集团专栏-永不放弃，保持乐观|Never Give Up

At the beginning of the year of 2020, we have encountered many things, whether we have talked about the change of the new crown color, or now talk about the new crown confused overseas people are facing the situation. Students at home and abroad are highly synchronized, everyone is in the network course punch card. Some parents and students are anxious but how do we deal with the crisis of the human race? The years are long. We will get through this crisis. Life is so short that instead of worrying and worrying, we should focus on living each day happily with our families.

Beijing fangshan district nuodeanda school is also concerned about students' mental health during this period. We sympathize with the anxiety of parents and students. We hope every student of Beijing nodeanda can study and grow happily. Hopefully, our six tips for staying positive will help.

了解切身感受 

Acknowledge Your Own Feelings

Are you feeling unsettled and stressed? Are there negative thoughts bouncing around in your head?  Is the lack of routine causing disorder and anxiety in the family, and amplifying existing negativity？If so, this is normal and it’s an important part of a challenging situation.

Our raw instinctive reactions, freeze, fight or flight, put us into survival mode and can block out any rational thinking. At this point we must stop and acknowledge the ‘negative’ thoughts, we must bring them into our awareness and find the positives, however big or small. It’s time to focus on these positive thoughts because the alternative is far more difficult to deal with when looking at the ever-changing big picture.

Are you nervous about exams? What’s your body and mind telling you? Bring it into your awareness and accept it. Then get organised, get focused, get going!  It’s important to acknowledge the negative and then quickly get proactive.

寻找积极的一面 

Seek Out the Positive

There are so many positives out there but sometimes you might have to seek it out.  I always try and surround myself with positive people and ideas, however small. I enjoy social media as it allows us to keep in touch with our great friends and classmates around the world.

However, I recommend you limit the amount of time in WeChat chatrooms that focus on the negative and don’t really give you positive useful ideas.  Be informed, be curious but don't engage in the negative conversations.

建立你的新习惯 

Set Up Your New Routine

没有更多的日常学校生活，你的日常生活被打乱了。我们必须适应。你可以设置一个新的生活习惯。你需要让这个例行工作为你而生，因为最终你要为你自己的成功负责。你的老师和父母会指导你，但是你知道，在学校，我们希望大家成为独立的学习者，所以你要有所有必要的工具来完成你想做的事情。

制定一个计划——你想要实现什么目标，你想和谁一起合作，你要达到什么期限或里程碑，你想要确定什么学习目标。你今天有什么积极的打算?

保持活跃 

Keep Active

You should not need me to explain the academic, physical and wellness elements of keeping active. Please join me on WeChat to watch my keep fit videos, enjoy them, get your body moving, your blood pumping and go for it!

恢复和充电 

Restore and recharge

In sports as in life actively resting and recovering is as important as the sprint itself. People recharge their batteries in different ways. For me, when facing a challenging situation, there are times when I want to be with people and I want to share ideas and talk about it.  Being with other positive people inspires me and puts me at ease.

There are other times, usually later at night when I want to be more reflective and take some ‘me’ time. It’s OK for people to take ‘me’ time but it can be difficult with everyone at home.  Be open and talk to people about why you sometimes need some moments of chill out time to recharge. They may well understand.  There are even some great guided meditation or yoga apps out there so why not give something new a try? What have you got to lose?

永不放弃 

Never Give Up

This moment right now is part of your journey, it’s your challenge that, as you stay positive will make your stronger, smarter and fitter. It’s a time when you will learn about yourself, test yourself and pull together with other positive people who are important to you. Review your big goals and start taking small but positive steps to get you there. And remember that always stay positive. Stay safe. Never give up.

Please remember NAS Beijing always with you.
