Change the story in your head.
改变故事
Sometimes when you’re in a bad mood, it’s tempting to cling to a story that justifies it–and then retell it over and over like a picture book you’ve heard a million times. And then he said this…And then I did this…And then I messed up…
有时心情不好，人们很容易找个偏袒自己的理由，然后一遍又一遍地讲述，就像那本早已读过无数遍的图画书一样——“然后他说……于是我就……结果我把一切都搞砸了……”
Visualize yourself closing a book and taking a new one off the shelf. Then start telling yourself a different story. One where you’re not a victim. One where you’re not powerless. One where you’re accepting what happened, and moving on so you don’t lose anymore time to that other book.
何不放下这本翻烂的书，再从书架上取一本新的呢？这样你才能享有别样的故事。在新故事里，你可以不再是受伤的那个人，你不再无助，你面对现实并继续前行，为人生的下一篇章而奋斗。
