A well-known saying on the Internet: "One idol a year, a rare encounter with Andy Lau in a hundred years" vividly illustrates his unique position and lasting influence in pop culture.
Every Lunar New Year, Andy Lau's popular song "Wishing you prosperity" will always resound in the streets as promised, and the cheerful melody and auspicious blessings are like catalysts, pushing the atmosphere of the New Year to a climax and making the taste of the New Year more mellow and intense.
Time flies, after decades of precipitation, Andy Lau still stands in the hearts of countless people and has become an insurmountable model of excellence.
His talent, tireless efforts, and noble character are all admirable; And the good living habits he has adhered to for decades have created his outstanding physical and mental state, which is the envy of countless people.
Not long ago, Andy Lau, who is 62 years old, appeared in Dong Yuhui's live broadcast room, which instantly detonated a heated discussion on the whole network. People marvel at the fact that time seems to have forgotten the marks on him, and there are almost no traces of the vicissitudes of time on his appearance, which is undoubtedly the best proof of self-strict management.
The gap between people is often condensed in these four words - "self-management".
Entering the middle-aged stage of life, the highest level of life attitude is: deep self-examination to clarify the direction, firm self-discipline to persevere, and positive self-healing to cope with the situation. With his practical actions, Andy Lau has shown the world what is a real high-level way of living.
Cultivation Habits:
Stabilize the pace of life and know how to introspect
As the old saying goes: "Eat modestly, live regularly", this is the philosophy of life precipitated by thousands of years of wisdom. The so-called "eating modestly" actually advocates a scientific and controlled diet, emphasizing that three meals a day should be reasonably matched, nutritionally balanced, timely and appropriate, and taboo indulgence to achieve the effect of health and health.
"Routine" is a high summary of the regular rhythm of life, which means that the work and rest are orderly and the living state is stable, so as to conform to the laws of nature and nourish the body and mind.
Among the bright stars in the entertainment industry, superstar Andy Lau vividly interprets this health concept with his decades of self-disciplined life. In an in-depth interview, he generously shared his "secret to immortality" to maintain youthful vitality and good physical condition, and detailed the healthy menu for three meals a day.
At dawn, Andy Lau chooses to start his day with yogurt and fibre-rich cereals to ensure that he is productive and does not waste time, a habit that has been with him for a long time.
At lunchtime, he prefers to eat grain-rich energy-rich foods, accompanied by a variety of ingredients such as plain yoghurt, boiled chicken and fresh vegetables, aiming to fully replenish the various trace elements and nutrients required by the body.
As for the night fall, the dinner still adheres to the principle of "eating modestly", using low-calorie staple foods such as brown rice and whole grains, and skillfully matching various vegetables and high-quality proteins**, striving to ensure a balanced nutritional structure while strictly controlling calorie intake to maintain a good body shape and health.
His food philosophy has always adhered to the principle of low oil and low salt, never indulged in appetite, and put an end to the bad habit of overeating.
Such a lifestyle can not only provide a long-lasting and stable energy supply for the body, but also maintain a good posture and effectively avoid the health risks caused by sudden weight gain or excessive physiological indicators.
For a long time, good habits have been like the cornerstone of life, laying the foundation for a person's success and happiness; On the other hand, bad habits can erode the quality of life and even push life into difficulties.
Entering the middle age stage, it is particularly important to cultivate a healthy lifestyle, establish a regular and orderly rhythm of life, and often self-reflect, so as to become more and more comfortable in the passage of time.
Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental, once shared a personal experience in a speech: during a vacation, he saw many people lazily going out to enjoy the sun and beach in the afternoon, and then gathering in bars to party late at night.
At first, he tried to fit into this lifestyle, but when he was in the hustle and bustle of a late-night bar, he felt a deep discomfort and exhaustion, and soon left in a hurry.
After returning to the quiet room, he settled his mood, sorted out his thoughts, chose to pick up a book, savored the words, and then fell asleep peacefully. The next morning, he wakes up early to turn on his computer, and uses the most sober and productive time of the day to enrich himself and get to work.
