In social life, we cannot act alone as isolated islands. As conscious humans, we cannot eradicate our fantasies and regrets about the future and past, or completely extinguish our current distractions.

In a society with insufficient psychological resources, we either pay too much attention to others' opinions or become accustomed to procrastination and self doubt. In short, 'internal friction' parasitizes our spiritual wilderness like a worm. Unconsciously seizing the fresh oxygen that should belong to us.

I don't know when it started, but the term 'mental exhaustion' appeared in the public eye, and 'how tiring mental exhaustion is' topped the Weibo hot search list. In this era of high social pressure and fast pace of life, 'spiritual internal friction' troubles most people. So, what exactly is mental internal friction? How should we face "internal friction" and "anti internal friction"?

People need to consume psychological resources in self-control, and when resources are insufficient, they are in a state of internal consumption. Its manifestations include: being particularly concerned about others' opinions, self doubt and denial, dwelling on the past, worrying about the future, habitual procrastination and daydreaming, etc. For example, during the winter vacation, students are faced with a lot of quietly passing time, blank assignments, and the approaching start date of school, which can easily lead to self doubt about the past and worry about future homework and exams. They may even continue to procrastinate due to internal conflicts, forming a vicious cycle. It can be seen that excessive internal friction causes us to hover on the road of growth and stagnate, and its harm should not be underestimated. Therefore, we need to explore the path of "anti internal friction".

Firstly, we need to have the courage to accept ourselves in a state of internal friction. It seems that the truly powerful people have a constitution that resists internal friction. Meng Yutong, who has just graduated, is able to calmly handle rejected topics and finish last in exams on variety shows, quickly restoring her composure. This is also an important reason why she has been designated as the "successor of Gree". But as the saying goes, no one is perfect. Not everyone is perfect enough to have a natural "anti internal friction" constitution. Each of us has our own unique shining points, and we may lack some rationality and calmness when facing "internal friction". But temporary emotions will not hinder our growth. What is important is that we learn to bravely face our shortcomings and get rid of the fear of "internal friction".

Secondly, we need to break free from the shackles of negative emotions, adjust our mentality in a timely manner, and take practical actions. A strong person should not be dominated by emotions and live under the shackles of internal friction, but should grasp the power of emotional control. In the modern era shrouded in dark clouds, Lu Xun, a medical student who knew deeply that studying medicine could not save the country, did not underestimate himself and fall into internal strife, but decisively abandoned medicine and turned to literature, becoming a soldier who wrote; Deng Yaping, who is short in stature, is not favored by her coach, but she did not face her weaknesses, actively practice, and self doubt, leading to internal conflicts. Instead, she actively engaged in practice and became a generation of "ping pong queens"; Yuzuru Hanyu, who skipped a movement on the figure skating field, did not doubt himself and fell into internal friction. Instead, he prepared optimistically and eventually jumped out of the "4A" super difficult movement certified by the International Skating Federation. It's not scary to get caught up in internal friction. Adjust your mindset in a timely manner, transform negative emotions into action, and return to the journey with full health in order to defeat the "internal friction" and break out of the deep pit of "internal friction".

Finally, we do not need to absolutely oppose internal friction. The existence of 'internal friction' proves its rationality. We cannot guarantee that we will cultivate an absolute anti friction physique without any "internal friction" emotions. Even Winter Olympics star athlete Gu Ailing once said, "Fear, let me keep moving forward." Therefore, what we need to do is to rationally face internal friction, take decisive action, be the master of our own psychology and body, and strive to break out of the mental prison of "internal friction".

Facing internal friction correctly, seeking your true self in the spiritual wilderness, and experiencing the joy of spiritual freedom!
