心情不好？把所有问题全写下来！

Putting pen to paper can be very therapeutic when you’re troubled—sitting at a keyboard doesn’t have the same effect as sitting in a quiet spot and getting your thoughts down on paper. You don’t necessarily have to share those thoughts with anyone, although you could decide to show your insightful writing to a counselor or a therapist to help you make sense of what you have discovered about yourself. Here are some life problems that you can make sense of through the power of words:
当你心绪不安时，拿起纸笔写下来会非常治愈。坐在键盘前的效果可不如找一个安静的地方坐下，把你的想法全部写下来。你不必和任何人分享这些想法，不过你也可以把你写下来的深刻想法给某位顾问或治疗师看看，让他们帮你理解你在自己身上发现的问题。当你出现下面这些问题时就可以通过文字的力量来想清楚。

1. You’re Angry
你感到愤怒

Pick up a pen and write down exactly why you are angry. Now make a decision to let it go. Holding onto the anger doesn’t affect the other person, the company, or the situation one bit: only you can decide when you’ve had enough.
拿起一支笔，写下你究竟为何愤怒。现在做一个决定，放下这些不快。纠结于愤怒丝毫不会对别人、公司或者这件事产生任何影响：只有你能决定你何时应该解脱。

2. You’re Stressed
你感到有压力

Start by writing down the words, “I’m feeling stressed” and then go on to describe what that feels like. Your brain needs to get off the cycle of spinning around in circles so you can start focusing on solutions.
一开始先写下“我感觉到有压力”，然后描述这种感觉是怎样的。你的大脑需要从毫无进展的死胡同里摆脱出来，这样你才能开始专注于解决问题。

3. You’re Depressed
你感到沮丧

Journaling can help you document your recovery as you recover from depression. You can look back over time and see that you are making progress, even if you don’t notice that you are feeling better day to day.
当你从沮丧中恢复的时候，日记可以帮你记录你的恢复过程。你可以回顾过去，看见自己正在进步。哪怕你并没有察觉，其实你每天都比前一天感觉更好。

4. You’re Anxious
你感到焦虑

Write down the issue that you are concerned about and its consequences; it can help you put things into perspective, and save the response for when you really need it.
写下你担心的事情以及它的后果；这样有助于你以长远眼光来看问题，把应对措施留给你真正需要的时候。

5. You’re Confused
你感到困惑

We all get stuck sometimes and have no idea what to do next. Start with what you know and build out from there. You may find that you have more answers (and options) than you originally thought.
有时候我们都会遇到瓶颈，不知道接下来该怎么做。从你知道的开始，一点一点想办法。你也许会发现你比原本想象的有更多答案和选择。
