ways to help you start chasing a new direction

幫助你去追尋新方向的方法

Don’t give in to the negative self-talk.

不要陷入消極的心理暗示。

My brain has this amazing talent wherein no matter what I do, it can point out all the ways in which I have failed. It tries desperately to convince me that I shouldn’t keep going; that it just wants me to be safe.

Phooey! That inner dialogue is what is keeping you stuck in the first place. You are in control of your mind, not the other way around. Choose to look at things in a different perspective. Choose to keep your options open and your dreams alive. When the negative discussion starts, choose to be stronger than your thoughts.

我的頭腦有這種驚人的天賦：無論我想要去做什么事，它總是讓我看到自己失敗的樣子。它拼命地想要說服我不要再繼續(xù)那樣做了；那僅僅是想要讓我身處安全。

哎！這段心里的對話正是讓你止步不前的罪魁禍首。你可以控制你的頭腦，而不是它控制你。從另一面看待事情。保持一種開放的心態(tài)，讓你的夢想指引你。當消極思想出現(xiàn)的時候，你要變得比它更堅強。
