【滚蛋吧烦恼】How to think positively

Whether you believe in the Law of Attraction, The Secret, the power of positive thinking, or you think positive thinking is a bunch of new age bologna, few can argue with the fact that people simply are happier and feel more optimistic when they have positive thoughts. For those in sales, positive thinking can lead to more creative thinking which can lead to more closed sales. 无论你是否相信吸引力法则，其中的秘诀，积极思考所带来的力量，或你认为积极思考只是新时代的法学思想，但是很少人能否认这个事实：当人们保持积极乐观的态度时，他们就会感到更快乐更积极。对于销售领域的职场人来说，保持积极的人生态度能够激发他们产生更有创造力的想法，最终帮助他们签下更多订单。 Knowing how to think positively is as important as wanting to. Here are a few steps to how to be a positive thinker from the business world. 学会如何积极思考与渴望学会积极思考同等重要。想要成为商业场中积思考者，有以下几个步骤： 1.Determine Your Desired Outcome 1. 设定期望结果 The problem with many people is that they really don't know what they want out of life or a particular situation. Take a moment to decide what it really is that you want out of a life event. Clear intentions yield clear results while fuzzy desires yield fuzzy results. 许多人都有这样的问题：并不了解自己在生活中或特定情况下的所需所求。花点时间，想想自己希望从生活事件中获得什么。明确的动机能产生明确的结果，然而模糊不清的欲望只会导致模糊不清的结果。 2.Make A List of Things Your Are Grateful For 2.列举感恩的事情 Tony Robbins, well known life coach and motivational speaker, says that no matter how much money you may have in your accounts, if you are not grateful, you are poor. Gratitude is an amazing emotion in that it is almost impossible to feel negative thoughts when you are focusing on things you are grateful for. Tonny Robbins是一位有名的人生导师和励志演说家，他认为无论你的银行账户有多少存款，如果你不懂感恩，你就是贫穷的人。感恩的心是一种神奇的情感，因为当你专注于你所感恩的事情时，你几乎不可能有负面的情绪。 If you make a list of 10 things that you are grateful for everyday, you will put yourself in a very positive mind set that will last your entire day. 如果每天你都能列举十件感恩的事情，你就能保持积极的心理状态，并且能一整天都感到精神满满。 3.Learn to Count to 5 3. 学会数到5 Most of us spend our lives reacting to events. How we react is usually governed by how we either learned to react or have reacted to similar events in our past. But simply reacting does not allow any room for creative and targeted thinking. 大多数人用其一生纠结于对事物的反应上。我们的反应通常受到这些因素支配：要么是我们学得的如何给出反应，要么是对过往同类事件所做出的反应。不过仅仅作出反应无法让我们具有创造性和针对性的思考。 Next time you find yourself in a situation that presents a challenge to your decision to be more positive, hold your reaction and count to 5. This brief break will give you the opportunity to decide how you want to respond, instead of simply reacting. 下次当你发现自己正拘泥是否该往积极方面思考的情况时，请先别急着做反应，而应先数5秒钟。这个短暂的停顿能让你决定你所希望的反应方式，而不仅仅是草率反应。 4.Cut Back on the Nightly News 4.减少观看夜间新闻的次数 Whichever nightly news program you prefer, you probably are aware of how much negative news is reported. Expose yourself to an abundance of negativity and, like it or not, you will begin to be more negative. 无论你喜欢何种夜间新闻节目，但你应该都能意识到负面新闻的影响。如果你常常观看大量的负面新闻，不管你喜不喜欢，你都会变得越来越消极。 Negativity is like a drug. The more you expose yourself to negativity and negative people, the more you adopt negativity into your life. 负面影响就像毒药。你接触的负面影响和消极的人越多，你就会吸收越多负面能量。 Instead, try to surround yourself with positive people and positive exposures. If you absolutely must know what's going on in the world, read the headlines on an Internet news stream and only read those stories that really effect your world. 相反，多去接触积极向上的人和正面影响的事物。如果你真的很想了解世界正在发生的事情，那就浏览网络信息流的标题，而且单单浏览这些故事标题还确实能达到你的需求。 5.Take Care of Yourself 5.照顾好自己 The benefits of exercise, a healthy diet and getting enough sleep have been well documented. But just knowing about all the benefits does nothing for you unless you actually take action. 早已有文献证明了运动的益处，健康饮食和充足睡眠的好处。不过只知道这些好习惯的益处对你来说仍毫无用处，除非你真的行动起来了。 6.Daily action 6.每日行动 Someone who can exercise but who chooses not to is no better off than someone who cannot exercise. Daily exercise, when coupled with a healthy diet and enough rest can do wonders for your outlook. When you feel good, it really takes effort to make yourself feel bad. 能运动但不运动的人不比不会运动的人有优势。每天的运动，配以健康饮食和充足的休息能让你的人生观产生惊人的变化。当你自我感觉良好，负面的情绪就那么容易影响你了。 7.Track Your Progress 7.记录成长的轨迹 As with any goal, the person who you become as you progress towards your goal is more important than accomplishing the goal itself. As you move towards being a positive thinker, expect that you will have as many "negative thinking" days as you do "positive focused" days. But unless you keep track of your progress, you may not even realize that the numbers of days are shifting more towards the positive and away from the negative. 正如任何目标，你努力希望变成目标的那个人，比你完成这个目标本身重要得多。当你变得越来越积极乐观，你就会预测到你拥有“积极专注”的日子与“负面思考”的日子是一样的。除非你能密切关注自己的进步轨迹，甚至你还没有发现随着时间的推移，你将远离负面走向积极。 What You Need: 你所需要的是： A list of your goals 目标计划表 A journal 一本日记本 A committment to living a more positive-thought based life. 希望以更积极的态度生活的决心。 本双语文章的中文翻译系沪江英语原创内容。中文翻译仅代表沪江译者个人观点，仅供参考。 Music: Tom Barabas - Traces of Time Rachel Taylor - Light A Fire
