ways to overcome a negative state of mind
有助于掃除消極情緒的方法
Want to understand.
渴望理解
Even if something happened to create your bad mood, you’re responsible for maintaining it–and it’s easy to do that if you refuse to see the other side of situations. If you want to believe your best friend meant to hurt you. Or the world is against you. Or your boss didn’t promote you because she’s out to get you.
就算是發生了什么事情使你情緒受影響,你也有責任作出補救——而且,如果你換個角度看待一切的話,事情往往會容易得多。你還在想好友蓄意傷害你、整個世界都跟你作對、老板喜歡跟你對著干故意不提升你嗎?
Instead of fueling your anger for your friend, feel compassion for the pain she must be in–she’d never hurt you on purpose. Instead of thinking the world is against you, put your day in perspective. Everyone has bad days.
與其對朋友生悶氣,還不如同情一下她的處境——她絕不會無故傷害你的。與其認為整個世界都跟你作對,還不如端正一下自己的價值觀,誰沒遇過不順心的日子呢!
Instead of imaging your boss is out to get you, realize she had a tough choice to make, and you’ll have more opportunities to advance down the line.
與其認為老板故意跟你對著干,還不如多想想老板也自有難處,而你升職的機會又不止這一次吧!
