有效消除憂慮的習慣和策略

They focus on the present.

活在當下

Perhaps one of the biggest differences between worriers and non-worriers is the ability to stay in the present, and not get bogged down by things that have yet to happen. Purdon calls it a "worry chain" -- the idea that one worry will spur a "what if," which spurs another worry and another "what if," and so on. Non-worriers are able to look at a problem and recognize what solution needs to be implemented, "but a worrier isn't able to get that kind of distance," she explains. "The mind goes a lot faster."

活在當下，不被尚未發生的事情困擾，這種能力也許就是衡量一個人是否容易憂慮的最主要區別。博登博士稱之為“憂慮連鎖”—就是一種擔心會激發另一個“假如“，再激發下一個“假如”，如此產生連鎖效應。不易憂慮的人能夠去看待難題并且找出需要的解決方法，“但是易憂慮的人卻無法達到那種程度，”她解釋道，“他們的思緒轉得很快。”

For instance, say your son comes home with a bad grade. If you're a worrier, you might then worry that this will cause your son to fail the class, which will then impair him from getting into college. However, if you're a non-worrier, you'll realize that the immediate issue at hand is just that your son needs to study harder in this particular class -- and that's that. "I'm able to say, 'He usually does really well, he's smart, he’s dedicated, he’ll be fine; this is a blip, not a pattern,'" Purdon says. Whereas when worriers become anxious, their "intentional focus narrows to threat cues. They can get themselves very anxious very quickly."

比如，你的兒子考試考砸回到家。如果你是個容易憂慮的人，你可能會擔心這會導致孩子最后掛科，可能會影響他上大學。然而，如果你是樂天派，你會意識到當下之急就是小孩需要在這門課上多用點兒功——僅此而已?！拔铱梢哉f，‘他一直做得很不錯，聰明又用功，他沒問題的；這只是個小挫折，不是常態，” 博登講道，然而，當憂慮者焦慮起來時，他們會“有意識地將注意力縮小到那些威脅性因素上，然后很快讓自己不安起來?！?/p>
