1.Write It Out
　　 写下来
　　When you're flustered, spend a few minutes free-writing about your problems, which may help release them from your mind. Putting your concerns to paper helps your brain work through your problems, clearing thoughts and allowing you to move on. And once you're done writing, close the journal, keeping your thoughts tucked away in the pages, and not in your brain.
　　感到慌张，不妨花几分钟来写写自己遇到的问题，这能放松你的大脑。把困难写出来可以让大脑好好地去考虑这些难题，整理思绪，好让你继续工作。写好之后，合上本子，就把思绪藏在这一页页的纸张里吧。

2.Get Some Fresh Air
　　 呼吸新鲜空气
　　A simple change of scenery helps clear the mind and refresh the brain. Go for a long walk or sit outside and take a few deep breaths. Breathing slowly and mindfully activates the brain to release neurohormones that inhibit stress-producing hormones and trigger a relaxation response in the body.
　　简单地转换一下视野也能整理思绪、清新大脑。出去散个步，或是在外坐坐，深吸几口气。缓慢均匀的呼吸能激活大脑释放抑制压力产生的荷尔蒙，让身体放松下来。

3.Get Distracted
　　 分散注意力
　　When your brain's in overdrive, give it something different to think about. Play a game, read a book, or watch a movie. While you are taking a vacation from your pressing thoughts, you brain just might come up with some fresh ideas, giving you a new perspective on your problems.
　　如果大脑已经超负荷，不妨去想想别的事情。玩个游戏，读本书或是看部电影，从压力中给自己放个假，你的大脑也许马上会冒出新奇的点子，给你提供看待难题的不同角度。

4.Clean Your House
　　 打扫屋子
　　When you can't turn off your brain, put your body to work and clean your house. While you're scrubbing the tub, imagine cleaning out your brain, removing each thought that's bothering you one at a time. By the time your house is sparkling clean, your brain will be wonderfully clear too.
　　如果真的控制不了大脑，不如动起来打扫打扫屋子吧。洗刷浴缸时，想象其实你是在清洗自己的大脑，把那些烦人的思绪一个个地扫出去。屋子打扫完毕，大脑也会变得异常清晰。

5.Smell the Flowers
　　 闻闻花香
　　Take a break and smell the flowers. Stop being so hard on yourself, and snap out of it. Sometimes simply telling yourself that you've had enough stress and anxious thoughts tricks the brain into turning off. Stay positive, give yourself a quick pep talk, and before you know it, your brain will be clear.
　　休息一下，闻闻花香。停止苛责自己，重新振作起来。有时可以简单地告诉自己，压力和焦虑已经够多了，大脑需要休息。保持积极的态度，跟自己来一个快速谈话，不知不觉你的头脑就清晰了。

6.Think About It
　　 思考
　　Meditate on what's bothering you, imagining working out your problems step by step. Project yourself into the future, to a moment where you are happy and calm, and then work backward, figuring out what happens along the path to serenity.
　　好好想想那些烦心事，想象你能一步步地解决这些难题。畅想一下未来，你是多么得开心和平静。然后再开始工作，看看在通往平静的路上到底会发生什么。

7.Don't Worry About Time
　　 别担心时间
　　When a busy brain is keeping you up all night, don't worry about time. Unplug the clock, set an alarm somewhere else in your house, safeguard so you won't be late for work, and relax. This way, losing sleep doesn't top the list of things making your brain busy.
　　如果焦虑得睡不着，别担心时间，关掉滴滴答答的时钟，在别的地方设一个闹钟，以防第二天上班迟到，然后就放松吧。这样，即使失眠，你的大脑也可以得到放松。

8.Share Away
　　 分享
　　Clear the air by talking it out with a good friend. Call someone who's willing to lend a good listening ear, and share every thought that's bugging you. Along with sharing, chatting with a friend may offer new ideas for solving problems. Don't forget to return the favor in the near future to your attentive confidant.
　　和好朋友聊聊天。给那个愿意当听众的朋友打个电话，和她倾诉你的困扰。在这过程中，和朋友的交谈也许能给解决难题找到新的方法。别忘了以后也要这样去回报你的好友。
