根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our lives. We try to forget the pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try all this we want, in the end, we can’t hide from ourselves. 1. Here are some ways you can open your heart more fully.
1. Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises, try to accept it instead of running away. 2. By using our breath we soften our experiences.
2. Embrace the uncomfortable
3. We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can face these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.
3. Spend time alone
For most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? 4. You can truly open yourself and explore whatever you’d like. The golden ticket here is not to let yourself become distracted; just see what it’s like to be alone.
4. Get outside of yourself
This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip. 5. After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it’s time to share that — not through telling others, but through being with others.
A. We all know what anxiety feels like.
B. However, in reality they work hand in hand.
C. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potential of life.
D. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and face up to it.
E. You’ll add a new layer of depth and understanding into your life.
F. Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.
G. When you spend time in solitude (独自) you’re free from the influences of other people.
