When I was finishing my tour in Iraq, my parents provided a vacation as a Christmas gift. "London,"I said. They seemed a bit surprised: I grew up there. Why didn't I choose a foreign place? I told them I wanted to go somewhere cold and wet after seven weeks in the desert. At that time this made sense(讲得通), but 10 years later, I've realised I wanted to return for a different reason: South Bank.
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London, on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family was comfortable living in this city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt lost and out of place, until I found something.
South Bank is the centre of British skateboarding. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language, and my favourite: Safe. Safe meant "cool". It meant"hello". It meant"don't worry about it". Once, when trying a certain skill, I fell onto the stones, and Toby came over, helping me up, "Safe, man. Safe." A few minutes later, when I landed the skill, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting,"Safe! Safe! Safe!"And that's the important thing —landing skills, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London years later, I found myself walking slowly down to South Bank for hours. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Then a teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, sat next to me. He seemed not to notice me. But soon I caught a few of his glances. "I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head, "Safe, man. Safe."
"Yeah,"I said. "Safe."
A. Set up an emotional tool kit for next time. B. Anything helps, even if it is taking a walk. C. Ask friends for advice on emotional control. D. Luckily, you are often able to turn things around. E. Sometimes it is better to respond rather than react(反应). F. They can bring you little bits of joy during an awful day. |
There are some days that start off badly, which can be a rush morning, a stranger being rude, or some bad news. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are a few tips that may help.
Switch things up
A quick way to rescue your day is to try a"sensory (感官的) change. " Take a hot shower, buy some flowers, or get up and move. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} When you are stuck in your emotions, a little activity and a change of location can help unlock them.
See it from a different point of view
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Ask yourself: Is this really about me, or is it about them? What is the story I created based on the thing that happened? Looking at the matter in a different way can help calm down your feelings.
Give yourself little rewards(奖励)
If you are really having a bad day, little rewards like some ice cream or taking a short break can make it less stressful than a large reward later would. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
I was once advised by a friend of mine that I should make an"album for happiness" to improve a bad mood on a certain day. Another friend also recommended me to collect positive messages and emails and pull them out when I feel low. Remember to get prepared.
