Kids’ health: Four steps for fighting stress

Everybody gets stressed time to time. 【小题1】 Some ways of dealing with stress —like screaming or hitting someone — don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to trusted adult such as “parent or other relatives.” 【小题2】 They might have bad similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself. 【小题3】

Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 【小题4】 Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 【小题5】

It’s been a hard year but, while we can’t change what’s happening in the world, we can focus on creating a positive atmosphere. No more negative energy.

【小题1】

Hard times are rubbish, but they make you what you are. Recognize that and know that if you can come through them and you will be more capable and more confident. It’s a lucky person indeed who manages to avoid upset as they go through life; what’s important is how you deal with it.

Count your blessings

Feeling sorry for yourself? It may sound normal, but it’s important to remind yourself of what’s good about your life. Try writing a list of the things you’re thankful for, or spend a few minutes every evening putting down three nice things that have happened to you that day.【小题2】. Patted a dog in the park? Write it down. Laughed at a silly meme (表情包) on social media? Put that on the list too.

Protect yourself from energy vampires

We all know those who suck the joy out of life and leave you feeling emotionally exhausted. They moan, blame others or just generally bring you down. 【小题3】. Gently explain the effect that they have may bring them round, or simply make sure you’re always positive yourself in order to reduce the bad effect of their negativity.【小题4】, or eventually cut ties with them entirely.

Create joy in your life

【小题5】. Make a coffee date with a friend; set aside an hour to play a board game with your family; or take a regular walk where you explore somewhere new in your locality.

How successful leaders spent their teenage years.I don’t think I have ever before been compared with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc.【小题1】But for what it is worth, I’ll give you some traits that I think are common among most of these people.ReadingRead a wide variety of books and articles that stretch your imagination. Don’t just read easy books (like Harry Potter).【小题2】Those difficult texts can really stretch your mind.Because most of the people mentioned grew up in a different era, they spent a big portion of their time just reading the encyclopedia (百科全书). Many of them would eventually read every encyclopedia volume letter. These people had a strong need to learn new things.Play-actingAt an early age, most of these people spent more time play-acting than others. Very few of these people spent their time playing organized sports---they instead were in their bedroom, backyard, or nearby park playing by themselves.【小题3】Experimenting.It is amazing how many successful people lit things on fire, blew things up, caught and studied bugs, built bird nests, and more.【小题4】And they were the ones in charge of the experiment.Creating vs. Consuming (消费)Watching wonderful movies, listening to music, etc. are all great ways to spend time.【小题5】Most of these successful people spent a large percentage of their time creating. They were building things, starting things, etc. This is really important.
