活在当下

Perhaps one of the biggest differences between worriers and non-worriers is the ability to stay in the present, and not get bogged down by things that have yet to happen. Purdon calls it a "worry chain" -- the idea that one worry will spur a "what if," which spurs another worry and another "what if," and so on. Non-worriers are able to look at a problem and recognize what solution needs to be implemented, "but a worrier isn't able to get that kind of distance," she explains. "The mind goes a lot faster."

活在当下,不被尚未发生的事情困扰,这种能力也许就是衡量一个人是否容易忧虑的最主要区别。博登博士称之为“忧虑连锁”—就是一种担心会激发另一个“假如“,再激发下一个“假如”,如此产生连锁效应。不易忧虑的人能够去看待难题并且找出需要的解决方法,“但是易忧虑的人却无法达到那种程度,”她解释道,“他们的思绪转得很快。”

For instance, say your son comes home with a bad grade. If you're a worrier, you might then worry that this will cause your son to fail the class, which will then impair him from getting into college. However, if you're a non-worrier, you'll realize that the immediate issue at hand is just that your son needs to study harder in this particular class -- and that's that. "I'm able to say, 'He usually does really well, he's smart, he’s dedicated, he’ll be fine; this is a blip, not a pattern,'" Purdon says. Whereas when worriers become anxious, their "intentional focus narrows to threat cues. They can get themselves very anxious very quickly."

比如,你的儿子考试考砸回到家。如果你是个容易忧虑的人,你可能会担心这会导致孩子最后挂科,可能会影响他上大学。然而,如果你是乐天派,你会意识到当下之急就是小孩需要在这门课上多用点儿功——仅此而已。“我可以说,‘他一直做得很不错,聪明又用功,他没问题的;这只是个小挫折,不是常态,” 博登讲道,然而,当忧虑者焦虑起来时,他们会“有意识地将注意力缩小到那些威胁性因素上,然后很快让自己不安起来。”
