让我们一起行动起来,消灭那些我们经常告诉自己的消极想法吧!如果你不改变想法,而是一味地沉浸在消极的念头中,那么,我们的整个身心就会受到影响,因为“噩梦”也会成真。
1.I'mnotgoodenough.
我不够好。

这种消极想法有很多类型。比如你认为自己不是个称职的妈妈或不擅长运动。即使你真的发现了自己的弱点,也没必要对自己不断复述。人脑是神奇的。吉尔泰勒就是个激励的好典型,她是哈佛大学的神经系统学专家,中风后她就失去了行走、阅读、书写、交谈的能力了,甚至还失忆了。她花了八年的时间复原,用自己的经历写了畅销书,还上了奥普拉的节目。坚持做一件事,亲眼见证自己的变化。
2.Noonecaresaboutme.
没人关心我。

家人朋友都不关心你,这种情况其实不太常见。可能你过于消极的想法使你忽略了他们对你表达的爱。他们甚至并不需要为你做什么惊天动地的大事,正是一些小事才真正打动人心。或者你觉得没人关心你,所以无需再经营人际关系,但其实也许人们只有在感知到你的付出后,才会对你进行回报;关心别人,别人才会关心你。如果你和周围人的关系处理不好,为何不结交些新朋友?
3.Ireallydislikethisperson.
我真的不喜欢这个人。
Ifyoudislikeapersoninyourworkorpersonallife,focusingonherbadqualitiesisnotgoingtomakethingsbetter.Youneedtoletgoofyourassumptionsaboutherandknowthatsheishumantoo,whichmeansshemakesmistakes.Eitheryoumoveonandstopthinkingandtalkingabouther,orlearntoapproachherorthinkaboutherinapositivemanner.Focusonhergoodqualities,andrepeatthemtoyourselfinsteadofhoninginontheunpleasantthings.
如果工作或生活中有你讨厌的人,只关注她的缺点有害无益。你需要放下对她的所有成见,告诉自己她也是个人,也有犯错的时候。要么就不再谈论她和想着她,要么学着去接近她,或想想她好的一面。多想想她的`优点,不要再专注于让你不开心的事情。
4.Whyisshebetteroff?
为什么她比我好?

和别人比较永远不是有效率和积极的表现。总有比你年轻,漂亮,聪明,富有的人。如果你始终关注别人拥有什么,会带来你对他们的恨意,随即带来更多消极的想法。记住,你所拥有的也是他们所没有的。珍惜你所拥有的东西,如果真的想和别人比较,也别忘了总有比你差的人。
5.I'llneverreachmygoal.
我永远无法达到目标。

如果你认为自己达不到,再想想。比你差的人比比皆是,他们遇到的困难也比你的更大。比如,奥运会短跑选手刀锋战士奥斯卡·皮斯托利斯,一个被截肢的运动员,战胜了自己的阻碍,在其他健壮的对手中脱颖而出赢得了奥运会的冠军。只要你努力付出,有着积极的信念,任何事都能够做到。

在我餐厅的抽屉里放着几根蜡烛。它们会用于浪漫的晚餐和一些特殊的场合,但是自从我的三个孩子出生之后,它们便被遗忘在餐巾纸和其他杂物之间了。它们一直在等待着被拿出抽屉,被点亮,以和任何一个愿意花费时间去感受它们温暖的人分享那些光亮。
我们的灵魂不也像蜡烛么?耐心地等待有人来发掘我们,让我们发光发亮。我们一直等待着发光发亮的一刻;我们都有自己独特的光亮,是别人所不能匹及的。
蜡烛由蜡状物和蜡烛心组合而成;人类有肉体,而我们的本质却存在于精神和灵魂中。蜡烛有它们独一无二的颜色、形状和图案。我们生命的历史和经历是决定我们是谁的大背景,但是只有我们的心灵才是蜡烛心,使热情形成火焰。与在抽屉里等着别人一时的兴致来决定是否被点燃的蜡烛不同,我们可以决定自己的思想,决定自己能够发光发亮还是黯淡无光。
你心中的那支蜡烛是否因环境或者缺少激情,没有方向感而黯淡无光?它是否藏匿于压力、担忧和怨恨的抽屉里?做出选择吧,以自己注定的方式去发光。