Looking back, Yu Minhong said frankly: "These good habits have been deeply imprinted in my life genes, and it is they that have shaped my relatively high-quality life today. In this way, he warned young people that if they indulge in the quagmire of desire in their youth, and turn their routines and rests upside down, eat and drink indiscriminately, they will only dig a deep pit that is difficult to cross in the future middle age.
The decades-old good habits, such as eating regularly, going to bed early and waking up early, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, are like the cornerstones of life, helping you shape a better self in the long journey of life.
Mr. Chen Daoming once profoundly expounded a philosophical viewpoint: "Temperance is the supreme enjoyment of life." Whether it is material release or spiritual indulgence, it seems to be a breeze, but the most valuable thing is to know how to control it. ”
When people live to an extreme state, they are well versed in the subtleties of life to be moderate, and to maintain restraint in the face of desires.
Entering the second half of life, do not squander your life energy, cherish your body and take care of it, which is the prerequisite for a happy life.
Athletic fitness:
On the way to getting older, maintain self-discipline
A research report published in the World ** revealed:
Scientific data shows that people who exercise regularly are 52% happier than those who are less physically active. ”
The process of exercise can not only give the individual body full of vitality, delay the signs of physiological aging, but also play a positive role in cleansing troubles and relieving inner pressure. It is like a magic key that opens the door to physical and mental health, and is also an important way to improve the quality of life.
Andy Lau, who has worked hard in the Chinese entertainment industry for more than 40 years, has always been praised for his rigorous attitude towards self-body management. Time flies, and the years don't seem to leave much of a mark on his figure, and as he gets older, he always keeps exercising, and is committed to shaping and maintaining a healthy body.
Outside of work, Andy Lau sets aside a period of precious leisure time every day to devote himself to fitness training, ensuring at least half an hour of exercise time to maintain the best physical condition.
Whether it is the wind and grass when running, or the strength explosion when lifting dumbbells, or the exuberance in aerobic exercise, in the days of sweat, he found the best posture and rhythm in his life.
In his view, maintaining physical health and shaping the ideal body shape is not an overnight effort, but requires a long-lasting and unremitting spirit of exercise. Mr. Zhou Ling has profoundly expounded this concept:
He likened that those who integrate exercise into their daily life have a physiological ecology in their bodies like a bubbling spring, full of vitality and vitality; On the other hand, a person who has been sitting still for a long time is like a stagnant pool of stagnant water, lacking the rhythm of life. ”
As the years go by, we need to push ourselves out of our comfort zone and cultivate to become a self-disciplined person, so as to embrace the lifestyle given by self-discipline. Through persistent physical exercise to forge a strong physique, continue to accumulate and improve physical fitness, the deeper the degree of self-discipline, the more youthful life will be.
At the Temple of Heaven Award ceremony, Wu Yanshu, the 84-year-old but still beautiful "national grandmother", won the crown of the actress. Her calm and elegant demeanor amazed countless audiences and expressed their admiration for her.
Ms. Wu Yanshu candidly shared that despite her advanced age, she still maintains a young heart, loves basketball, and is happy to make her body active. In her spare time, she insists on various fitness exercises such as planks, and watering healthy flowers with sweat.
It is precisely because of the excellent physical fitness brought about by decades of perseverance in sports that Wu Yanshu can still travel the world independently, enjoy the rich and colorful scenery of life, and vividly interpret the true meaning of "life lies in sports".
As Ms. Wu Yanshu profoundly explained, "Man is like a machine, if left unused, it will fall into aging and rust." Only by upholding an unquenchable curiosity and a positive and enterprising spirit can we maintain our youthful vitality. ”
Instead of indulging in wasting time, continuing the lazy attitude towards life, and ignoring the shaping of the body shape and the maintenance of health, it is better to choose to start immediately, devote yourself to sports, find your own way of exercising, and make every inch of time full of meaning in the limited time of life.
The trajectories of self-disciplined and non-self-disciplined people are very different, and each paints a very different picture of life.
