In life, whether it is because of work or life, we will encounter all kinds of pressures in middle age.
These pressures are like gravity, pulling us along, forcing us to face and make choices.
Facing middle age, many people will face the "redesign" of life, which is undoubtedly an important choice in life.
Health has become the key word at this stage. How to invest in your body?How to make life more quality?
And running, especially for middle-aged people, is the most valuable investment.
"Lie flat" when you are stressed?
Middle age is often portrayed as a turning point in life, a time when you have to face many stresses and problems.
Family, economy, health ......These pressures more or less surround every middle-aged person.
Many middle-aged people find that they are physically and mentally exhausted and want to "lie flat".
Although this phenomenon has caused heated discussions among young people for the first time, it also exists among middle-aged people.
Some people are at ease at the table, comfortable in the game, and laughing and talking.
Some people frequently participate in various dinners, and their mouths are like a river, telling those familiar past events over and over again;
There are also some people who are immersed in the live broadcast room of beautiful women late at night, looking for solace in their souls by rewarding;
While others start to have unhealthy thoughts and need some fresh stimulation to wake up the numb body and mind.
However, "lying flat" does not effectively reduce the stress faced by middle-aged people, but may increase the sense of loss of self-worth and meaning of life, forming a negative cycle.
The importance of self-investment
When people reach middle age, their economic situation is relatively stable, and their life experience is also very rich. In fact, this is the best time for us to invest in ourselves.
Self-investment is not to invest money in the fields of **, real estate, etc., nor to spend it on luxury goods, but to invest in our own body and spirit, including our health, knowledge, skills, psychology, etc.
Midlife is an important turning point in life, and we need to have more control over our lives, and these need to be supported by good physical and mental health.
At this time, we need not only to have a lot of physical examinations, but also to actively exercise and improve our physical fitness.
Running, the first step for middle-aged people to invest in themselves, has its own unique reasons.
First of all, it's easy to get started. All you need is a pair of running shoes, a suitable route, and you can start running.
Second, running is a full-body exercise that has many health benefits. It can enhance cardiopulmonary function, increase metabolism, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
In addition, running can also improve blood flow, and those middle-aged people who sit for long periods of time to work need this exercise to activate the body and relieve pressure on the cervical and lumbar spine.
A study by Harvard University's Open Class shows that regular moderate-intensity running can significantly reduce the incidence of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc., and is also very helpful in boosting the body's immunity.
The choice of running is an investment in health, a mastery of time, and a commitment to the present and the future.
The transformation of the body and mind that running makes
Improvements in physical fitness are just the tip of the iceberg of the benefits of running, and the psychological impact of running is just as far-reaching.
Studies have shown that running can improve people's mood, reduce anxiety and depression, and bring us a new way of life and attitude towards life.
Running is a process of self-challenge, and every run is a race between us and ourselves.
In the process, you will come to realize that self-challenge is more important than winning others, and that satisfaction lies in self-transcendence, not the appreciation of others.
Running allows us to find inner peace and accept ourselves in the process of challenging and surpassing ourselves.
It's a dual transformation of body and mind, and it's also a process for us to break through our difficulties and move towards a new life.
