Psychological problems are common among many urban people and are highly valued, but they are generally not easily detected. So how can we know if our mental health is healthy? Having a standard for evaluating mental health can better grasp a healthy psychological state. For men, this standard is even more necessary for groups that bear more pressure and responsibility.
Experts analyze that the core of mental health standards is that those who respond positively to all events or activities that are beneficial to mental health are psychologically healthy. The psychological community believes that there is no one who fully meets the standards of mental health, but mental health is always the direction of people's efforts. As a male who supports the family and society, if you can often measure your words and actions through this standard in daily life, then your psychology must be healthy.
Understanding oneself
There is someone who will always live with us, and that person is ourselves - the self. Confucius once said, "Those who know themselves are wise, and those who know others are wise." Only by understanding ourselves and accepting ourselves can we be happy and healthy. By understanding our strengths, we will have a clear understanding of our development direction; By understanding our own shortcomings, we can make fewer mistakes and avoid doing things beyond our own capabilities.
Facing reality
We may not have been born into a wealthy family; Our work may not be satisfactory either; Our loved ones may not be shrewd, capable, or considerate; Our children may not all be intelligent and obedient; We may also be encountering setbacks and hardships... However, only by facing them all first, accepting them all, and based on this, can we have the possibility of change. Only by recognizing reality, accepting it, and being down-to-earth can we achieve greater results.
Be kind to others
People live in a society composed of others, just as fish live in water. Without others and their help, people cannot survive. According to psychologists, about 80% of life's troubles are related to one's interpersonal environment. Being picky towards others, easily getting angry at others, infringing on their interests, and not paying attention to proper interpersonal communication will all bring endless troubles to oneself.
Take responsibility
Except for babies in swaddling clothes, everyone has their own responsibilities and work. Children should respect their parents and do what they can. Adults should bear the burden of family and society, obtain means of livelihood in their work, and receive recognition and joy. So, the impact of unemployment on adults is not only economic, but also psychological. It can cause people to lose their sense of value and bring about psychological crisis. People who can bravely take on responsibilities and enjoy their work are truly mature and healthy.
Famous Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci said, "A day of labor leads to a night's rest; a lifetime of hard work leads to a happy long sleep. Avoiding responsibility and work can only make people feel irritable and regretful.
