【reference version】
Healthy and effective solutions:
1. difficulty in sleeping ： Take a bath or at least a hot shower to make you feel relieved and relaxed and promote blood circulation to help you have a good night sleep.
3
2. increased restlessness：Make yourself slow down by sparing some time away from distraction, by listening to healing music and by making your to-do list flexible. 3. loss of social interest ：Share your feelings with an adult you trust or consult a professional to get treatment and thus you will be out of the trap.
Unhealthy solutions:
1. Drink alcohol 2. Speed up to finish as many tasks as possible without stop 3. Keep your emotions (stress) inside and refuse to share with others to get guidance and treatment
Your illustration:
I wouldn’t go along with the idea that we speed up to finish as many tasks as possible without stop. I was wondering what the potential result of pushing ourselves to do demanding and endless work would be in the long run. Don’t you think it would lead to a higher level of anxiety and nervousness in addition to our existing restlessness Don’t you think it would rob us of our time, freedom, wisdom and inspiration to reflect on what we are doing at the moment and make adjustment reasonably If it were up to me, I would turn to another solution, that is, to make myself slow down by listening to some healing music or making my to-do list more flexible and rational. Contrary to the former one, the latter one can help us keep a stable and sound attitude and manage our time more effectively. Therefore, after careful consideration, I must conclude that we’d better slow down to enjoy the preparation process instead of forcing ourselves to finish every mission, necessary or unnecessary, without any relaxation.
