When we want to be healthy, we usually want to improve in terms of our body, but more and more medical experts advocate health both physically and mentally. It is precisely because psychological states actually affect each other. If we do not adjust and relax mentally, daily life will be difficult to achieve. Sports trainer Tomoto Yamada, a sports trainer at Stanford University in the United States, has more than 20 years of experience in the field of sports medicine. In his new book "Stanford Rest Method to Keep Your Body Health", he shared two ways to restore energy to help us adjust our psychological state.

Use "Not yet" to open up endless possibilities. How can habitual words affect thinking

When half of the food in front of you is left, is it "only half left" or "half left"? Although it is all the same thing, as we look at things differently, we will also have an extreme and anti-epidemic distinction in our minds, further affecting our response and action against tasks.

People who think they cannot do it often find it difficult to take the first step in practice. Negative ideas hinder the power toward the goal, and the failed experience will even affect the goals he set next. This is also why it is so important to maintain a "heart that has not yet been done".

"However, it does not yet" represents "Not yet", which means there is still possibility and there is still room for growth in the future, which is compared to the negligence of "it has been completed and cannot be done".

Please always encourage yourself: it’s not that you can’t do it, but that you haven’t done it at the moment, helping to adjust it to a more resilient mind.

Relax the mind through "gasm"

Maybe you have been reminded not to make a sound, and your health will become worse, but from the perspective of physiological science, "physiological breathing" (exhalation) is actually an instinctive anti-warning reaction. When the body feels pressure or tension, it will unconsciously calm the mood through breathing adjustments.

Stanford University research found that baby will use the breathing rhythm of "two breaths and one breath" to suppress crying, and adults who feel the pressure will also be like this, because the breathing rhythm is closely related to the autonomous neural system.

When we face huge pressure, our breathing will be rapid and silenced, and the sympathetic nerve will be overly active. Through two short and short breathing and one deep and long breath, we can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, and the heart rate and will slowly drop, achieving the effect of relaxation and tranquility.

Next time when you feel the negative feelings come, please try the "two inhales and one breath" recommended by experts!
