Today’s key word is Stress
Stress 壓力
If you feel under stress, you feel worried and tense(緊張)because of difficulties(困難) in your life.
Here is an example:
Are you suffering from an excess of stress in your life?
你生活中的壓力太大了嗎?
1. Remember to breathe
Is there any simpler way to relax? Slow, deep breaths can help lower blood pressure(血壓) and heart rate(心率). 來大家跟我一起深呼吸
2. Close Your Eyes
閉上雙眼James Taylor said it: You can close your eyes, it’s all right. Take a quick break by just lowering your eyelids(眼皮). It’s an easy way to regain calm and focus.大家可以閉上眼睛聽英語悠選哦。
3. Sip Green Tea
一杯暖暖的綠茶Instead of turning purple(紫色) with rage(憤怒), get green with a cup of herbal tea(草本茶). Boil the water, pour it out, and take a soothing sip(小口的喝)。
4.Get some Chocolate
吃一點黑巧克力Just a square of the sweet stuff can calm your nerves(神經). 黑巧克力dark chocolate可以控制讓你壓力上升的激素皮質醇的水平。
5. Give yourself a hand massage
給自己做一個手部按摩。When there is no professional massagers in sight, try DIY a hand massage for instant relaxation that calms a pounding heart. Massage can be especially helpful for people who spend a lot of time typing on a keyboard. 涂上你喜歡的護手霜,然后慢慢地按摩手掌,特別是按摩大拇指下面的肌肉。
6. Write It Down
沒人可以傾訴的時候,把壓力寫下來也不錯。“Dear Diary: Today I feel STRESSED.” Just putting our emotions on paper can make them seem less intimidating(恐怖).
7. Listen to Your Favorite Song or show
聽聽你最喜歡的歌曲或者節目Beyonce, Bruno Mars, or John Legend, sometimes belting out(大聲播放) the lyrics to a favorite tune makes everything seem all right. 或者聽聽悠選的節目也不錯哦。
8. Nose Full of Coffee
聞一聞咖啡的香味Wake up and smell the latte(拿鐵). Just the odor(氣味) of coffee can help reduce stress hormones—no sipping required. (Just be sure not to burn the tip of your nose.)
9 Stretch
簡單的做一下伸展 拉伸運動Standing up for a quick stretch can relieve muscle tension(肌肉緊張) and help us relax during a stressful workday.Why not try a shoulder roll-out or a chest-opening stretch right from the desk chair?
10. Talk to a Friend
When something’s really bothering you, it can help to share your feelings with a pal.In fact, more talkative folks tend to be happier in general.
