ways to overcome a negative state of mind

有助于掃除消極情緒的方法

Change the story in your head.

改變故事

Sometimes when you’re in a bad mood, it’s tempting to cling to a story that justifies it–and then retell it over and over like a picture book you’ve heard a million times. And then he said this…And then I did this…And then I messed up…

有時心情不好，人們很容易找個偏袒自己的理由，然后一遍又一遍地講述，就像那本早已讀過無數遍的圖畫書一樣——“然后他說……于是我就……結果我把一切都搞砸了……”

Visualize yourself closing a book and taking a new one off the shelf. Then start telling yourself a different story. One where you’re not a victim. One where you’re not powerless. One where you’re accepting what happened, and moving on so you don’t lose anymore time to that other book.

何不放下這本翻爛的書，再從書架上取一本新的呢？這樣你才能享有別樣的故事。在新故事里，你可以不再是受傷的那個人，你不再無助，你面對現實并繼續前行，為人生的下一篇章而奮斗。
