(单词翻译:单击)
The positive psychology movement is surely gaining momentum. In a recent discussion with two of my colleagues we joked that positive psychology’s really about a type of recovery from negative thinking.
如今积极心理学的动向的确吸引着大家的关注。最近还和我的两位同事开玩笑说，积极心理学其实就是让我们从消极的想法中恢复。
这同时让我好奇，值不值得用12步来变得积极呢？我想这是值得一试的。
Here is what I propose for the 12 steps of positive psychology.
一下就是我所建议的积极心理学的12步。
1. We admitted we have more power than we realized over negative thoughts and that our lives can become more manageable if we deal with them directly.
1.我们应该承认自己的能力远远强于我们在消极想法中所意识到的，而且如果我们直接去管理我们的生活，它会变得更容易掌控。
2. Came to believe that a power greater than our current self, positivity, could be accessed and nurtured.
2.要一直相信我们的潜力无限，远比现在的自己强大，积极，是可以被激发和培养的。
3. Made a decision to help God as we understand him to bring forth a feeling of well-being.
3.辅助上帝去做一个决定，就如同我们了解他将会带来幸福一样。
4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our virtues and strengths.
4.大胆的探索自己拥有的美德和优势。
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our goodness, kindness and courage.
5.相信上帝，自己和他人都有真实存在的优点，友善和勇气。
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character so that we can replace them with our signature strengths.
6.我们要完全准备好，因为上帝会清除我们的全部缺点，取而代之的是我们的显著优点。
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings — but not until we have learned to understand how these shortcomings might be opportunities to grow.
7.谦逊的请求上帝移除我们的坏毛病——当然这是必须在我们清楚地意识到这些坏毛病是让我们成长成熟的因素之一。
8. Made a list of all persons who have helped us and became willing to express our gratitude to them all.
8.列出所有帮助过我们的人的名字，试着去向他们表达我们的感激之情。
9. Made direct effort to thank such people wherever possible, except when we are prevented from doing so. In this case we write a letter to them as if they were going to receive it and keep it as a reminder of the gratitude we have for them.
9.无论在哪儿，都试着直接去感谢他们，除非情况不允许。如果情况不允许，那我们就写一封信给他们，就仿佛他们能收到它一样，然后保存这封信，时刻提醒自己我们十分感谢这些曾经帮助过我们的人。
10.Keep the good people list forever,also find opportunity to become friendliness, sympathy, once you find yourself with these qualities, make good use of them.
10.一直保留着这个好人名单，找机会自己也要去变得友善，有同情心，一旦发现自己有这样的品质，就好好利用它。
11. Sought through prayer, meditation and a daily gratitude list, to improve our relationship with others and our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
11.在祷告词，冥想，日常感谢名单中寻找，以便改善我们的人际关系，我们的意识是与神相通的，因为我们知道他，祈祷，因为我们知道上帝有能力改变我们。
12. Having had a spiritual and psychological awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to those not yet flourishing, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
12.对于这12步的结果，要拥有一个心灵和心理上的警醒，我们试图将这个讯息传达给那些没有发达的（或者说比较消极的人），并让他们在日常事务中反复练习这些步骤。
Of course there is always room for more. Let me know if there are ones you would like to see added to this list.
当然这儿还有很大的提高空间，如果还有一些好方法要添加，请告诉我。
