2月最后一天，大家加油！

Stress Management Good morning, everyone. Today, we'll talk about stress management. It may seem that there's nothing you can do about your stress level. The bills aren't going to stop coming, there will never be more hours in the day for all your errands, and your study will always be demanding. But you have a lot more control than you might think. In fact, the simple realization that you're in control of your life is the foundation of stress management. Managing stress is all about taking charge: taking charge of your thoughts, your emotions, your schedule, your environment, and the way you deal with problems. The ultimate goal is a balanced life. It starts with identifying the sources of stress in your life. This isn't as easy as it sounds. Your true sources of stress aren't always obvious, and it's all too easy to overlook your own stress, inducing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sure, you may know that you're constantly worried about work deadlines. But maybe it's your procrastination, rather than the actual job demands, that leads to deadline stress. Unfortunately, many people cope with stress in ways that compound the problem, such as smoking, sleeping too much, withdrawing from friends, and activities. It's time for you to find healthier ones. There are many healthy ways to manage and cope with stress, but they all require change. You can either change the situation or change your reaction. When deciding which option to choose, it's helpful to think of the four "A"s: avoid, alter, adapt, or accept. Here are some strategies to manage stress. Number 1: Avoid unnecessary stress. Learn how to say "no". Whether in your personal or professional life, refuse to accept added responsibilities when you're close to reaching them. Taking on more than you can handle is a surefire recipe for stress. Avoid people who stress you out. If someone consistently causes stress in your life and you can't turn the relationship around, limit the amount of time you spend with that person or end the relationship entirely. Take control of your environment. If the evening news makes you anxious, turn the TV off. If going to the market is an unpleasant chore, do your grocery shopping online. Pare down your to-do list. Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. If you've got too much on your plate, distinguish between the "shoulds" and the "musts." Drop tasks that aren't truly necessary to the bottom of the list or eliminate them entirely.
大家早上好。今天，我們來說說如何管理壓力。對你的壓力，也許你覺得自己無法應(yīng)對它。賬單接連而至、事情總是做不完、學(xué)習(xí)總是如此吃力。但你可以控制壓力，而且你的控制能力可能超出你的想象。事實上，僅僅意識到你是自己人生的主宰就是你應(yīng)對壓力的基礎(chǔ)。 管理壓力就是掌管壓力：掌管你的思想、情感、日程、環(huán)境以及你處理問題的方式。其最終目的是平衡生活。起先，要了解生活中壓力的來源。這并不像聽上去那么簡單。真正的壓力來源并非總是那么明顯，人們很容易忽視自身壓力，引發(fā)思想、感受和行為負擔(dān)。當然，你知道你經(jīng)常擔(dān)心工作的最后期限。但也許是你的拖延，而非實際工作要求，導(dǎo)致了你的壓力。 不幸的是，許多人應(yīng)對壓力，是通過類似吸煙、過度睡眠、遠離朋友和活動這些加重問題的方式的。是時候找尋更健康的方式了。有許多健康的方式管理和應(yīng)對壓力，但它們都需要改變。你可以改變你的境況，或改變你對壓力的應(yīng)對方式。當你決定了選擇改變，思考以下幾點對你很有幫助，即：避免、變換、調(diào)整和接受。 以下是管理壓力的策略。 第一，避免不必要的壓力。學(xué)會如何說“不”——不論在你的私人生活或職場生活中，當你接近附加責(zé)任時，拒絕接受它們。接受太多無法應(yīng)對的事情必然會加重你的壓力。 避免接觸給你施加壓力的人——如果有人在你的生活中經(jīng)常給你施加壓力，而你又不能改變這種關(guān)系，那么，減少和此人相處的時間或干脆結(jié)束你們的關(guān)系。 掌握你的環(huán)境——如果晚間新聞讓你焦慮，那就關(guān)掉電視。如果你不喜歡逛市場，那就網(wǎng)上購物。 減少你的工作安排——分析你的日程、責(zé)任和每天的任務(wù)。如果你有太多的事要做，區(qū)分“應(yīng)該做的事”和“必須做的事”。把不必要的事放到最后或干脆不做。
