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，我們常常會關(guān)上心門；世界不僅沒能慰藉我們，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

5、gh us. 當(dāng)生活中出現(xiàn)痛苦的事情時，別再逃跑或隱藏痛苦，試著擁抱它吧；當(dāng)悲傷來襲時，試著深呼吸，然后直面它。如果我們一味逃避生活中的悲傷，悲傷只會變得更強(qiáng)烈更真實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)歷過焦灼的煎熬感，也都感受過恐懼造成的生理反應(yīng)：脖子僵硬、胃酸翻騰。其實，我們有能力面對這些痛苦的感受，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.

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. 其實很多決定或行動都是我們一念之間的結(jié)果：要是追問原因的話，恐怕我們自己也道不清說不明，只是感到直覺如此罷了。而這種直覺恰好是我們探索結(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?” 開始前先做幾次深呼吸，問自己：“內(nèi)心認(rèn)為該做什么樣的決定呢？覺得采取哪個方案最恰當(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.

13、questions: 很多人在成長過程中都或多或少養(yǎng)成期望的性格，比如快樂、同情、愛心以及激情等等；與此同時，我們也會陷入消極壓抑的品性。這時，你就要問問自己： What parts of myself could I do without? 我有哪些可以完全拋棄的性格？ How do I get in my own way? 有哪些品性會妨礙我的成長？ Is there anything Im hiding from myself? 我對自己是不是足夠誠實坦白？ Dont be afraid of what comes out; you might want to run from the
