Calm Down! Tips for Regaining Your Cool Quickly
鎮(zhèn)定下來！使你快速鎮(zhèn)定下來的幾個(gè)小貼士
Tear ducts. They’re not my friends. I don’t send them Christmas cards. I don’t invite them to parties. Still, unbidden and unwanted, tears have a tendency to well up in my eyes whenever I’m having a difficult conversation with someone. And, though it’s quite rare, I’ve been known to totally blow a gasket or two. Let’s face it, that red-faced, exploding-at-the-seams angry look isn’t exactly fashion forward.
眼淚。是我不喜歡的。我不希望在圣誕節(jié)看到眼淚。我也不希望在聚會(huì)上看到眼淚。然而，有時(shí)，每當(dāng)我與某人有不愉快的會(huì)話時(shí)，眼淚就會(huì)自覺不自覺地在眼眶中打轉(zhuǎn)。盡管這種現(xiàn)象不多見，但是人們還是認(rèn)為我很生氣。要讓我們知道的是，臉紅脖子粗、看上去很氣憤的樣子是不受歡迎。
Emotions are good things. They help steer our choices and, when worn on our sleeves, give others clues to how we’re feeling. But sometimes emotions—such as traitor tears, a red-hot temper, or panic-inducing anxiety—are a downright pain in the rear. When high emotions get in the way of your professionalism, prevent you from effectively communicating, or cause your mascara to create a raccoon effect, it’s time to take control.
情緒是個(gè)好東西。它們有助于我們做出選擇。當(dāng)我們累壞了的時(shí)候，很容易使人看出我們的感受。但是，有時(shí)候，情緒------比如出賣我們的眼淚，非常激動(dòng)地情緒、或是那種誘導(dǎo)恐慌的焦慮------都一目了然說明了背后的痛苦。當(dāng)你的這種情緒影響到你的職業(yè)、這種情緒不能使你有效地與人溝通、或是這種情緒使你的睫毛膏產(chǎn)生了一種浣熊效應(yīng)的時(shí)候，你就應(yīng)該要學(xué)會(huì)控制你的情緒了。
Keeping Cool in the Heat of the Moment
在最要爆發(fā)時(shí)，學(xué)會(huì)保持鎮(zhèn)靜。
As calm as we may try to keep our lives, there’s one thing that’s for sure. @#!& happens. Grocery clerks put bottles of orange juice on top of egg cartons. Speed-demon drivers cut you off on the highway. Checks bounce when your significant other forgets to write a withdrawal in the register. Bosses assign impossible late-night tasks. And it’s important to keep yourself together when everything falls apart. Here’s how:
有一點(diǎn)是毫無疑問的，在生活不論發(fā)生什么樣的事情，我們都要盡可能地保持鎮(zhèn)靜。商店里的售貨員們將桔汁水瓶擺放在應(yīng)該擺放雞蛋的紙箱中；在高速路上，那些喜歡開快車的人切斷了你的路；當(dāng)你的另一半在登記簿上忘記寫撤銷兩個(gè)字的時(shí)候，你的支票又一次被遞送過來；老板們要你完成那些即便是你干到深夜都不可能完成的工作等等情況。 當(dāng)每件事情都不對(duì)勁的時(shí)候，重要的是，你自己要保持鎮(zhèn)靜。下面是一些具體做法：
