New Year, New You: Nix negative thoughts for good

 

Check these out, too...

  • 3 times it's OK to tell your bestie's secret
  • In the News: Exercise really does calm you down
  • What freaks you out? Spill the deets!
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Help! My BF told everyone we kissed--but we didn't!
What's the secret to getting rid of bad thoughts? According to a new study, it's tossing 'em out with the trash.
 
Scientists studied a group of high schoolers from Spain. The entire group wrote down things they didn't like about themselves, from bad habits to body image hang-ups. Then, half the group proof-read their thoughts, while the other half threw them away. Afterward, the researchers discovered that the students who threw away the things they'd written down were less likely to still be bothered by those negative thoughts. Pretty sweet, huh?
 
So this afternoon, take this study to heart: Spend five minutes writing down what bothers you most about yourself. Go ahead and add in things about friends, frenemies, family--anything that's bugging you. Then open up the kitchen trash and toss 'em in, one by one. Hello, happy 2013!

There's this girl in a lot of my classes who is REALLY popular. I am new to the high school and do not have many friends there. (I have a TON of friends elsewhere, and am not a so-called "loser". However, I am unfortunately extremely shy around people I don't know.) I used to think this girl was nice, and we were becoming friends.
Today one of my actual friends told me that this girl was "SO MAD" and that she "REALLY DOESN'T LIKE ME" because I had been "staring at her in biology". That is not true. I think it is very conceited of her. Anyways, she is supposedly going to "say something" to me about it. I am terrified. Thinking about it makes me cry. I know she has told other people and I already don't have friends. I don't know what to say if she says something to me. I feel like a freak. The worst part is that this is completely made up. I am aware that this is bullying. I don't know what to do.

 

Hey girlie, just be confident. If she says something to you tell her the truth. Tell her you don't know what she's talking about, you're sorry and it won't happen again. You don't have to continue to be good friends with her, but it sounds like it's best to try to stay on her good side.

One of my New Years resolutions is to eat healthier and go running after or before school so I can be in shape for Track in the spring. At least 3 times a week. How long should I run for if I'm a first-time runner? And what are some good ways to stay motivated and not lazy? Thanks so much (: (:

 

hey girl! one really great program for running beginners is the Couch to 5K program. look it up on google images! its a 10 week program that slowly works you up to running a 5K, which is 3.2 miles. From there, you can run more and more! To stay motivated, give yourself small and achievable goals, and post an inspiration board on your wall to inspire you to stick to your rezzies. good luck!

xoxo
