Even if children and grandchildren are full, there are still many old people who feel lonely at home. Because, in most cases, grandchildren (daughters) go to school, and sons or daughters also run around for work. Basically, the elderly are alone at home, and when they are alone in an empty home, they naturally feel lonely. So what about the loneliness of the old man? Next, Taigu will share with you nine wonderful measures to alleviate the loneliness of the elderly. What are the reasons why the elderly are lonely? 1. Retired people retire at home and do nothing. The gap in life makes the elderly feel lost and empty, unwilling to go out, unwilling to deal with people, and feel lonely inside. 2. Left-behind elderly people in rural areas The left-behind elderly people in rural areas have to do farm work, housework and grandchildren, which is very stressful. No one talks about difficulties, no one takes care of illness, and often feels lonely and helpless. Figure 3.

Seeing others as busy as a bee, I will be upset and feel lonely. Boredom is getting old, and the body and mind are changing. You can't do big things, and you don't have to do small things. All day, they are in the cycle of "eating, sleeping and sitting". In this way, day after day, there will be boring emotions psychologically, and life will be dull. Figure 3 Some old people are suspicious and confused, and their thoughts become ignorant. They often feel that they can't do anything for their families anymore. They think that they are the burden and burden of children and the "living harm" of "three satiations and one fall". They think that life is a kind of torture, a kind of suffering, which leads to pessimistic and disappointed thoughts. 4 The feeling of the end of the evening Some elderly people think that they are approaching the end of their lives, just as it is getting dark, thus creating a sense of melancholy. Some elderly people are influenced by fatalism, such as "seventy-three, eighty-four, the prince didn't invite himself", instead of singing the song of spring, they played the song of the evening, and their body and mind were in a desperate situation. What should the elderly do if they are lonely? 1. Insist on moderate exercise every day. I must keep exercising for about an hour every day. Walking together is simple and easy, and the effect is good. Exercise can also improve mental health, regulate positive emotions and eliminate mental stress and loneliness.

They can get in touch with the outside world through travel and broaden their minds and horizons. Getting out of the narrow and monotonous life increases the interest, which is naturally beneficial to physical and mental health and can also stimulate the vigorous energy of the elderly. Old people often travel with their families and like-minded relatives and friends, and they can make many new friends during their travels. Spending good time with old friends and new friends can make the elderly feel more comfortable and help to eliminate their lonely personality. Figure 3.

Outside, you should put down your airs, treat others equally, make friends with ordinary people, feel warm and pass on happiness. 4. Cultivate hobbies, such as reading, writing, calligraphy, painting, photography, playing the piano, singing, dancing, boxing, playing chess, growing flowers, vegetables, fishing, handcrafting and keeping pets ... Everything has inexhaustible knowledge and skills, which can open a window for you and let you see a colorful world. You can choose one or two and get involved.

After retirement, the elderly can continue to learn new knowledge, read books and newspapers, and care about state affairs. Conditional can join the university for the aged, enrich life, delay brain aging and prevent the occurrence of dementia. In the process of continuous learning, the elderly not only improve their self-worth, but also solve their loneliness in learning. Through learning, we can also strengthen the connection between the elderly and society and enhance their own sense of social value. 6. Dare to meet strangers. When the elderly move to a strange environment, they should face the reality, boldly go out of their homes, actively communicate with others, care more about helping others, establish new contacts and integrate into the new environment as soon as possible. Make more friends in all aspects, especially those who forget to celebrate the New Year. There must be some close friends or sisters. Appreciate and praise others more, learn from others' strengths to make up for their shortcomings, and constantly improve their own quality. Learning to open your heart and communicate with friends more will help to relieve your depression. Figure 7. Making friends with widowed or divorced elderly people, if you can find your favorite partner, reorganize your family and let love nourish your soul, is also a good way to solve loneliness. However, remarriage must be considered carefully and carefully to avoid being hurt again. For the elderly, remarriage can not only take care of and support each other in life, but also communicate and comfort each other in spirit, so that they can achieve psychological balance and spiritual relaxation. It can make people spend their happy old age happily and enjoy the last stage of life. 8. Learn to appreciate yourself. Many retired people will have a negative idea that they are too old to do anything and have been eliminated by society. Actually, this is not right. Old people should learn to appreciate themselves. We are old, not incompetent or useless. When we were young, we had made due contributions to our family and society. Even if you are old, you are no longer productive. As long as you are alive, you must make contributions to your family and society. Don't feel inferior, don't be depressed, see your strengths and advantages, live a happy life with confidence, and face life with a smile. Don't be too frugal, enjoy yourself, dress yourself up carefully, wear fashionable clothes, and participate in various social activities gracefully. 9. Children should always talk to the elderly. The old man is at home all day, with a small range of activities and is old and weak. Coupled with worrying about children and missing old friends, my heart is often not calm. These mental distress, boredom and anxiety need to be vented and told to people. If the younger generation can find time to chat with the old people often, it will not only satisfy the psychology of the old people, but also help the family atmosphere to be harmonious.
