Slowing down

慢下来

Be present.

关注当前。

It’s not enough to just slow down—you need to actually be mindful of whatever you’re doing at the moment.

光慢下来是不够的——你需要留意当前你所做的任何事情。

That means, when you find yourself thinking about something you need to do, or something that’s already happened, or something that might happen…gently bring yourself back to the present moment.

也就是说，当你发现自己正在思考你该干什么，或者已经发生地事情，或者可能会发生的事情……缓慢的将你自己拉回到当前。

Focus on what’s going on right now. On your actions, on your environment, on others around you. This takes practice but is essential.

关注现在正在发生地事情。对于你的行动，对于你周围的环境，对于你周围的其他人你都应该这样。这需要一定的练习，但是也是最根本的东西。

【知识点讲解】

bring back 带回（某人或某物）； 还回（某物）； 回忆[回顾，回想起]（往事）； 使（某人）恢复（某状态）
