Old people often travel with their families and like-minded relatives and friends. At the same time, they can make many new friends during the trip, which is quite beneficial to eliminate the lonely character of the elderly.

2. After retirement, learn to change the role to old age, retire, and then retire. No matter how high your previous official position is and how much money you have, you should forget your former glory and glory and realize the role change as soon as possible. Be a kind elder at home, do more, talk less, warm your family with love and enjoy family happiness. Outside, you should put down your airs, treat others equally, make friends with ordinary people, feel warm and pass on happiness.

4. Continue to study and enrich yourself. After retirement, the elderly can continue to learn new knowledge, read books and newspapers, and care about state affairs. Conditional can join the university for the aged, enrich life, delay brain aging and prevent the occurrence of dementia.

Through learning, we can also strengthen the connection between the elderly and society and enhance their own sense of social value.

5. Dare to meet strangers. When the elderly move to a strange environment, they should face the reality, boldly go out of their homes, actively communicate with others, care more about helping others, establish new contacts and integrate into the new environment as soon as possible. Make more friends in all aspects, especially those who forget to celebrate the New Year. There must be some close friends or sisters. Appreciate and praise others more, learn from others' strengths to make up for their shortcomings, and constantly improve their own quality. Learning to open your heart and communicate with friends more will help to relieve your depression.

6. Cultivate hobbies, such as reading, writing, calligraphy, painting, photography, playing the piano, singing, dancing, boxing, playing chess, growing flowers, vegetables, fishing, handcrafting and keeping pets ... Everything has inexhaustible knowledge and skills, which can open a window for you and let you see a colorful world. You can choose one or two and get involved. Doing what you like as a career is conducive to cultivating positive spiritual pursuit and keeping yourself happy, energetic and healthy.

7. I believe that retired middle-aged and elderly people have difficulties or failures in self-regulation, and their families feel helpless in the face of such problems. And when the elderly feel unwell, in a bad mood or depressed, they should take the initiative to seek help, avoid taboo diseases and avoid medical treatment, and seek psychological counseling in time. Qingyuan Psychological Counseling Center has professional mental health counselors for middle-aged and elderly people. Psychological counselors have many years of consulting experience and have received a large number of similar cases. I believe I will provide you with professional help.

8. Make friends with widowed or divorced elderly people. It is also a good way to solve loneliness if you can find your favorite partner, reorganize your family and let love nourish your soul. However, remarriage must be considered carefully and carefully to avoid being hurt again. For the elderly, remarriage can not only take care of and support each other in life, but also communicate and comfort each other in spirit, so that they can achieve psychological balance and spiritual relaxation. It can make people spend their happy old age happily and enjoy the last stage of life.

9. Learn to appreciate yourself. Many retired people will have a negative idea that they are too old to work and have been eliminated by society. Actually, this is not right. Old people should learn to appreciate themselves. We are old, not incompetent or useless. When we were young, we had made due contributions to our family and society. Even if you are old, you are no longer productive. As long as you are alive, you must make contributions to your family and society. Don't feel inferior, don't be depressed, see your strengths and advantages, live a happy life with confidence, and face life with a smile. Don't be too frugal, enjoy yourself, dress yourself up carefully, wear fashionable clothes, and participate in various social activities gracefully.

The above nine methods, I hope more elderly people can benefit, pay attention to some lonely ways, go out for a walk at ordinary times, especially after retirement, pay attention to the way of interacting with people, take more walks at ordinary times, and pay attention to their own sports, learn to enrich themselves, learn to appreciate themselves in daily life and avoid loneliness.
