As a teenager, I hated PE lessons. I was not very good at sports, and I
hated team sports because I always felt like I was disappointing the rest of
the team. During these years, I sometimes felt disconnected from my body
like only my brain was "me" and my body was just a vehicle （运载工具）
for carrying my brain around.
When I started university, I decided to try a kung fu club. To my surprise, I loved it! In my first year, most of us were beginners. I used to go two or three times a week. Because it is not a team sport, I didn't feel sorry about not being very good. And because it is a combat
（格斗）sport, you train in pairs, which means that you get to meet people and talk to them. I also appreciated （欣赏）that the focus of the classes was on getting better at kung fu, rather than exercising to change my body. When I was doing kung fu, my body changed—I got stronger and quicker—but the changes were a side effect of the sport, instead of the goal.
When I moved to Italy this year, I decided to start doing a combat sport again. I joined a local martial arts （武术）club and I loved it. We did lots of sparring （拳击）.I think that sparring is like chess, but much faster and much more fun! If your sparring partner tries to hit you hard with his fist, you have to move quickly to avoid him, block or even catch his arm and then throw him to the mat.
When I was a teenager, I would say I just wasn't a sporty person and that I just didn't like sport and never would. Now I think that everyone should try as many sports as possible because I believe there is something out there for everyone! I feel connected to my body and I am happier and have more energy when I have been doing sport.

Do you get upset because you can't complete what you want to? For instance, you might want to clean out your closets or write that novel you've been putting off. Maybe you try to focus, but you feel overwhelmed （难以应付的）.
Finding control comes down to one simple strategy （策略）:developing a habit of being organized. This means you've got to think ahead. When you can get organized, keep things under control, and live a tidy life, you can work faster and think more creatively. Here are some tips that can help:
If it's about housework, take a few minutes each day to de-clutter （清除杂乱）. Use small bits of time to clean out a drawer or throw old clothes into a cardboard box for donation. Get in the habit of buying organizational tools, like containers, for storing small things.
Group similar tasks. Clean out the refrigerator while a roast is cooking. Don't jump back and forth from room to room or jump from one task to an unrelated one. Also, you can put similar things together. For example, look at your bookshelf and try putting all the books about each topic in a group. Then it will be easier and faster to find the book you need.
It's a great way to make a to-do list. Use a calendar to plan out what you need to do each month. Then at the start of each workday, write down three important tasks you want to achieve that day quickly. Put a big star next to the most important one. So, before you go into the busy work, start on the important task and see it through to the end.
Getting organized should extend to your activities outside your home or office as well. Putting everything in order leaves you a clear calendar to plan for more activities with friends.
