3. Don't worry about what others are thinking
3.不必擔心別人的想法

I used to be very self-conscious about my dancing. I would rarely go out with my friends, and even if I did, I wouldn't dance, instead just standing awkwardly by the side, because I was worried of what others would think.
我曾經(jīng)對自己的舞技感到非常羞愧,因此很少與朋友外出。即使出去我也不跳舞,僅僅笨笨的站在一邊。因為我擔心別人嘲笑。

Then, one day in high school, I decided that enough was enough. So the next time I went out with my friends, I just went to the dance floor, and danced like nobody was watching. And the funny thing was - nobody cared. In fact, people only liked me MORE, because I was having fun.
然而有一天我在學校里重重的下了決心,決定要改變這一現(xiàn)狀。下一次和朋友們出去的時候,我走進了舞池,旁若無人的跳舞。有意思的是并沒有人注意到我。實際上他們還想看我再跳,因為覺得我有意思。

Don't worry about what others are thinking of you - most likely they're too busy wondering what others are thinking of them.
不要擔心別怎么看你,可能他們還在擔心別人會怎么看他們呢。

4. List 3 things you love about your situation right now
4.列出3件你喜愛的事情

I first shared this technique with the Positivity Blog readers in my post The Plague of Happiness Ever After (it's got a dragon and everything in it, read it!)
我是在Positivity Blog中的The Plague of Happiness Ever After文章中第一次和讀者分享這個技巧的。

Just list 3 simple things about any part of your life that you love. Like “3 simple things I love about the room I'm in right now”, or “3 simple things I love about this week”, or anything else.
僅僅是列出生活中你喜愛的3件簡單的事情,如:這個屋子我最喜歡的3個地方,或這個星期我最喜歡的3件事,或是其他的什么。

This is a great technique if you're ever bored while stuck in traffic, or waiting in the grocery store checkout lane. You can immediately transform boredom into happiness and peace of mind!
在你堵車或排隊而感到無聊的時候這個技巧就會顯得尤為有用,你能立即把無聊的感覺一掃而光,取而代之的是幸福和平靜。

5. Walk to a window, look outside, and take a single deep breath
5 走向窗前望向窗外,深呼吸。

I got this technique from the Zen master Mary Jaksch. Just walk to a window, look outside, and then take a single deep breath, focusing only on that breath and nothing else in the whole world. This technique sounds extremely simple, but you won't believe how much it can instantaneously increase your peace of mind.
我從禪師Mary Jaksch那里學到的這個技巧。僅僅是走向窗前望向窗外,深呼吸。將注意力集中到這次呼吸上并忘掉其他的一切。這聽起來及其簡單,但是你很難想象這樣做能立即給你帶來平靜的心情。

And because this is the last tip, you can try it immediately when you finish reading this blog post. Just walk to a window, look outside, and take a single deep breath, focusing on the air going in and out of your lungs, and nothing else.
這也是最后一個技巧,你可以在讀完這篇文章后馬上試一試。忘掉一切,體會空氣在肺里的進出。
