压⼒的⾃我管理——5个简单⽅法让你“淡定”
While explaining stress management to an audience, the lecturer raid a glass of water and asked 'How heavy is this glass of water?' Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
当向听众解释压⼒管理的时候，讲师拿起⼀杯⽔问道：这杯⽔有多重？20克到500克众说纷纭。
The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each ca, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
讲师回答说：实际有多重并不重要，这要看我拿着它的时间。⼀分钟，没有问题。如果⼀个⼩时呢，我的右臂就会疼痛。再进⼀步，⼀天，你应该给我叫救护车了。当然每种情况下杯⼦的重量是相同的，但是我拿的越久，它就显得越沉。
He continued, “And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.”
他继续说道：这就像压⼒管理，如果总是怀揣沉重的负担，随着压⼒越来越⼤，迟早我们会崩溃掉。
“As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.”
正如这杯⽔⼀样，你需要放下它休息⼀下，调整⾃⼰，继续前⾏。
“So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pic
地的成语接龙k it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can.”
所以，今晚在各位回家之前，放下⼯作上的负担。不要把它带到家⾥去，你可以明天继续肩负。⽆论你背负怎样的负担，如果可能，暂时忘掉它们。
Here are 5 simple ways to increa your peace of mind:
这⾥有5个简单的⽅法，能为你带来平静的⼼情。
1. Do your most daunting task first thing in the morning
1.将最艰巨的任务放在早晨。
荒凉的拼音
It's tempting to start your day with easy tasks. Don't. Pushing a daunting task back is like holding a glass of water in an outstretched arm. At first nothing happens, but if you do it for hours or even days, you will soon feel the stress. Do the most
annoying task first thing in the morning, and enjoy incread productivity and peace of mind for the rest of the day.
⼈们总是倾向于⽤简单的任务开始⼀天的⼯作，别这样做。将艰巨的任务拖到后⾯就像你伸开⼿臂举着杯⼦，开始没什么，但是随着时间的推移，你会很快感觉到压⼒。将最艰巨的任务放在早晨，这样你就能享受到效率提升及⼀天中剩下时间的平静带来的惬意。
2. Let go of things you don't control
2.放开你不能控制的事情
You make plans to go outside with friends. But at the last minute, it starts raining. What's your reaction?
你和朋友计划好外出，但是最后关头下⾬了，这时你会怎么想？
Some people upt and angry, and find the nearest person and start complaining to them. “It's not FAIR that it's raining. This _always_ happens to me!…”
有些⼈会因此⽽失望、愤怒，然后跟周围的⼈抱怨：这不公平，为什么这种事总是让我遇到！
That's not going to accomplish anything - the rain won't stop just becau you throw a tantrum. *The rain doesn't care.* So make the best of the situation. What I do in such situation is go for a quick walk in the park (becau rain has its own awesomeness), or just lie in bed reading a good Terry Pratchett book, listening to the rain beating on my window.
没什么可抱怨的，⾬不会因为你抱怨⽽停⽌，⽼天才不在乎。这种情况下我会到公园⾥散步（因为⾬也很有魅⼒），或者躺在床上⼀边读Terry Pratchett的书，⼀边听着⾬⽔打在窗户上的声⾳。
Make the most of what you do control, and don't worry about what you don't.
将你能掌控的事情做到最好，但也不⽤太在意不能左右的事情。

东芝机械硬盘3.不必担⼼别⼈的想法
I ud to be very lf-conscious about my dancing. I would rarely go out with my friends, and even if I did, I wouldn't dance, instead just standing awkwardly by the side, becau I was worried of what others would think.
我曾经对⾃⼰的舞技感到⾮常羞愧，因此很少与朋友外出。即使出去我也不跳舞，仅仅笨笨的站在⼀边。因为我担⼼别⼈嘲笑。
小英语怎么说Then, one day in high school, I decided that enough was enough. So the next time I went out with my friends, I just went to the dance floor, and danced like nobody was watching. And the funny thing was - nobody cared. In fact, people only liked me MORE, becau I was having fun.
然⽽有⼀天我在学校⾥重重的下了决⼼，决定要改变这⼀现状。下⼀次和朋友们出去的时候，我⾛进了舞池，旁若⽆⼈的跳舞。有意思的是并没有⼈注意到我。实际上他们还想看我再跳，因为觉得我有意思。
Don't worry about what others are thinking of you - most likely they're too busy wondering what others are thinking of them.
