练习感悟：

其实人的状态有好有坏，不可能一直都在持续兴奋的状态。大多数时候我们都是内心平静，这样也是最有助于身心健康的。

大的情绪波动以后，往往迎来的是疲惫和厌恶，所以尽量把自己情绪控制在相对平和的范围内，遇到开心的事情，喜悦可以，但是不要狂喜，或者过度兴奋。遇到不开心的事情，可以沮丧，积极调整，但不能唉声叹气，愁眉苦脸，甚至情绪失控。大的情绪起伏都会对身体造成伤害，影响身心健康，所以保持平和，积极的心态即可，不必要遇到事情就全部加以最大的情绪，导致自己很累。

对于坚持也是如此。每天保持平常心，就能坚持很久。如果一天很自律，于是不管不顾狂喜，或者一天不自律，于是对自己十分厌恶，都不是一条持续的路，而且都会对身体造成损伤。
