When facing sadness or anger, how will you deal with it? Everyone says that one of the most effective ways to handle negative 1 is to relax. If things are sad, try to find a reason to 2 ;If you're angry, joke around. However, 3 said than done.
I had a chance to practice my 4 of "Make a joke of it" Last week. As a 5 of certain negotiations last year, my husband 6 the job of dealing with my daughter's 7 in orthodontia(牙齿矫正). The orthodontist's office is right near his office, he agreed that he'd schedule the 8 to take her.
On our flight to Kansas City for the holidays, the Big Girl lost her "functional appliance". We looked everywhere on the 9 , and it was gone. We got back home a week later, and the Big Man didn't make a(n) 10 . Days went by, I reminded him regularly, but nothing 11 . Whenever I thought about this 12 , I became extremely annoyed. Last night, I walked into our bedroom ready to tum on my 13 at full volume. "This really matters. She's growing now. What's more, you 14 you'd do it, "etc. Then I thought, "Make a joke of it. "So I went over, put my arm around him, said 15 , "You know what? If you don't call the orthodontist's tomorrow, I'm going to be angry, I'm not threatening, but just giving you fair warning. "I laughed while I said it. "I know, I know!" he said, shaking his head. "I'll send myself an email right now. "And today he made the appointment.
I'm not sure if making a joke of it was more 16 than getting angry, but I don't think it was less effective. It was much nicer than that 17 way. I was happier about it, 18 was he. Of course, my jokes weren't funny at all, but just the 19 to take a humorous attitude made a 20 difference. It's easy to say "make a joke of it", but it's hard to do when you're feeling angry or upset. Have you found a way to get yourself to make a joke?
