3. Expand our comfort zone. There are three important zones where we can be situated: the comfort zone, the learning zone and the panic zone. Let’s think of it as three circles one inside another. The unexpected gets us out of the comfort zone and into the learning zone which leads to the panic zone. It was proved by scientists that operating on the edge of our comfort zone is the best place to learn and grow. As long as we are “inside” it’s ok, but if we face a new and different situation we get out of these zones and move into the panic zone. We have to learn how to behave and how to manage the new situations without being afraid of taking wrong decisions. After all, is practice and learning that make these transitions less scary, resulting in an expansion of the comfort zone.
3.拓展我们的舒适区域。以下是几个三个重要的区域:舒适区域,学习区域和不安区域。让我们尝试着想像一下,这三个区域就是三个圈,而且这三个圈是一个套在一个里面的。那些意想不到的事情把我们带出了舒适区域,带进了学习区域,而学习区域正是通向不安区域的。科学家们证实了,扩展我们的舒适区域是学习和成长最有效的一个办法。只要我们的“内在”没有问题。但假如我们面临新的问题,我们会从那些区域里出来,进入到不安区域。因此,我们不得不学习怎么处理这种新情况,怎么样不会害怕做出错误的决定。毕竟,只有不断的学习与锻炼才能让我们不再感到害怕,从而拓宽了我们的舒适区域。
4. When you want to give up, do one more step. This step is about pushing our limits and becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable. We never know we will succeed unless we actually try.
4.当我们想要放弃是,多走那么一步。这一步具体是指,发挥我们的极限,并且把对此产生的不安转换为习以为常。只有真正尝试了,我们才能知道我们到底能不能做到。
5. Do not avoid or postpone tasks and activities. I often find myself postponing and delaying certain activities just because I am afraid of the result. In the end, we still have to do that thing and with time passing it might become even harder and we won’t get rid of it. More that that the pressure and the stress will become more intense. So let’s do things at the right time and feel a great release indifferent the result.
5.不要回避或者延缓任务或者活动。我发现我经常会延迟具体的某些活动,之所以会这样是因为我害怕随之而产生的结果。其实,我们迟早还是要去做这件事的,而且拖得越晚可能就越难完成。越是晚,越会感到压力大,从而会更紧张。所以说,我们还是在该做某件事的时候把这件事做完吧,同时还能产生一种解脱感。
