3. Expand our comfort zone. There are three important zones where we can be situated: the comfort zone, the learning zone and the panic zone. Let’s think of it as three circles one inside another. The unexpected gets us out of the comfort zone and into the learning zone which leads to the panic zone. It was proved by scientists that operating on the edge of our comfort zone is the best place to learn and grow. As long as we are “inside” it’s ok, but if we face a new and different situation we get out of these zones and move into the panic zone. We have to learn how to behave and how to manage the new situations without being afraid of taking wrong decisions. After all, is practice and learning that make these transitions less scary, resulting in an expansion of the comfort zone.
3.拓展我們的舒適區域。以下是幾個三個重要的區域:舒適區域,學習區域和不安區域。讓我們嘗試著想像一下,這三個區域就是三個圈,而且這三個圈是一個套在一個里面的。那些意想不到的事情把我們帶出了舒適區域,帶進了學習區域,而學習區域正是通向不安區域的。科學家們證實了,擴展我們的舒適區域是學習和成長最有效的一個辦法。只要我們的“內在”沒有問題。但假如我們面臨新的問題,我們會從那些區域里出來,進入到不安區域。因此,我們不得不學習怎么處理這種新情況,怎么樣不會害怕做出錯誤的決定。畢竟,只有不斷的學習與鍛煉才能讓我們不再感到害怕,從而拓寬了我們的舒適區域。
4. When you want to give up, do one more step. This step is about pushing our limits and becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable. We never know we will succeed unless we actually try.
4.當我們想要放棄是,多走那么一步。這一步具體是指,發揮我們的極限,并且把對此產生的不安轉換為習以為常。只有真正嘗試了,我們才能知道我們到底能不能做到。
5. Do not avoid or postpone tasks and activities. I often find myself postponing and delaying certain activities just because I am afraid of the result. In the end, we still have to do that thing and with time passing it might become even harder and we won’t get rid of it. More that that the pressure and the stress will become more intense. So let’s do things at the right time and feel a great release indifferent the result.
5.不要回避或者延緩任務或者活動。我發現我經常會延遲具體的某些活動,之所以會這樣是因為我害怕隨之而產生的結果。其實,我們遲早還是要去做這件事的,而且拖得越晚可能就越難完成。越是晚,越會感到壓力大,從而會更緊張。所以說,我們還是在該做某件事的時候把這件事做完吧,同時還能產生一種解脫感。
