Learn to Live in the
Present Moment
活在当下
To a large degree,
the measure of our peace
of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment.Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year,or what may or may not happen tomorrow,the present moment is where you are-always!
我们内心的平和,在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在当下决定的。不管昨天或去年发生了什么,不管明天可能发生或不会发生什么,当下才是你时时刻刻的所在之处。
Without question,many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things-all at once.We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our Present moments so much,we end up anxious,frustrated, depressed and hopeless. On the flip side,we also postpone our
gratification,our stated priorities,and our happiness,often convincing ourselves that someday will be better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will
only repeat themselves so that "someday"never actually arrives.John Lennon once sald, “Life is what's happening while we're busy making "other
plans",When we are busy making "other plans",
our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping
away. In short, I miss out on life.
毫无疑问,我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺
术,即把生活中的大部分时间花在同时为种种事情担心
忧虑上。我们任凭过去的麻烦和对未来的担心占据当
下的每时每刻,以致我们整日焦虑不安,萎靡不振,甚至沮丧绝望,另一方面,我们又不断推迟自己的满足感
推迟应优先考虑的事情,推迟自己的幸福感,我们常常
说服自己“有朝一日”会比今天更好。不幸的是,这种期
待未来的精神慰藉只会不断重复,以致’有朝一日’’永匹
不会真正来临。约翰 ,列侬曾经说过,,’当我们正在为生活疲于奔命时,生活已离我们远去,’当我们正忙于制
订’其他计划”时,我们的孩
子正迅速长大,我们挚爱的
人离去或死亡,我们的体形
慢慢变了样,而我们的梦想
也悄然消逝了。总之,我们
错过了生活。
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't.In fact,no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow.Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over.When our attention is in
the present moment,
we push fear from our minds.Fear is the concern over eventsthat might happen in the future --we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble,we will get old and die, whatever.
许多人的生活好像是为了某个未来的日子而进行的一次彩排。但生活其实并非如此,事实上,没人能保证他或她明天肯定还活着。现在是我们所拥有的唯一时间,也是我们能控制的唯一时间。当我们将注意力放在此时此刻,我们便能将恐惧置于脑后。恐惧就是我们对未来可能会发生的事情的担忧---我们不会有足够的钱,我们的孩子会惹上麻烦,我们会变老、死去,诸如此类。
To combat fear,the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.Mark Twain said,"I've been through many terrible things in my life,some of which actually happened."I don't think
I can say it any better.Practice keeping your attentionn
on the here and now.Your efforts will pay great dividends.
若要克服恐惧心理,最佳策略便是学会将你的注意力拉回到此时此刻。马克.吐温说过,’我一生中经历过许多可怕的事情,有些的确发生过,’’我想我说不出比这更具内涵的话。将注意力集中于当下,你的努力终会有丰厚的回报。
