Question

【题目】At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. 【1】 Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.

【2】 A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.

Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 【3】 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.

Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones. 【4】

Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true. 【5】 Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.

试题分析：我们内心的恐惧往往会掩盖事情的真相。有时，我们会被恐惧和焦虑打败，担忧的情绪会改变我们的认知。文章介绍了几条应对恐惧和焦虑情绪的技巧。
