1. Self-awareness 1. 保持清醒 Complaining can be contagious, so if you find yourself falling into the same mental habits as the malcontents around you, stop yourself. When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately revise it. Instead of telling yourself, "That's a nice shirt, but I can't afford it," change the message to, "That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it". By doing this, you're fostering the process of neurogenesis -- creating and reinforcing pathways in your brain that lead to positive behaviors. 抱怨是会传染的。当你和别人一样喜欢抱怨时，立刻停下来。当脑海中冒出消极想法时，立即矫正它。 如果说：“那件衬衫真好看，但是我买不起”，你可以这样告诉自己：“当我买得起这件衬衫时，它和我的黑裤子会很搭”。通过这种方法促进神经的生成——在大脑中建立和加强积极思维的路径。 Of course, everyone complains sometimes: Your favorite team loses. Your computer crashes. Deadlines pile up. It's human to vent now and then. But the less frequently you complain, the more time will pass between lapses into negativity. This is how rewiring the brain works. 当然，每个人都有抱怨的时候：钟爱的球队输了，电脑崩溃了，一堆工作没有完成。偶尔发泄是人之本性。但抱怨的频率越少，你陷入消极的概率也会越小。这是使大脑思维不断更新的方式。 |
