That little thing about mentality
A few days ago, a friend who had known me for 25 years happened to be running an errand near home, and he stopped by to have a few cups of tea with me and have a chat.
Seeing that he was very busy during this time, it turned out that there were some things in his life that he needed to participate in, he was busy with work during the day, and he was busy with family affairs at night, so it can be said that he was busy until the sky was dark. It just so happened that during this time period, I had some free time, so I was asked to drink tea and relax my mood.
He used to work in car sales for a while, and I remember that at that time, it was quite difficult to ask him for tea or dinner, because this job needs to be busy from morning to night, and holidays are the peak sales season in this industry, so I don't have time to pay attention to me.
In the past, we could only get together during the Spring Festival. Later, he changed careers, and his current work is more free and flexible, and he has time to get together from time to time.
I have known him for so many years, and what I feel most deeply is that he has an excellent mentality, no matter what environment he is in, he can maintain an optimistic attitude, he is the same age as me, from him, I have learned to face life with a positive and optimistic attitude.
He has a lot of experience in the industry and life as I do, so every time I talk to him, I can learn something.
That day, we talked a lot about life, and there was a consensus that at our age, it is very important to maintain a good attitude.
In fact, this is also a natural result, after all, we are no longer young and frivolous, and what age group needs to match what kind of life state.
This friend's decision to adjust the form of work was a deliberate one, with a lot of material losses, but the purpose was out of family considerations. From the fast-paced and high-intensity work in the past to the relatively relaxed work state at present, it can be seen that his mentality has become better and better over the years.
Speaking of mentality, I was a little irritable for a while, which probably has a lot to do with my own state of life. Because in recent years, my identity has changed, similar to the life secretary at home. Speaking of which, the daily things at home are no less than work, and they are more tedious, so at that time, my whole person seemed to be inexplicably irritable.
You have to rely on yourself to adjust your mentality, and outsiders can't help you or anything. At the same time, I was also aware of my own mentality, so I tried to adjust my mind.
I said to myself that this current state of life is much better than many people, and it is more than enough. So, when I think of this, I suddenly feel that I am not qualified to complain about anything.
Just like that year, due to well-known reasons, I had to stay at home, looking at the road from the balcony, and seeing the busy figures of one takeaway guy after another, you will understand a lot.
From rarely going to the vegetable market and cooking in the past, to buying vegetables and cooking later, as well as buying daily necessities, although it seems trivial, there is a sense of release after doing it for a long time. Shopping is really decompressing, and you can also observe various microcosms of people's lives from the wet market.
Ever since I started listening to books, I've become more and more fond of listening to books that allow me to listen to works on various topics while I'm busy, and it's also a way to regulate my mood, just like a friend by your side telling you all kinds of interesting stories. Every day, it's so much fun that I never get tired of it, and enjoy the relaxation that comes with listening to a book.
Waking up early every day is my regular rhythm. Waking up early has been my habit for many years, but in recent years, I have been waking up early to play games. A few years ago, I liked a football management game, in order not to occupy other time, I got up early and played for half an hour, of course, the total time to play the game every day was controlled at about a time, and there was no plaything discouragement. It feels like you're in a parallel world when you're playing the game, evoking all sorts of fanaticism about football.
Of course, sometimes I still feel emotionally agitated, but it's much better than before. Personally, I feel that I can find some fun for myself and find joy in life as much as possible. You don't have to spend too much money and time to let your hobbies become a regulator of your mindset.
