第417期:5条小贴士你助你摆脱焦虑

 　　耐心是一种金子般的品质，它和自信同样非常重要的影响着一个人的成就。因为只有耐心的人，才能坚持，持续的做一件事情。正如英国著名的英国政治家和政论作家乔治·萨维尔曾说：A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else.(控制好耐心的人，便可驾驭一切。)要如何才能拥有耐心呢？今天我们就来分享一些小贴士。

　　New Words

　　counteract¹ vt. 抵消；中和；阻碍

　　speed up 加速；使加速

　　perspective n. 观点；远景；透视图

　　rail vi. 抱怨；责骂

　　1.Understand And Counteract Your Triggers

　　理解并消除（不耐心）的起因

　　Impatience² is something which is triggered. This trigger is different for everybody but it has the same purpose. To become more patient try to "understand" what your trigger is.

　　Once you understand what your trigger is you can work on counteracting³ it by doing calming exercises or techniques whenever you feel the trigger building up

　　不耐烦是有诱因。而诱因对每个人来说都不同，但目的相同（都是让你变得不耐烦）。要变得更耐心，试着“理解”你的“诱因”是什么。

　　一旦你明白了诱因，每当你感到就要不耐烦时，就可以通过做静思或是其他手段消除它。

　　2. Build Self-Confidence

　　建立自信

　　Impatience usually appears when one feels down, when you don't feel in control or perhaps feel that your hands are tied. A person with a high level of confidence will accept the situation as it is; they will not fight it or rail against it. Rather, they will work with it.

　　一个人感到沮丧，失控或是受到束缚的时候就会不耐烦。而一个有高度自信的人会接受现状，不会和这种现状抗争。相反，他们会想办法解决这种困境。

　　3. Put On Your "Positive" Glasses

　　戴上你的“正能量”眼镜

　　Patience is all about perspective and how you look at situations.

　　耐心其实就是你要通过怎样的角度去看待事物。

　　For example if you miss your bus don`t focus on the negatives but emphasize the positive things such as you`ll get exercise from walking or that you can enjoy the fresh air. So try to put a positive spin on everything you do; you will find that you will not just reduce tension but you`ll become a much happier person.

　　比如，如果你错过了公共汽车，不要把注意力放在负面影响上上，而要强调积极的方面，比如步行时锻炼身体，可以享受新鲜空气。所以，试着对你所做的每件事都抱着积极的态度，你会发现你就不会那么紧张，而且你会成为一个更快乐的人。

　　4. Change Your Attitude

　　改变你的态度

　　Most people struggling with patience can never answer this question.

　　"Why are you in such a hurry?" Try to keep an open perspective and don't give yourself useless stress.

　　大多数有耐心的人都无法回答这个问题。“你为什么这么匆忙？” 试着保持开放的心态，不要给自己带来无用的压力。

　　5. Periodically Release Tension and Stress

　　定期释放紧张情绪和压力

　　To release your pressure, try things such as the following:

　　Exercising

　　Breathing Exercises

　　10 Minute Yoga Sessions

　　可以尝试下面的方法释放压力：

　　锻炼

　　呼吸练习

　　10分钟瑜伽练习
