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，我们来说说如何管理压力。对你的压力，也许你觉得自己无法应对它。账单接连而至、事情总是做不完、学习总是如此吃力。但你可以控制压力，而且你的控制能力可能超出你的想象。事实上，仅仅意识到你是自己人生的主宰就是你应对压力的基础。 管理压力就是掌管压力：掌管你的思想、情感、日程、环境以及你处理问题的方式。其最终目的是平衡生活。起先，要了解生活中压力的来源。这并不像听上去那么简单。真正的压力来源并非总是那么明显，人们很容易忽视自身压力，引发思想、感受和行为负担。当然，你知道你经常担心工作的最后期限。但也许是你的拖延，而非实际工作要求，导致了你的压力。 不幸的是，许多人应对压力，是通过类似吸烟、过度睡眠、远离朋友和活动这些加重问题的方式的。是时候找寻更健康的方式了。有许多健康的方式管理和应对压力，但它们都需要改变。你可以改变你的境况，或改变你对压力的应对方式。当你决定了选择改变，思考以下几点对你很有帮助，即：避免、变换、调整和接受。 以下是管理压力的策略。 第一，避免不必要的压力。学会如何说“不”——不论在你的私人生活或职场生活中，当你接近附加责任时，拒绝接受它们。接受太多无法应对的事情必然会加重你的压力。 避免接触给你施加压力的人——如果有人在你的生活中经常给你施加压力，而你又不能改变这种关系，那么，减少和此人相处的时间或干脆结束你们的关系。 掌握你的环境——如果晚间新闻让你焦虑，那就关掉电视。如果你不喜欢逛市场，那就网上购物。 减少你的工作安排——分析你的日程、责任和每天的任务。如果你有太多的事要做，区分“应该做的事”和“必须做的事”。把不必要的事放到最后或干脆不做。
