Broadly speaking, it refers to various levels and crises that may occur during this stage of life, such as career, health, family, and marriage; Narrowly speaking, it refers to various disease symptoms that may occur in physiological functions. In this issue, we have compiled and distributed the methods for resolving middle-aged crises by psychological expert Song Zhiying, hoping to add a touch of relaxation to busy middle-aged friends.

Life is like a car preparing for a long journey, running thousands of miles requires an oil change, and after a period of time, it requires an overhaul. Otherwise, breaking down on the highway and seeing cars rushing by one after another on the road can be embarrassing and infuriating. So, middle-aged you, it's time to re-examine your life.
If you are already feeling tired, it's best to take a long vacation and reflect on what you truly want and what is most important to you. Objectively review your strengths and weaknesses to have a better plan for the rest of your life:
Firstly, one must have a regular lifestyle, schedule a regular schedule, and ensure sufficient sleep and a light diet;
2. Set a goal that aligns with your current physiological and psychological functional state;
3. If you have too many things to do, make a list of 'things to do' and cross out 1/3 of them;
4. Be sure to set aside "your own time" every day, do nothing, or do something that you enjoy, that can make you feel relaxed and happy, even for 30 minutes. This "your own time" is the "car maintenance" every day;
5. If you are in a bad mood, you must find a way to express it, whether it is through language or other forms of expression, such as artistic forms such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, literary forms such as poetry, prose, and diary, as well as physical movements such as mountain climbing, swimming, and ball games;
6. Find a psychology professional to directly confide and resolve in person, and use another mast to help you lift the sail of life and continue sailing.
These can all have the effect of "constantly brushing the dust". The onset of psychological crisis in middle age is largely due to the stains from life experiences in adolescence and adolescence falling on the "mirror" of the mind. Due to not being cleaned up in a timely manner, it accumulates more and more. By middle age, this mirror of the mind has already been covered with thick dust, so daily "brushing" has become a lesson for us to maintain mental agility and decision-making.
