We don’t always eat just to satisfy physical hunger. 【小题1】 And when we do, we tend to reach for junk food, sweets, and other comforting but unhealthy foods. You might reach for a pot of ice cream or order a pizza if you’re bored or lonely.

Occasionally using food as a reward or to celebrate isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But when eating is your primary way of dealing with emotional problems, you can get stuck in an unhealthy emotional eating cycle.

Emotional eating is using food to make yourself feel better- to fill emotional needs, rather than your stomach. Actually, emotional eating doesn’t fix emotional problems. 【小题2】 Afterward, not only does the original emotional issue remain, but you also feel guilty for overeating.

【小题3】 Eating may feel good in the moment. The feelings that led to the eating are still there. And you often feel worse than before because of the unnecessary calories. No matter how powerless you feel over food, it is possible to make a positive change. You can learn healthier ways to deal with your emotions. 【小题4】

The first step is finding out what leads you to emotional eating. What situations, places, or feelings make you reach for the comfort of food? Most emotional eating is linked to unpleasant feelings, but it can also be caused by positive emotions, such as rewarding yourself for achieving a goal. Whatever the reason, you have to find other ways to fulfill yourself emotionally. 【小题5】 If you’re exhausted, treat yourself with a hot cup of tea, take a bath, or wrap yourself in a warm blanket. Things like these may help a lot.

Travelling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, but what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful tips.

Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses(花费) to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.

Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings.

Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see.

Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants

Plan sensibly. Write down how much you expect to spend on food and hotels. Stick to(坚持) your plan, or you may not have enough money to cover everything.

Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.

Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip. Look for work in places you visit.

Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink about your trip and go to a less known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities(活动) and sights.

Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember to take along medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.

By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy their travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

Bad thoughts can trouble you for days, weeks, or months. While you should always seek help if you constantly suffer from bad thoughts, you can work through them on your own in many cases.

【小题1】 This is possibly the easiest way to start addressing your problems. Too often you believe you are the only one with problems, or that no one understands what you are going through. But bad thoughts are part of life and, most importantly, they will go away.

Think about what makes the thought “bad”. Why are you upset about it? 【小题2】 Bad thoughts exist because you feel ashamed, angry, or unsure, so thinking about why you are caught on the same thought can help address the problem.

【小题3】 Getting your bad thoughts into the open is a great way to work through what makes them so bad. It helps you realize that the thought is not as bad as it seemed. 【小题4】 Simply telling your thoughts in a comfortable setting may be enough to remove them.

Literally “throw your problem away”. This may sound strange and unusual, but people who write down their bad thoughts and throw the paper away have a better self-image than people who keep the paper. By doing this, you can tell your body that it is time to move on. 【小题5】
