, of course, it is also touched by the simple kindness of the criminal police and the persistence of the love.
If you like the American drama "Criminal Minds" or the Hong Kong drama "Forensic Pioneer", "Criminal Investigation Files", oh, and "Forensic Qin Ming", you will definitely like "Signal".
The Signal
The "Godfather" series, the classics of the classics, about love, about the family - no matter what the historical and humanistic context, the human part will always have its commonality. Classic is not because it completely jumps out of reality, but because it comes from reality, from which you see yourself and see everything around you.
The Godfather trilogy
Finally, I wish you all the best choice to spend the holiday in a more enjoyable way, no matter where you are or how you feel at this time.
