11. Forgive Somebody 原谅某个人

 

Let go. Forgive and forget. Mornings are very good for that because you have so little inference from the outside world, only your own mind and personal history. Does it really matter that much? Feeling that grudge and anger towards somebody who hurt you? Yes, he hurt you, but it really matter that much? Forgiving somebody as the first thing in the morning makes me want to conquer the world the very next minutes. And it works really well with forgiving yourself too.

 

让一切都过去吧!原谅并忘记。清晨是原谅某个人的最佳时候,这时极少受到外界的干扰,只有你自己的内心和你自己的过去。你真的很在乎吗?感受到对那个曾经伤害你的人的怨恨和愤怒了吗?他确实曾经伤害过你,但这真的这么重要吗?把原谅某人作为你清晨要做的第一件事,这样做会使你立刻想要征服世界!这真的非常管用,原谅你自己也一样。

 

12. Think For 5 Minutes At Someone You Love 5分钟想你所爱的人

Again, that person may be your family, someone you loved at some point in your life or someone who just appeared. Keep that person in mind, imagine having a conversation or doing something together. Create an internal representation of a desired bond. Not only it will actually attract that person towards you (somehow) during the day, but what you think in those moments will add up to the relationship in a very mysterious way. It’s like what you think it’s already happening.

 

那个人可能是你的家人,也可能是你生命长河的某个点上所爱过或者出现过的某个人。在头脑中想像那个人,想像着与他/她交谈或是一起做某事的场景。为你所渴望的这种关系建立一种内在的联系. 这不仅可以在当天吸引那个人靠近你,而且此刻你之所想将以非常神秘的方式巩固你们之间的关系,这就好比你所想像的一切已经正在发生。

 

13. Read A Poem读一首诗

Poetry, or any form of art, talks to your irrational mind. Usually, your morning is cluttered with rational thoughts and activities: get up and ready for the job, prepare the kids, get the morning tasks solved. Talking to your irrational mind will break this circuit, but it will do it creatively. For instance, my favorite morning poem is “If”, by Rudyard Kipling. Every time I read it, even if the day is packed with difficult tasks, somehow, I find the energy and right attitude to get over them. Totally irrational.

 

诗歌和其它形式的艺术能够与你失去理性的内心进行对话.通常,清晨的时候,你的头脑中塞满了理性的思想和活动--起床,为当日的工作作准备,为孩子收拾,解决早上的事务.与你不够理性的内心交谈将打破这种固有的模式,但结果却非常具有创造性.例如,我最喜欢的一首诗是鲁德亚德.吉卜林的"如果".每次我读到这首诗时,即使这一天遇到的全是难事,我仍然能够有克服这些困难的精神和正确态度.完全不合常理!

 

14. Make Coffee or Tea For Your Partner 为你的伴侣调一杯咖啡或泡一杯茶

I like this whole beverage ritual in the morning, I think it has something to do with deeply buried recollections of religious rituals we humans, as a species, performed during the history. There’s something sacramental about preparing the water, making fire, putting the right amount of tea or coffee. It’s like asking gods for benevolence. Only this time is not about gods, it’s about your partner. Paving your road through today with your partner blessing.

 

我喜欢早上这种喝饮料的礼仪,我认为这与我们被深藏在内心对人类历史上所举行的宗教仪式的怀旧情结有关。在准备水、生火、倒入茶叶或者咖啡的时候,让人感觉在举行一个非常隆重的盛典,就像在请求上苍给与恩赐一样。只有这个时候你乞求的不是上帝,而是你的伴侣,在你伴侣的祝福中走过你的一天。

 

15. Write A Thank You Letter写一封感谢信

You don’t have to send it, just write it. When I first experienced this I had a little bit of a shock. I realized I don’t know how to do it. And for whom. That was a sad shock. Not having somebody to say “thank you” in your life can bring in quite a sorrow. So, be sure to start at least one of your mornings with a “thank you” letter. Bring to the light people or events you are thankful for. If you say “thank you” to something first thing in the morning, you’re inviting those specific type of events into your life.

