5个简单的方法为你带来平静心情

1. Do your most daunting task first thing in the morning 1. 将最艰巨的任务放在早晨 It's tempting to start your day with easy tasks. Don't. Pushing a daunting task backis like holding a glass of water in an outstretched arm. At first nothing happens, but if you do it for hours or even days, you will soon feel the stress. Do the most annoying task first thing in the morning, and enjoy increased productivity and peace of mind for the rest of the day. 人们总是倾向于用简单的任务开始一天的工作，别这样做。将艰巨的任务拖到后面就像你伸开手臂举着杯子，开始没什么，但是随着时间的推移，你会很快感觉到压力。将最艰巨的任务放在早晨，这样你不仅能提升效率，而且还能享受一天中剩下时间的平静。 2. Let go of things you don't control 2. 放开你不能控制的事情 You make plans to go outsidewith friends. But at the last minute, it starts raining. What's your reaction? 你与朋友计划好外出，但是最后关头下雨了，这时你会怎么想？ Some people upset and angry,and find the nearest person and start complaining to them. "It's not FAIR that it's raining. This always happens to me!" 有些人会因此而失望、愤怒，然后跟周围的人抱怨：这不公平，为什么这种事总是让我遇到！ That's not going to accomplish anything - the rain won't stop just becauseyou throw a tantrum. The rain doesn't care. So make the best of the situation. What I do in such situation is go for a quick walk in the park (because rain has its own awesomeness)， or just lie in bed reading a good Terry Pratchett book, listening to the rain beating on my window. 没什么可抱怨的，雨不会因为你抱怨而停止，老天才不在乎。这种情况下我会到公园里散步（因为雨也很有魅力），或者躺在床上一边读特里·普拉切特的书，一边听着雨水打在窗户上的声音。 Make the most of what you docontrol, and don't worry about what you don't. 将你能掌控的事情做到最好，但也不用太在意你不能左右的事情。3. Don't worry about what others are thinking 3. 不必担心别人的想法 I used to be very self-conscious about my dancing. I would rarely go out with my friends, and even if I did, I wouldn't dance, instead just standingawkwardly by the side, because I was worried of what others would think. 我曾经对自己的舞技感到非常羞愧，因此很少与朋友外出。即使出去我也不跳舞，仅仅笨笨的站在一边。因为我担心别人嘲笑。 Then, one day in high school, I decided that enough was enough. So the next time I went out with myfriends, I just went to the dance floor, and danced likenobody was watching. And thefunny thing was - nobody cared. In fact, people only liked me MORE, because I washaving fun. 然而有一天我在学校里重重地下了决心，决定要改变这一现状。下一次和朋友们出去的时候，我走进了舞池，旁若无人的跳舞。有意思的是并没有人注意到我。实际上他们更喜欢我了，因为我玩得很开心。 Don't worry about what others are thinking of you -most likely they're too busywondering what others are thinking of them. 不要担心别人怎么看你，可能他们还在忙着担心别人会怎么看他们呢。 4. List 3 things you love about your situation right now 4. 列出在你的现状中你最喜欢的三点 Just list 3 simple things about any part of your life that you love. Like "3 simple things I love about the room I'm in right now"，or "3 simple things I love about this week", or anything else. 列出生活中你喜爱的3件简单的事情，如：这个屋子我最喜欢的3个地方，或这个星期我最喜欢的3件事，或是其它的什么。 This is a great technique ifyou're ever bored while stuck in traffic, or waitingin the grocery store checkout lane. You can immediately transform boredom into happiness and peace of mind! 在你堵车或排队而感到无聊的时候这个技巧就会显得尤为有用，你能立即把无聊的感觉一扫而光，取而代之的是幸福和平静。 5. Walk to a window, look outside, and take a single deep breath 5. 走向窗前望向窗外，深呼吸 Just walk to a window, look outside, and then take a single deep breath, focusingonly on that breath and nothing else in the whole world. This technique soundsextremely simple, but you won't believe how much it can instantaneously increaseyour peace of mind. 走向窗前望向窗外，深呼吸。将注意力集中到这次呼吸上并忘掉其它的一切。这听起来极其简单，但是你很难想象这样做能立即给你带来平静的心情。
