新一年不做放負王
工作狂:「自知工作壓力很大,終於請假去旅行打算放鬆一下,但出發前已擔心這個擔心那個,連去旅行都感到壓力,怎麼辦?」
CheckCheckCin:來到新一年,你心情是開心、興奮、充滿盼望?還是擔心、失落、欠缺衝勁?壓力過大會使人產生大量負面情緒,就連本來應該開心的事,例如新一年開始或者去旅行,也會變得思慮多多,甚至會經常不自覺地嘆氣,把負能量感染身邊人。從中醫角度來看,憂傷肺,思傷脾,情緒會影響臟腑功能導致身體不適,所以我們要學習清理情緒垃圾,以下有多個處理情緒垃圾的方法,找一個適合自己的進行,在新一年開始找回正能量。也可以沖一壼花茶與家人朋友分享,也可以疏肝解鬱。
方法一:清理家居雜物
我們常說物品是感情的延伸,所以清理雜物同是也可以為心靈來一次大掃除,生理上覺得舒適自在,心理上也會感到舒服。
方法二:放空十分鐘
你上一次放空是甚麼時候?不是指工作時對著電腦發呆,是真正遠離電話、電腦騷擾,從每天趕車、趕工作的行程中暫停十分鐘,專注於屬於自己的時間,徹底享受片刻的無所事事,有助腦部釋出記憶空間及釋放壓力。
方法三:紙、筆、垃圾桶

Remove negative energy in the new year
“I have been under a lot of pressure at work, so I finally decided to take a break to relax and travel. There are so many things to worry about before leaving and I get stressed even when I am on vacation. What can I do?”
CheckCheckCin: In the new year, are you happy, excited and full of hope? Or worried, lost, lacking passion? Excessive stress can cause a lot of negative emotions. Even things you should be happy about, such as starting a new year or traveling, may lead to a lot of thoughts on it, and you often sigh unconsciously, sending negative energy to people around you. From Chinese medicine perspective, sadness hurts lungs and worrying hurts spleen. Emotions can affect the function of the internal organs and cause physical discomfort, so we must learn to clean up the emotional waste. There are several ways to deal with emotional waste. You can find a way to find positive energy in the new year. You can also brew a cup of scented tea to share with your family and friends to relieve depression.
Method 1: Clean up household junk
We often say that objects are an extension of feelings, so cleaning up junk can also clean up the mind. It is rewarding both physically and psychologically.
Method 2: Zone out for 10 minutes
When was the last time you zoned out? It does not mean to be gaze at the computer at work, but to really stay away from phones and computers. Pause for ten minutes from the schedule of catching your ride to rush to work every day. Concentrate on your me-time and enjoy the time to do nothing. It can release memory space in the brain and stress.
Method 3: Paper, pen and rubbish bin
To deal with stress and negative emotions, you must first bravely acknowledge their existence. Write down things and emotions you want to get rid off on paper, and thoroughly admit how you feel about yourself, then crumple the paper into a ball or tear it apart and throw into the rubbish bin.
