Tips to Feel Better All Day By Eric Metcalf
Get sunlight during the day.
Sunlight stimulates the brain chemical serotonin, which plays a role in helping you feel happy.
While you're outdoors in the sun, use the time to exercise for an extra boost, Rakel says. Research has found that physical activity can work about as well as medications for treating mild to moderate depression, and it may work better than medicine for preventing depression from returning. It can also help your anxiety.
Set yourself up for good sleep.
In the evening as the sky grows darker, your brain makes a hormone called melatonin. This helps you get sleepy. Some of your choices during the day and evening affect your melatonin levels, which in turn can play a role in how well you sleep. Rakel suggests that you:
Be sure to get that daily exercise in the sun, since it also helps you sleep at night. In part, that's because "melatonin is related to how much serotonin you have," Rakel says.
Turn down your thermostat. You make melatonin when your body is cooler, so you're likely to sleep better if you aren't too warm.
Turn off the lights. If your bedroom isn't completely dark, you won't make as much melatonin.
Eat "feel-good" foods
The way you fuel your body and mind makes a big difference in whether you feel strong or weak, focused or groggy. Keep these tips in mind:
Focus on "multicolored whole foods that were recently alive," he says. That means fresh vegetables, fruits, and beans, and whole grains instead of refined or processed foods.
Make room for cruciferous vegetables, which include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale. "Those vegetables contain chemicals that support immunity and help detoxify the body. They're super-foods for feeling good," he says.
Avoid foods that make your blood sugar soar, like sweetened sodas and sugary baked goods. Your body will respond with a rush of insulin, which makes your blood sugar crash. These highs and lows aren't good for your health, your focus, or your energy level.
Try to stay positive.
The same event can happen to two people, and one views it as a positive and one views it as a negative. So try to see the good side of the things and people around you; it can help you stay free of anxiety and depression, Rakel says.
Be around people.
Having a good support network of family, friends, coworkers, and other people who care about you can help you stay healthier, feel less stressed, and even live a longer life. Spend time with these people regularly, and work to keep your relationships with them strong.

捷運殺人/電玩/暴力原因
A man
randomly stabbed passengers
(CNN) -- Moments after his train left a station
in Taipei on Wednesday, a young Taiwanese man randomly stabbed passengers
before his violent fury ended when he was forced to the ground, police said.
At least four people were killed and 22 others
injured in the incident -- the first such attack since the East Asian nation's
mass rapid transit (MRT) system opened in 1996, media in Taiwan and nearby Hong
Kong reported.
According to police, the suspect, a 21-year-old
college student, began attacking people 20 seconds after his train left
Longshan Temple Station in Taipei.
Video
games and violent behaviour debate.org
Video games do have a huge effect on many
unsuspecting kids. The power a character possesses makes him super strong and
he starts killing people. The poor little kid will envy his power and try to be
like him/her. Therefore, the little kid ending up killing someone or hurting
someone badly.
They are
detrimental to teens' minds and society.
Are the murders of innocent committed because some kids play games?
Teenagers should not be permitted to buy violent video games due to the fact
that it corrupts their minds and causes them to act out in negative ways. Many
depressing incidents have happened in the past, and to stop them from happening
in the future, we must take action.
Teenagers
spend their free time playing violent video games. Research shows that boys
play 13 hours of them a week and girls tend to play 5. Even if we may not
realize it, it is detrimental to their minds and society. Since they were
little, kids have been exposed to aggressive behavior in the games that they
play. When this sadistic image of life is placed in their minds over and over
again, it desensitizes them.
When
these kids become teenagers, they are not sensitive to the world around them.
Their minds are corrupted by the rubbish that they used to occupy themselves in
when they were younger. In the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting, about two
dozen innocent children were mercilessly murdered by a young man in his
twenties. Why? Because the shooter’s mind had been corrupted so much that his
psychology had been negatively affected.
Causes
of Youth Violence By Denise Witmer
Traumatic Events
Dealing with traumatic events can cause violent
behavior in teens. For instance, if the teen loses a friend in a car accident
that they were also involved in they could get angry at the fact that they were
the one that lived. As anger is a normal stage of grief, a violent outburst from
this teen seems almost justified.
