過去簡單式

祈使句型

Imagine how effective you'd be if you weren't anxious.

想像一下，如果你不焦慮，你會有多有效率。

And anxiety is the emotion du jour of the 21st century.

而焦慮是 21 世紀當下流行的情緒。

And lots of driven people, very anxious, very paranoid.

還有很多有企圖心的人，非常焦慮，非常偏執。

That's what's caused them to be affected.

這就是導致他們受到影響的原因。

It pays so much attention, detail oriented, not letting things go, staying up at night, thinking about it.

它會讓你非常關注細節，不放過任何事，熬夜思考。

What have you come to learn about anxiety and dealing with it?

你學到了什麼關於焦慮以及如何處理它？

Stress is when, like if you look at an iron beam, when an iron beam is under stress, it's because it's being bent in two different directions at the same time.

壓力就像，如果你看一根鐵樑，當鐵樑承受壓力時，是因為它同時受到兩個不同方向的彎曲。

So when your mind is under stress, it's because it has two conflicting desires at once.

所以當你的心靈承受壓力時，是因為它同時有兩個衝突的慾望。

So, for example, you know, you want to be liked, but you want to do something selfish.

所以，舉個例子，你知道，你想要受人喜愛，但你又想做些自私的事。

You want to do something for somebody else, you want to do something for yourself, right?

你想為別人做點什麼，又想為自己做點什麼，對吧？

You don't want to go to work, but you want to make money.

And I think one of the ways to get through stress is to acknowledge that, oh, I actually have two conflicting desires, and

我覺得要克服壓力的一個方法就是承認，哦，我其實有兩個衝突的願望，然後

either I need to resolve it, I need to pick one and then be okay losing the other, or I will decide later.

我需要解決它，我需要選擇一個，然後接受失去另一個，或者我之後再決定。

But at least just being aware of why your stress can help alleviate a lot of stress.

但至少意識到你的壓力來源，可以幫助減輕很多壓力。

And then anxiety, I think, is sort of this pervasive, unidentifiable stress where you're just kind of stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why, and

然後焦慮，我覺得，有點像是這種瀰漫的、無法辨識的壓力，你就是一直處於壓力之中，甚至不知道為什麼，然後

you can't even identify the underlying problem.

And I think the reason for that is because you have so many unresolved problems, unresolved stress points that have piled up in your life that you can no longer identify what the problems are.

我覺得原因是因為你的生活中累積了太多未解決的問題、未解決的壓力點，以至於你再也無法辨識出問題是什麼。

And there's this mountain of garbage in your mind, and

it's a little bit of it poking out at the top like an iceberg.

然後有一小部分像冰山一樣從頂端露出來。

But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things.

但底下其實還有很多未解決的事情。

And so you just need to kind of go through very carefully every time you're anxious.

所以每次你感到焦慮的時候，你都需要很仔細地去檢視。

像是，好啦，這次我為什麼會焦慮？

Oh, well, let me sit here and just think about it.

喔，好吧，讓我坐下來好好想想。

Let me write down what the possible causes could be.

Let me journal, Let me talk to a therapist, let me talk to my friends.

讓我寫日記、找心理師聊聊、跟朋友聊聊。

Let me just kind of see, like, when does that stress go away?

讓我試著看看，壓力是什麼時候會消失。

If you can kind of identify and unravel and resolve these issues, then I think that helps get rid of anxiety.

如果你能辨識、釐清並解決這些問題，我想這有助於擺脫焦慮。

A lot of the anxiety is piled up because we move through life too quickly not observing our own reactions to things.

很多焦慮的累積，是因為我們生活步調太快，沒有去留意自己對事情的反應。

So this goes counter to what I was saying earlier about not reflecting too much on things.

所以這跟前面說的，不要過度反思事情，有點不太一樣。

But you reflect on the problems to observe them and solve them.

但你反思問題，是為了觀察和解決它們。

Reflect on them to feel better about you, to indulge them.

反思它們，是為了讓你感覺更好，去放縱它們。

Well, if you're doing it to just feel better about yourself, that could be strengthening your personality and your ego and could be creating a more fragile personality.

嗯，如果你只是為了讓自己感覺更好而這麼做，那可能會強化你的個性和自尊，並可能創造出一個更脆弱的個性。

One big anxiety resolve for me is just ruminating on death.

