你不可能停止担忧。担忧其实可以给生活中带来些积极的东西。
You can’t just stop worrying. Worrying has been a huge positive in my life.
许多证据证明担心是为了更好地迎接生命中的挑战,而且长期来说是积极地。我是不会完全不担心的。
There is lots of evidence that worriers are better prepared for life’s challenges and so tend to do better in the long run. I wouldn’t give it up at all.
但是,和担忧和平相处也是可以的。冥想和专注(就像现在读书读报一样),哪怕只是一天坚持10分钟,也会有巨大的改变。这样让你慢慢不再害怕担忧某件事情。
But, it is possible to live better with worry. Mediation and mindfulness (tons of articles and books on how), even for just 10 minutes a day, makes a huge difference. There you learn to worry without fear for one thing.
也许根据个性类型来说,10%的人和我们一样。地球上有7亿人。其实有很多人在陪着你呢。
Estimates I’ve seen of personality types suggests there might be about 10% of the population that does what we do. That seven hundred million people on the planet presently. You’re in good company.
一直对自己说。我读到了这计划,一直存在手机里提醒自己-“担忧是一个摇椅。它会对你产生影响,但是它永远都在原地。”
Keep on telling this to yourself. I read this quote somewhere and kept it saved on my phone to remind myself - 'Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but, takes you nowhere.’
转移注意力
Divert your mind
把你的想法从那些让你担忧的事情分离出来。出去走走。做点事情。让你自己忙起来。
Detach yourself from the chain of thoughts that worry you. Go out. Do something. Keep yourself busy.
说出来
Talk it out
这一招对很多人有用。和真正懂你的人说。如果他们没时间,就上网。网上有很多论坛里的人可以听你倾诉。
This works for a lot of people. Talk to somebody who really understands you. If they are unavailable, get online. There are many anxiety forums where people are there to listen.
在你的时间表在外休息一下
Take a break from your schedule
和你的家人,朋友去度假,或者只是在一个新的城市自己旅行。回来的时候你会焕发全新的激情。
Get a holiday with your family, your friends or just tour a new city alone. You will return rejuvenated.
写日记
Write a journal
我经历过,写下忧虑让你更清楚自己的状态,减轻心理负担,减少心烦意乱的情况。
I experienced that writing your worries gives better clarity, reduces the convolution in your head and decreases the frequency of worrisome thoughts.
看点积极地东西
Watch something motivating
一个好的TED演讲,鼓舞人心的电影或者视频,有时候会让我们做事的时候更加自信,更受鼓舞,来帮助我们走出忧虑。
A good Ted talk, inspiring movie, or video sometimes gives us the confidence and courage to do something, moving past our worries.
总之,不要把生活太当回事。记住你只能活一辈子。浪费时间去担心很多事情是几乎完全没用的。深呼吸。一切都会更好的。
All in all, don't take life that seriously. Remember that you have only one life to live. It's almost no use wasting it over a lot of things we worry about. Breathe. It will get better.
