How can I stop worrying about things that are beyond my control? 我怎样才能不再为超出我能力范围的事担心？ 获得43.8k好评的回答@Dushka Zapata： This is my favorite fortune cookie prediction ever and I carry it with me always. 这是我最喜欢的幸运饼干预测（西方中餐馆给客人的包有预测未来运气小纸条的小饼干），我总是带在身边。 （你正在为永远不会发生的事担心） You see, I used to be a worrier. 跟你说，我过去总是忧心忡忡。 I worried all the time. I worried that something was going to happen to someone I loved, or that something was going to happen to me. I worried that my family was not safe in Mexico City (where I'm from). I worried that I forgot to close the garage door. 我总是在担心。我担心我所爱的人会发生什么事，或者我自己会发生什么事，我担心家人在墨西哥城不安全（我就来自那里），我担心自己忘关车库门。 Why was it hard for me to even consider letting go of something that could be making me sick? 为什么连考虑一下放下这些让我头疼的事对我来说都很难？ Because, even though for a long time I couldn't articulate this, I somehow believed that if I worried about something, I could prevent it. Yup. I believed that most things I worried about wouldn't happen precisely because I worried about them. I saw my worry as a sort of protective shield, an undetectable force that swirled around the people that I loved and accompanied them wherever they went like an aura/guardian, like a halo on an angel’s head. |
