This includes tars, feathers, pillow stuffing, dirt, rotting food, sour milk, flouryou name it and you get it, you can certainly pile it on.The blackening takes place prior to the wedding, which at least spares the tux (无尾礼服) and the wedding dress, but any time or location is fair game.Once blackened, the lucky newlywedtobe is paraded through the streets or tied to a tree as said “friends” announce the wedding.Blackening supposedly prepares the person for any humiliation (羞耻) that life has yet to bring, as nothing could be as humiliating as being blackened.Breaking Dishes (German)Throwing plates is typically something you do after youve been married a few years, unless youre from Germany.The wonderful tradition of breaking dishes actually takes place prior to the wedding at the rehearsal dinner.Tradition says the more dishes you break, the more good luck the new bride will receive.This counts double if shes lucky enough to get a brand new set of china as a wedding gift.After this part, the bride and groom join forces to sweep up the mess, a gesture that ensures nothing will ever get broken in their home again.Keep Your Feet on the Floor (Irish)Irish legend has it that the bride must keep her feet on the floor while shes dancing with the groom to ensure little fairies attracted by her beauty wont kidnap her.The quick and clever fairies are always eager to get their hands on beautiful things, and legend says the bride has long been a prime target. Irish legends throughout the ages full of tales of fairies stealing brides, although its not clear where the brides end up and if the destination is better than where she planned to spend her honeymoon.Passing a Rolling Pin(擀面杖) (Polish)How many Polish people does it take to pass a rolling pin? It depends on how many people are at the Polish wedding! The tradition is pretty much what it sounds like，as people stand in a circle and pass a rolling pin from one person to the next，but theres a ruleno hands are allowed，and each person must grad and then pass the pin along using only their legs.While it is not immediately evident what the tradition means or why people do it，it is evident it would be great video to capture for future generations to enjoy.No Bathroom Breaks for Three Days(Tidong tribe，Northern Borneo)Can your bladder (膀胱)really explode?

The next your worries spiking, pay attention to these five behaviors.1_It may seem helpful to let it outand for the most part it can be cathartic(精神集中发泄的)but mind the longexisting problem. Studies show that stress is an infectious emotion, and soon your stress has bee someone elses, too. A hateful anxiety cycle isnt good for anyone. Instead, try hanging out with your best friend while doing a few activities you enjoy. One 2011 study showed that quality time with your best friend forever can help ease your worries.2_Ever heard the phrase “Dont go to bed when youre angry”？ Well, heres another one to file in your rulebook: Dont make a big decision when youre stressed. Researchers from Harvard monitored a group of students and found that students who reported high levels of stress were worse at making good longterm choices because their minds were absorbed. In other words, that important decision about a job or that choice to make a down payment on a house should probably wait until youre a little more relaxed.3_Weve all been there. We get overe and decide the best way to deal with our todo list is to just ignore it. That delay habit we create when were stressed may feel good at the timebut its certainly not helping later on. Instead of putting off something entirely, try breaking up your tasks into pieces. Research suggests we work best in 90minute intervals (间隔). Dedicate yourself to your work during those intervalsthen give yourself a rest by taking a look at those puppy videos.4_It can feel natural to think about every single hiccup (打嗝)when something goes wrong, but that nonstop overthinking could be harming our health. According to a xx study published in the journal PLOS ONE, those who reflect over negative thoughts and emotions are more at risk of depression and anxiety. The study also suggests that our psychological response to the negative occurrence seems to have more of an impact than the actual event itself. If you find yourself worrying about every detail, try a few mindfulness to get you back to the present moment. Let those thoughts float away.5_Stress can ruin your sleep routine, and the worst thing you can do is to just give into the stress. Watching a TV show until the early hours may seem like the only way to get your mind off things, but research shows your burning screen could be messing with your sleep even more. If youre stressed and struggling to sleep, try smelling some lavender(薰衣草) or even a warm bath.
