【题目】Change is scary. 【1】 It can go hand in hand with the fear that we might hurt someone else if we think about ourselves. The truth is that youre so much more courageous than you give yourself credit for and far stronger than you realize. Here are some ways that you can use to help yourself make the process of creating change more manageable.

Make change into small bite size pieces. 2 Remember that as long as you attempt to take regular practice towards your goal, such as eating more healthily every day, or walking twenty minutes a day, youre heading in the right direction to make changes.

Form a habit of keeping a diary every day. Writing a journal every night before going to bed can effectively help you cope with the emotional impact of the change process. Go to grab a pen or pencil and remember a journal is not for being neat and tidy with good spelling. 3 .

Rest is essential to success. Have a rest and take timeout to build your energy. 4 If we dont give ourselves time to rest, we just end up burning out by the constant striving and worry. As we dont have the energy to keep going, we have to give up!

5 Just accept it! Im sorry to say that unless some people are really secure in themselves and truly happy in their own life, theyre never going to like your changes. This has nothing to do with whether they love you or not. They are just for self-preservation! Therefore, give them a little time to adjust and get used to it.

A. It is a step into the unknown.

B. Its not being lazy to have time out.

C. No one else is going to like your changes.

D. Don’t try to eat the elephant in one sitting.

E. Creating change is about building your character.

F. Keep repeating your small steps over and over again.

G. It’s a private place where you can speak out your inner thoughts.

【题目】Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf,James Francos world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years.