對我來說，一個很大的焦慮解決方法，就是不斷地思考死亡。

I know we don't spend enough time thinking about the big questions.

我知道我們花在思考這些大哉問上的時間太少了。

When we're very, very young, you know, a little child might ask the big questions like, why are we here?

當我們非常非常年輕的時候，你知道，小孩子可能會問一些大哉問，像是我們為什麼在這裡？

But then as adults, we're taught not to think about these things, or we've given up on them.

但長大後，我們被教導不要去想這些事，或者我們已經放棄了。

But I think the big questions are the big questions for good reasons.

但我覺得這些大哉問之所以是大哉問，是有原因的。

And if you can keep the idea in front of you at all times that you're going to die and that everything goes literally to zero, what's there to stress about?

而且如果你能時時刻刻提醒自己，你會死，一切都會歸零，那還有什麼好壓力的？

Yeah, for better or worse, life is very short.

對，不管好壞，人生真的很短暫。

How should people deal with its briefness?

那我們該怎麼面對這短暫的人生呢？

There's only a present moment, and it's gone instantly.

只有當下，而且它瞬間就消失了。

So if you're not there for it, if you're stressed out or you're anxious or you're thinking about something else, you missed it.

所以如果你沒有把握當下，如果你壓力很大、很焦慮，或者在想別的事情，你就錯過了。

So any moment when you're not in that moment, you are dead to that moment.

所以任何你不在當下的時刻，你對那個時刻來說就是不存在的。

You might as well be dead because your mind is off doing something else or living in some imagined reality that is just a very poor substitute for the actual reality.

你乾脆就當作死了，因為你的腦子在想別的事，或者活在某個想像中的現實裡，那只是真實現實一個很差的替代品。

So one of my recent realizations was, what is wasted time?

所以我最近的一個體悟是，什麼是浪費時間？

And everything is wasted time in a sense, because nothing matters in the ultimate.

而且某種程度上，一切都是浪費時間，因為最終來說，沒有什麼是重要的。

但在每個當下，事情是重要的。

In each moment, it's the only thing that matters, actually.

在每個當下，它其實是唯一重要的事。

What's happening in front of you is literally has all the meaning in the world.

眼前發生的事，就是最有意義的事。

And so what matters is just being present for the thing.

所以重要的就是全然地活在當下。

So if you're doing something that you want to do and you're fully there for it, then it's not wasted time.

所以如果你在做一件你想做的事，而且你全心投入，那就不算浪費時間。

If you don't want to do it and your mind is running away from it and you're reacting against it, and

如果你不想做，腦袋卻一直想著別的事，抗拒著它，

you're wishing you were somewhere else and you're thinking about some other thing, or you're anticipating some future thing, or regretting some past thing, or being fearful of something, then that's wasted time.

總想著自己應該在別的地方，想著別的事，或是期待著未來的某件事，後悔著過去的某件事，或是害怕著什麼，那才算是浪費時間。

That's time that's being wasted when you're not actually present for the reality in front of you.

那才是你沒有全然活在眼前現實裡，而浪費掉的時間。

Yes, I do want some material things in life.

是的，我想要一些物質上的東西。

There are things that have more value than others within this life, but

在這輩子裡，有些東西確實比其他東西更有價值，但是

So the true wasted time is a time that you are not present for when you are not there for it, when you are not doing the thing you want to do to the best of your capability, such that you're immersed in it.

所以真正浪費的時間，是你沒有全然活在當下、沒有盡你所能去做你想做的事，沉浸其中的時間。

If you're not immersed in this moment, then you're wasting your time.

如果你沒有沉浸在這一刻，那你就是在浪費時間。

People get worried about dying and no longer being here, but

人們擔心死亡，擔心不再存在，但是

they don't realize that so much of their life is spent not being here in any case.

他們沒有意識到，其實他們生命中有這麼多時間，本來就不是在這裡的。

And I think people crave being here for it.

我覺得人們渴望真正地活在當下。

And when you're here for it, you're actually not thinking about yourself.

當你活在當下時，你其實不會去想自己。

You are more immersed in the thing, the moment, the task at hand.

你會更沉浸在那件事、那個時刻、手邊的任務裡。
