When It's Not Quite a Wonderful Life

A

2011

study

by

researchers

might

make

you

think

twice

about

difficult

holiday

emotions. They followed dozens of bus drivers for two weeks, looking to see when

they

flashed

fake

versus

sincere

smiles

at

their

passengers.

The

results

showed

that

on days when the drivers tried to put on an act and pretend to be in a good mood,

their actual moods got worse. This was especially true for women. And another

research suggests that people who really want to be happy actually obtain less

happiness

from

positive

experiences,

apparently

because

their

expectations

are

too

high.

Again

and

again,

trying

to

gain

happiness

despite

no

preference

seems

to

have

the opposite result.

The

results

of

the

bus

driver

study

can

be

explained

by

researchers

Oliver

John

and

James

Gross,

who

found

that

negative

feelings

like

sadness

or anger

only

intensify when we try to suppress (

压制

) them. That's because we feel bad about

ourselves

when

our

outward

appearance

contradicts

how

we

truly

feel

inside.

What's

more, when we suppress emotions like sadness, we deny them the important function

they serve. If we don't recognize sadness we might not take the necessary steps to

improve the situation. Expressing our sadness can also get comfort and compassion

from those who care about us, strengthening our bonds.

Recently, scientists have also been paying special attention to the benefits

of

mindfulness.

When

you

respond

mindfully

to

an

emotional

trigger

(

诱因

),

you

pause

rather

than

react,

and

then

you

can

escape

getting

troubled

by

thoughtfulness.

Rather

than scold yourself, you simply notice what you're feeling without judging that

response as right or wrong. Studies suggest that a mindful response to a negative

event

reduces

the

amount

of

sadness

we

experience,

is

associated

with

less

depression

and

anxiety,

and

may

even

carry

physiological

benefits,

such

as

lowering

our

heart

rates.

Unavoidably, the holidays will

bring a mix of highs and lows. Perhaps the most

important

lesson

to

keep

in

mind

is

that

this

variety

of

emotions

might

be

the

best

thing possible for yo

ur overall well?being.

That

was

the

key

insight

from

a

study

published

in

2014

by

a

team

of

researchers

1

from Yale University. Their survey of more than 37,000 people found that, after

experiencing a greater variety and abundance of emotions consistently linked to

lower depression, people took less medication, visited doctors less frequently,

spent fewer days in hospitals, practiced better dietary and exercise habits, and

smoked less.

In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are like so many

other

parts

of

the

holidays,

they're

nothing

to

fear.

Just

make

sure

you're

balancing

them with lighter experiences.
