Chapter 58 Women who are too demanding on themselves should rub Xiaxi acupoint more
It is a good thing to pursue perfection in doing things, but it may not be a good thing to be too demanding on yourself.It is a good thing to pursue perfection in doing things, but it may not be a good thing to be too demanding on yourself.A friend who is doing psychological counseling told me such a short story: One day, the old tea master watched his son clean the garden.When the son finished sweeping, the tea master said: "It's not clean enough, let's sweep it again." So the son swept it again.Then he said: "Father, I am doing very well now. I have washed the stone steps three times, and wiped the stone lanterns many times. The trees have been watered, and the moss is also shining green. on the ground." At this time, the tea master said angrily: "You are such a stupid boy, this is not the way to clean the garden, this is like a cleanliness." He came to the garden and shook a tree vigorously. The leaves fell to the ground, and then said: "Cleaning the garden does not only require cleanliness, but also requires beauty and nature." Yes, the pursuit of perfection is a virtue, but if this requirement is to be perfect, it becomes a kind of virtue. If you are demanding, you will not be able to achieve the effect of self-cultivation, and your mood will also be bound.

Women are perfectionists by nature, and Xiaxi Point can rescue the bound soul. Women seem to be born to pursue perfection, and they can't easily bear the shortcomings of beautiful things.Coco Chanel, the founder of Chanel, once said: "Women are born perfectionists." As a woman, she has been striving for perfection almost all her life. They hope that love will always be as bright as summer flowers, and they hope that time will always be fixed at the age of 18. They I hope that I can satisfy myself and realize my dream.There are many female friends around me who are pursuing perfection in doing things. They are too demanding on themselves, and the result is that they make themselves nervous and their lives are messed up.There is a female friend who loves to pursue perfection in everything.She is 33 years old and works as the deputy general manager of a foreign company. She has just divorced. The reason for the divorce is because she pursues perfection in everything she does, and she is most afraid that others will think she is not perfect.Sometimes she never let go of her mistakes.Her husband couldn't stand her character and ended up breaking up.At work, she is proficient in business, meticulous in work, conscientious and able to endure hardships; at the same time, she is also very strict with others.

Although she is appreciated by her boss, she is not welcomed by her subordinates.She always wants to do things better, coordinate interpersonal relationships, and is very concerned about others' evaluation of herself.But things didn't go as planned, and she couldn't get a satisfactory return. She felt that the whole world was against her.Especially after the divorce, I once criticized my subordinates, and I heard such behind-the-scenes discussions: I can't even get along well with my husband, who can stand such a woman.For this reason, she fell into a deep depression.Recently, she felt that her spirit was about to collapse, and sometimes she also felt swollen cheeks, tinnitus and headache.Later, I told her that she only needs to be correct in doing things, and don't be too demanding on the results.It is also necessary to press and rub the Xiaxi acupoint for 20 minutes every day, and after a few days, it will be able to dispel heart fire and eliminate swelling and pain.Xiaxi point is located on the outside of the dorsum of our feet, between the 4th and 5th toes, at the red and white fleshy point behind the webbed edge of the toes.After a period of adjustment in this way, her heart was relaxed.Seeking perfection and being afraid of failure can only paralyze us, so female friends should get rid of the temptation of pursuing perfection as soon as possible with the help of Xiaxi Point.

Chapter 59 Season after season, becoming more and more beautiful -- 30-year-old woman's four-season maintenance method
We are not born to be isolated, but to be one with nature, which is called "the unity of man and nature" in Chinese medicine. "Su Wen·Four Atmospheric Adjustment Theory" contains: "The yin and yang of the husband are the root of all things, so the sages nourish yang in spring and summer, and yin in autumn and winter, so as to follow their roots." It also said: "From yin and yang, life, If you go against it, you will die; if you follow it, you will be cured, and if you go against it, you will be in chaos." This profoundly shows that we must follow the four seasons in our health preservation.If female friends can follow the essentials of keeping in good health in four seasons and harmonize the body with the natural environment outside, they will naturally gain beauty and health.Sun Simiao, a great health care expert in the Tang Dynasty, said: "In spring, it is better to save acid, increase sweetness, and nourish temper." When the footsteps of spring are approaching, mature women begin to cheer with spring like girls!In spring, everything is revived and Yang Qi rises. At this time, the Yang Qi in our body also conforms to nature and begins to flow upwards and outwards.This is the time when you should be the most angry.

Female friends who have been bored all winter, you should have a good time at this time!What should I eat at this time?According to the characteristics of rising yang energy and vigorous metabolism in spring, female friends should eat more mild and delicious food in spring, and avoid greasy, raw and cold things.Mild food can warm the body and protect the Yang Qi in the body.Remember, warm women are the prettiest!Female friends who love sour food should eat less in spring, even if you are a pregnant woman who loves sour food, it is advisable to eat less.Sun Simiao, a great health-preserving expert in the Tang Dynasty, said: "In spring, it is better to save acid and increase sweetness to nourish your temper." You can eat more sweet foods at this time to nourish the spleen and stomach.Of course, the sweet food mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine not only means that the taste of the food is a little sweet, but more importantly, it must have the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach.Among these foods, I like jujube and yam the most.If jujube, yam, rice, and millet are cooked together, it can not only prevent the recurrence of gastritis and gastric ulcer, but also reduce the risk of infectious diseases such as influenza. It is most suitable for eating in spring.

In addition, rice, millet, glutinous rice, sorghum, barley, cowpea, soybean, lentil, cabbage, spinach, carrot, taro, potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, mushroom, black fungus, longan, chestnut, etc. are all sweet foods in Chinese medicine.In addition, eat less cold food such as cucumbers, wax gourds, and mung bean sprouts, which will hinder the growth of yang in the body in spring.Why eat less sour and more sweet?Spring is the season when the liver qi is in season, and the liver qi is prone to hyperactivity. According to the five elements theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver belongs to wood, the spleen belongs to earth, and wood and soil are mutually restrained. , or do not think about food and drink.The five flavors enter the five internal organs, among which the sour taste enters the liver, the sweet taste enters the spleen, and the sweet food enters the spleen, which can nourish the temper, so you can eat more.We know that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of biochemistry of qi and blood in the human body.The Qi of the spleen and stomach is strong, and the Qi and blood are naturally abundant. A woman with sufficient Qi and blood has the most beautiful complexion. ?Tips to benefit a lifetime: Spring diet has principles: 1. Focus on high calories: eat more cereal products, sesame seeds, peanuts, walnuts and other foods to keep out the cold. 2. Add more high-quality protein: such as eggs, fish, shrimp, beef, chicken, rabbit meat and soy products, etc., to increase resistance. 3. Add enough vitamins and inorganic salts: Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, bell pepper, tomato, carrot, amaranth, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. are all good choices.
