Chapter 287: Man and Tao (II)

After some exploration of survival consciousness, Wu Wei found that the design of mental programs lacked health elements. He introduced the elements of health into the program design and summarized the eight elements of healthy survival consciousness. The consciousness of healthy survival is neither a single element of consciousness nor a simple accumulation of diverse elements of consciousness, but a combination of diverse elements of consciousness into an organic consciousness system according to certain rules.

The first is the value orientation of consciousness. It does not refer to the active activity of consciousness in general, but the agency of consciousness is the nature of consciousness. The value orientation of consciousness is the consciousness activity that is directed and controlled by the conscious choice of artificiality, which determines the direction and path of subsequent consciousness activities. It determines the overall pattern of the state of human existence.

The second is to be able to establish appropriate value portfolio targets. Whether it is through external input, injection methods, or internal generation, there should be a clear value portfolio goal in order to achieve perfect self-control.

The third is the self-knowledge of consciousness. It refers to the state of conscious awareness of the actor, with a clear judgment of his or her own situation, a clear expectation of the consequences of his or her efforts, and an understanding of his or her limitations.

Fourth, the unity of compatibility and balance of consciousness. For the contradictions and conflicts in the inner world that arise due to the changes in external factors, compatibility can be generated, so as to form an internal balance through the further adjustment and dissolution of the inner world. This balance will be broken with the change of external factors or internal factors, and the balance can be maintained through internal adjustment.

Fifth, the unity of self-sufficiency and enterprising nature of consciousness. Self-sufficiency is a positive evaluation of one's own existence and the balance between one's own situation, one's own efforts and results, so as to bring peace of mind and peace of mind. To be enterprising is to realize the shortcomings of certain aspects of the existence and to make further efforts in order to further improve one's own living situation.

Sixth, the openness of consciousness. An open consciousness system is essential for overcoming its own closedness and conservatism, constantly accepting and absorbing new information from the outside world, identifying and seizing strategic development opportunities, and maintaining the body's metabolic function. Very important.

Seventh, the health concept of having both physical and mental health, but paying more attention to mental health.

Eighth, a healthy sense of survival should reflect the characteristics of the times. In the context of different times, the connotation of healthy survival consciousness is also different, reflecting the characteristics of different times. Contemporary people's sense of healthy survival should show strong extroverted psychological adjustment characteristics, not a negative and blind mentality, but a rational, positive, and effective psychological characteristics to change their own situation.

It has become extremely important to develop healthy personality qualities. Five Principles for Cultivating Healthy Personality Qualities:

One is the principle of affinity. The qualitative factors of consciousness also exist in identity, proximity, and affinity. The formation of certain basic mental traits is hereditary, indicating that frequent contact is the most effective way of influence. Qualities such as diligence and laziness are often psychological tendencies that can be expressed in the infancy of human beings, and these natural tendencies are consciously strengthened and become prominent qualities. The second is the principle of action reinforcement. Action is the best enhancer. It is not enough to recognize the importance of certain qualitative factors. Cowardly and brave, the new soldier first entered the battlefield to face a hail of bullets. How many times do you have to hesitate before jumping out of the trench and launching a charge, and in the end, you often complete the psychological transformation and leap in an instant. The third is the principle of directional reinforcement. The natural state of consciousness agency is discrete, wandering, and erratic. If there is no intentional control over the process of consciousness, or if the attention is concentrated for a long time and the mental fatigue occurs, the consciousness will take on its natural characteristics. The so-called lack of strength and firmness in will and belief is precisely the manifestation of the lack of artificial reinforcement and sublimation of consciousness due to the flow of nature. Memory is the establishment of a fixed connection between two or more neurons, and it is much more difficult to develop a certain quality factor than to remember something. Knowledge can be acquired through the guò learning path, but volitional qualities need to be tempered in practice, and in the process of forming a certain volitional quality. It is also necessary to attach importance to the role of targeted reinforcement and strive to eliminate and curb the breeding of opposing ideas. The fourth is the principle of induction and suggestion. It's not just repetition, but it's a constant change of perspective to persuade, over time. The idea in a state of flux is similar to an extremely rigorous logical reasoning, blocking all kinds of possible spillover paths, and finally making the expected idea in a fixed and locked state. Fifth, the principle that there is no gap in consciousness. Even if human consciousness does not add any intentional guidance or intervention, it will naturally be in a state of association and imagination. All kinds of whimsical ideas arise naturally, and it will naturally be influenced and accepted by the outside world. Mao Zedong's thesis that if the proletariat does not occupy the ideological front, the bourgeoisie will inevitably occupy it. It reflects this inherent characteristic of consciousness. Some scientists have succeeded in exploiting this characteristic of consciousness to achieve breakthrough scientific achievements. When concentrating on thinking about a certain problem and not being able to solve it, adopting the method of indulging the way of thinking and allowing it to associate freely will often make the scientific inertial thinking play a potential role, and unexpected ideas will emerge and break through the difficulties in one fell swoop.

