As winter approaches, the sudden drop in temperature causes many people to catch a cold, manifesting as dizziness, fatigue, and poor energy. Not only can our body catch a cold, our emotions can also catch a cold. Due to the cold climate, most "sugar lovers" choose to avoid going out as much as possible and join the stay-at-home family. After a long time, I always feel that I can't cheer up. If you don't deal with and relieve the depression in time, it can easily develop into depression. This is what we call "emotional cold". There are many ways to relieve depression, and today I will share with you some of them.
music therapy
Music can relieve physical and mental tension, relax people, and restore energy. By listening and appreciating music, it can cause changes in the human body's psychological and physiological state and produce excited or inhibited emotional responses, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect.
In terms of music selection, we can "sound music to suit the disease". For insomnia, we can choose "Moon Reflected in Two Springs", "Moonlit Night on the Spring River", "Moon on the Cold River", "Secret Garden" and various lullabies; dizziness, fatigue, tiredness, decreased physical strength, etc. Choose "Liang Zhu", "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", Haydn's suite "Water Music", Debussy's orchestral piece "La Mer", etc.; those who are nervous and easily excited choose "Jiangnan Silk Song", "Cold Duck Playing in the Water", "Swan" "Lake Suite", "The Painter", etc.; for those who are upset, palpitations and chest tightness, choose "Moon Night", "Three Plum Blossoms", "Song of Spring", etc.; for those who are depressed, choose "Spring is Coming", "Backgammon", "Dance of the Golden Snake", etc. .
Relaxation and Inner Intention Methods
Muscle relaxation starts with both hands. Gradually clench your fists when inhaling (about 5 seconds), and slowly relax when exhaling (about 15 seconds). Through this, you can feel the feeling of tension and relaxation, and you can also check what is happening in your body. The area is tense. Then use similar methods to gradually relax the muscles of the forearms, upper arms, face, neck, shoulders, back, chest, abdomen, thighs, calves, feet and other parts of the body. The whole process is closely coordinated with breathing.
After the muscles of the whole body are relaxed, then engage in visual imagination. Such as imagining pleasant emotions, imagining yourself in beautiful natural landscapes, imagining beautiful images, etc. You can also imagine that the insulin in your body is a powerful army. They are patrolling in the body, driving free glucose in the blood into the cells one by one. The body gradually becomes stronger and people feel more energetic.
Exercise method
Just because you can't go outdoors doesn't mean you can't do physical exercise. People with diabetes can try some simple indoor exercises. ①Abdominal breathing for 3 minutes: Lie on your back, untie your belt, relax your whole body, then take a full breath, consciously inflate your belly, hold it for a while and then exhale slowly. Abdominal breathing is a movement of important internal organs throughout the body. Due to the increased up and down movement of the diaphragm, the expansion of the lungs, and the increased activity of organs in the chest such as the heart and aorta, the abdominal organs and blood vessels and nerves receive gentle and rhythmic movement, which results in Helps digestion and phlegm.
Exercising before bed can also help you fall asleep. ② Exercise in the head-down position for 3 minutes: After getting up or before going to bed, do the "hands on the feet to strengthen the kidneys and waist" movement. The method is to stand with your head bent and your hands bent to the ground as much as possible, once every second, and bend 60 times a minute. You can bend a few times less at the beginning, from less to more. This kind of exercise can gradually increase the resistance of cerebral blood vessels to prevent stroke. However, people with fundus bleeding, arteriosclerosis or heart disease should be cautious when doing this kind of exercise to prevent accidents. ③ Rub your hands for 3 minutes: Keep rubbing your hands against each other until the palms of your hands feel slightly warm; then put the backs of your hands against each other, rub back and forth, and finally cross your fingers and rub them up and down. There are many meridian acupuncture points on the hands. Massaging these acupoints can have a good health care effect on the corresponding internal organs.
In addition, we can also place some flowers with bright colors or light fragrance indoors to add vitality. Of course, it is also a good choice to communicate more with family or friends. With the company of relatives and friends, music, relaxation and other methods, as well as simple indoor sports, the boring winter will no longer seem so long, and ordinary life will become interesting.
May everyone be energetic every day!
