生活在此時此刻新概念英語經(jīng)典美文To a large degree ，the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the presentmoment.Irrespectiveof whathappened yesterday or lastyear ，and what may or may nothappen tomorrow ，thepresentmoment iswhere you are always.我們內(nèi)心是否平和在很大程度上是由我們是否能生活在現(xiàn)實之中所決定的。不管昨天或去年發(fā)生了什么，不管明天可能發(fā)生或不發(fā)生什么，現(xiàn)實才是你時時刻刻所在之處。Without question ，many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety ofthings all at once.We allow past problems and futureconcerns to dominate our present moments，so much so that weend up anxious，frustrated，depressed ，and hopeless.毫無疑問，我們很多人掌握了一種神經(jīng)兮兮的藝術(shù)，即把生活中的大部分時間花在為種種事情擔心憂慮上- 而且常常是同時憂慮許多事情。我們聽憑過去的麻煩和未來的擔心控制我們此時此刻的生活，以致我們整日焦慮不安，萎靡不振，甚至沮喪絕望。On the flip side，we also postpone our gratification，our stated priorities，and our happiness，often convincingourselves thatsomedaywill be better thantoday.Unfortunately，the same mental dynamics thattellus tolook toward the future will only repeat themselves so that"someday " never actually arrives.而另一方面我們又推遲我們的滿足感，推遲我們應(yīng)優(yōu)先考慮的事情，推遲我們的幸福感， 常常說服自己“有朝一日” 會比今天更好。不幸的是，如此告誡我們朝前看的大腦動力只能重復(fù)來重復(fù)去，以致“有朝一日”永遠不會真正來臨。John Lennononce said ， Lifeis whats happening whilewere busy making other plans. Whenwere busy making otherplans， our children are busy growing up，the people we loveare moving away and dying ，our bodies are gettingout of shape，and our dreams are slippingaway.In short ，we miss out on life.約翰列農(nóng)曾經(jīng)說過：“生活就是當我們忙于制定別的計劃時發(fā)生的事?！碑斘覀兠τ谥贫ǚN種“別的計劃”時，我們的孩子在忙于長大，我們摯愛的人離去了甚至快去世了，我們的體型變樣了，而我們的夢想也在悄然溜走了。一句話，我們錯過了生活。Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal5 forsome laterdate.Itisnt.Infact ，no one has a guarantee thathe or she will be here tomorrow.Now is the only time we have and the only time that we have any control over.When our，attention is in the present moment ，we push fear from our minds.Fear is the concern over events that might happen in thefuture we won thave enough money，our childrenwillgetinto trouble，we will get old and die，whatever.許多人的生活好像是某個未來日子的彩排。并非如此。事實上，沒人能保證他或她明天肯定還活著?，F(xiàn)在是我們所擁有的惟一時間，現(xiàn)在也是我們能控制的惟一時間。當我們將注意力放在此時此刻時，我們就將恐懼置于腦后?？謶志褪俏覀儞鷳n某些事情會在未來發(fā)生- 我們不會有足夠的錢，我們的孩子會惹上麻煩，我們會變老，會死去，諸如此類。Tobat fear ，the best strategy6）isto learnto bringyourattention back to the present.Mark Twain said， I have beenthrough some terriblethingsin my life，some of which actuallyhappened.I dont think I can say it any better.Practice your attention on the here and now.Your efforts willkeepingpay greatdividends7 ）。若要克服恐懼心理，最佳策略便是學(xué)會將你的注意力拉回此時此刻。馬克吐溫說過： “我經(jīng)歷過生活中一些可怕的事情，有些的確發(fā)生過。”我想我說不出比這更具內(nèi)涵的話。經(jīng)常將注意力集中于此情此景、此時此刻，你的努力終會有豐厚的報償。
