No need to spend a fortune on classes! One trick from medical education that can best help spiritual growth
Dr. Jiang Guanyu emphasized that when encountering difficult-to-solve problems or encountering bottlenecks in performing tasks, you may wish to first focus on reducing stress sources to ensure that the brain circuits operate in a stress-free environment. For example, “exercise” is one of the many good hobbies that has been proven by research to have a stress-reducing effect. “Believe me or not: the best psychological growth is to ‘go exercise’!”
A study by the University of South Australia published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) pointed out that exercise intervention can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms, and the effect is 1.5 times higher than psychological counseling or mainstream drugs. The research team used “effect size” to measure the impact of physical activity on improving psychological problems. The larger the effect size, the more significant the improvement.
Exercise improves metabolism and endocrinology: helps boost mood and positive thinking
In this study, the effect sizes of physical activity on reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety were -0.43 and -0.42 respectively; for psychological stress, the effect size of physical activity was -0.60. In addition, different intensities of exercise have different effects on improving depression. For example, the effect sizes of low, medium, and high-intensity exercise are -0.22, -0.56, and -0.70 respectively, and the effect sizes increase with increasing intensity.
As the exercise intervention time increases, the effect size tends to weaken: for short-term intervention (≤12 weeks), mid-term intervention (12 to 23 weeks) and long-term intervention (≥24 weeks), the effect sizes are -0.84, -0.46, respectively. -0.28. The impact of different frequencies of exercise on the effect size, the effect sizes of high (5-7 times per week), medium (4-5 times per week), and low (less than 4 times per week) frequencies are -0.76 and -1.12 respectively , -0.47. High-frequency exercise may not necessarily achieve the highest effect.
Studies have shown that physical activity has particularly significant effects on certain groups, including patients with depression, HIV infection, kidney disease patients and pregnant women. Relevant units are encouraged to use exercise as the main method to treat depression. Dr. Jiang Guanyu added that exercise helps metabolism, increases the concentration of dopamine and serotonin, and thus helps boost mood and positive thinking.
Is life stuck in a quagmire? Make good use of psychological counseling resources to get out of trouble
If excessive internal and external stress leads to psychological morbidity and stagnation in daily life, you should have the courage to seek medical help. Dr. Jiang Guanyu said that at this time, you might as well take advantage of the three free psychological consultations provided by the Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare. Although the “encouragement effect” of this policy is greater than the “treatment effect,” for middle-aged and middle-aged people with psychological problems, Nothing more than an important first step.
In addition, there are currently many psychological consultation channels. You can discuss with professionals whether to adopt “cognitive behavioral therapy” to gradually resolve trauma or inner entanglements. “It should be noted that life’s problems will only come one after another. Don’t have the wrong expectation that problems can be solved after a few consultations. Psychological counseling can be helpful, but you must be willing to pay the cost. “Invest!”
Finally, Dr. Jiang Guanyu said that if you want to promote spiritual growth, there is no “one-size-fits-all” answer. He suggested gaining a sense of support through positive social interactions and sports training, and cultivating a positive and fearless attitude in the present. In addition, as long as you feel a little uncomfortable when participating in a specific group, “That is the wrong environment, person or group! Please leave as soon as possible and firmly refuse them to enter your field.”
