Have you ever been in a bad mood that you just can’t shake? Or had a pile ofhomework but realized you’re not in the mood to get it done? Sometimes we feel atthe mercy1 of our moods, but we can influence and change them.

你有没有心情不好以至于无法摆脱的情况?或者有一堆家庭作业,但意识到自己没有心情完成它?有时我们会觉得自己受情绪的支配,但我们可以影响和改变它们。

How to choose a mood

如何选择心情

Step 1: Identify2 your mood. To switch3 moods, you need to check in withwhat you’re currently thinking and feeling. That way you can decide if you need tochange your mood to one that’s more suited to your situation.

Step 2: Accept what you feel. After you name your emotion, show yourselfsome understanding for feeling the way you do. But you don’t have to hold on tofeeling that way. Notice your mood, then choose to move past it.

Step 3: Identify the mood that’s best for the situation you’re in. If you need toget down to some serious studying, it’s better to feel interested, alert4, andconfident (and not so helpful to feel grumpy5, annoyed, and self-defeated).

第一步:识别你的心情。要转换心情,你需要联系一下你目前的想法和感受。这样,你就可以决定是否需要改变心情,换一种更适合自己情况的心情。

第二步:接受你的感受。确定自己的情绪后,对自己的感受表示理解。但你不必执着于那种感觉。注意你的心情,然后选择克服。

第三步:确定最适合你所处情况的心情。如果你需要集中精力学习,最好是感兴趣、机敏和自信的心情(而脾气暴躁、烦恼和自暴自弃的心情则无助于学习)。

How to get out of an unhelpful mood

如何摆脱不良情绪

To get out of a mood that’s unpleasant or unhelpful, try these mood changers:

Do something to break the train of thought that keeps your old mood going.Distract6 yourself with a song or simply focus7 on what’s going on outside yourwindow for a few minutes.

Change your body posture8. If you’re sitting, stand up. Moving your bodychanges your mood.

要想摆脱不愉快或无益的情绪,试试这些情绪转换开关吧:

做点什么来打破让你旧心情继续下去的思路。用一首歌分散自己的注意力,或者简单地专注于窗外发生的事情几分钟。

改变你的身体姿势。如果你正坐着,那就站起来。动一动会改变你的心情。

You’ve probably chosen your mood without even realizing it—many timespeople choose a mood naturally without thinking about it. But practicing ways tochoose your mood intentionally9 can help you get good at it.

你可能在没有意识到的情况下就选择了自己的心情———很多时候,人们会不假思索自然而然地选择一种心情。但练习有意识地选择情绪的方法可以帮助你做好这件事。
