告别压力山大：7种方法教你15分钟轻松减压

Reading is also a good way to de-stress. Choose a lighthearted book that’s comical, romantic, or otherwise makes you feel good. You can also read a religious or spiritual book if you’re so inclined. Any book that gives a good, positive message about the world or the people in it can help you feel better and be more relaxed.
阅读也是一个减压的好方法。选择让你心情愉悦的书，例如幽默的、浪漫的或者其他让你感觉很好的书。如果你很想，也可以读一本有关宗教或是心灵的书。任何一本描述这个世界美好、积极一面或者其中的人物有助于你感觉更好、更放松的书都可以。

5. Visualization.
想象。

Picture an idyllic and peaceful scene, such as a meadow or a beach, and use all of your senses. Do you smell jasmine in the air? Can you hear the birds singing and feel the light breeze on your skin? Your body can’t tell the difference between a thought and a real event, so bring your peaceful scene to mind the next time you’re feeling anxious. You can visualize the stress flowing out of your body or running off your back like water. You can visualize growing roots, just like an old oak tree, you can feel the stress draining into the earth and being absorbed my mother nature.
设想一个诗情画意般宁静的场景，例如牧场或沙滩，使用所有你所设想的场景。你闻到空中弥漫的茉莉花香了吗？你能听到鸟儿在歌唱、感受到清风拂面吗？你的身体不会分辨出是你的设想还是真实的场景，因此下一次你感到焦虑的时候可以想象那宁静的场景。你可以设想压力从你的身体排出或者像水一样从你的后背流出。你可以设想种植树苗（比如一颗古老的橡树），你可以感到压力被埋入土壤，被大自然所吸收。

6. Be grateful.
感恩。

When you’re feeling stressed, try counting your blessings. Write them down in a gratitude journal. There is always something you can be thankful for… sometimes it is as simple as waking up. Think about all the things that are good in your life. When you focus on gratitude, you’ll also see more of the good in your life. When you think negatively, it’s easier to feel angry and stressed. Positive thinking, on the other hand, helps diffuse your anger and brings you more good things to feel good about!
当你感到有压力时，试着去数数你的幸事。把它们写在感恩日志中。总有一些事情你可以去感谢……有时候感恩就像每天清晨需要醒来那么简单。想象你生活中所有美好的事情。当你专心去感恩的时候，你也会看到生活中更多美好的事情。如果你消极地去想，就更容易感到愤怒和有压力。另一方面，正面思考有助于疏散你的怒气，给你带来更多要去感受的美好事物！

7. Breathe.
呼吸。

When you are caught up in those really strong emotions that come with stress and overwhelm, take a moment to take a few slow, deep breaths. This action has multiple benefits. When you breathe deeply, it sends extra oxygen to your brain for clarity of thought and relaxes your muscles. It also gives you a moment to take a mental step back and look at the bigger picture.
如果你陷入了那些充满压力的强烈情绪中并感到不堪重负，花点时间做几个缓慢的深呼吸。这个动作有多重好处。深呼吸会将额外的氧气输送到你的大脑，让你思路清晰、放松肌肉。它也给你时间进行回想，再从长远考虑。
