One of the best ways to keep in touch with your inner soul is by writing. You needn't worry about choosing your words carefully so as not to hurt anyone. You can choose to record everyday happenings of your daily life, or the special events. You can put down your thoughts, ideas or feelings. Writing is your conversation with yourself.
When you start a diary, you can be yourself on those pages, understanding yourself as well as others. We often fail to read social cues, facial expressions, body language, etc. It's like reading a book, where you understand the characters and situations easily, except, the characters are you and your acquaintances, and the situations are real.
On a daily basis, we go through several confusions. We often get confused with too many thoughts in our head. Writing helps to organize them. Things we are unable to process, feelings we are unable to recognize – they find a definition and recognition.
When you write a diary, you also leave yourself something to look at later. Have you ever found a letter, a copy, or just a gift that has made you go back in time? Have you ever found a piece of your life, a memory of the past, missing? In your diary, you revisit the moments you have been through and how you have come out of them stronger.
So make it a habit to write a diary. Write to keep a record. Write to develop your language. Write to accept failure. Write for no reason, because writing a diary is one of the best lifestyle choices, which will help you become your own friend.
A. However, when we write it down, things become easy and clear.
B. Thus, writing helps analyze a situation, too.
C. Maintaining your own diary doesn't have any rules.
D. Write to recognize success.
E. A diary is a silent witness to your changes and developments.
F. As our thoughts pour out naturally, the diary acts like the silent listener.
G. Besides, writing helps us to clear our mind.
You want to be happy, who doesn't? However, whether you procrastinate(拖延), feed negative self-talk, or don't rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.
Procrastination
You aren't in deadly danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn't always take this information on board. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate. Therefore, you don't see as much joy.
Negative self-talk
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Taking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful. Nevertheless, most people don't recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over. However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Additionally, you might have sleeplessness, digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.
If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don't procrastinate. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Similarly, don't overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.
A. Not resting your mind. B. Using your brain regularly. C. It is a human weakness to put things off. D. At the same time, don't feed negative self-talk. E. Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally. F. Additionally, as your system is nervous physically, your mind also closes off a little. G. Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety. |

Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It was esports, or competitive computer gaming.
Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun. Some of them have become professional gamers, playing games as their full-time job. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week. They do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Are players athletes? Some say no. Esports players don't need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies esports as kinds of games, not as sports.
But others say yes: esports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination, reflexes, accuracy and timing. If darts, snooker and shooting are classified as sports, then perhaps esports should be too.
