Since the escalation of Xi’an epidemic control measures, the general public has contributed to the fight against the epidemic through home isolation. In normal life, if you suddenly press the pause button, you will inevitably have some mental fluctuations. So, how to adjust your mentality? At the 45th press conference on epidemic prevention and control held in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province on January 3, Professor Zhong Yijuan, chief physician of the Xi’an Mental Health Center, gave you some suggestions.
First of all, staying at home is itself an anti-epidemic behavior, which is of great significance to individuals and society. Everyone must realize that each of us is doing the most meaningful thing.
Secondly, we must do a good job of self-regulation. Here we must emphasize two minds: peace of mind and confidence. These two hearts are an important foundation for ensuring mental health. In addition, regarding self-adjustment skills during staying at home, I suggest you grasp the following four key points:
01 normalization
When staying at home, the original rules of life, work, and study are disrupted. At this time, it will bring changes in sleep, diet, and mood to each individual. Some people have sleep problems, appetite problems, emotional irritability, and worry. First of all, everyone must realize that these changes are normal, and don’t think that these changes are “sickness”. Don’t imply yourself with this kind of thinking.
02Family intimacy
Usually family members get together for a short time due to busy work and study, and it is also a rare reunion time for the family during the stay at home. Many parents do not usually spend time with their children. It is recommended that all family members, especially parents and children, use this time to cook, exercise, and watch film and television variety shows together. Parents of young preschoolers or lower-grade students should set a role model, pay attention to the impact of their emotions on their children, and do not complain or panic in front of their children; parents should not stare at their children everything during adolescent children’s stay at home. It is the parent-child relationship that may most affect the child’s emotions. Couples should also strengthen their cohesion and express their love. Carry out more family activities involving all family members. Exercise together, watch film and television programs, play games, cards, etc., conduct audio and video calls with relatives and friends in different places, or conduct family reunion activities through the Internet.
03Communication
Residents, especially citizens living alone, can use various communication tools to establish contact with relatives and friends, chat and talk, etc., or call the 24-hour psychological counseling hotline 4008960960, which is also a good way to establish links and communicate with other people.
04 update
Learn a new skill, learn the use of a software, read a new book, start a new parent-child game, etc.
