5.It’s OK to have bad days. You SHOULD have bad days.

　　有些日子糟糕也没事。你应该有些糟糕的日子。

　　“I make it a point to let myself have bad days on a regular basis,” Velasquez said. “There were many times when I wouldn’t get it out of my system. I wouldn’t let myself cry and wouldn’t sit in a quiet room and just reflect or take my dog for a walk and leave my phone inside. I wouldn’t do all of those things and over time you just build up and at a certain point it builds up and explodes, probably at the worst time possible. I make it a point to let myself be sad today and say ‘why me’ and cry and complain and leave my blinds closed, but tomorrow, it’s done. Tomorrow, I’m not going to feel sorry for myself, I’m opening my blinds, I’m getting out of bed, and I’m letting myself be happy. It’s worked! And now I can’t picture myself not doing those things because it’s what keeps me sane.”

　　“我坚持让自己在日常生活中过些糟糕的日子，”维拉斯克兹说。“很多时候我都会憋着，我不让自己哭，不让自己呆在安静的屋子里，反省，或者是遛狗不带手机。我不会做这些事情。慢慢的，不断压抑自己，到了某个点，就爆发了，可能是最糟糕的情况。我坚持让自己今天过的很糟糕，然后对自己说‘为什么是我’，哭泣并抱怨，闭上眼睛。但是明天，所有不好的情绪都会烟消云散。明天我不会替自己感到悲伤，我会睁开双眼，起床，让自己变得开心。这样做很有用。现在，我无法想象自己不去做那些事情，因为这样让我变得健康。”
