Building new habits
培養新習慣
Be compassionate, not critical
富有同情心,而不是富有批判性
If you only pay attention to one tip in the entire post, this is it: Internal criticism is the kryptonite of building new habits and you’ll find it much easier to create a sustainable habit if you’re on your own side. That doesn’t necessarily mean getting rid of the inner critic (in my experience, that’s not a realistic goal), but being mindful of it.
如果你只想看一個小貼士,那就是這條了:內心的批評是建立新習慣的硬傷,你會發現如果你站在自己那一邊,養成新習慣并堅持下來就會容易得多。這并不是說一定要擺脫內心的批評(從我的經驗上來看,那個目標并不現實),但是要多加注意。
When we’re mindful of our inner critics, we hear what they say but we’re not controlled by what they say. Maintaining this distance can take some practise (and you might find yourself with ample opportunity to do just that while building your new habit!). At the same time as maintaining distance from your inner critic, take the opportunity to strengthen your internal‘nurturing’voice—the voice that tells you your best is enough and supports and encourages you on your journey.
當我們注意到自己內心的批評時,我們能聽到批評的聲音,但是我們不能受它們的控制。要想保持這種距離需要一些練習(當你在養成新習慣時,你可能發現自己有充足的機會這樣做。)在和內心批評的聲音保持距離時,找機會加強內心“培養”的聲音——這個聲音會告訴你什么是最好的,并在旅程中支持和鼓勵你。
【知識點講解】
take the opportunity 給[找著,得到,造,失去,抓住,利用]機會;
例句:
Take the opportunity to plunge yourself into your career.
抓住機會投身到事業中去。
If you have to take the floorboards up, take the opportunity to lag any pipes at the same time.
如果一定要把地板掀開,不妨趁此機會給各個管道加一層隔熱保護。
She had a great chance, but she goofed again, ie failed to take the opportunity.
她原有個極好的機會, 可是她又錯過了.
