We try to deflect the hurt and pain by pretending it doesnt exist, but although we can try this all we want, in the end, we

2、cant hide from ourselves. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us. 生活發(fā)生不幸時(shí)，我們常常會(huì)關(guān)上心門；世界不僅沒(méi)能慰藉我們，反倒使我們更加消沉。我們假裝一切仿佛都不曾發(fā)生，以此試圖忘卻傷痛，可就算隱藏得再好，最終也還是騙不了自己。既然如此，何不嘗試打開(kāi)心門，擁抱生活中的各種可能，讓世界感化我們呢？ Whenever we start to let our fears and seriousness get the best of

3、 us, we should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior. The items listed below are six ways you can open your heart more fully and completely. 當(dāng)恐懼與焦慮來(lái)襲時(shí)，我們應(yīng)該退后一步，重新反思自己的言行。下面六個(gè)方法有助于你更完滿透徹地敞開(kāi)心扉。 1.

4、d of running away or trying to mask the hurt. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it. When we run away from sadness thats unfolding in our lives, it gets stronger and more real. We take an emotion thats fleeting and make it a solid event, instead of something that passes throu

5、gh us. 當(dāng)生活中出現(xiàn)痛苦的事情時(shí)，別再逃跑或隱藏痛苦，試著擁抱它吧；當(dāng)悲傷來(lái)襲時(shí)，試著深呼吸，然后直面它。如果我們一味逃避生活中的悲傷，悲傷只會(huì)變得更強(qiáng)烈更真實(shí)悲傷原本只是稍縱即逝的情緒，我們卻固執(zhí)地耿耿于懷。 By utilizing our breath we soften our experiences.

7、where we need to go. 我們都經(jīng)歷過(guò)焦灼的煎熬感，也都感受過(guò)恐懼造成的生理反應(yīng)：脖子僵硬、胃酸翻騰。其實(shí)，我們有能力面對(duì)這些痛苦的感受，從中領(lǐng)悟到出路。 The initial impulse is to run away to try and suppress these feelings by not acknowledging them. When we do this, we close ourselves off to the parts of our lives that we need to experience most. The next time you

8、have this feeling of being truly uncomfortable, do yourself a favor and lean into the feeling. Act in spite of the fear. 我們的第一反應(yīng)總是逃避以為否認(rèn)不安情緒的存在就能萬(wàn)事大吉，可這也恰好妨礙了我們經(jīng)歷最需要的生活體驗(yàn)。下次感到不安時(shí)，不管有多害怕，也請(qǐng)?jiān)囍赂颐鎸?duì)吧。 3. Ask your heart what it wants 傾聽(tīng)內(nèi)心 Were often confused at the next step to take, making pros and cons

9、 lists until our eyes bleed and our brains are sore. Instead of always taking this approach, what if we engaged a new part of ourselves that isnt usually involved in the decision making process? 我們常對(duì)未來(lái)猶疑不定，反復(fù)考慮利弊直到身心俱疲。與其一味顧慮重重，不如從局外人的角度看待決策之事。 I know weve all felt decisions or actions that we had t

10、o take simply due to our “gut” impulses: when asked, we cant explain the reasons behind doing so just a deep knowing that it had to get done. This instinct is the part of ourselves were approaching for answers. 其實(shí)很多決定或行動(dòng)都是我們一念之間的結(jié)果：要是追問(wèn)原因的話，恐怕我們自己也道不清說(shuō)不明，只是感到直覺(jué)如此罷了。而這種直覺(jué)恰好是我們探索結(jié)果的潛在自我。 To start this

11、 process, take few deep breaths then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” 開(kāi)始前先做幾次深呼吸，問(wèn)自己：“內(nèi)心認(rèn)為該做什么樣的決定呢？覺(jué)得采取哪個(gè)方案最恰當(dāng)？” See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome. 看看自己的內(nèi)心反應(yīng)如何，然后全力以赴、靜待結(jié)果吧。 4.

14、answers, but instead, acknowledge them and be with them as much as possible. Once youre a little clearer about what exactly youve been hiding, from it gets easier to shine your light on it. 別害怕最終得出的結(jié)果，也別逃避，相反，你應(yīng)該面對(duì)并盡量接受現(xiàn)實(shí)。如果你能確切了解自己的陰暗面，也就更容易去改正。 5.

The golden ticket here is to not let yourself become distracted; just see what its like to be alone. 獨(dú)處使人免受他人干擾，能讓我們真正敞開(kāi)心懷去探究所喜所惡，讓自己跟著思緒游走一定要保持專心，用心體會(huì)獨(dú)處的曼妙。 It might be painful or even scary at first, but by opening yourself up to these new

Get outside of yourself 走出自我 This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip, but in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After youv

18、e explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. 這和前一個(gè)建議貌似有點(diǎn)矛盾，但其實(shí)兩者卻是相輔相成的。獨(dú)處之后，你對(duì)自己獲得了全新了解。 Now, its time to share that not through telling others, but through being with others. 然后，你應(yīng)該把它分享出來(lái)當(dāng)然，這不是要你直接把它告知與人，而是要求你通過(guò)與人交往進(jìn)行分享。 When youre in a group of people, try to give them your full energy and attention so you can understand them just as you did yourself.
