Apart from psychological illness, we are all largely responsible for our own emotional health．What we say to ourselves over and over for days, weeks, months, and sometimes years, has a great effect on how we see ourselves．This also contributes to many mental health disorders．

Many of us have problems with negative（消极的）thoughts playing on the channel of our minds, bust if you′re buried in it and believe it, it could be wearing your sense of self-esteem（自尊）．Here are a few beliefs that indicate you may need to switch the channel: I′m not good enough？/I don′t deserve…？/No one likes me？/I′m a failure．

Negative thoughts remind you of your bad feelings and they bring your focus on your failures, and that gets you nowhere．

What can you do？Here are some suggestions：

Switch the channel when negative thoughts appear．Self-talk（自我暗示）is not so obvious that we often don′t notice its effect on our mood and belief systems．Key things to notice are“if only”or“what if”statements：the former keeps you stuck in the past with regret, while the latter keeps you fearful of the future．There is nothing you can do about the past, and the future isn′t here yet，so stay in the present moment．

Recognize that actions always follow beliefs．You′ll find yourself behaving in ways that are consistent to your beliefs．So，start believing the best about yourself：act as if you believe that you′re a valuable and worthy person．

Develop positive self-talk rather than negative self-talk．Instead of always looking down upon yourself in your head，think of some things you actually like about yourself．What are your strengths? What are you good at? Instead of saying “I′ m a loser”，try saying，“I am capable．／I′m good at…／I accept myself the way I am．”

Thinking poorly about ourselves gets us nowhere and is extremely self-limiting．Decide today to turn off the negative self-talk channel in your mind and develop your true potential．

New York, the city that never sleeps, fell silent last week—schools were closed; bus and subway services were stopped; flights were canceled, and even the stock market closed for the first time since 1985. All the disorder was caused by one thing, the arrival of hurricane Sandy.

This big storm landed on Oct 29 on the US east coast and brought damaging winds, flooding, blackouts (停电) and heavy snow.

Sandy is one of the largest storms that have ever hit the US, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. By the afternoon of Nov1 (Beijing time), about 140 deaths were caused by the storm as it traveled across the Caribbean islands and into the US.

Unlike most hurricanes that happen during summer, Sandy was strengthened not only by warm ocean water, but also by the cold air coming from the northwest. Sandy’s power grew because of the difference in masses between the warm and wet air and cool and dry air. It became a kind of “super-storm”, the Guardian reported.

The flooding was particularly severe. Scientists said it was because Sandy’s arrival happened together with a full moon, which normally means higher-than-usual tides (潮水).

“The most worrying aspect of Sandy is the high tides,” Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee told Reuters before the storm arrived. “With the full moon on Monday, with Sandy coming up the bay, we’re very concerned about flooding in our low-lying coastal areas.”

Apart from the power of Sandy itself, another reason why her arrival has caused so much damage is that its target area is crowded with big cities such as New York and Philadelphia. These urban areas are home to tens of millions of people. The flood, the snow and the blackout have brought the country’s financial and political centers to a stop. 

“The size of this alone, affecting a heavily populated area, is history making.” Said Jeff Masters, a hurricane specialist.
