Envy
It's a familiar feeling. Your friend has made the team for Saturday's big game, and you take certain pleasure in telling him you can't he there to watch him play. You smile, but that voice in your asks, why him and not you?
Envy is an uncontrollable emotion that can hurt our relationships. Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret. It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don't own now, or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it. Feelings of unfairness arc part of being human, but when you focus on them, you can never get out of your dark emotions. And that makes you feel bad.
So is there a solution? Here are some strategies you can use when you find yourself feel envious: Don't fight with your feelings. When you fight with your feelings, they will fight back. So, just accept, "I feel envious."
Train yourself to celebrate others' success. Changing your behavior is usually the best way to change your thoughts, feelings and aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. When someone in your life experiences some kind of success, send them an email or a card. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. Then go out and do something special, and make you wonderfully proud of yourself.
Make peace with yourself, accept the gifts which make you special. Well, why not turn envy on its head, and make it become the encouragement you need for self-improvement? The best thing against envy is not to compete where you can't shine, but to do your best where you can. Then find out exactly the situations and qualities in others that start your envy. Is it someone's singing voice, their grades, or their new shoes? Envy shows us the things we'd like to have, so make a plan to earn what's important to you. Start a training program. Sign up for a night class. Give up a treat or two, and start saving for what you want.
Try some of these tips when you feel envious next tune.
Hello, my name is Sabrina. I was around lightning while taking a hike in the Grand Canyon, but I was safe because I knew the following tips.
Outdoors If there is a thunderstorm(雷雨), try to find a low place to stay in until the storm is over. You can also go into a nearby building or a car. Make sure that the windows of it are closed. Do not stand under a tree or use the umbrella with metal things. If the lightning is around you, do a" lightning couch"! Squat down(蹲下) with your heels(脚 后跟) together and put your hands over your ears. Remember not to lie down. |
Indoors During a thunderstorm, stay away from anything that is made of metal such as TVs, refrigerators because lightning can come into the house through wires(电线). When there is a thunderstorm outside, don't stand near the windows. And don't take a bath when there is a thunderstorm. Never use the phone during a thunderstorm, because lightning can hit the phone line and travel through the line and hit you. |
