Mornings are underrated. I consider them fundamental for the whole diurnal experience. What you do in the very first moments of your morning will fundamentally and inexorably shape your entire day. Most of the time you spend your mornings by routinely performing some habits, on auto pilot. Hence, your days will routinely unfold towards you, the same way day after day, on auto pilot.

 

人们往往低估清晨的重要性(中国古语有”一日之计在于晨”,说明清晨是非常重要的译者注)). 我认为清晨做什么对一个人的全天都有重要的影响.早上睁眼后你所做的事情将从根本上决定着你全天的工作成效. 大多数时候, 你都按部就搬地依照习惯度过你早上的时光. 因此, 你的日子也就一成不变地一天天过去, 日复一日,年复一年.

Consciously inserting your intentions in these very first moments will have a huge effect. Taking charge of those moments it’s like activating some subtle, unconscious triggers which will ultimately determine your whole daily experience, exactly the way you want. Mornings are fundamental. This is why I experimented a lot with my very first moments of the day.

如果你从清晨睁眼就开始有意识地做一些事情,这将会产生非常巨大的影响. 抓住这片段的时光,会像激活了某个微妙的、潜意识的机关一样,它们最终将决定你在整个全天的所有体验,那正是你所想要的一切。一日之计在于晨。那就是我为什么在每天一开始的第一时间就进行这么多体验的原故。

 

Here are at least 33 ways in which you can transform your days by only spending 5 minutes every morning.

这里给大家介绍每天早上只花5分钟就能使你的日子得到改观的33种方法:

 

1. Write In Your Journal 写日记

I love the morning stillness and the unspoken promise of something ready to start. Mornings are fantastic for journaling. Whenever I do it, I feel like I already consumed several hours from that day and yet I'm only at the very beginning of it. Journaling acts like a mind emptier and out of nowhere I feel energized and ready to go. Not to mention that in the morning I have less inhibitors and my journaling is far more authentic.

我喜欢清晨的静谧和某事即将开始时的无声承诺.早晨是写日记的绝佳时刻.每当在清晨写日记时,我都有一种已过了好几个小时,但我才刚刚开始的感觉.写日记就像是在清空头脑,然后,我精力充沛地准备出发.更不用说在早上我受到的约束较少,因此,我所写的日记会更真实.

 

2. Enjoy The Morning Silence享受清晨的静谧

And do nothing. Just feel the silence and let it spread over your mind and body. I'm fascinated by all the little noises that are born from that morning silence: from my familiar house noises (wife and daughter waking up, steps, windows, doors) up to the neighborhood noises (car engines, low voices, small buzz). Everything starts in that silence and sometimes I think that if I focus enough on it I could actually predict, or even create all those little noises.

清早起床后什么都不做,只是感受那种静谧,让我的整个身心都沉浸在这种感觉中.我对清晨的静谧中滋生的一点点噪音都会着迷:我熟悉的房子中传出的声音(妻子和女儿醒来的声音,走路的声音,开门的声音),附近传来的声音(汽车发动机的声音,小声的低语,低低的嗡嗡声).所有的一切都从静谧中开始.有时我想,如果我注意力十分集中的话,事实上我可以预测或者甚至制造这些小小的噪音.

 

3. Be Grateful For Something 5 Minutes 感恩5分钟

Point your mind to something you're really grateful for and stay there. Might be your family, your wealth, your health or just your present moment. Feel grateful for it. There's nobody between you and that thing, there's nobody watching or listening. You're free to feel grateful and happy. And then start your day as usual. It's only 5 minutes, yet the impact of such a day starter is overwhelming: whenever I'm doing it I feel like walking 2 centimeters above the road for the entire day.

将你的思绪带到让你真正感激的某个事物或者某件事上并停留在那里,你要感恩的可以是你的家庭,你的健康,或者仅仅是你现在的片刻.感恩吧!在你和你要感激的对象之间没有任何人的干扰,没有人在看着你或者听你说什么.你可以自由地感受感恩的心情和那种幸福感,然后像往常那样开始你新的一天.只需要花5分钟,然后,这对你全天的影响是无法估量的--每次我这样做了以后,我都会感觉我走了2 centimeters above the road for the entire day.(英文原文可能有问题--译者注)

4. Open Windows打开窗户

Regardless of the current season. If it's cold outside, even better. Open your bedroom windows, your living room windows, your kitchen windows. Let the fresh air inside, welcome the small buzz of the city waking up, silently watch the last forces of the night walking away. Let yourself be refreshed. The yesterday you is no longer there and the today you is slowly getting in shape. Those open windows will unconsciously allow you to receive change and novelty with much more ease during the day.