In the face of the great creations of human beings, a single person generally feels unprecedented survival pressure, and it is necessary to establish a healthy view of survival pressure, that is, a moderate view of survival pressure. The concept of healthy survival pressure is the way and way to realize the external manifestation and realization of the value of life, so that people's needs can be satisfied, so as to resolve and dissolve the survival pressure. In a certain sense, survival stress is the psychological tension that arises when a certain goal in life is not achieved. From this perspective, the formation and dissipation of survival pressure have the characteristics of periodic cycles. Need is the psychological basis and source of people's enthusiasm, when people form a certain need and are stimulated by inducements to enter the state of reality, they will produce psychological stress symptoms such as tension, impulsiveness, and anxiety, which prompts people to actively seek objects or goals that can meet their needs, when the needs are linked to the goals, people can achieve the goals through various behavioral activities, and the needs become goals, and the needs are met, and the original stressful psychological symptoms of tension, impulsiveness, and anxiety will be effectively alleviated and eliminated, and the corresponding feelings of relaxation and pleasure will be produced; At this point, the person may create or provoke further needs, seek new goals of satisfaction, and start a new level of cycle.

He also summarized 9 ways to reduce psychological stress.

(1) Enhance the importance. Improving and elevating one's perception and attitude toward the meaning of one's activities, giving them importance or nobility, or feeling that things are extremely important, elevating the meaning of one's activities to the extreme, generating a positive attitude, and reducing the pressure on them accordingly. Depending on the meaning given, the weight of psychological sensation is also different.

(2) Decomposition pressure. For a variety of things that are currently being done, according to their important procedures and the difficulty of treatment, the graded treatment technology is used to divide the order and priority, and the symptoms are treated if they are urgent, and the root cause is cured if they are slow, and the pressure is decomposed.

(3) The passage of time. If the pressure is too high, then take the way of letting go and waiting, and the pressure will be reduced as time passes.

(4) Overcome fear and have the courage to meet challenges. Experience has proved that the more afraid you are of some things, the more nervous you are, the greater the psychological pressure, and facing challenges head-on may lead to a loss of pressure. The so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, which shows that the courage to resist inspired by head-on conflict is the best way to relieve pressure.

(5) Eliminate stressors. That is, to eliminate the source of stress, to dissolve some form of stress once and for all.

(6) Lower expectations and avoid excessive stress. It is not advisable to pursue perfection, to be happy to be perfect, but to be content with imperfection.

(7) Exclusion. Do "three don't want", that is, don't want to be useless, don't want to be unhappy, don't want to be incompetent.

(8) Action to reduce stress. Take some kind of positive action, distract attention, pass guò mental activity diversion substitution, reduce stress.

(9) Pay attention to self-cultivation. Strengthen the cultivation of healthy life values, enhance the sense of social responsibility, and improve the psychological tolerance of things with social value significance. (To be continued......)
