1 . Emotions play a crucial role in people’s lives. Being in tune with your emotions is a great thing, and it can lead to deeper connections. Nevertheless, when your emotions control you, they can seriously affect your ability to perform and to think clearly in crucial situations. You can’t get rid of your emotions completely.     1    

What does your body feel like right now? Pay attention to the feeling of the clothes on your skin, and try to ignore any thoughts that you’re having.     2    . Then you can find inner peace.     3    

If you feel yourself starting to get upset or angry, head to the bathroom and look in the mirror for a few minutes. As you do, focus on taking deep breaths and think about increasing yourself-compassion. After 2 to 3 minutes, you’ll probably feel your heart rate slowdown and your breathing get a little more even. It’s a good tool to use at work or out in pubic when things get a little overwhelming.

Do something engaging that will keep your mind off your emotions.     4    . For example, do a puzzle, read a new book, try a word search, or do some art. The more you can keep your mind off things, the less you’ll focus on your emotions.

    5    . If you’re an empathetic person, listening to your friends or family members tell their issues will take a toll on you. It’s great to care about other people, but it’s also okay to set boundaries if you need to take some time for yourself.

2 . We’re all human, and we know there are some days when we feel good and others when we get down in the dumps. But knowing how to keep things steady, or at least more positive than negative, is a smart move for your health, both mental and physical.     1    “Mood (情绪) awareness is a necessary part of keeping good mental health. It doesn’t mean you should feel positive all the time.     2     Instead, try to be aware of what your mood is, what events or environments can start it, and learn ways to find balance,” explains Himali Pandya, chief strategy and development officer at People USA, a mental health crisis prevention center.

At the first step, you’re supposed to try mood tracking.     3     Use one method per week, then think about which seemed to work best for you and consider building it into your routine going forward.

·Daily Journaling

Just let it flow! Each day, write down how you felt when you woke up in the morning, at midday, and in the evening.     4     It may also be helpful to write down anything that contributed to a change in your mood throughout the day. This is a great wellness activity that can help you process daily experiences.

·Mood Chart

This is similar to journaling, but it offers a bit more structure that can help show any patterns that seem to influence your mood.     5     And then draw columns (柱状图) for day of the week, mood, and mood-changing factors. Make it fun by using colored pens or emoji stickers for tracking.
