7种简单的减压方式

Learn To Be Positive: Research has shown that people who are more positive experience less stress.  As suggested in classes on Positive Psychology, each night write three things for which you’re grateful.  These should be small things like you found a quarter, you didn’t have to look long for a parking spot, and the line at the supermarket was short.  The more small things you see that are positive, the more positive you’ll see.
学习乐观：研究已经表明，比较乐观的人压力较少。正如积极心理学上所表明的，每晚写出你要感谢的三件事。这些可以是一些小事，如你找到25美分，不用太久就找到停车位，和超市的队伍很短。越多你看起来乐观的小事，你就会越乐观。

Make Time For Friends: Social support is one of the best buffers for stress.  Friends are especially important for women’s health.  And if your time together consists of some laughs, even better since humor is a wonderful stress-buster.
腾出时间给朋友：社会支持是压力的最好缓冲器之一。朋友对于女性的健康尤其重要。如果你们在一起的时光充满着笑声，甚至更大型的，因为幽默是减压的极好方法。

Manage Your Thinking: Become aware of your thoughts.  If they’re negative and self-critical, learn to do thought-stopping as negativity will only make you more stressed out.  Also learn to reframe a situation; that is, look at a situation in a different way so that it doesn’t bother you as much.
控制你的想法：注意你的想法。如果你消极，自我批评，学习思维停顿的消极情绪只会增加你的压力。同样学习重新理清情况；即是用不同的态度看待问题，以致这个问题不会那么困扰你。

Remember YOU: Just like the airlines tell you that if the oxygen masks come down, put yours on before helping others, the same goes for stress.  If you are constantly overwhelmed, you will burn out.  It really is okay to refuel by taking time for yourself … even if it’s only with small actions like quietly drinking a cup of tea or visualizing a “safe place” for five minutes.
记住“你”： 就如航空公司告诉你的，如果氧气面罩坏了，先戴上自己的氧气面罩再帮助别人，对待压力也是一样。如果你不断受到打击，你将会心力交瘁。通过给自己时间恢复能量真的很好，即使只是一些很小的行动，如安静地喝杯茶或想象一个“安全地方”5分钟。
