After work, put on lightweight sportswear and swing with colleagues and teammates at the nearby badminton court, letting the pressure and frustration turn into sweat with every sprint and swing, slowly releasing. Regardless of winning or losing, the laughter and cheers of each other always make the mood relaxed. Having a late night snack and chatting together after finishing the game is a small blessing to replenish energy. It not only exercises my body, but also nourishes my soul, allowing me to welcome the new day happily. (Far EasTone Telecommunication/Xue Wenji)

Compared to being hastily woken up by an alarm clock in the morning, after a busy day, with reluctance to put down your phone and enter another fast-paced dream, weekend evenings are undoubtedly a relaxing time. This week marks the first F1 race after a summer break, and the anticipation of the audience and the confidence of the drivers' pre race visits add color to this highly anticipated Dutch race. As the five lights went out, the race officially began. Exciting overtaking shots, the start of DRS racing mode, the extreme tire change at the pit stop, the team radio's strategy of battling wits, and the Moroccan driver sitting on the hillside after the collision unexpectedly opened a group of photographers' filming competition... Even the cat seemed to feel the compact atmosphere, excitedly jumping onto the TV cabinet, raising its front foot, and patting the high-speed racing cars on the screen, as if cheering for the drivers. Seeing the cars brushing the fastest lap time and time again, my heart, which had been worn away by life, slowly filled. (Far Eastern International Bank/Vicky)

Modern people generally bear the dual pressure of work and family, and how to heal themselves in the cycle of busyness is a challenge that everyone must face. My healing method is to read before bedtime. A good book is like a cup of tea, which can brush away the fatigue of the day; Like a sweet dew, it can nourish the soul; Like a journey, it allows people to understand various aspects of the world; Like a gentle breeze, it brings inner peace back. Although reading cannot quickly accumulate wealth, it can help people grow. In times of confusion, relying on the power of words to achieve self redemption, one can also stand on the shoulders of giants and see the multidimensional world.

In the midst of busy life, I always arrange a small trip for myself to escape from daily life. Fly to a strange country, listen to unfamiliar language, walk on streets with different rhythms, randomly turn into a small shop, smell the coffee aroma in the air, hear the novel jazz melody in your ears, and outside the window are classical and elegant buildings. At that moment, time seemed to slow down, and the world was left with only me and this tranquility. Travel has brought me not only changes in scenery, but also a process of reorganizing my inner self. When I see people living comfortably and passionately in other corners of the world, I remind myself: no matter how busy you are, don't forget to take a break, give your heart a moment of freedom, and then return to daily life with a smile.

The light, shadow, and melody of the opera stage are my healing prescription. Since 1995, I have entered the world of Chinese opera and have studied Huangmei opera and Yue opera successively; I started studying Taiwanese opera in 2001 and returned to the embrace of Kunqu opera in 2006. At first, I just wanted to find a free entertainment, but I didn't expect to study for thirty years. My favorite part is the process of "editing the play", from reading to rehearsing, from body movements to singing, experiencing the joys and sorrows of the characters through repeated contemplation, and also having conversations with myself in delicate performances. That calmness and focus allowed me to find balance and strength in the play. Life cannot start over like a 'rebirth drama', but drama gives me the opportunity to experience the lives of others and feel the emotions of joy, sorrow, and separation. Every performance is a release and cleansing of the soul. Now that I have been studying opera for 30 years, I still maintain my love and enthusiasm for it. Whenever the lights come on and drums play, I return to the most comfortable and healing time. Opera has long been the most gentle destination in my life.

During busy work hours, my favorite thing is to order a hand cranked drink and slowly chew on the small joys brought by pearls, as if I can eat up all the boredom and depression. Sometimes I feel that pearls have too many calories, so I switch to eating zero calorie "cold weather" to enjoy the pleasure of chewing. After work, let's go exercise! By exercising to eliminate toxins from the body, release dopamine, and relieve stress and insomnia, one can experience the pleasure of love. It is truly a great choice for relieving stress.
