through your mind as you were going through that negativity (消极)? Was your mind cluttered with (充
斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated,
stop. Yes, that's right, stop. Whatever you're doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you're sitting
there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.
Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don't cheat
yourself here. Take the entire minute-but only one minute-to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, "Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I
go through the rest of the day?"
Once you've allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be
surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another
minute to feel the emotion.
When you feel you've had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you're willing to carry that negativity
with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with
your breath.
This exercise seems simple-almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative
emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying
not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it
needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control.
You can clear your head and proceed with your task.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
