Recharge (充电) Your Body's Battery
My phone is showing that little red low-battery sign. What if I didn't re charge it—no, that would stress me out. But what if I took a few minutes to recharge myself—yes, that would help. But how?
Tell yourself the truth.
When something stressful happens, we often can't help taking a deep breath at first. But we control what happens next. It's possible to work with our stress, rather than against it. Thank it and remind yourself: ""
Turn your attention to joy.
To protect energy stores, turn your attention to being present. Focus on what you can feel grateful (感激的) for. Smiling can reduce stress. Plant something in your day that you look forward to.
Work your stress out.
You might think all your feelings live in your brain. But in fact, we feel them with our whole bodies. It can change how you feel. Also, heating up and cooling down, like taking a shower, may cheer you up.
Being in crowded and busy places sends our bodies signs of danger. We can recharge our batteries with green space time—look for a park, gardens or plants to calm our bodies and minds.
Life is short. It's even shorter living on half a battery. We can break our daily stress habits and create more energy.