Please firmly believe that time is the best yardstick to measure the results of all efforts, and those who can finally reach the end and reap the fruits are those who always maintain a high degree of self-discipline.
High mentality:
Save your mental energy and learn to heal yourself
In the live broadcast, Dong Yuhui affectionately shared a true story that happened around him:
In one season before the harvest, a sudden hailstorm raged like a beast of prey, mercilessly smashing the fruit on the branches. The fruit tree, which once carried countless hard sweat and expectations, instantly became devastated, which made everyone feel sad and difficult to accept this cruel reality.
Although the grandmother was very reluctant, she did not complain, but chose to bear the blow silently. She bent down, picked up the mud-stained fruits that had been knocked down by the hail, carefully wiped them clean, put them in a bag, and then dragged her heavy steps home.
At that time, the road was muddy and difficult, and every step seemed to challenge the tenacious will, but my grandmother always gritted her teeth and persevered, without complaining.
Looking down, I saw that my grandmother's knees were completely soaked in mud, but she still walked silently, and the forbearance and strength were moving.
In the face of unforeseen disasters in life and the losses that have already been caused, many people may fall into deep sorrow, as if their hearts are tightly entangled in dead knots.
However, Dong Yuhui's grandmother calmly coped with all these changes with an open-mindedness and acceptance beyond ordinary people. Not only did she generously give the unripe green apples to her neighbors to feed her cattle and sheep, but she also skillfully used the remaining fruit to brew it into a mellow fruit vinegar.
This weather-beaten old man, who has tasted the bitterness of life all his life, has gone through countless baptisms of wind and rain, but he can still stand up from the trough of fate and taste the taste of life from sour to sweet with a smile - the bottle of apple cider vinegar brewed by herself is the best portrayal of her tenacious spirit.
Savoring this story, we can't help but realize that it is this attitude of calm acceptance that gives people great strength. It allows us to allow everything in life to happen, bravely accept the impermanence of the world, face up to all challenges and difficulties, and stop unnecessary mental friction in time, so as to find hope in adversity and refine the sweetness of life in frustration.
Before Andy Lau embarked on a glorious star journey, he also experienced ups and downs, tasted the ups and downs of life.
* once portrayed him as "the most criticized newcomer in the entertainment industry", in the face of the pressure of ** and the doubts of his peers about his acting skills, some people even sharply degraded him as a "vase", but Andy Lau chose to remain silent, not eager to argue, but chose to prove himself with actions.
When asked what he thought of those doubtful voices, he smiled indifferently and responded wisely and firmly: "There is no need for-for-tat rebuttals, but you should carefully reflect on your words." ”
When it comes to the twists and turns he has taken, he seems to be calm and knows the truth: "Life is like this, if you want to be the protagonist on the stage of your life, you must accept all adversity and good times, and let them shape your growth together." ”
Adhering to the belief that "the environment is born from the heart, and all things turn with the heart", truly outstanding people know how to accept the ups and downs of life, they learn to heal themselves, and accumulate a profound spiritual heritage.
As Mr. Jia Pingwa said in his book: "No matter whether life is bitter or happy, gain or loss, the most important thing is that the clear spring in the heart always reflects the brilliance of the moonlight." ”
In the second half of life, it is more necessary to take a long-term view, cultivate a detached and open-minded mentality, like a doctor, and carefully understand the deep wounds in your heart.
In the second half of life, a sound and positive mindset is not only an effective way to reduce the load of life, but also the best way to give life strength and vitality.
In Zhihu's vast Q&A, there is a thought-provoking question: What is the best state of life in a person's life? One of the most admired answers was incisive: "You can live with your spirit and dreams in your youth, you will not be stained with the greasy nature of the world in your middle age, and you will be able to stay away from loneliness in your old age." ”
From this moment on, let us adjust the pace of life, take care of the body and mind, self-discipline and self-improvement as the top priority, carefully take care of every detail of life, and strive to complete this wonderful drama on the stage of life without regrets.
Here, we sincerely invite you to click to follow, and hope that you will always grasp the present, cherish the nourishment of three meals a day, and enjoy the changes of the four seasons of the year.
