Ways To Manage Stress Creatively

管理压力

You don’t have to be a“tortured”artist.

并不是只有“苦难”才能出诗人

It’s easy to use drugs, alcohol, and other crutches to“enhance”our creativity. We’re too disoriented to be thinking about the future, or the past, and we just focus on what’s directly in front of us. We can express ourselves without these crutches.

用药物、酒精或者其他的辅助品通常能很容易地“增强”我们的创造力。因为它们把我们弄迷糊了，让我们看不到未来和过去，只能着眼于当下。（其实只要主动着眼于当下）我们即使不用这些东西也能发挥自己的创造力。

Take care of your self. Mind AND Body.

照顾好你自己，心灵与身体都要。

Putting my creativity and my work first, I often neglected to eat, exercise, even stand up from my desk. I spent the whole year in non-stop pain–constant doctors which only caused me to feel depressed, sad and useless. I now realize that how I feel physically (and mentally) is more important than the work I create. Taking care of myself includes all natural remedies such as acupuncture, herbs and vitamins as my only form of medicine. I’m learning how to say no to social pressures, in favor of my own well being.

我曾把创造力和工作放在第一，经常忽视吃饭，锻炼，甚至从桌边站起来。我花了整整一年的时间不停地找医生治疗，而这些只会让我感到沮丧、悲伤和无助。我现在意识到，比起我创作的作品，身心健康更为重要。我照顾自己的方法包括所有的自然疗法，如针灸、草药和维生素（唯一可以算药物的东西）。为了有利于我自己的幸福，我在学习如何对社会压力说“不”。
