《易經》同聲相應,同氣相求。
和舒服的人事物一起,就是最好的養生了~
與頻率不同的人一起,可能委屈求全,可能戴上虛假的面具維持表面的和平,可能忍耐不住而發火生氣,不論隱忍或發火生氣都是互殘。
有些人你相處起來事倍功半,有些事你看不慣看不懂,就別勉強自己了。
費力討好的只會討到不好,
討來的好也不值得珍惜。
不要勉強自己,遠離那些讓你感覺不舒服的人,結交那些在一起舒服的朋友。
黃帝內經:怒傷肝、喜傷心、憂傷肺、思傷脾、恐傷腎。
身心健康情緒能有巨大的影響,而你的情緒好壞取決於能否跟身邊的人相處的舒服自在,是不是能一起同聲相應,同氣相求。
你好,我就好。生活好好
願你我都因好好相遇而更懂得愛- 馮云
