Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion-like stress, anger,or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed,unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you're doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you're sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.
Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute- but only one minute to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, "Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”
Once you've allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.
When you feel you've had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you're willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple- almost . But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.
清理心灵的空间
想一下你最近一次感受到的消极情绪一比如压力、愤怒或挫败。当你处于那种消极情绪时你在想些什么?是你的脑海中充满了混乱的思绪?还是陷于麻木,无法思考?
下次当你发现自己神经紧张时,或是你感到气愤或沮丧时,停下来。是的,对,停下来。不管你在做什么,停下来坐上一分钟。坐着的时候,让自己完全沉浸在那种消极情绪之中。
让那种消极情绪吞噬你,给自己一分钟的时间去真正地感受那种情绪,不要欺骗自己。花整整一分钟的时间,但只有一分钟——别的什么也不要做,只体会那种情绪。
当一分钟结束时,问自己:“在今天余下的时间里,我是否想继续保持这种消极情绪?”
一旦你允许自己完全沉浸在那种情绪当中并真正体会它,你就会惊奇地发现那种情绪很快就消失了。
如果你觉得还需要点时间来保持那种情绪,没关系,再给自己一分钟的时间去体会它。
如果你觉得自己已经充分体会了那种情绪,那就问自己是否愿意在今天余下的时间里继续保持那种消极的情绪。如果不愿意,那就深呼吸。呼气的时候,把所有的消极情绪都释放出去。
这个方法似乎很简单—几乎是太过简单了,但却非常有效。通过给自已空间真正体会消极情绪,你是在处理这种情绪,而不是将其压制下去然后尽量不加理会。通过给予消极情绪所需的空间和关注,你实际上是在消解其力量。当你沉浸在那种情绪之中,并且明白它只是一种情绪时,你就摆脱了它的控制。你就可以清理头脑继续做事了。
