Wearing a mask while sleeping at home sounds a little crazy.But Wu Keying did so during the novel coronavirus outbreak. “I feared that I would be infected. Now I know it’s not necessary to do so. But I am still worried about when the epidemic will end,” said the 13-year-old from Chengdu, Sichuan province. Being stuck inside makes her feel anxious.
In fact, many people have experienced feelings like Wu.Nearly 80 percent of people are deeply worried about the outbreak, while 40percent strongly fear it, according to a survey released on Jan 27 by theChinese Academy of Social Sciences.These emotions (情緒) are normal for people who are going through stressful events, according to Wang Weihua, an expert on positive psychology (積極心理學). “Some stressful reactions (反應) can help us fight the virus,” Wang said. “We take more protective actions, such as wearing masks and washing hands often, for example.”But if these feelings last too long, it will be bad for our mental (心理的) health, Wang added. So how can we stay positive?First, we should learn to accept unexpected changes in life,wrote Xiong Kewei, a psychological consultant (諮詢師) at Beijing Normal University. We might learn new lessons from these changes, like respecting (尊重) nature and being more responsible (有擔當的).Another useful way to stay positive is to stick to a normal routine (正常作息).“
The key is to take good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation,” Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, told China Daily.

在家睡覺時戴著口罩聽起來有點瘋狂，但吳克英在新型冠狀病毒爆發時就這麼做的。“我擔心會被感染，現在我知道沒必要這麼做了，但我仍然擔心疫情何時結束，”這個來自四川成都的13歲的孩子說。被困在室內使她感覺焦慮。
中國社會科學院1月27日公佈的一項調查顯示，事實上，很多人都體驗過像吳克英這樣的感覺，幾乎80%的人對疫情爆發深感擔憂，40%的人對此深感恐懼。
積極心理學專家王衛華（音）表示，這些情緒對於經歷應激性事件的人來說是正常的。“一些緊張的反應可以幫助我們對抗病毒，”王說。“我們採取了更多的保護措施，比如經常戴口罩和洗手。”但如果這些感覺持續太久，對我們的心理健康將是不利的，王補充道。那我們怎麼才能保持樂觀呢？
北京師範大學心理諮詢師熊克偉（音譯）寫道：首先，我們應該學會接受生活中意想不到的變化。我們可能會從這些變化中吸取新的教訓，比如尊重自然，更負責任/更有擔當。
保持積極的另一個有用的方法是堅持正常的日常活動。