无论是在什么季节,清早起床就打开窗.如果外面很冷,那效果会更好.打开你卧室的窗户、客厅的窗户、橱房的窗户,让新鲜空气进到屋里来,让醒来的城市中低低的声音进来,静静地注视着黑夜的最后一丝影子消失在你的视线之中。让你感到一个全新的自我。昨天的你已不复存在,你在慢慢地塑造一个全新的今天的你。那些敞开的窗户将潜意识地使你更容易接收改变和接受新事物。

5. Throw Away A Useless Object 扔掉无用的东西

You're going to spot it pretty easily if you put your mind to it. It often happens to me to stumble upon unneeded stuff in my house during the early morning. If it's a chair staying in my way, maybe its place is not in my house. Maybe it's a piece of paper or a wrecked device. I find joy and a subtle enthusiasm in throwing away things that are only cluttering my space, and doing it first thing in the morning makes it even more powerful.

如果你有心的话,你会发现扔掉无用的东西是相当容易的。我常常早晨在房间里碰到不需要的东西。如果是一把挡道的椅子,有可能它就不会在我房间里了。也许只是一个纸片或者是一个坏了的设备。扔掉这些无用而又占用我空间的东西,我有一种快感和微妙的热情(subtle enthusiam)。

6. Help Somebody 帮助某人

Write an answer to an old question, do part of a small chore, move an object out of somebody's way. No need to be huge or visible. Just keep in mind the intention of being helpful immediately to somebody else. During the morning your mind is far more clear and you have access to more energy than usual. Hence, your helping activities will be much more effective if you decide to do them as the first thing after you wake up.

为一个老问题写上答案,做一点杂务,把某件东西从其它人要走过的地方挪开.这些不需要你花多大的功夫,而且你做了别人也不一定能够看得见.只需要牢记你的目的就是立刻帮助其他人就行了.清晨的时候,人的头脑清醒,精力充沛,因此,如果你把帮助他人作为你醒后的第一要务的话,你的帮助会更有效.

7. Meditate For 5 Minutes 沉思5分钟

Empty  your mind and isolate from your environment. Focus on your breathe. If there are thoughts coming in your way, acknowledge their presence and then kindly ask them to go away. Meditating in the morning is easier, there are fewer perturbing factors. Even after a good sleep, your mind is still trying to find answers, to solve problems, to fight or resist. Do yourself a simple, yet solid service and pack your morning time with an extra meditation on top.

清空你的大脑,使之与环境隔离,将注意力集中到你的呼吸上,如果这时一下涌出某种想法,你得承认它的存在,但随后要让它从头脑中消失.在清晨沉思更容易,受到的干扰少.即使是睡了一个好觉,你的头脑中仍在努力寻找解决某个问题的答案,或者仍然在抵抗或是战斗.为自己提供一项简单而实在的服务,让自己沉思中度过清晨的时光.

8. Think How To Help Somebody During The Day 想想当日如何去帮助他人

This is different from number 6 in terms of the actual time of the helping act. Now you're planing how to help somebody during the day, you're visualizing the context and try to find a specific time in your schedule for this helping act. Again, doesn't have to be huge, a piece of advice, facilitating something or a small gift. The mere act of planing how to help somebody will change the course of your entire day.

与第6条不同的是帮助他人的时间不同.现在,你正在计划着如何在这一天中帮助他人.你设法从一天的日程中安排具体的时间来完成这个行动.同样,不一定是非常巨大的帮助,可以给某人提一条建议,给某人一个小礼物,或者促成某事等等.一个帮助他人的小行动将会改变你整天的轨迹.

9. Exercise 锻炼身体

Like in getting physical. I'm not doing this every single day, but I'm  doing it often enough. A part from your brain there is  a body, too. A collection of joints, muscles and bones. And in order to be balanced you have to take care of those too. The good news is that your body has a feedback mechanism for the good things you do to it: it's called endorphins. Every time you start your day with a decent workout (1.(尤指体育的)训练;赛前集训(时间) 2.  锻炼), you'll be blessed with a decent rush of endorphins. Usually, it lasts until evening.

我虽然没有每天早晨锻炼,但还是经常锻炼.大脑也是身体的一部分,身体是关节、肌肉、骨头的集合.为了全身平衡,你必须爱护你的身体。你的身体会对你所做的对身体有益的事情产生反馈--产生安多芬(一种能让人产生快感的物质)。清晨的锻炼会让你产生一种欣快的冲动,这种感觉常常会持续到晚上。

10. Spend 5 Minutes In The Garden  在花园里呆5分钟

Alternatively, spend some times near your flowers,or your terrace. Just be outside in the first minutes of the day, trying to breathe the fresh air and feel the vibe of the green life. Clear you mind and open your senses. Let your awaken body to synchronize with this frequency and don't start the day until you completely immersed in this flow for at least 5 minutes. I seldom run into a fight or even got closer to some aggressive scene when I start my day like this.

清晨起床后,你可以在花园的鲜花旁,也可以在花园的台阶上呆上几分钟,尽力呼吸新鲜空气,感受绿色生命所带来的氛围,排除一切杂念,打开五官,让你已经醒来的身体与这种节拍同步。我每天很少一开始就进入战斗状态,甚至不会去看带有争斗性的场景。
