6.Take a day off.That’s what I’m doing today. Don’t tell my boss. I have lots of vacationand sick leave saved up, so it’s not a problem, actually. I’m just going to veg out and allow myself to calm down and center.
放一天假:這正是我今天干的,別告訴我的老板。我很多休假日和病假日沒有用,所以我請(qǐng)假?zèng)]問題。事實(shí)上,我只是放松一下,讓自己平靜下來,精神集中。
7.Meditate.You don’t need to be trained to have a short, relaxing meditationsession. Just sit somewhere quiet, close your eyes, relax, and focus on your breathing. Try to concentrate on it coming into your body, and then going out.When other things pop into your head (they will, inevitably), just acknowledgethem (don’t try to force them out) and allow them to leave, and then focus again on your breathing. Do this for as long as you can, and then take a couple of cleansing breaths, and get up a new person.
沉思:你不需專門訓(xùn)練就能進(jìn)行一個(gè)短暫放松的沉思。只需坐在安靜的地方,閉上眼,放松,集中精力于你的呼吸。注意吸進(jìn)身體的東西,然后呼出去。當(dāng)雜念浮現(xiàn)你腦海的時(shí)候(一定會(huì)的,不可避免),只需承認(rèn)它們(不要盡力忽略它們),讓雜念消除,再次把注意力集中到呼吸上來。能堅(jiān)持多久就做多久,然后重新吸幾口氣,精神百倍地站起來。
8.Read.I like to throw myself on the couchwith a good book. Well, not necessarily a good book — a page-turner.
閱讀:我喜歡坐在沙發(fā)上看一本好書。嗯,沒必要是本好書,是本引人入勝的書。能讓我全神貫注,心無雜念。我的這些書有約翰·格利山姆寫的,威廉·吉布森的,泰瑞普萊契的或者安帕切特的,就此而言,也管用。還有史蒂芬金。我沉醉在他們的世界里。
9.Love.I like to spend time with my kids or my wife. Just snugglewith them, focus on them, forget about the world. They are all that’s important, and sometimes I need that reminder.
愛:我喜歡花時(shí)間陪陪我的孩子們和妻子。僅僅和他們依偎在一起,注視著他們,忘掉其他。她們是最重要的,有時(shí)這個(gè)提醒我需要。
10.Disconnect.Turn off the phones, turn off the computer, and shut off the outside world for a little while. These things just raise your stress level. Go offline and forget about the online world! You can do it!
杜絕聯(lián)系:關(guān)掉手機(jī),關(guān)掉電腦,暫時(shí)杜絕與外界的聯(lián)系。這些東西只會(huì)增加你的壓力。下線,忘了網(wǎng)上的一切。你可以做到的!
11.Take a nap.One of my favorites. Just take a 30-minute nap, and you’re re-set! A nap is like a restartbutton for life。
睡午覺:我的愛好之一。僅午睡半小時(shí),你就會(huì)恢復(fù)精神!午睡就像是生活的重新啟動(dòng)按鈕。
