寫(xiě)下過(guò)去的失敗有助于幫你減輕壓力

做最壞的打算可能讓你處于最佳狀態(tài)。

A study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience found that beating yourself up could do you good in challenging situations.

發(fā)表在《行為神經(jīng)科學(xué)前沿》雜志上的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在有挑戰(zhàn)的情況下，擊敗自己會(huì)對(duì)你有好處。

When people in the study wrote with brutal honesty about their past failures, their stress levels dropped, they made more careful choices immediately afterward and they improved their overall performance in stressful tasks.

當(dāng)參與研究的人們殘酷而誠(chéng)實(shí)地寫(xiě)下他們過(guò)去的失敗經(jīng)歷時(shí)，他們的壓力水平下降了，他們隨即做出了更謹(jǐn)慎的選擇，并且在壓力任務(wù)中提高了他們的整體表現(xiàn)。

The researchers proved this with 102 test subjects, whose cortisol levels were tested throughout the study to measure stress.

研究人員用102個(gè)測(cè)試對(duì)象證明了這一點(diǎn)，整個(gè)研究過(guò)程中他們的皮質(zhì)醇水平被測(cè)試以測(cè)量壓力。

Some wrote about their failures, while others wrote about the plot of a movie they had recently seen.

一些人寫(xiě)了他們的失敗經(jīng)歷，而另一些人則寫(xiě)了他們最近看的一部電影的情節(jié)。

Then they were asked to complete two different tasks, one to measure their performance, and one to measure their judgment.

然后他們被要求完成兩項(xiàng)不同的任務(wù)，一項(xiàng)是衡量他們的表現(xiàn)，另一項(xiàng)是衡量他們的判斷力。

They found that the people who wrote about their failures had lower cortisol levels compared tothe control group who wrote about movie plots when performing the challenges, and that theformer made more careful choices on a new task.

他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些寫(xiě)下自己失敗經(jīng)歷的人，他們的皮質(zhì)醇水平要比那些寫(xiě)電影情節(jié)的人低，而前者在新任務(wù)中做出了更謹(jǐn)慎的選擇。

In stressful situations, the people who wrote about their failures performed much better.

在有壓力的情況下，寫(xiě)下自己失敗經(jīng)歷的人表現(xiàn)得更好。

So when times are tough, just remember one thing: You're a failure.

所以形勢(shì)艱難的時(shí)候，記住一件事：你是個(gè)失敗者。
