阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes it seems that we can't feel any joy in life. We all have such bad days. However, an inability to feel joy is not the norm and requires attention. 36 ________ Luckily, there are steps we can take to generate joy.
37 ________ Learning to recognize emotions that inhibit(抑制) our ability to access joy can help us gain access to our positive core emotions. For example, when we feel anxious, slow down, breathe and name the emotion. Once the body feels calm, we get curious about the emotion's meaning. We may ask, “What is this emotion protecting me from?” and “If I move this emotion aside, what's underneath?”
Pay someone a compliment(称赞). 38 ________ So witnessing someone else's happiness can make us smile, too. Complimenting a friend or co−worker can help. Saying “It's nice to see you today” goes a long way. They may smile or show appreciation for your kind words. Witnessing their joy and happiness will lift your spirits.
Enjoy small moments of pleasure. Imagine you're a joy detective and try to identify one positive interaction that you've experienced recently. 39 ________ When you notice a positive feeling, try to stay with the moment. In the long run, it will lengthen our experience of positive emotions.
Smile, even when you don't feel like it. When we're feeling down, smiling may be the last thing on our mind. However, turning up the corners of your mouth can lower stress and boost your mood. It is a good way to watch a funny movie. Notice what happens when you laugh or smile. 40 ________
