3. Watch Out for Noisy Thoughts
謹防胡思亂想
Your thoughts can be your best friend and worst enemy. Have you ever noticed that if you find yourself thinking even a single negative thought, it inevitably spirals out of control until you have a nasty chorus of Mental Monsters taking over your brain? If you find yourself thinking, “I feel so lonely right now,” it’s easy to keep that thought process going in the wrong direction until thoughts like, “I will always be alone,” or “no one will ever love me,” creep up on you.
思想既是益友又是勁敵。你注意到沒有:只要腦中閃過一絲消極念頭,就會引起惡性循環,直到自己完全被心理惡魔打倒才罷休?當你自認為“我此刻很孤獨”時,消極想法便很容易蔓延,最后你甚至覺得“我永遠都會這么孤單”或“永遠也不會有人愛上我”。
Be aware of what you’re thinking about and stop your negative thoughts before they grow into Mental Monsters that are much harder to control. If you find yourself stressing out, do something that relaxes you. Light some candles or incense, take a nice hot bubble bath, perform some gentle yoga poses, or play soothing music.
因此,你必須留意自己的想法,謹防消極念頭演變成無法控制的心理惡魔。緊張煩躁時,去做點能讓自己放松的事情。點上蠟燭熏香,泡個熱騰的泡泡澡,練練瑜伽,或奏一曲舒緩的音樂。
