Are you feeling empty? If so, you are not alone. Actually, it’s a common occurrence for many of us to feel empty in various ways. For instance, you might feel empty as something is missing in your life. Or the emptiness might stem from slowly abandoning yourselves, and not listening to your own hopes and desires. Abandoning yourselves can also spark anxiety, depression, guilt and shame.     1     Here are several suggestions to help you out.   

Acknowledge the emptiness. If you’re experiencing emptiness that’s more like a gaping hole, acknowledge it, and be gentle with yourself.     2     If this emptiness is because of a loved one’s passing, don’t get angry with yourself for grieving years later. In that case you learn to live life alongside that hole of missing that person.

Explore your feelings of emptiness. Scientists suggested exploring the below questions. We can do this while keeping a journal, taking a walk or drinking a cup of tea.

*Do I tell myself positive things?

*What am I trying to prove or win?

    3    

*Am I blaming myself for things that are out of my control?

    4     Fight the urge to turn to the outside world for fulfillment. Instead of trying to fill the emptiness with drugs, alcohol, TV, computer games or anything else, look within, and spend time with yourself. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but the more you practise devoting time and energy to yourself and caring for yourself, the less present those empty feelings will be.

    5     Whether you are experiencing difficult relationships, losses, or feeling a lack of purpose or meaning, you are worthy of a fulfilling and meaningful life.

A.Control your current feelings.
B.Spend time with yourself every day.
C.How do you handle your emptiness?
D.Don’t beat yourself up for feeling this way.
E.Have I been judging myself or comparing myself to others?
F.It’s important to acknowledge and accept your feelings of emptiness.
G.Do you spend too much time on filling your emptiness?

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。主要说明了Bruce通过一个团队游戏解决了他的团队个人出色,但缺乏团队合作精神的问题。

【推荐1】Bruce is a manager who had a team of around 40 people. Most of them were bright, enthusiastic, and hardworking young people.     1     Individually, everyone on the team is excellent. But as a team, they are not good, which is crucial for the organization.

    2     He invited everyone to a hall for a game consisting of 3 rounds. For the first round, he told everyone to blow a balloon kept on the table and then write their name on it without bursting it. All the team members blew the balloon and wrote their name on it.     3     After some time, he called them back to the room. Now there were more balloons scattered(分散的)around without names on them. He told that they had 15 minutes to find the balloon with their name written on it. After 15 minutes, he stopped the round as no one got their balloons.

For the next round, Bruce told them if any team member found a balloon with a name on it, he or she had to give the balloon to the person whose name was on it. Everyone started searching, and within a couple of minutes, everyone had their own balloon with their name on it. Bruce went to the platform and said, “You see, in the second round, no one was able to find their balloons as we were working on individual targets. But in the final round, within a couple of minutes, everyone had their balloon with them.     4    

Most of the time, people hide information, avoid cooperation, and distance themselves from their team members.     5     And in the long run, it also affects the individual. So, everyone in the team should share and care with team members for team success. We should communicate, share and work effectively for greater ambition for the team.

B.This helps to promote their independence.
C.That’s the power of teamwork and sharing.
D.So he considered taking his group on a trip.
E.This kind of mindset forms obstacles for team growth.
F.Then he told everyone to wait outside for the next round.
G.Bruce then decided to solve this issue by planning a team activity.
