How can empty nesters ensure their mental health?

Get rid of the influence of China traditional culture and establish new family relations. Relieve the psychological attachment to children. We should shift the focus of family relations from vertical relationship (parent-child relationship) to horizontal relationship (husband-wife relationship) as soon as possible. Appropriately reduce the emotional investment in children and reduce the expectations of children to repay their parents. Especially when children reach the age of "leaving the nest", they should be fully psychologically prepared and gradually reduce their dependence on children.

2. Emotional adjustment

You can read some books on recuperation and health care in your spare time. Understand health care knowledge and learn some ways to adjust your mood. For example, when you are flustered, listen to music and take a deep breath; When the mood fluctuates irregularly, strengthen self-control and keep inner peace.

Keep a good attitude

For example, "other old people are often' three highs' and I am' six highs'." Li Nainai pulled out his fingers and counted them one by one. His blood pressure, blood lipid and cholesterol are not high. Besides, his floor is not high, he is short and his salary is not high Li Nainai has a profound philosophy of life: being a man "should be able to stretch long and knead round". Don't care about trifles, look for spiritual sustenance, enrich new life content and sublimate the meaning of life.

4. Behavior changes

Arrange your own life and be prepared for sudden physical discomfort. You can greet your children, relatives and friends, neighbors, community workers and colleagues in advance so that you can get help in time in case of emergency.

Make a detailed "task list" for yourself: make a scientific and reasonable schedule of work and rest according to everyone's specific situation. Eat on time and according to quality every day, clean the room carefully, and participate in regular exercise for the elderly. As empty nesters, we should arrange our own lives, try our best to keep healthy and lay the foundation for a healthy life.
