培養感恩心 Cultivating Gratitude
薪水高低決非人生滿足與否的唯一衡量標準.艾斯賓沃說;"那些早年曾遭困扼的
人比較傾向樂觀;也就是說,逆境讓人隨著時間更加成長."但是你不必等到悲劇發生
再來培養感恩的心情,今天就可以開始. 以下告訴你怎麼做:
Income level is by no means the only measure of satisfaction with one's lot in life. "There tends to be higher levels of optimism among people who have faced losses early in life, suggesting that adversity can promote personal growth over time," Aspinwall tells WebMD. But you don't have to wait for a tragedy to grow your feelings of gratitude. You can start today. Here's how:
---寫感恩日記
艾門的研究報告顯示:越定期寫一週感恩日記的人-生理症狀就越少,他們整體
人生的感覺也越好,而且對未來也更樂觀
Maintain a gratitude journal. Emmons' research showed that people who keep gratitude journals on a weekly basis exercise more regularly, report fewer physical symptoms, feel better about their lives as a whole, and maintain greater optimism about the future.
---列出你一生所受的恩惠,並自問:"我把這些恩惠看成有多理所當然?",
艾門解釋著:有些人需要這樣的視覺提醒,才會注意到要感恩
Create a list of benefits in your life and ask yourself, "To what extent do I take these for granted?" Some people need such concrete visual reminders to maintain mindfulness of their gratitude, explains Emmons.
---"用創意.正面.感激的方式來自我對話"
肯塔基大學 山姆.魁克博士建議
隨之而來的就是深思你所感恩的事情;如果你正面臨一個挑戰,就會知道
這助益匪淺.譬如說:去適應工作中特別難相處的某人或是難相處的鄰居,能增加
你的耐心以及理解力
Talk to yourself in a creative, optimistic, and appreciate manner, suggests Sam Quick, PhD, of the University of Kentucky. This could entail simply reflecting on things for which you're grateful or, if you're facing a challenging situation, seeing how it can ultimately be beneficial. For instance, having to cope with particularly difficult people in your job or neighborhood can improve your patience and understanding.
重建一個情境-以更正面且不一樣的態度去看事情
魁克提出一個例子:一個爸爸不願把他的6歲女兒看成是古怪.煩人.又惹麻煩,
可以做出一個結論-中年人只是疲倦需要休息而已
Reframe a situation by looking at it with a different, more positive attitude, offers Quick. He provides this example: Rather than seeing his 6-year-old daughter as cranky, irritable, and troublesome, a father might reach the conclusion that the youngster is tired and needs rest.
這些感恩策略確實能改善你全面健康福祉的說法,說服不了你?
艾門說:"自己試試看吧.還有更好的方法? 我想,感恩是人生最好的途徑"
Not convinced these simple gratitude-enhancing strategies can improve your overall health and well-being? "Try it out for yourself. What's the alternative? I think gratitude is the best approach to life," Emmons says.
