“I’ll share whatever. Let’s talk about it.”

Pro-golfer (职业高尔夫球员), Bubba Watson, is lifting the veil (掀开面纱) on his own mental health struggles with hopes of _______fans there is always a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to _______.

Watson shares his _______with anxiety in a new book, Up and Down, which talks about his significant weight loss _______an overly-stressed, racing mind. His weight loss was something the public mistook as a _______health change.

“People would say, ‘Oh, you look great.’” said Watson. “I wouldn’t say anything, but I’d _______to say, ‘No, there’s something going on. I don’t want to look this way.’”

“Golf was _______me,” he writes in his book, Up and Down: Victories and Struggles in the Course of Life.

As Watson sought help and worked to identify his problems, he felt more _______as he reduced emotional weight, causing him to get back physical weight — a(n) _______for the 42-year-old.

“When the _______started coming back, I thought I needed to tell the world where I’m at,” Watson said. “It was a _______to me.”

According to Watson, if he reaches just one person with his _______, it’s all worth it. “For me, personally, I want to share,” said Watson. “With my _______, I felt like if I could _______one person, if I could change one person and what or how they are thinking, maybe I could _______a few more people.”

Studies have shown that when people’s mental health improves, they’re more likely to _________ in their relationships and careers — and adopt healthier habits. People become more productive, find meaning in everyday experiences and are more equipped to cope with changes and obstacles when they feel mentally well. Here are four New Year’s resolutions experts expect people to make _________ mental health.

Reflect on whether you’d like to continue with the same online habits in 2024, says Nedra Glover Tawwab, a therapist. “Do you want to set some _________ for yourself? Are there people you need to _________?” “For example, you might limit yourself to 15 minutes on social media per day, delete the most _________ apps from your phone during the workweek, or challenge yourself not to check social media when you’re feeling gloomy.

“Make new friends, but keep the old” is an adage (格言) for a reason. Loneliness affects physical and mental health while _________ social bonds are a slave. Resolve to reach out to “one person you lost touch with who used to be _________ to you,” Winch says. He recommends opening with a text like this: “I was thinking about you. It’s been so long. How are you?” _________ the message with a smiley face, he adds. “That’s important because when you say, ‘It’s been so long’, it can sound accusing.” A smiley face, Winch says, can ensure the _______ meaning — “I miss you” — comes across.

The “core four” help guard against life’s stressors. First, do something __________, like attending a football game or belting out a Taylor Swift album. Having fun “__________ the stress by helping you accumulate more positive events than negative ones,” says Calvin Fitch, a clinical health psychologist. Then check off a “mastery activity”, like cleaning or running errands. Also important are being __________— a sense of belonging facilitates better health — and doing physical activities that get your heart rate going.

If you’re __________ about the state of the planet — and more of us are — worrying won’t help. Instead, take a cue from Winch’s family: each year, they decide to do one thing to __________ their climate anxiety, like eliminating plastic bags, composting food scraps, or walking 15 minutes to nearby destinations instead of driving. “It’s overwhelming — I feel like I can’t get my arms around it,” he says. “But doing one small thing is a way of feeling like you’re __________ your goal.”

There’s a lot that can be conveyed in a handshake. Throughout history, such a(n) _______ was used to complete a business deal,_______ friendship, or signal trust.

But touching strangers can also lead to other, less beneficial shared_______ – like disease outbreaks. As fears about COVID-19 increase, France has warned its citizens to_______ handshakes. However, with histories dating back thousands of years, the greeting is likely too_______ established to be so easily stopped

A popular theory about the handshake’s_______ is that it began as a gesture of _________. Grasping hands proved you were not holding a weapon – and _________   them was a way to ensure your partner had nothing hiding up their sleeve.

There may be a_______ explanation for its lasting power. In a 2015 study, researchers in Israel filmed handshakes between hundreds of strangers and found nearly a quarter of participants________ their hands unconsciously afterwards.________, they concluded that a handshake may be used to detect chemical signals, and possibly as a means of________ – just as other animals do by smelling each other.

Behavioral scientist Val Curtis in London says that one possible________ for the handshake as greeting is to imply that the other person is __________   enough to share germs (细菌) with. Because of this, the________ can go in and out of style depending on public health concerns.
