| When we’re thinking about future goals and ambitions, it’s easy to end up in quite a negative mood about the present. Perhaps you start thinking through all the things you want to change in your life: losing weight, getting fit, quitting smoking, switching jobs…
当我们想到未来的目标和理想时,我们很容易对当下陷入一种消极的情绪中。也许你开始想到生活中你想改变的所有事情:减肥、健身、戒烟、换工作等等。
As well as thinking of what you might want to change, look at the areas of your life which are currently good. Maybe:
在想到你想要改变的这些事情的同时,也看看现在的生活中已经很好的部分,也许是:
1. You get on well with your colleagues at work, and you’ve got a good relationship with your boss
你跟同事相处得非常融洽,跟老板的关系也很好;
2. You’ve got some real strengths – like being able to establish a quick connection with clients, and being organised
你已经培养了一些真正的优势:比方说能很快的与客户建立联系,而且比较有条理;
3. Your house is set up pretty much how you want it – there might not be loads of space, but it feels like home
家里的构造正是你一直想要的:可能空间不大,但非常有家的温馨;
…and so on. How could you make more of these good things? Perhaps you could spend more time on your hobbies, or concentrate on your particular strengths at work.
还有很多。这些好的方面应该如何利用呢?也许你可以在自己的爱好上花更多的时间,或在工作上专注于自己的特长。 |
