There is a person who always lives with us, and that person is ourselves - the self. Male health not only includes physical health, but also psychological health. What are the standards for male mental health? Let's take a look together:
Only physical and mental health is considered healthy for men
Understanding oneself
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
Everyone has their own responsibilities and work, except for babies in their infancy. 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 long and happy sleep. Avoiding responsibility and work can only make people feel irritable and regretful.
Control emotions
Emotions play an important role in mental health. Mentally healthy individuals often maintain a happy, cheerful, confident, and satisfied mood, are good at seeking pleasure from life, and are full of hope for life. On the contrary, frequent depression, anger, impatience, jealousy, etc. are signs of mental health. When a person is psychologically healthy, their emotional expression is appropriate, their demeanor is generous, and they are neither reserved nor unrestrained.
Shaping Personality
Shaping personality is the sum of all stable psychological characteristics of a person. The ultimate goal of mental health is to maintain the integrity of personality and cultivate a healthy personality. There is an Indian proverb that says: attitude determines behavior, behavior determines habits, habits determine personality, and personality determines fate. Our character and destiny are precisely sculpted by our own actions at every moment.
Having a family and a career
Home and career are the sources of responsibility and pressure for adult men. The harmony of the family and the success of the career are not incompatible. Their relationship is mutually reinforcing. "Family and everything prosper," and they are unable to "unify the family," and may also be unable to "pacify the world. When dealing with the relationship between the two, one should have a healthy mindset.
Take it wisely
A gentleman is good at wealth and takes it in a proper way. On the one hand, it means increasing income openly, and on the other hand, it can also be said to treat one's personal desires with a healthy attitude. In addition to jealousy and jealousy, treat the temptations in the colorful world with a calm heart. God always gives opportunities to those hardworking people.
The above introduction is about men's healthy psychology, hoping to be helpful to everyone. Men must have a healthy psychology in order to be considered a healthy man.
