當你忘了初衷,試試這六件事找回最初的自己
在步入社會前跟步入社會後的我們絕對是不一樣的,現實往往不如我們想像的那樣美好,甚至可能會讓你覺得社會很黑暗、人心很險惡,但即便如此,這世界還是充滿希望,因為還是有很多激勵人心的成功故事不斷地激勵著我們。
當你忘了初衷,試試這六件事找回最初的自己。
一、做自己
人生最難的是做自己、瞭解自己,人生就是一個不斷尋找自我的過程,即使出了社會,仍然別忘了要做自己,只有做自己才能堅持自己的價值觀與理念。
“你問我對“35而立”的詮釋是什麼?我覺得是回來做自己。
二、別活在他人的期待之下
在我們生活周遭裡,會令人失望的事情往往是我們對他人有了錯誤的期待,例如期待別人喜歡你、尊敬你,但這樣的期待其實不必要,減少你對其他人的期望,將大大減少不必要的挫折和痛苦,並幫助你重新關注你真正需要關注的問題。
三、做自己熱愛的事
“快樂就是:活在今天,面對現實,駕馭自己,接受別人,熱愛生命”。人生最重要的是做自己熱愛的事,永遠別忘了什麼事情對你來說最重要。
生命要有熱情、有理想、有目標,同時別忘了初衷。
四、一趟旅行
旅行是重新讓自己心靈充電、找回自己初衷的好方法,
有時候簡單的一趟旅行,便有可能因此改變你原先的想法。
五、離開舒適區
人只有在壓力下才能夠快速成長,學著讓自己跳脫舒適圈,人如果過得太安逸則進步就停止了。“怠惰是貧窮的製造廠;人不能奢望同時是偉大的而又是舒適的。重要的是要勤勉,因為只有勤勉,才不僅會給人提供生活的手段,而且能給人提供生活上的唯一價值”。
當你在舒適區待的太久,便會容易忘記自己過去曾經擁有的夢想,讓你漸漸失去改變自我的能力,試著離開舒適區,去做自己想做的事。
六、勇敢冒險
“生命就是必須迎接的挑戰、應該獲得的幸福與值得嘗試的冒險”。
生命中任何值得做的事都必須冒險,去做、去冒險,去不斷測試自己的天賦和潛在能力有多大。
即使出了社會,仍然別忘了做自己,勇於改變、接受挑戰,最重要的是,別忘了自己的初衷。
哈佛大學推薦20個快樂的習慣
1. Be grateful.
要學會感恩。
Slow down, look around you, and pay attention to the little details in your life – the delicate purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, the hot shower that washes away your long day, and the smile in your partner’s eyes…
讓自己變慢腳步,看看你的四周,關注生活中的細微之處:人行道上淡紫色的花,美麗的日落,洗去你一天疲憊的淋浴,伴侶眼中的笑容。
When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beautify, wonder and blessings, you’re automatically filled with happiness.
當你的感恩之心能夠欣賞生活的美,思考和祝福,你自然就充滿了幸福感。
2. Choose your friends wisely.
明智的選擇自己的朋友。
According to Harvard, the most important external factors affecting individual happiness are human relationships. So if you want to be happy, choose to be around people who are optimistic, who appreciate you as you are, and who can make your life richer, bigger, more fun, and more meaningful.
根據哈佛,影響個人幸福最重要的外部因素是人際關係。
3. Cultivate compassion.
培養同情心。
When we try to step into other people’s shoes and understand a situation from another’s perspective, we’re more likely to handle the situation with compassion, objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more happiness.
當我們代替別人,站在另一個角度看問題,我們更能用同情心,客觀和有效的處理問題。生活中就會少一些衝突,多一點快樂。
4. Keep learning.
不斷學習。
Learning keeps us young and dreams keep us alive. When we engage our brains and put them toward productive uses, we’re less likely to dwell on unhappy thoughts and much more likely to feel happy and fulfilled.
學習讓我們保持年輕,夢想讓我們充滿活力。我們運用大腦,進行運作的時候,我們就不大會想不開心心的事情,我們會變得更開心和滿足。
5. Become a problem solver.
學會解決問題。
Happy people are problem solvers. When they encounter a challenge in life, they don’t beat themselves up and fall into a depressive state. Instead, they face up to the challenge and channel their energies toward finding creative a solution. By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever it is you set your mind to – and whatever challenges life throws your way.
