如何掌控自己的情绪?

当事情出现问题时

So when things go wrong

有一个规则:

we have a rule

情绪消极是很正常的

It's okay to be negative

但别超过五分钟

but not for more than five minutes

你有五分钟的时间发牢骚、抱怨、哭泣、抱怨

You get five minutes to bitch,moan,complain,cry

甚至是打墙之类的

vent punch a wall,whatever

五分钟后

and after five minutes

深呼吸一口气

you take a deep breath

说出最有力的话

and say three really powerful words

"改变不了什么"

"Can't change it"

这句话只是要让我知道

And it's simply an acknowledgment

我不能改变已经发生过的事情

that l can't change what's already happened

所以希望事情变得不同是没有意义的

so there's no value in wishing it were different

当我问:"有多少人认为"

"How many of you think this"

"这是一个非常有力的想法"

"is really a powerful idea"

"但是实际行动起来却很困难的做法?"

"but it's easier said than done?

每个人都会举起手说

and everybody's hand goes up like

这太疯狂了

"yeah this is crazy right"

道理我都明白

yeah l get it

但就是做不到

but I don't how l can't do that

这是因为

and it's because

我们已经为自己预设好

we've programmed ourselves

每当生活中遇到逆境时

over our entire lives

我们都得用消极的方式面对它

the way we respond to adversity is the way we respond to adversity right

我们完全可以掌握自己的情绪

We are completely in control of our emotional state

而且如果你想让自己的情绪

and the key that unlocks the door

不受任何事情的影响

to emotional invincibility

唯一的方法就是坦然接受它

If you will is acceptance
