消除生活壓力的10大妙招

Identify stressors. This is the most important step of All, as identifying the things that stress you out in your life is the first step towards eliminating them. Take 10 minutes to think about what stresses you out during the day. What weekly occurrences stress you out? What people, activities, things cause stress in your life? Make a Top 10 list, and see which of them can be eliminated, and start to weed them out. For those that can’t, find ways to make them less stressful.
1、把壓力列舉出來：這一步是最重要的，把讓你在生活中感覺有壓力的事兒全部列舉出來，花上十多分鐘思考一下你這一天以及一週發生的事兒，看看有什麼讓你感覺不爽的，是因爲人哪，還是因爲事兒啊，還是什麼其它的事物。把它們列出來，把它們排序，找出頭十項，看看能把它們之中的哪些先去除，如果除不掉的，就要看看怎麼樣才能將它們降到最低限。

Eliminate unnecessary commitments. I did a post on editing your commitments before … apply those concepts here. We all have many commitments in our life, starting with work but also including commitments related to kids, our spouses, things to do at home, other family, civic, side work, religious, hobbies, online activities and more. Consider each of them, the amount of stress they provide, and the value you get out of them. Edit brutally, and take steps today to remove the ones that stress you out the most.
2、減少不必要的評論
我曾經在editing your commitents上發表過一篇言論，把它引見到這篇文章裏來。在我們生活中到處都有評論，其中有關於工作的，有關於孩子的，配偶的，以及家務啊，別人家的鎖事啊，城市裏的事啊，或者是宗教啊，愛好啊等等等等。把這些都好好想想，這些鎖事給我們無形中帶來的壓力，想想如果沒有它們我們的生活又會多麼快活有價值。大致的想一下，然後今天就行動把這其中最讓我們頭疼的去除掉。

Procrastination. We all do this, of course. But allowing stuff to pile up will stress us out. Find ways to take care of stuff now (form a Do It Now habit) and keep your inbox and desk clear. See 20 Procrastination Hacks for more ideas.
3.拖拉：當然了，我們都有惰性，但是如果把事情都積到一起做的話就會讓我們很有壓力，試着想辦法及時處理事情，儘量讓你的收件箱乾淨一些。

Disorganization. We’re all disorganized to some extent. Even if we’ve organized something, and created a great system for keeping it that way, things tend to move towards chaos over time. But disorganization stresses us out, in terms of visual clutter, and in making it difficult to find stuff we need. Take time to get things in your life organized, starting with your desk and the papers in your home, and moving on to other areas.
4.雜亂無章：某種程度上，我們做事都沒有什麼秩序，即使我們安排好了，也做了很多計劃，可是事情到最後還是會顯得雜亂無章。但是這種狀態能夠使我們感到壓抑，也會擾亂我們正常的工作和生活，試着把生活中的事情安排好，讓它們井然有序，就從我們的書桌和紙筆開始吧，以此類推到其它的事情上。

Late. Being late always stresses us out. We have to rush to get ready, rush to get there, and stress out the whole time about looking bad and being late. Learn the habit of being early, and this stress disappears. Make a conscious effort to start getting ready earlier, and to leave earlier. This also makes driving less stressful. Time yourself to see how long it actually takes to get ready, and how long it actually takes to get somewhere. You’ve probably been underestimating these times. Once you know these times, you can plan backwards so that you show up 10 minutes early each time. It’s a good feeling.
5.遲到：遲到讓我們受不了，我們得急忙的準備上班，然後一整天都因爲遲到而不舒服。試着早起吧，早點準備去上班，這樣也許會躲過交通高峯期。估計一下做準備得花多長時間，要花多長時間到達目的地，你就會大致的算出這些時間，一旦你瞭解了這些，你就可以提前做好計劃，提前十分鐘到達單位了，這種感覺會很好的。

Controlling. We are not the Master of this Universe. I know we sometimes wish we were, but acting as if we are is a sure way to get stressed out. Trying to control situations and people cannot work, and only serves to increase our anxiety when it doesn’t work. Learn to let go, and accept the way that other people do things, and accept what happens in different situations. The only thing you can control is yourself — work on that before you consider trying to control the world. Also learn to separate yourself from tasks and to delegate them. Learning to let go of our need to control others and the situations around us is a major step towards eliminating stress.
6.自控：我們不是萬物的主宰，我很瞭解，有時候我們都會試着用我們的方式去做事，都認爲我們自己的做事方式是最完美的，總是試圖想控制局面以及那些庸人，但結果總會使我們覺得壓力更大。學會釋然，慢慢的接受別人的做事方式，接受不同情況下發生的狀況，在你想控制整個世界之前你控制的只有你自己。把你自己從工作中釋放出來，要學會讓他人承擔工作任務，學會放下自己控制別人的慾望，這是消除壓力的一大重要方法。

Multitasking. Having multiple tasks going on at the same time might seem productive, but in actuality it slows us down from actually focusing on a task and completing it — and it stresses us out in the meantime. Learn to single-task.
7.多任務：一次解決多項任務感覺效率很高，但事實上，它分散了我們對於單個事物的注意力，同時又會給我們帶來很多的壓力，所以學會一次只做一件事情。

Eliminate energy drains. If you’ve analyzed your life (in Step 1) and found things that stress you out, you might have also noticed things that drain your energy. Certain things in our life just cause us to be more exhausted than others, with less value. Identify them, and cut them out. You’ll have much more energy and much less stress. Happiness ensues.
8.不去做費神的事兒：如果你在第一步就找出了你壓力的根源，那麼，你一定很清楚讓你費神的事情了。有些事情總是那麼費力又沒什麼價值，把它們找出來，讓它們從你的生活中消失，這樣一來你就有更旺盛的精力了。幸福也就跟着來了。

Avoid difficult people. You know who they are. If you take a minute to think about it, you can identify all the people in your life — bosses, coworkers, customers, friends, family, etc. — who make your life more difficult. Now, you could confront them and do battle with them, but that will most certainly be difficult. Just cut them out of your life.
9.不想讓人頭疼的人：你知道他們是誰，如果你花費精力去思考每一個人，你可能要想你的老闆，同事，顧客，朋友，家人等等。你可以和讓你感到不舒服的人爭吵，但是結果總是會給我們增添更多的壓力，所以，壓根就不要去想他們算了。

10.簡化生活：簡單，是Zen Habits的主題，讓你的生活軌跡，你的承諾，你所獵取的信息以及你亂七八糟的房間變得簡單，讓那些煩人的事兒變得簡單，結果我們就會有更小的壓力了。從悉心安排生活做起，看看其它關於使生活變得簡單的文章。
