Here are six things I always keep in my bag for my mental health.
以下是我为保持心理健康而经常放在包里的六样东西。
I always keep a bottle of water with me because if I get dehydrated, I just don't function that well and some kind of snack because if I get hungry, well then I tend to get hangry.
我总是随身带一瓶水,因为如果我脱水了,我的身体机能就会不太好,我还会带一些零食,因为如果我饿了,我就会饿得很饿。
You also want something that's going to ground you in a sensory detail.
你还想要一些能让你在感官细节上扎根的东西。
For me, it smell and touch with this lavender hand lotion, it always really helps me when I'm in a really overwhelming situation, but for you it might be music.
对我来说,这是薰衣草护手霜的味道和触感,当我处于不知所措的情况下,它总是能帮助我,但对你来说,它可能是音乐。
Keep something that helps you to deal with really distressing emotions.
保留一些能帮助你处理真正痛苦情绪的东西。
My advice is that things should not have a on-off switch, cuz when you're really upset and you don't have service then you're stuck.
我的建议是,事情不应该有一个开关,因为当你真的很沮丧,没有服务时,你就会被困住。
Find something that gives you hope for difficult times, this might be a photo of the people you're close to, a quote or a verse that is really meaningful to you or something that reminds you of your dreams and your hopes and the reasons why you're alive.
寻找一些能在困难时期给你带来希望的东西,这可能是一张你亲近的人的照片,一段对你真正有意义的引言或诗句,或者一些能让你想起你的梦想、希望和活的原因的东西。
And of course you want something that helps you to stay in touch with other people.
当然,你还需要一些能帮助你与其他人保持联系的东西。
You probably already have that, that's your phone, so put a charger in that bag or an external battery whatever it is that's going to keep that phone working for the long term.
你可能已经有了,就是你的手机,所以在那个包里放一个充电器或一个外部电池,不管是什么,都可以让手机长期工作。
