Away from Anxiety | Everything Will Get Better

In fact, I am a person who does not know how to write chicken soup 😅
Regarding the idea of excluding anxiety, I can generally summarize a few key points.

1. Get outside, exercise, sunbathe
2. Reach out to people who can bring positive emotional value
3. Set yourself some goals and achieve them
4. do something you love
5. learn new skills

Get outside, exercise, sunbathe

Most of the time, I am a squatter, and I have no regular exercise habits before. Since the middle of 2020, I have started to climb mountains regularly. I used to go for several months without interruption. I would go on the trails every weekend. It is a suburban mountain or Xiaobaiyue that is relatively close to the people. It is mainly to make oneself sweat and train the physical strength and skills of mountain climbing. Going out and exercising to breathe can really help relieve negative emotions. Can take good scenery.

Reach out to people who can bring positive emotional value

Stay away from people who will bring negative energy, and life will be much happier.

As an ordinary human, you will naturally have certain social needs. A few years ago, I discovered an international pen pal website , and I would go there to chat with people in my spare time (the chat function on the station is more exciting, and many people will move to other social software. Such as: LINE, IG, FB), I met an Ecuadorian girl there (later I chatted with her in Spanish, and practiced by the way), I met some people who have been to/lived in Taiwan, and there is no lack of Taiwanese Among the foreigners who are interested in culture and have a certain understanding of Taiwan, there are also many who are learning Chinese or can understand Chinese. Some are aware of music, and there are netizens who like photography and hand-crafting, and often send photos of their works to me.

It's fun to communicate with these people, you can get some positive energy, you can also cultural exchange, practice English or other foreign languages. Although there are not many pen pals I know at this station who can keep in touch with each other for a long time, it is normal for them to break up after a few weeks or a few months. Most of the people I know in my life have not been in close contact with each other for a long time, and they will see it after a long time.

Set yourself some goals and achieve them

In October last year, I started to implement dietary control in a planned way. It was the first time in my life. The mountain climbing mentioned above was also a part of the plan. After 9 months, my body and weight have changed, and I have learned a lot in the process. The correct concepts and knowledge about diet and fitness feel quite good! The future goal is to go to the gym to retrain (this piece has not been decided yet 😂)

In addition, the recent accidental discovery of the Matt City platform has also made me determined to write well and start running a blog that has been abandoned for a long time.

do something you love

After the epidemic entered the third level of alert, I spent more time at home. Fortunately, I was playing the European Cup of Nations recently, which made me regain the joy of watching football. (I used to be crazy about football, but because of the retirement of the players I admired in recent years, the departure of the team, I became less interested in watching the game, and I don't have any spare time and blood to follow the stars.)

I used to go to a friend’s house or a sports Pub to watch a game in the past, but I couldn’t because of the epidemic, so I found a few female friends who also like football to start a chat group. Staying up late to watch football, talking about games, talking about handsome guys, talking about the epidemic and daily chores, I am quite happy. I spent more than three weeks like this. During the dull epidemic period, I depended on football to continue my life! Moreover, watching the team he supports, an unfamiliar young player grow step by step in each game, and seeing the inheritance and future of experience, the gratification and emotion are indescribable.

learn new skills

Learning new things is also a very effective way to divert attention & gain positive energy. When you spend a lot of time studying one thing, you will naturally be able to calm down. In addition to the Spanish that I have been learning all the time, I am also slowly learning silhouette films, retouching pictures, blog beautification... etc. In addition, under the guidance of my family, I entered the stock market as a leek and began to learn investment.

The ups and downs of mood are normal, and sometimes there is no way to avoid them. You can only learn to coexist with them. When you are at a low point, you will often feel that you are very useless. It's also easy to get overwhelmed. After getting through it, you will understand that you will not be in adversity all the time, everything will get better and better, with this realization, the next time you hit a trough, your mentality will naturally be more stable.