開心的人是會解決問題的人。在生活中遇到挑戰的時候,他們不會自虐,然後變得很消沉。他們會直面挑戰,調動全身力量尋找解決辦法。通過變成一個解決問題的人,你會建立自己的自信心和下決心要的事情和直面挑戰的能力。
6. Do what you love.
做你想做的事情。
Since we spend over one-third of our adult life working, loving what we do has a huge impact on our overall happiness. If this is not possible at the moment, then try to find enjoyment and meaning in your current work, or cultivate a hobby that involves doing something you love.
既然我們成人生活的三分之一時間都在工作,那麼做我們想做的事對我們的整體辛福感就有很大的影響。如果現在不能做你想做的事情,那就試著在你現在的工作中尋找快樂和意義,或者培養一個你喜愛的興趣。
7. Live in the present.
活在當下。
When you feel depressed, you’re living in the past. When you feel worried or anxious, you’re living in the future. But when you feel content, happy and peaceful, you’re living in the present.
你感到沮喪,是因為你活在過去。你會感到擔憂和焦慮,是因為你活在未來。但是當你感到滿足,開心和平和時,你才是活在當下。
8. Laugh often.
要經常笑。
Laughter is the most powerful anecdote to anger or depression. Research has shown that the simple act of curving the corners of your mouth can increase your feeling of happiness. So don’t take life too seriously. Try to find humor and laughter in life’s everyday struggles.
笑是對抗生氣或沮喪最有力的的東西。研究表明簡單的嘴巴上揚也可以增加你的幸福感。不要把生活看的太嚴肅。要學會在每日的奮鬥中尋找幽默感和笑聲。
9. Practice forgiveness.
學會原諒。
Resentment and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. And most importantly, learn to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to become a bigger and better person.
憎恨和生氣是對自我的懲罰。
10. Say thanks often.
要經常說謝謝。
Always be appreciative of the blessings in your life. And it’s equally important to express your appreciation to those who’ve made your life better in some way, big or small.
對生活中的祝福要學會欣賞。向那些讓你生活變好的人,無論或大或小,表達出你的欣賞之情也同樣重要。
11. Create deeper connections.
學會深交。
Our happiness multiplies when we connect and bond with another human being on a deeper level. And being fully present and listening are two of the most important skills to strengthening that bond and bringing happiness to ourselves, and to others.
我們的幸福感會在和另一個人的深交中不斷猛增。專注聆聽是加強這種關係紐帶和把幸福感帶給自己和別人的兩個最重要的方面。
12. Keep your agreement.
守承諾。
Our self-esteem is built on the agreements we’ve made with ourselves. And high self-esteem has a direct correlation to happiness. So keep your agreements with others and with yourself.
我們的自尊是建立在我們對自己守承諾的情況下。高度的自尊和幸福感有直接關聯。所以要對自己和別人遵守承諾。
13. Meditate.
冥想。
According to Harvard, people who take 8 sessions of mindfulness meditation training are, on average, 20% happier than a control group. Such training can lead to structural brain changes including increased grey-matter density in the hippocampus, known to be important for learning and memory, and in structures associated with self-awareness, compassion and introspection.
根據哈佛,平均上,上過8次冥想訓練的人要比控制狂多開心20%。這樣的訓練可以導致大腦結構變化,包括海馬體黑色物質的密度,其對學習和記憶很重要,在結構上和自我意識,同情心和反省。
14. Focus on what you’re doing.
關注你在做的事情。
When you put your mind, heart and soul into what you’re doing, you’re creating a happiness state – called the “flow.” When you’re living in the flow, you’re less likely to care about what others may think of you, and less bothered by things that are not that important. The result? More happiness, of course!
當你全身心投入一件事的時候,你就會處於一個開心的狀態。當我們處於這種狀態,你就不大會關心別人對你怎麼看,不大會被不大重要的事情干擾。結果呢?更幸福,當然啦!
15. Be optimistic.
要樂觀。
For happy people, the glass is always half-full. If your tendency is to imagine the very worst-case scenario every time you face a challenge, then train yourself to reverse that tendency. Ask yourself what good can come out of the situation or what you can learn from it. Optimism surely fuels success and happiness.
對於開心的人來說,玻璃都一直是半滿的。每當你面對一個挑戰時,如果你傾向於想像最壞的想法,那就自我轉換這種情況。告訴你自己一個狀況中的好處或者你從中學到的東西。樂觀肯定能驅動成功和幸福感。
16. Love unconditionally.
無條件的愛。
No one is perfect. Accept yourself for all of your imperfections. And do so for others. Loving someone unconditionally does not mean that you need to spend all your time with them or help them figure out their problems. Unconditional love means accepting people as they are, and allowing them to find their own ways, at their own pace.
