　　Tips to Overcome Anxiety

　　All of us experience anxiety from time to time. You don't want to automatically turn to medication, especially if your worries are temporary. Fortunately, you can do something about it using these four tips to overcome anxiety.

　　Breathe deeply.

　　When you get anxious, your breathing quickens, which reduces the amount of oxygen your brain gets.

　　__1__ Take a moment to focus on taking deep belly breaths. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold the breath for 4 seconds, and then release it for 4 seconds. Doing this for 1－2 minutes should help to calm your nerves quickly.

　　__2__

　　Whether anxiety has just struck or you are chronically anxious, exercising is sure to help. Physical activity releases endorphin which increases happiness, and reduces cortisol — a stress producing hormone. As soon as you start to feel anxiety hit, go workout or take a walk. Aside from immediate treatment, regular exercise will decrease the amount of anxiety you feel over time.

　　Meditate or pray.

　　__3__ When anxious thoughts start to hit, retreat inwards and repeat a positive mantra (祷文) to yourself or pray. Focus entirely on this, and eventually your anxiety will disappear on its own.

　　Try an herbal remedy.

　　You don't have to rely solely on chemical filled with medications to relieve your anxiety. __4__ Many scientific studies have shown a strong link between reduced anxiety and taking supplements of St. Johns wort, valerian root, and chamomile. __5__

　　A．Take some time to exercise.

　　B．Instead, try an all­natural herbal remedy.

　　C．Walking is a good way to keep fears and anxieties away.

　　D．Try one of these supplements before heading for heavier medications.

　　E．This makes it more difficult to think clearly and form logical reasoning.

　　F．It's helpful to engage in deep breathing before an anxiety­provoking social situation.

　　G．Consciously taking your thoughts off your stressor and focusing them inwards on something peaceful will reduce your anxiety and fear immensely.

　　Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself

　　In all one's life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.

　　__1__

　　When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate (高估)

　　yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. __2__ It's likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.

　　Gain a correct view of oneself. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. __3__

　　Self­appreciate. Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. __4__If you earnestly (诚挚地)

　　admire yourself you'll have a real sense of self­appreciation.

　　__5__ In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing (释放) it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.

　　Get a full control of one's life. Then one will find one's life full of color and flavor.

　　A．It has its own value.

　　B．Do oneself a favor when it's needed.

　　C．Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness.

　　D．But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.

　　E．Especially if it is well within your reach, you are just too blind to see it.

　　F．When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself for your own incompetence.

　　G．So long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won't be difficulties you can't overcome.

　　Running for 30－40 minutes three times a week can be a fantastic way to build muscle while losing fat. __1__

　　Stretch 5－10 minutes before each run. __2__ That is

　　vitally important to avoid injury and too much stress on your body. Moving from top

　　to bottom (or bottom to top), rotate your joints clockwise and counter­clockwise until they feel loose and easy.

　　Avoid heel­striking. When running, many people tend to overextend their leg when striding forward, resulting in a great amount of heel­striking. __3__ Imagine how you would run if you had on no shoes at all — you would avoid striking your heel because it would hurt. So when you go running, run with the barefoot model in mind.

　　Learn to “run tall”. To help you maintain the right posture, remind yourself to “run tall” — that is, hold your body as though someone were pulling you up by your hair, with a slight forward lean. To help you get the sense of what the proper position feels like, interlock your hands and rest them on your head, then run. That's the body position you want to maintain.

　　__4__ Don't allow your arms to cross over your body — it's bad form and it wastes energy.

　　Breathe regularly. Keep an even rate of breathing while running. __5__ That is, take deep breaths into your stomach rather than shallow breaths into your chest.

　　A．It is both bad for your form and for your lower body.

　　B．Keep your muscles flexible.

　　C．Keep your arms beside your body.

　　D．Here are some tips on how to take exercise.

　　E．How do you get started if you're new to running?

　　F．Breathe with your belly.

　　G．Breathe deeply.
