Two people in one house, three meals, and four seasons; children and grandchildren reunited during the holidays. In imagination, the life of the elderly is lively and lively, but as time goes by, if someone in the couple takes the first step, the children will also be busy.

From the perspective of the old man himself, if he gets too close to his children, life will inevitably be chaotic. Therefore, the elderly living alone is a reality that cannot be completely avoided.

How to turn the days of living alone into days of enjoying solitude, you have to start with daily habits. Learn from the wisdom of cats. Being alone is a person’s joy, transparency, and joy.

01. Keep the house clean whether there are guests or not.

When cats are alone, they will find a clean place to sleep or meditate. Use your tongue to lick your hair calmly.

That is, in a place where no one can see after the cat excretes, it will cover the excrement with soil. Even stray cats are much cleaner than stray dogs.

Many stray cats are fed by people because of their good looks, and they are still doing well in the community. Look at some elderly people who live alone. They think that no one sees their living conditions, so they become lazy.

Occasionally, relatives come to visit, and the old man’s room is also dirty and even smells very strong. Intimidating.

Keeping clean is not for others to see, but to improve one’s own quality of life.

The food is clean, tastes more delicious, and feels more secure. During the process of washing vegetables and washing rice, you can also feel the smoke and smoke of three meals a day.

Clothes are clean and comfortable to wear, and give everyone the impression that life is more decent. Cleaning the house frequently can consume a lot of time and give you a better living space.

Sit down and watch TV or look at your mobile phone, and you will feel a happy sense of laziness. The bright and clean appearance of the windows will give a good impression to people in the community or village so that people will come to your home to sit and sit.

Organizing organizing one’s life history gives the soul more motivation for life.

“The high hall has plain walls, so there is no need to relax and unwind; the bright windows are clear, so you can sit and lie comfortably.”

When you live a clean life, you become quiet, don’t feel tired, and you look noble when you are alone. A clean old man, just like a word: “outstanding.”

02. Whether you have someone to accompany you or not, go out for a walk.

Look at a cat, you can’t trap it. If you lock a cat up, it will climb over the fence and go for a walk in nature.

A bamboo pole or a small tree is a ladder for cats to slip out of the house. Of course, cats don’t live in cages.

Only birds enjoy comfort in a cage. Many old people live alone and don’t go out all day long. If outsiders don’t pay attention, they would think that no one lives in a certain room at all.

Perhaps, to have a larger living space, the elderly moved from a room of tens of square meters to a large house of several hundred square meters or a place with a yard.

But moving around is just a bigger “cage”, and there is essentially no difference. You still have to go out and get some air before you can accept the baptism of nature.

Old people in rural areas go to the vegetable garden alone. People in the green vegetable field are also a scenery in the vegetable field. Some old people go for a walk on the field ridges and can discover the changes in the four seasons throughout the year.

When the seedlings grow taller, it is summer; when the rice is ripe, it is autumn. Smell the fragrance of rice flowers, it is a very pleasant day. This is a feeling that cannot be found in the house.

Even in the city, the elderly can go for a walk in the park and see the children in the park, which will make them lively and energetic. Watching a group of girls live broadcast in the park, you can accept the spring of the Internet.

Some middle-aged parents play with their children. If you feel it, it is also a blessing — be happy. Of course, when you go out, remember to bring your mobile phone with you and make sure it is fully charged. Say hello to acquaintances you meet.

This way you won’t get lost and can contact your descendants at any time if you encounter problems. If you are interested, you can take pictures and keep the beautiful scenery.

Don’t think that if you can’t walk alone, you will be alone. As long as you integrate into nature, then you will be embraced by nature.

03. No matter who your neighbors are, learn to be kind to them.

a foodie has written a lot about cats.

“A cat will repay kindness. If you treat it well, it will hold a mouse or bird in its mouth in return. Cats are the cutest and can charm you to death.”

Apart from catching mice and climbing trees, cats will only show their claws when they encounter danger. They usually keep their claws when walking.

Therefore, it can be embraced. Yes, cats are always lovable, even if they are squatting at a stranger’s door, they will not be disliked.

If a strange dog squats at the door, people will be startled, fearing that it is a mad dog or a wild dog. After all, dogs are ferocious and their bestial nature is hard to change.

An old man who lives alone should be as docile and lovable as a cat. Look at those kinds of old people. When they live alone, they will be invited by their neighbors to eat together and go for a walk in the community.

Some kind-hearted people help the elderly in times when they see that they are in trouble. Elderly people who live alone for a long time can get a lot of care when they meet kind-hearted neighbors. But whether the elderly receive care depends on whether they are kind.

No matter who your neighbor is, it’s always right to say hello, check in on the kids, and initiate small talk.

Don’t act cold and cold, and don’t look at your neighbors, they are all thieves.

Remember, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If an old man lives alone, is kind to others, and often helps those in need, then he will be rewarded with good things in his old age.

04. This is a good era, but we have to adapt.

Biologist Darwin said: “The fittest survive and the fittest perish.”

When we go from being together as a couple and getting along with family to living alone, we must change ourselves in time.

Don’t live a sloppy life just because you’re alone, or because you don’t like anyone.

A person is also a family. How can one not love his own home?

A human being is like a cat, quiet and clean. When it’s cold, he adds clothes for himself, and when he’s warm, he shares it with others. Live well and don’t waste the rest of your life.
