The Student Level of Epidemic Psychology
- Accept your moderate anxiety.
When a health emergency occurs, emotional problems are the most prominent, ranking first among various problems, such as hypochondriasis, anxiety, panic, and compulsion. Anxiety is a normal response to a crisis. We should not deny and reject them. We need to accept and recognize our emotions and actively correct our negative automatic thinking. Acceptance and identification can generate the drive to change, which in turn generates the power to stabilize oneself. We must understand that the outbreak and development of the epidemic are temporal and staged, with "uphill" and "downhill", and will eventually leave us. And from the current situation, the epidemic is completely preventable and controllable.
- Prevent information overload and reduce psychological burden.
In the era of all media, the explosion of epidemic information and the overwhelming amount of emotional and grim news on social media will bring a certain psychological burden to people. And most students can only stay at home, the feeling of powerlessness that can't do anything will magnify this psychological burden. It is recommended that students limit the time they spend looking at their mobile phones, watch information released by trusted media at a fixed time, avoid contact with various information during the vulnerable time period of the day (such as one hour before going to bed), and avoid spending too much time in dealing with some negative information. many psychological resources.
- Use more positive information to increase your psychological positive energy.
Our panic psychology is largely derived from various negative stimuli, and various negative information "strongly" impacts our nerves and causes anxiety. If this kind of information spreads through the Internet or from word of mouth at home, it will inevitably form and strengthen panic. Therefore, individuals should try their best to filter negative information and pay more attention to all kinds of good news, such as watching (listening to) all kinds of wonderful pictures in the news network, or recalling the happy things they have experienced, thinking that this is a way to give themselves more independence and peace of mind. Free vacation, thereby "expanding" one's own positive spiritual energy, has the effect of psychological stability.
- Regular work and rest to enhance self-control and a sense of certainty.
Try to maintain the original normal school life and learning rhythm, do not arbitrarily change. Being lazy will only make you worse off. And psychological research shows that a 21-day lifestyle can become a habit, while a 90-day lifestyle can become a firm habit and behavior. Therefore, I hope that the students will maintain their mental state and use their normal study and lifestyle to keep themselves in the same "full" state as before. This is the most beneficial operation to make oneself "safe", and "safety" is the best immunity.
- Do some meaningful activities to expand positive psychological resources.
By arranging study and life reasonably, students of different ages can:
Together with parents, choose to watch videos to learn to make cakes and prepare three hearty meals;
Download simple and dynamic aerobics or dance to exercise with the whole family;
Have a family story meeting and discuss the story together;
Clean the room together, organize unnecessary clothes, and prepare for donation later;
Play flying chess and puzzles together;
Organize old photos with the whole family and have good memories;
Make reasonable arrangements for physical exercise suitable for home activities, such as skipping rope.
- Can seek interpersonal support and maintain moderate social participation.
During the epidemic prevention period at home, students can communicate with classmates, partners, teachers, etc. Through the Internet and telephone, express your emotions, share and discuss related issues, and obtain mutual psychological support.
