introduction
Many people feel that once a person is over 70 years old, even if he is an old man in the true sense, there is only a way back in life, which is meaningless.
Actually, this thinking is wrong. Nowadays, medical technology is becoming more and more advanced, and it is a common phenomenon to live to the age of 8 or 90, but the premise is that we must plan our lives well, maintain self-discipline, and develop good living habits.
After the age of 70, the highest way to live is not to eat, drink, and dance, but to develop 6 "good habits"
01. Planting flowers and grass can cultivate patience.
After I retired, I gradually fell in love with the hobby of growing flowers and grass. In fact, planting flowers and grass can cultivate their patience, because flowers and plants need to be cultivated for a long time, watering every day, loosening the soil regularly, and preventing sun exposure.
People over 70 years old, some too strenuous exercise and can not do, planting flowers and grass can not only cultivate their own hands-on ability, but also can pass the time, watching the flowers from seed to bloom, the heart is full of a sense of accomplishment and joy.
02. Reading and writing, being able to calm down and cultivate nature.
Nowadays, many of us are typing with mobile phones, and there are fewer and fewer people who are really willing to write with a pen.
Reading books can increase our knowledge, enrich our spiritual world, and writing calligraphy can hone our patience, improve our concentration, and cultivate our self-cultivation.
Write a beautiful calligraphy font, you can write your own couplets during the New Year, and look at the couplets you have written and paste on your own door, and your heart is full of a sense of achievement.
03. Stay at home less and get in touch with nature more.
Our traditional Chinese culture pays attention to the "unity of heaven and man", so in the past, the ancient houses had patios and courtyards, with good lighting, and people could have intimate contact with nature.
After the age of 70, we should try to stay at home as little as possible, go outdoors to participate in some social activities, and get in touch with nature more.
For example, when you wake up in the morning, you can go for a walk in the park, breathe in the fresh air, listen to the sounds of jungle birds, and feel the breath of nature.
Smell the aroma of the earth, embrace the trees, feel the beauty of nature, and your heart will be more open-minded.
04. Take care of personal hygiene and live a healthy life.
When people are over 70 years old, in addition to taking care of their bodies, they should also pay attention to personal hygiene.
Develop good hygiene habits, clean your home frequently, and your bedroom is clean and tidy, and it is comfortable to live in.
If you live with your son and daughter-in-law, you should pay more attention to good hygiene habits, rinse after going to the bathroom, and wash your slippers frequently to remove odors and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
In summer, the weather is hot, it is easy to sweat, and the clothes will smell of sweat, so they should be changed in time, stored and organized, and not placed indiscriminately.
Wash your face frequently in the morning and evening, and use some facial cleanser and moisturizer appropriately. Take a shower once a day, pay attention to oral hygiene, and brush your teeth once in the morning and once in the evening.
05. Maintain the mentality of "easy life".
After the age of 70, with the aging of the body, we must adjust our mentality, live easily, don't worry about this, don't think too much, and stay away from meaningless "spiritual internal friction".
Life is inherently full of uncertainties, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow or what will happen in the future.
But as long as we try to live each day well and live it with our hearts, then every day is meaningful. Cherish every day,
Therefore, don't be anxious, don't be afraid of getting old, always keep a love for life, go with the flow, be at peace with what happens, and look at life with a smile, this is the realm of living transparently.
06. Be open-minded and don't care too much.
After people are over 70 years old, we try to keep our mood stable every day, and our emotions should be stable, and we must not let our emotions fluctuate excessively because of some trivial things, let alone get angry and lose our temper at will.
Keep an open mind and don't worry too much about people. People who like to be calculating are often very picky and searching, stingy, with a lot of bad intentions, and annoying.
Keep an open mind, don't care too much about other people's opinions, and live your own life. Don't worry too much about people and look down on the gains and losses, only then will your life get better and better.
