?第十二篇:Clear Your Mental Space 清理心灵的空间 
Clear Your Mental Space

Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion…like stress; anger; or frustration。 What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed; unable to think?

The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time; or you feel angry or frustrated; stop。 Yes; that’s right; stop。 Whatever you’re doing; stop and sit for one minute。 While you’re sitting there; pletely immerse yourself in the negative emotion。

Allow that emotion to consume you。 Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion。 Don’t cheat yourself here。 Take the entire minute…but only one minute…to do nothing else but feel that emotion。

When the minute is over; ask yourself; “Am I wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”

Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it; you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly。

If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer; that is OK。 Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion。

When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion; ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day。 If not; take a deep breath。 As you exhale; release all that negativity with your breath。

This exercise seems simple…almost too simple。 But; it is very effective。 By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt; you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it。 You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs。 When you immerse yourself in the emotion; and realize that it is only emotion; it loses its control。 You can clear your head and proceed with your task。
Try it。 Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion; give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens。 Keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:

Stop。 Immerse for one minute。 Do I want to keep this negativity? Breath deep; exhale; release。 Move on!

This will remind you of the steps to the process。 Remember; take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion。 Then; when you feel you’ve felt it enough; release it…really let go of it。 You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!

清理心灵的空间
想下你最近一次感受到的消极情绪,例如压力,愤怒或挫折。当你处于那种消极情绪时你在想些什么?是充满了混乱的思绪?还是陷于麻木,无法思考?
下次当你发现自己处于非常紧张的状态时,或是你感到气愤或受挫时,停下来。是的,对,停下来。不管你在做什么,停下来坐上一分钟。坐着的时候,让自己完全沉浸在那种消极情绪之中。
让那种消极情绪吞噬你,给自己一分钟的时间去真切地体会那种情绪,不要欺骗自己。花整整一分钟的时间 – 但只有一分钟 – 去体会那种情绪,别的什么也不要做。
当一分钟结束时,问自己:“我是否想在今天余下的时间里继续保持这种消极情绪?”
一旦你允许自己完全沉浸在那种情绪当中并真切体会到它,你就会惊奇地发现那种情绪很快就消失了。
如果你觉得还需要点时间来保持那种情绪,没关系,再给自己一分钟的时间去体会它。
如果你觉得自己已经充分体会了那种情绪,那就问自己是否愿意在今天余下的时间里继续保持这种消极情绪。如果不愿意,那就深呼吸。呼气的时候,把所有的消极情绪都释放出去。
这个方法似乎很简单 – 几乎是太过简单了,但却非常有效。通过给自己空间真正体会消极情绪,你是在处理这种情绪,而不是将其压制下去然后尽量不加理会。通过给予消极情绪所需的空间和关注,你实际上是在消解其力量。当你沉浸在那种情绪之中,并且明白它只是一种情绪时,你就摆脱了它的控制。你可以清理头脑并继续做事。
你下次笼罩消极情绪时,试一下这种做法,给自己一点空间来体会那种情绪并看看会发生什么。随身带一张写着如下字句的纸条:
停下来。沉浸一分钟。我想保持这种消极情绪吗?深吸气,呼气,放松。继续做事!
这会提醒你该怎样去做。记住,要花你所需要的时间去真正沉浸于那种情绪之中。然后,当你感到自己已经充分体会到了它。你会惊奇地发现,你很快就能摆脱消极情绪,并开始做你真正想做的事情!

 
?第十三篇:Be Happy 快乐 
Be Happy!

“The days that make us happy make us wise。”John Masefield

when I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate; it startled me。 What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much; I had always assumed that the opposite was true。 But his sober assurance was arresting。 I could not forget it。

Finally; I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation。 The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception; not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom; and without the blind spots caused by fear。

Active happiness…not mere satisfaction or contentment …often es suddenly; like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud。 Then you discover what kind of wisdom has acpanied it。 The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable。 Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision。

Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you。 Unhappy; with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes; your vision is cut short as though by a wall。 Happy; the wall crumbles。

The long vista is there for the seeing。 The ground at your feet; the world about youpeople; thoughts; emotions; pressures…are now fitted into the larger scene。 Everything assumes a fairer proportion。 And here is the beginning of wisdom。

  快乐

“快乐的日子使人睿智。”
                      … 约翰?梅斯菲尔德
第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德的这行诗时,我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思?我以前从未对此仔细考虑,总是认定这行诗反过来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意,令我无法忘怀。
终于,我似乎领会了他的意思,并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力之间,不会因忧虑而含混迷惑,也不会因绝望和厌倦而黯然模糊,更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。
积极的快乐 – 并非单纯的满意或知足 – 通常不期而至,就像四月里突然下起的春雨,或是花蕾的突然绽放。然后,你就会发觉与快乐结伴而来的究竟是何种智慧。草地更为青翠,鸟吟更为甜美,朋友的缺点也变得更能让人理解,宽容。快乐就像是一副眼镜,可以矫正你的精神视力。
快乐的视野并不仅限于你周围的事物。当你不快乐时,你的思维陷入情感上的悲哀,你的眼界就像是被一道墙给阻隔了,而当你快乐时,这道墙就会砰然倒塌。
你的眼界变得更为宽广。你脚下的大地,你身边的世界,包括人,思想,情感和压力,现在都融入了更为广阔的景象之中,其间每件事物 的比例都更加合理。而这就是睿智的起始。 

 
?第十四篇:The Goodness of life 生命的美好 
The Goodness of Life

Though there is much to be concerned about; there is far; far more for which to be thankful。 Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed; it is never outweighed。

For every single act that is senselessly destructive; there are thousands more small; quiet acts of love; kindness and passion。 For every person who seeks to hurt; there are many; many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing。

There is goodness to life that cannot be denied。

In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details; look closely; for that goodness always es shining through。

There si no limit to the goodness of life。 It grows more abundant with each new encounter。 The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life; the more there is to be lived。

Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be cov ered in foggy shadows; the goodness of life lives on。 Open your eyes; open your heart; and you will see that goodness is everywhere。

Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks; it always endures。 For in the darkest moment it bees vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure。 And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it。

Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away。 Around the next corner; inside every moment; the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you。

Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts。 Then; share your good fortune with another。 For the good
