tips for clearing your mind

整理大腦小技巧

Clean Your House

打掃屋子

When you can't turn off your brain, put your body to work and clean your house. While you're scrubbing the tub, imagine cleaning out your brain, removing each thought that's bothering you one at a time. By the time your house is sparkling clean, your brain will be wonderfully clear too.

如果真的控制不了大腦，不如動(dòng)起來打掃打掃屋子吧。洗刷浴缸時(shí)，想象其實(shí)你是在清洗自己的大腦，把那些煩人的思緒一個(gè)個(gè)地掃出去。屋子打掃完畢，大腦也會(huì)變得異常清晰。

Smell the Flowers

聞聞花香

Take a break and smell the flowers. Stop being so hard on yourself, and snap out of it. Sometimes simply telling yourself that you've had enough stress and anxious thoughts tricks the brain into turning off. Stay positive, give yourself a quick pep talk, and before you know it, your brain will be clear.

休息一下，聞聞花香。停止苛責(zé)自己，重新振作起來。有時(shí)可以簡單地告訴自己，壓力和焦慮已經(jīng)夠多了，大腦需要休息。保持積極的態(tài)度，跟自己來一個(gè)快速談話，不知不覺你的頭腦就清晰了。