Mental Illness
Mental Illness Causes Teen Violence
Mental illness is also another cause of violence
among teens. Mental health issues like ADHD, bipolar, ODD, conduct disorder or
many of the others that are being diagnosed today, all have aggressive
behaviors or angry feelings as common symptoms.
Mental illness sometimes hides behind other causes of youth violence. For instance, a teen with bipolar disorder may be using drugs. If this teen becomes violent, the drug use could hide the fact that the bipolar illness is part of the cause.
Questions:
1. What do you think this tragic event?
What are the causes of violent behavior in
youth?
2. Do violent video games cause behavior
problems?
Should violent video games be banned?
3. Can video games teach kids to be a
better person?
4. How to defend yourself from an attacker?
What are the self defense tips to protect you?
5. Does pepper spray really work to disable
an attacker?
Do umbrellas really work to an attacker? What
are the objects can be use to fight against an attacker?
6. How can you tell if someone is mentally
ill?
7. Do you think that mental illness causes
teen violence?
愛在家 終止孩子成魔之路（彭惠鈴）
閱讀過貴報整理出鄭捷成長過程的「成魔之路」後，我想會有哪個孩子從小立志要成為魔鬼呢？父母師長們是不是在他哪個成長的環節中錯失矯正引導的機會？在他的高中畢業紀念冊上寫著：「我沒有放火燒我家。」有哪個愛家的孩子會寫出這樣的句子？他的父母接受採訪時說：「兒子是宅男，喜歡玩殺人格鬥電玩。」這樣的情況有沒有給父母甚麼警覺，還是以為乖乖待在家就沒問題？
陪伴傾聽用心教育
在孩子的成長過程中，父母或師長可以做些甚麼來終止「成魔之路」或避免孩子走上「成魔之路」。這個議題不是個案，是每個網路世代為人父母師長要開始認真思考的問題。
現在孩子的物質生活遠遠比上一代好，然而心靈生活卻相對貧乏。學生人手一機很平常，手機網路世代讓孩子沉溺在虛擬世界，父母們是否小時候就給他們手機來表達對孩子的愛？焉不知這樣的愛適足以害之。
甚麼樣的愛才能終止成魔之路？就是花時間陪著孩子，聽他說話，和他聊天，傾聽孩子擁抱孩子，讓孩子的心靈感受父母的愛，愛很抽象，需要時間需要用心，絕不是用任何物品或安親班或其他人可替代父母的付出。
我沉痛的呼籲，父母們，不要讓自己太忙碌，回家陪孩子吃晚餐，讓他們回家看得到你們。點燃家中幸福的燈光，讓「愛在家」好嗎？有愛的家，孩子怎麼捨得燒它；有愛的心靈，怎麼會不想活了？怎麼會仰賴殺人電玩來彌補空虛？又怎麼會在虛擬世界尋找幸福？又怎會把殺人砍人視為他立志要做的「大事」。
有些事的確需要犧牲，但「犧牲是拿好的東西去換更好的東西」。我在十多年前取得教師證卻放棄教職，為了孩子的成長，我的犧牲很大，但教育身心健康的下一代，這樣的犧牲真的很值得。愛要讓孩子看得到體會得到，這些父母都要花時間。讓愛幫助孩子成為社會的「光」，成為家中的「寶」，而不是「魔」，這才是社會之福。
只教她追求幸福，我卻沒有教育她怎麼樣應付不幸
走過喪女之痛的張惠君，對於為人父母，感受尤其深刻，談到北捷隨機殺人的鄭捷，她說，不能把錯都怪到父母身上。關中夫人張惠君：「像我跟我先生我從小是包括我的女兒，我非常非常仔細地教育她，但是我就是只教她追求幸福，我卻沒有教育她怎麼樣應付不幸，我常常覺得老天爺都有颱風下雨，都有刮風下雨，何況人呢父母又不是神，父母怎麼樣去，一定要做一個完美的父母呢，所以我覺得這個力量，我不是說父母完全沒責任，我覺得全部的社會都有是責任的。」
