世界充满的了机会,但是过多的想法会阻碍你的道路。这里有几个建议可以帮助你生活得更美。
1.Be grateful for what you have. 对你所拥有的东西怀有感激之情。
When you stop to remember what you have instead of worrying about what you may not be getting, it changes your perspective for the better.
当你停下来,不去忧虑那些你可能得不到的东西,转而珍惜你所拥有的,那么你的视角会变得更积极。
2.Start your day the night before.
在前一个晚上为第二天做准备。
The most successful people I know end their workday by making a list of what they have to do the following day or two ahead. This allows the subconscious to work on things while you sleep.
我知道的最成功的人士会在一天工作结束之后,为第二天或第三天要做的事情列下清单。这样的话你在睡觉的时候,大脑都在下意识的工作。
3.Be ready to grow up.
准备成长。
Adults have the ability to learn to delay gratification, but we also have a choice as to how to behave when things don’t go our way. If you remember to take the high road, you’ll end up where you want to be.
成年人有能力学习延迟满足感,但是当事情没有按照我们预想的发展时,对于如何行动我们也有一个选择。如果你铭记着要走正确的道路,那么你将会到达你想要去的地方。
4.Drop the attitude.
放下架子。
If you think the world owes you a living, you might want to reevaluate your position. It is quite possible that, by feeling entitled, you are pushing away things and people you might like.
如果你认为世界欠你一个生活,那么你可能要重新评估自己位置。你感觉到自己有这个资格,所以很有可能你会把喜欢的事物和人推得远远的。
5.Don’t ignore your emotions, but remember that feelings aren’t facts. 不要忽视你的情绪,但是要记住感觉不是事实。
Emotions need to be honored—they don’t have to be justified—but just because you have a feeling doesn’t mean that you’re right.
情绪需要被尊重——它们不必合理——但是,不能仅仅因为你有一个感觉,就意味着你是对的。
6.Watch out for negative thinking.
当心消极思维。
Sometimes we get into negative feedback loops and don’t even know it. If thoughts of being helpless and hopeless continue to enter your mind, you might just need to take a nap or perhaps talk with someone who can help.
有时候我们陷入消极的反馈循环中,自己却毫不知情。如果无望无助的想法继续停留在心中,你可能需要休息一下,或者和能够帮助你的人谈谈。
7.Set up and stick to a routine.
建立并坚持日常计划。
We are creatures of habit, and good habits, such as getting regular exercise, make us feel better. Maintaining good habits also helps us feel that we have some control over our lives. Just do it.
我们是具有习惯的生物,并且是好的习惯,比如规律地锻炼,能使我们感觉很好。维持好的习惯也能帮助我们觉得,可以掌控生活中的一些事情。所以,坚持做吧。
8.Drop your resentments.
放下你的怨恨。
We all have them. Whether they are toward our parents, partners, or peers, resentments take up too much psychic space to allow us to function properly. By choosing to drop them, you will make your life much lighter. The hardest part is making the decision to let your resentments go.
我们每个人都有怨恨。不管你怨恨的是父母、伴侣、还是伙伴,怨恨都占据了太多的心理空间,以至于我们都无法恰当地运行(情绪)功能。选择放下它们,将会使你的生活更加轻松。最艰难的部分就是下定决心放开怨恨。
9.Know who you really are, and learn to honor yourself.
真正知道自己是谁,并且学会尊重自己。
We all fake it from time to time and, once in a while, this can be a good thing, but never compromise your personal values and always strive to be your best self.
我们总是时不时地装出另一幅样子,有的时候这是一件好事,但是永远不要违背你的价值观,并且要一直努力做最好的自己。
10.Enjoy a part of every day.
每天都要享受一会儿。
You can’t always be in bliss-city, so look for those little bright moments that happen all the time but that we often fail to recognize. Make a point of seeing some good in every day, and you will change your life.
你不可能一直生活在一个快乐的城市里,所以寻找一些快乐瞬间吧,它们无时无刻不在发生,却常常被我们忽略。每天都努力寻找一些好的事情,你就会改变自己的生活。
Changing your life for the better is about picking a destination and taking one step at a time to get there. If you try to take shortcuts, you may end up making your journey long and arduous. Being serious about making improvements is a great start. Now put it into action.
使生活变得更美好的方法就是选择一个目的地,并且每次前进一小步。如果你试着走捷径,可能最后你的旅程会变得漫长,变得艰难。认真的对待进步是一个很好的开始。现在就行动吧。
