A little worrying now and then can be self-protective.

3. Share your worries with a friend
Don’t be embarrassed.

【推荐1】Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary. It is the most common type but usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation, such as, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is chronic (the opposite of “temporary”). Being the most severe, it usually lasts for more than two years and is often connected with serious illnesses.
An important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts. Through social contacts, we get emotional support and guidance from our parents and teachers and share similar interests and activities with our friends. However, some lonely people almost make no contacts with people around them and feel apart from those who they supposedly know well. They just see themselves as outsiders. On the other hand, some lonely people may have enough social contacts, but they rarely enjoy the contacts and question their popularity, thinking of themselves as someone powerless. So loneliness is closely related to the quality of those social relationship in addition to the quantity.
Loneliness is tough, but something can be done to cope with it. First, take time to accept that you are suffering from loneliness. Then, contact your old friends or visit relatives to spend quality time with others. Besides, pick up a hobby to reduce your feelings of loneliness, such as taking up needle work, joining craft classes, or attending lectures. You can also beat loneliness by volunteering at a nursing home, hospital, church or pet rescue organization. This not only helps you get in touch with people from all walks of life, but also makes you feel good about yourself. In a word, if you take a correct attitude towards loneliness and get involved with people around you, you are sure to get over it.

【推荐3】In the early 1990s, my friend Jay was working for IBM and made a good salary.Later, Jay declined an offer from an interesting but small organization because of the low pay.He has regretted it ever since.That small company was Microsoft.
Regret is a reaction to a disappointing event in your life, such as a choice you made that can't be changed, or something you said that you can't take back.It's a heavy and negative emotion connected to pity, sorrow and helplessness and can last for minutes, days, years or even a lifetime.Regret can increase your stress and throw off the balance of immune (免疫) systems.
Fortunately, regret can be overcome through interventions.As a psychologist at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, I conducted a research on stressful emotions.In the research, we found people would experience regret for action or inaction.The action-related regrets, although painful, stimulate people to learn from their mistakes and move on.But the regret related to the inaction is more likely to lead to depression and anxiety.Avoiding or denying regret only can increase negative feelings and extend the time people suffer with them.Rather than stay stuck, people can manage these emotions in four steps:First, accept the fact that you are feeling them; determine why you are feeling them; allow yourself to learn from them; and finally, release them and move forward.
In Jay's case, at first he pushed away his feelings of regret.He continued to struggle with thoughts of what he missed.He did not change until he approached and explored his feelings of regret.Eventually he accepted the fact and reminded himself of his rationale at the time- he failed to recognize the potential of Microsoft.On making future decisions,Jay recognized the importance of obtaining information about opportunities and challenged himself to learn about the big players in the field.Doing so allowed him to move on and ultimately forgive himself.
