Easy Ways to
Give Yourself a Fresh Start
It doesn't need to
be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page
on each new day.
Whenever we mark a new year —
by turning the calendar, returning to school or
celebrating a holiday — we
are looking for a
fresh start. 1 . But how? Here are some easy
ways to connect with that feeling of starting
fresh,
whether it’s a new year or simply a new
day in our life.
2 . This means you have
realized what serves your life now and what can
stay in your past. Or invest in
a new pen and
a new notebook. Having fresh supplies can
stimulate even the common task of creating your
to-do
list.
Moreover, you can learn
something new by opening a book you've been
expecting to read, searching a
question that's
been on your mind, enrolling in a class that
motivates your interest. Of course you can simply
ask a
friend for a fresh idea about an issue.
3 .
Take a break from technology — for an
hour, a day, or a week. 4 . You should be able
to put some space
between yourself and digital
routines.
One reason we sometimes struggle to
start fresh is that you get stuck reflecting on
worrisome thoughts about
the past, the future
or even the present. 5 . Allow these thoughts
into your day only at a brief (30 minutes or
less), specific time. The rest of the time,
focus on what you are doing that's new and
positive.
How do you give yourself that “fresh
start” feeling?
A. Electronic Products might
not be serving you best.
B. Newness or the
freshness can guide us on a positive path.
C.
Limit your daily “worry time” and make an
appointment with yourself.
D. All of us enjoy
newness, but what is it that leads to a sense of
freshness?
ing your past mistakes, you should
move forward with enthusiasm.
sing your
knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into
a fresh area.
, even letting go of a single
box or bag of items can give you a refreshing
sense.

(2)福建省厦门市2019-2020学年高三上学期期末
Put
on new set of gasses for a new view
Today I
visited San Francisco’s modern-art museum. I was
there to see a new exhibit about spaceflight.6. I
like
to “visit” this particular painting every
time I go to the museum not only because it
evokes
(唤起)
strong feelings,
but because
I always find something new.
There's real
pleasure to be found in revisiting a museum
replaying a game or rewatching a movie. Some of
that
enjoyment comes from the feeling of
familiarity of course.7. .There’s always plenty
more to see, hear, taste, smell,
feel, of
understand the second or third time around. But
how do you discover the exciting new thing in the
familiar?
One way is approaching whatever task
is at hand by searching for the things that you
didn't see in the first time
around. First,
recognize that everything is always changing.8.
Second, remove judgment from the experience, if
possible, and just observe what's new. For
example, look for the ways in which a change in
your neighborhood is
interesting or exciting.
9. That could mean removing sugar, coffee, a
certain kind of media from your life for a
specified time. Once
the break is over, that
same thing will have more of its former interest
or excitement.10. So is true that novelty is
fun, but given enough of a break in between,
repeated experiences regain that initial
excitement.
A. Repeated experiences like this
are valuable.
B. Visiting a new country brings
fresh experience.
C. Coffee will never taste
better if you quit it for a month.
D. But the
piece of art that made me cry was a familiar one.
E. But it also comes from noticing new things
in what is so familiar.
F. So the second
experience is never exactly the same as the first
one.
G. Another way is changing your routine
and taking a break of some kind.
