【推荐1】When scrolling through TikTok, I often come across videos suggesting products to improve my self-care routine.
Appreciate the outdoors
It is easy to feel uninspired if you spend most of your time in a small bedroom or dorm. Be intentional about spending time outdoors by going on a walk or having a picnic.
Practice regular gratitude and forgiveness
When I am intentional about being thankful for the small things in life, I have much more energy to handle the more difficult parts of my day. Giving grace to the people around me also helps me become a better person.
While it may seem obvious, I find it essential to participate in activities that energize me, as so much of my day as a student can feel stressful. If going to class is something that makes you really anxious, be sure to set aside some time to do a sport or create art in a way that makes you feel inspired or at peace.

【推荐2】People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.
After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem : he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.

【推荐3】Although holidays only lasts a few days each year, many of us spend months planning for it. But as enjoyable as all the parties and festivities might be, many people find they feel a bit burnt-out once the holidays have come and gone.
Many of us are exposed to various stressors over a very short period of time throughout the holiday season-whether it’s queuing for presents, sitting in traffic on the way to visit friends or family, or even worrying about money. As soon as your brain senses a stressor, it stirs your sympatheticnervous system (交感神经系统). When the sympathetic nervous system is activated, the body produces adrenaline (肾上腺素) and begins working harder.
One way to reduce the negative impact of stress is to experience positive emotions. Recalling can help you get a new view on your experiences, which helps you see your life in a more balanced way.
| A．While holidays are a time of joy |
| B．The second way is to imagine positive events |
| C．The other way is to get a good night’s sleep |
| D．Recall good times using reminders such as photographs |
| E．Although holidays can certainly be a stressful time for many of us |
| F．This feeling has even been termed “festive burnout” or “holiday burnout” |
| G．You may experience these changes like feeling more sweaty or having a pounding chest |
【推荐1】In a new study, researchers analyzed information from more than 18 ,000 people who provided blood samples.Participants reported whether they exercised regularly，and if 80, what type of exercises they typically did. The researchers hen scanned participants' blood, looking for genes(基因) that are tied to an increased risk of obesity(肥胖). Next, the researchers examined whether certain exercises seemed to balance this risk.
Overall, people who reported doing any type of regular exercises tended to have a lower BMI(体重指数) than those who didn't. This was true even among people who were genetically easy to become overweight. But one exercise stood out as the one with the strongest anti-obesity effcet: jogging. Partitipants with obesity genes who jogged tended to have a lower BMI than people with similar genetic risk who did not jog.
But for those who loathe jogging, fear not: Five other types of exercises were also tied to a lower BMI among individuals at risk for obesity. These included mountain climbing, balloo dancing and walking. The benefits of these exercises were the biggest among those with the greatest genetie risk of obesity.
Interestingly,several other types of exercises failed to counteract the genetic risk of obesity. These included cycling,stretching exercises and swimming. The findings don't mean that these latter exercises can't help with weight control. It's just that they didn't seem to counteract the genetic tendency to gain weight.
There could be several reasons for this. The researchers noted that, for the average Joe or Jane, cylcing and stretching exercises tend to require less energy than the exercises that were tied to a lower obesity risk. In addition, exercising in water, as happens with swimming, may increase appetite.

【推荐3】It’s not just in your head: a desire to curl up on the sofa after a day spent toiling at the computer could be a physical response to mentally demanding work, according to a study that links mental exhaustion to changes in brain physiology that cause feelings of tiredness.
The study was conducted by neuroscientist Antonius Wiehler at the Paris Brain Institute and his colleagues. To learn the cause of mental exhaustion, the research team chose 40 participants and assigned 24 of them to perform a challenging task.
These included looking at a computer screen and matching different letters that appeared. The other 16 participants did a similar, but easier task. Both teams worked for six hours, and had two ten-minute breaks.
While the study participants focused on their work, Wiehler and his team scanned the glutamate (谷氨酸) in the brains of the participants. Glutamate is an important signaling molecule (分子) in the brain that works in memory and learning.
Too much glutamate may upset the brain’s functions, which means the brain is tired and it must rest.
The researchers found that participants who laboured on the more difficult task had higher levels of glutamate in the brain than those who worked on the easier task.
The result suggested people who spend more than six hours working on a task that requires a lot of thought are more likely to feel tired.
And now that a system has been established to measure metabolic (新陈代谢的) changes in response to mental tiredness, the team hope to learn more about how to recover from mental exhaustion. While the researchers haven’t worked out a new solution, Wiehler offers that, “I would employ good old recipes: rest and sleep!
There is good evidence that glutamate is removed from a period of rest. A good nap can be as short as 20 minutes, but can make us feel totally refreshed.”
