Whoever wrote the song “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have
never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some
effective ways you can beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other
tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. __1__ Here are four strategies to
help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
Don't force cheer
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can't stand, you tend to put on a
happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response—no drama, no
conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they
gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers
pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. __2__
Let off sadness
The results of the busdriver study can be explained by researchers, who find that
negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them.
__3__ We don't like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution.
When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger(e.g. overcooking the holiday
turkey), you pause rather than reacting at once. __4__ Besides, it is associated with less
anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.
__5__
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important
lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible
for your overall wellbeing. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions
are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences. And
don't forget to give yourself a break.
A. Relax your mind
B. Enjoy a mix of emotions
C. We tend to deny the important function emotions serve.
D. Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life.E. So trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects.
F. A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience.
G. We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside.

matter in our lives，we want to try our best to help them. __11__
Consider finding someone they look up to.Usually，a proud person thinks highly
of themselves，and not too highly of anyone else. 12 Find this person and get him to
go up to the proud person and talk about their unwillingness to accept help from others.
Give them advice.By now you may have gotten your proud friend to come to talk
to you.Now is the time for giving your proud friend some advice.But how do you give
advice to someone who thinks too highly of himself？You can use words like “Don't
you think…”“You told me before…” __13__
Improve your approach and strategies as you proceed.Sometimes the proud
person may feel angry that you've helped them.__14__ You might just need to accept
their roller coaster(过山车) of emotions about accepting your help and simply not take
it personally，ever.
