Balancing goals in life
When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s important. One of the best ways to see the big picture—1.—is to lay out your goals.
Pressure Points and How to Deal with Them
Confused or overwhelmed- talk to someone you trust. 2.. They may help you find solutions to your problems and worries
Being too hard on yourself - ease up, take a break and do something you enjoy. Daydream, read a book, go out with friends—anything that helps you relax.
Problems, problems, problems—recognize your limits. It’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once. 3..
4.
It’s important to remember that goals belong to you—not to your parents, your teachers, or your friends. After you’re set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. If you’re not sure what skills you’ll need, do some research. Try the library, your guidance adviser and teachers, and other people who could help you.
Goals exist to serve you. If your goal is something you no longer want, change it. Identify the barriers to getting your goals. 5.. Don’t get depressed by a big, long-term goal—see what steps you can take to achieve it and set those steps down as short-term, “do-able” goals.
A. Goal-Setting Tips
B. Consider ways to overcome them
C. what you want out of life
D. Choose what’s most urgent and set aside the rest until later
E. Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher
F. As long as you know what skill is important and what isn’t
G. Too much to do
“How can we live longer?” many people wonder. Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbors, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equal relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s, The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.
Even though the odds are stacked against you (the conditions are not favourable to you), marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a less pleasant
side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses; death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.
So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socioeconomic factor, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms (机制). For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.
A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The best social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected so their health is interconnected.”
