leave?What does this have to do with good days?The sign of a good life should be some cuddling, isn't the more cuddling the better?How can I lose it?Lost is a distressing and regrettable thing! And please think about it. A good life requires a certain foundation.Such as food and clothing, such as health, such as family affection...but not the more you have, How about better days?Not always. You can't live without nothing.But after the problem of food and clothing is basically solved, the worries that people encounter are often caused by having too much and enjoying too much.For example, the problem of obesity, the problem of "debt of favor", such as the problem of "air-conditioning disease" ... and even sitting on the sofa "cooking porridge on TV", holding the extremely convenient remote control, facing the screen and clicking back and forth. None of the ten channels are good-looking and it is difficult to give up, so a huge resentment grows in my chest...

Therefore, for the social groups that have entered a well-off society, those who are good at losing are the ones who can live. Throw away unrealistic fantasies of getting rich and be satisfied with the status quo of living without fear of food and clothing; throw away the yearning for fame and vanity, love the real and simple self; throw away jealousy, and build a heart of tolerance.In short, carry out regular mental cleaning, throw away all kinds of distracting thoughts about gains and losses, so that there will always be enough sunshine in the heart, shining on a piece of basically clear water.

Throw away redundant business cards, make fewer boring phone calls, politely decline certain social activities, strictly reject out-of-the-box dinners and card games, simplify interpersonal relationships, dilute thoughts of interests, cut off curiosity about other people's privacy, do not participate in street crowds, even if you are Love relatives and friends, and don't blindly rely on thoughts and emotions. Get rid of the clutter in your home.Throw away useless or even harmful printed matter.Throw away the rotten tapes and rotten discs.Throw away expired medicines.Ditch the useless crate wrappers.Get rid of certain vulgar trinkets (which often come from perfunctory gifts of courtesy) .

It can be especially difficult to get rid of some things, such as fat that is becoming more and more dangerous to your health, but you have to make up your mind to get rid of it. In some respects, it is not necessary to lose the thing but to lose the bad habit.For example, facing the TV, you have to get rid of the bad habit of using the remote control to switch channels endlessly; in front of the computer, you also have to get rid of the madness of diving into the chat room after roaming the Internet and wishing you would never come out again. Abandon the complicated and trivial, embrace simplicity and simplicity, and learn to live a simple life.A good life is all created by ourselves. It is not easy to obtain the necessary things, but it is even more difficult to throw away the necessary things.Who doesn't want to have such a good day if he can grasp both acquisition and disposal just right?
