We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our lives. We try to forget the pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try all this we want, in the end, we can’t hide from ourselves. 1 Here are some ways you can open your heart more fully.
1. Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises, try to accept it instead of running away. 2 By using our breath we soften our experiences.

3. Spend time alone
For most of our lives we抮e surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? 4 Yolu can truly open yourself and explore whatever you抎 like. The golden ticket here is not to let yourself become distracted; just see what it抯 like to be alone.
4. Get outside of yourself
This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip. 5 After Yyou抳e explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it抯 time to share that ?not through telling others, but through being with others. ou

If you think about your circle of friends and family members, you can certainly pick out one or more people who are not good listeners. 1 If you’re fortunate, that person is a good friend, a loved one or a teacher.
All too often, we associate the benefits of good listening skills with achieving very specific outcomes, like following the boss抯 orders (aimed at getting a job promotion).
2 We think of them as something basic, which we mastered in our formal schooling, along with dictation and obeying instructions, etc. This is aw shame. We should know listening skills are the focus of lifetime learning and development, related to our communication skills.
3 All of these occur because two people or groups don抰 listen to each other. We don抰 analyze the root problem, or work a on improvement steps.
We still tend to treat listening skills the way we treat learning to walk: we think that once we抳e acquired them, we抳e got them. We are ready to move on to the next thing. Wrong. 4
Poor listening skills often damage effectivk e dialogue between people. 5 If we were able to reduce misunderstandings in our conversations by 20-30%, there would be benefits in efficiency and the elimination (消除) of tiresome repetition.

Experiencing moments of jealousy at some time or other in your life is a very routine thing. 1 Maybe your peers are doing better than you. Or sometimes your sister probably has just achieved what you never could but always wanted to. Try out the following to deal with jealousy:
Try to list the reasons for your jealous feeling. Are you jealous because a colleague got a promotion that you thought you deserved and wanted? Or is it something else? Whatever the reason, take a few days off to stay away from the situation to calm your mind. Ask yourself why you get jealous and what you can do to win what the other person won. 2
Try to change the way you think. Jealous people tend to compare themselves to others too much. Learn to accept the fact that everyone is different and everyone eventually has their day. 3
4 Jealousy is a negative emotion and feeling. If you feel it boiling within you, calm your mind and think of positive, happy things instead. Once your mind is full of jealous thoughts, you will get so deep into it that you won抰 even realize how bitter you have become as a person.
Learn to appreciate others for who they are and what they have done. Jealous people sometimes like people who do not perform as well as expected. 5 o It is better to respect everyone and to get along with people who have earned or achieved more than you.

Our parents care for us so much that they do everything in their power to raise us in a fair and just environment. 5 You will be treated badly for all sorts of unfair things: your skin color, your intelligence, your height, and so on.

Now we know that brains can grow, adapt to change, regardless of your age. To learn a new skill you’ve got to create the new circuits in the brain that support the behavior required by the skill. 1 And it抯 also linked to improved memory and cognition. Then how to improve your brain power?
One way to do that is to mix things up a bit. When we do the same thing every day, those mental circuits become well-established. Impulses (r神经冲动) easily fly along them. 2 This feels uncomfortable to us, but exciting to the brain.
Even driving a new route home from work, trying a new recipe or taking on a new workout routine can fire up our brain. 3
Making use of your five senses is another way to improve your brain power. It is suggested that you get dressed with your eyes closed or listen to music while smelling the roses. 4 Wash your hair with your eyes closed.
In the beginning any change is going to be uncomfortable. 5 They haven抰 formed a map to guide the impulses down the new path. This is when we feel like our brains will explode. But once the new route is constructed, the unfamiliar and difficult skill will become easy. n
A. This usually takes a long time.
B. Brush your teeth with your opposite hand.
C. That is because our brains can抰 read the change.n
D. First, we must gradually get used to that change.

F. But when we add something new and unfamiliar, our brains need to develop new circuits.
