With old people above and young children below, the burden of life makes middle-aged people breathless!
Children need to pay tuition and various training courses; elderly parents need to spend money on medical treatment; and they have to pay mortgages every month. Looking at the continuous decline in wages in the past two years, it is really suffocating!
The body is no longer young, and it is not flat or rolled up. Many middle-aged people have lost themselves, and even can no longer find any meaning of life except responsibilities and obligations.
Only in daily running can I find myself, find myself, and have a moment of freedom.
As a middle-aged person, I often feel that my running is “saving lives”, saving lost health, and saving lost self!
Running: saving emotions that are on the verge of losing control!
Why did Ms. Zhang, 44 years old this year, start running?
Ms. Zhang said: To release emotions, otherwise life will make me suffer from depression!
Ms. Zhang’s son is in high school, and he is not doing well in his studies. He is in the rebellious period of adolescence. If you say something to him, he will say three things back, which makes Ms. Zhang very angry every day.
Some time ago, his father in his hometown had a sudden cerebral infarction, and he was paralyzed and could not take care of himself. His mother was in poor health and took medicine all year round, and she could not take care of her sick father.
Ms. Zhang took her sick father to her home, taking care of him while tutoring this annoying son.
This pace of life made Sister Zhang’s emotions hover on the edge of “going crazy” every day. She had no one to talk to, and she could not escape, so she could only bite the bullet and endure it.
Ms. Zhang said: “The happiest time of the day is the one-hour run in the morning.
When running, I can relieve my emotions, temporarily forget the troubles of life, and find inner peace.
Running is like pressing the pause button on life, allowing me to focus all my attention on running, giving us time to think, feel, and release.
Every time I come back from running, sweating profusely, the manic, depressed, and anxious emotions disappear!”
Running: Save lost health
Middle-aged people have more and more health problems as they age. Hypertension, diabetes, heart disease…
These diseases are like time bombs that may explode at any time.
Many middle-aged people start running because they realize the importance of health. They use running to enhance cardiopulmonary function, lower blood pressure, control blood sugar, and prevent heart disease… They use running to save the health that is gradually lost.
When a middle-aged person integrates running into life, it will inject new vitality into life, stay away from the troubles of many chronic diseases, and let the middle-aged people be reborn.
In a sense, middle-aged people running is “saving lives”.
Running: Save the lost self
Middle-aged people often lose themselves in their busy lives.
They are busy with work, family, and various challenges, but ignore their own existence.
50-year-old Mr. Zhou said: “My own time is not my own. My life now is for my children, parents, and family. I am working hard.
Every day, all kinds of tedious things fill my life. I often feel that there is no meaning in living. I am like a spinning top every day. In addition to work, I do housework.
Since running, my heart has slowly calmed down. I feel that this moment is my own. Although it is difficult for middle-aged people to get involved with freedom, I feel that I am free when running.”