沒人是完美的。接受你自己所有的不完美。也要這樣對待別人。無條件的愛一個人並不意味著你要花所有的時間和他們在一起,或者幫助他們解決問題。無條件的愛意味著接受真實的他們,以他們自己的步伐,讓他們自己摸索。
17. Don’t give up.
不要放棄。
Unfinished projects and repeated defeats inevitably dampen one’s self-esteem. If you’ve made up your mind to do something, see it through. Don’t give up until you succeed. Remember, failure is temporary but defeat is permanent. And defeat only occurs when you give up.
沒有完成的方案和不斷的失敗不可避免的會削弱你的自尊。如果你決定做某事,做完它。在成功之前都不要放棄。要記住,失敗是暫時的,打敗的永存的。只有當你放棄的時候,你才會被打敗。
18. Do your best and then let go.
做最好的自己,然後放手。
Everyone has limitations, and things don’t always turn out to be what we’d like them to be – despite our efforts. So always give your best, and then let go. Let events run their course. When you’ve done your best, you’ll have no regrets.
每個人都有局限性。而且有時候儘管我們很努力做一件事情,但是總會事與願違。所以做最好的自己,然後放手。當你盡了全力,你就沒有遺憾了。
19. Take care of yourself.
好好照顧自己。
A healthy body is the key to happiness. If you have poor health, it’s very difficult to be happy no matter how hard you try. So make sure you eat well, exercise and find time to rest. Take good care of your body, your mind and your spirit.
一個健康的身體是幸福的關鍵。如果你身體不好,你無論如何努力,都很難快樂。確信自己吃得好,做鍛煉,找點時間休息。好好照顧你的身體,大腦和精神。
20. Give back.
學會給予。
Doing good is one of the surest ways to feel good. According to Harvard, when people do good, their brains becomes active in the very same reward center that is stimulated when they experience other rewards. So it’s not a surprise that people who care more about others are happier than those who care less about others.
做好事是最能確保你心情好的方法之一。根據哈佛,人們做好事,他們的大腦變得活躍,就好像當你經歷別的獎勵時,大腦所受的刺激。所以,那些關心別人的人要比不大關心別人的人更開心。
十種動人至深的生活態度
1、磨亮想像力:
要更有創意,就要像孩子般地思考,比如重看一本最喜歡的童書,學習小孩子的思考方式;或者讀一首詩,在心裡想像它的意境;一邊聽廣播的古典音樂、爵士樂或世界音樂,一邊想像音樂所傳達的景致……都可以提升想像力。
2、讓快樂貼身相隨:
快樂的人會微笑或哼唱,甚至吹口哨,有快樂的想法,你就會飛起來。專注地想快樂的事,讓自己產生向上飛躍的力量。日積月累,快樂會變成一種習慣。
3、可以不完美:
每個人天生不同,接受自己,也同樣接受別人,用慈悲心訓練自己愛缺憾中美麗的事物。
4、試試雙手的力量:
人生的意義在於創造,藝術可以提升人的生命境界,每做一件事,記得多加些巧思,在每件所做的事情上,發揮才能,加入你自己。親自動手做,享受四肢勞動的樂趣,即使是簡單的維修工作都是原創的藝術品。
5、做自己的心靈捕手:
把實現自己生命第一優先考慮,善待內在的小孩,給他勇氣、信心和生命,想念自己,做你自己,寬恕自己,對自己負責,善用感覺,熱情行動,活出真正的自己。
6、簡單生活:
你真正需要的不是那麼多,多出來的任何一樣東西對別人都有用,將它送出去,或是捐出去義賣,讓真正需要的人善用,簡單生活慣之後,生命自然不再累贅。
7、找尋老友:
愛情常來來去去,朋友總是越陳越香。曾經同甘共苦的朋友是上帝給的禮贊,花點時間列出老朋友清單,撥個電話聊聊或訪友,尋回那曾有的感動與契合。
8、別對你的人生說沒空:
日常生活需要良性迴圈,人生只有一次,休息是為了走更遠的路。每個月定出一天可以徹底休息,放自己一天假。
9、適當地自私:
你有權主導自己的生活,你有全權對別人的要求說不,你有權對批評你或貶低你的人表示意見,你有權和別人分享你的感情,收加生活控制權。
10、再試一下:
人生最大的壓力來源是怕壓力,當你相信自己能、而能面對事情時,這已是一個好的開端,一切的多慮都將消失,你終會發現事情並不棘手難辦,別人能,當然,你也能。
這樣的訓練可以導致大腦結構變化,包括海馬體黑色物質的密度,其對學習和記憶很重要,在結構上和自我意識,同情心和反省。 14. Focus on what you’re doing.
