每日英语|学会活在当下

Learn to live in the present moment. To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live on the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are一always!Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about variety of things- all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns dominate your present moments, so much so that we end up anxious,frustrated,depressed, and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities,and our happiness,often convincing that“ someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that 'someday' never actually arrives.Jhon Lennone once said, "Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans." When we are busy making 'other plans', our children are busy growing up.

学会生活在当下。我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在现实之中所决定的。不管昨天或去年发生了什么，不管明天可能发生或不发生什么，现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处。毫无疑问，我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术，即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种种事情担心忧虑上——而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情。我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活，以至我们整日焦虑不安，委靡不振，甚至沮丧绝望。而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感，推迟我们应优先考虑的事情，推迟我们的幸福感，常常说服自己"有朝一日"会比今天更好。不幸的是，如此告戒我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去，以至"有朝一日"不会真的来临。约翰.列侬曾经说过: "生活就是当我们忙于制定别的计划时发生的事。"当我们忙于指定种种"别的计划"时，我们的孩子在忙于长大。
