The trouble with letting even a well-founded worry get the best of you is that it can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy: Lose enough sleep and suffer enough sweaty palms over time, and you'll start making mistakes that could lead to the very outcome you're dreading. Before things get that far, try these four steps: 就算理由很充分，但是如果让焦虑在你心中占据上风，它也会产生问题，臆想会渐渐变成现实：睡眠不足，掌心冒汗，开始犯错，最后你一直担心的事情可能就会发生。如果你想避免这些事情，试试下面四个步骤： 1. Articulate exactly what you fear. What you resist persists, so stop resisting. What are you afraid of? Write it down. Say it out loud. Sounds simple, but often just naming a fear makes it easier to deal with, because putting words to it gives it a shape -- turning an amorphous black cloud of worry into a specific problem (e.g., what happens if you lose this job?) so you can take practical action. 1.认清你到底在焦虑什么。你越是抗拒，它就越持久，所以不要抗拒。你在担心什么?把它写下来，然后大声说出来。这听起来非常简单，但现实往往是如果你能把焦虑描述出来，那么再去处理这些事情就会简单得多，因为语言的形容将使焦虑更具体了。所以试着把不确定的焦虑乌云转化为具体的问题(比如，如果你失业，会发生什么?)这样你就能采取实际的行动。 |
