attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.

To be more grateful in life means that you are also allowing yourself to be happier, more contented and more satisfied with everything that has been going on around you. But with all the stress, all the disappointments and all the anxiety around you, I bet you ask yourself this question all the time: “How exactly can I be more grateful with my life?" 1..

1. Learn to live in the moment.

Life is a wonderful adventure full of enriching experiences and endless possibilities. Don't just go through the motions of repetitive (重復(fù)的) activities and boring tasks. No! Being a mindless zombie can make you more likely to take things for granted. 2., make an effort to enjoy the experience. You're supposed to attend a conference? Accept it. Babysit your niece? Enjoy the moment. Eat a 15-minute lunch? Taste each bite.

2. 3.

Being aware of your goal to be more grateful can help you look for things to be really more grateful for. Gratitude is a conscious decision. You have to practice it all the time.

3. Control your thoughts.

Of course you have the power to control what you're thinking of ! Consider this exercise, for example if you find yourself thinking more and more self-entitled, stop. 4.. You are given consciousness. Make use of it wisely.

4. Always resist the temptation of comparing yourself with other people.

As humans, we have the natural tendency to compare ourselves with others with the hope of getting satisfaction. Actually, this kind of activity does not help you feel more grateful in life.5.！You will always be meeting someone richer, which makes you feel lower than others!

Don't do it, please.

Every little think counts. You have the ability to make yourself feel more grateful in your life.

A. It does the opposite

B. Express gratitude all the time

C. Appreciate what you have right now

D. And if you find yourself repeating negative junk, stop

E. Instead of doing something just for the sake of doing it

F. Well, the following are some tips to help you with this particular concern

G. Words that stress you and make you feel worthless should definitely be removed

The ability to deal with anxiety is an important part of sports training.People who are able to overcome their anxiety perform much better than some of the strongest competitors of the game.Unfortunately，at times sportspersons fail because they feel nervous when they are on the playing field，which makes them lose confidence in themselves.As a matter of fact，performance anxiety is quite common among stage artists and athletes，who are required to present themselves and their skills to a large crowd.

Various psychologists have found that expert athletes may behave like amateurs under great pressure.So what causes performance anxiety？First of all，during training and preparing for any competition，an athlete focuses on improving his or her skills in a familiar environment.All the efforts taken and practice done are，thus，stored in the procedural memory.However，in a real competitive situation，the conscious awareness of new grounds corrupts the memory of the practiced game，thus causing anxiety.It is also found that with more cheering crowds，the pressure for the athlete to achieve the best builds up rapidly.

Secondly，our body releases certain hormones(荷爾蒙) to welcome the upcoming exciting situation，which causes quickening of the heartbeat and sweaty hands.These signs are often misinterpreted(曲解) by an athlete as fear and lack of ability to perform.The negative thoughts often result in a terrible panic attack.

Thirdly，while training，some athletes set unrealistic targets for themselves.Failure to achieve those targets is regarded as lack of skills and puts the athletes in self?denial(自我否定) of their own improvement.Even if they are fully prepared for an event，they tend to think poorly of their capabilities.Such reaction can turn any professional player into a green hand，thus ruining their performance.

Fortunately，something can be done to solve the problem.One of the best ways to overcome such a situation is distraction(分心)．As soon as you have the awareness of anxiety，pay your attention to something else—maybe singing or asking a fellow sportsperson about something that is not related to the game.Besides，you can take some small but effective measures.For instance，cut down on caffeine and sugar and have a carbohydrate?rich meal before the game to preserve energy.Anyway，performance anxiety is not a disease that athletes can get rid of once and for all.They should handle it properly to improve their performance so as to achieve sporting glory.

War is disturbing.No matter which “side” you're on，people are killing, people are being killed, and people are suffering.A recent poll (民意調(diào)查)in New York showed 47% for the war, 49% against.That means half the people you meet won't be agreeing with you.Be aware that this is beyond your control.You can't solve the problems of the world；no one has but it's up to you how you think about things, how you respond，what you do and say.

Remember you have a choice in the discussion about war and peace.You can choose to take part in or not, knowing that everyone who has an opinion thinks theirs will make the world better.End the discussion positively.You can connect with people in the discussion；you can't always convince others.Value being in relationship over being “right”．
