【推荐1】We feel angry or guilty (内疚的) about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we cannot have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions (情绪).     1     Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders.

These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself—is it possible to put down this heavy burden and give yourself a break?     2     Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down?     3    

By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief.     4     One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅).

    5    We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.

【推荐1】Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle（亚里士多德） said. “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are some pieces of advice to help you be happier.

To enjoy simple things in life is meaningful. We often spend so much time thinking about the future—getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy simple pleasures, such as reading an interesting book or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live better.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies which make you forget your worries and time. Many people experience this by dancing or playing sports, such as swimming. You can forget your worries and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness from helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, be helpful to someone. You can help a friend with his or her subjects, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help with housework.