 

你可以仅仅是写,而不用把这封感谢信发出去。第一次这样做的时候,我有些手足无措,不知道该怎么写,该写给谁。这让我十分震惊,让我感到伤心的震惊。在你的生活中竟然没有人能让你说声谢谢,这让人感觉很悲哀。因此,请一定在某个早晨写上一封感谢信,然后开始新的一天!把你的思绪带到你要感谢的某个让人愉悦的人或者某件让你感到愉悦的事上。如果你早上的第一件事就是说“谢谢你”,那么你正在将那种特定类型的事件引入到你的生活中。

 

16. Take A Day Off From Your Job休假一天

And use the rest of the day for yourself. Even if you’re self employed, or especially if you’re self employed, take a day off. And start it clean, from the early morning. Those free days are somehow bigger when I decide to have them unexpectedly. If I start my morning with the clear decision to take the day off, something very strange will happen: my businesses will run smoother without me. My blog traffic will spike. It’s like too much work means getting in the way of your own success.

把休假这一天的时间留给自己。即使你是自己当老板,尤其是自己老老板,请给自己放一天假,而且从大清早就可以给自己放假。当我决定给自己放假时,那些自由的日子变得似乎更重要了。如果我早上明确决定给自己放假一天,某些奇特的事情可能发生了--没有我,我的生意仍然运转顺利。My blog traffic will spike.就像太多的工作意味着对你的成功是一种障碍一样。

 

17. Do Some Crafting For 5 Minutes5分钟当匠人

If you’re a man, fix something, replace a light bulb or use your screwdriver to harden some piece of furniture. If you’re a woman, modify some clothes. (Later update: You can do it the other way around, if you really think this is a sexist approach – read the related comments below. And please, get over it  it’s just a simple example, I never thought, nor do I will, that because you’re a woman or a man you should do ONLY a certain type of things. Are we cool now?) Just do something with your hands, without any preparation, in the morning silence. In a very surprising way, this morning crafting will unfold some new opportunities. You can find a solution to an old problem or you will solve something for somebody else. It’s like this morning crafting will actually make you craft the rest of your entire day.

如果你是男人,就修理东西,换灯管,或者用螺丝刀拧紧家里的一些零部件;如果你是女人,可以改改衣服。在静静的早上,你只管用你的双手做事,不用做任何准备。早上花工夫做的这些事将会以令人惊异的方式为你展现新的机遇,你可能为一个老问题找到了新的解决方案,或者你为其它人解决了某个问题。就像这个早上一样, crafting will actually make you craft the rest of your entire day.

 

18. Learn A New Word In A Foreign Language学一个外语新单词

Just one word. Every morning, for several weeks. I used to learn some hiragana and katakana only in the morning (and that proved really interesting during my first trip to Japan). It forces your brain to find parallel ways to solve problems and your body to stay focused on a small problem from the very beginning of the day. Again, in a very strange way, learning a new foreign word each morning makes me dream about foreign lands. Which is quite a way to start your day.

每天早上只学一个单词,连续学习几周。我过去常常在早上学日语的平假名和片假名(在我第一次去日本旅行期间,证明这非常有意义!)。这会强迫你的大脑从早上一开始就寻找并行的解决问题的方法,使身体集中在某个小问题上。同样,学习外语新单词非常奇妙地让我梦到异域的土地。

 

19. Imagine Your Morning in a New Country想像在一个新的国度的某个早晨你会是什么样子

How your morning will be in New Zealand? Or in Thailand? Or in Austria? If you’ve ever been there, try to remember the smells, the air, the noises. Waking up in a different country every morning might be a fantastic experience (I might do this one day, by the way). If you’ve never been there, just try to imagine your morning there. After spending 5 minutes in a distant country, getting back to your actual day will feel like coming home from a long trip. Which is, partially, true.

想像某个早晨你在新西兰时的情景!或者是泰国、奥地利!如果你曾经到过那里,要尽量记住那里的味道,那里的空间,那里的噪音。。。每天早上在不同的国度醒来,这真是一个奇异的体验(顺便说一句,将来我可能会这么做)。如果你从未到过那个国度,那就想像一下在那里早上醒来时的情景。花5分钟在遥远的国度逗留片段,然后回到你真实的一天当中,这种感觉就像远途旅行归来一样。从某种程度来说是真实的!

 

20. Go For A Short Walk慢步一会儿

Like the first thing in the morning, before even having breakfast. Breathe the air, look at the neighborhood. Watch the morning light and hear the noises. Move around. When you got home, your day will be different. This short walk often acts like setting up the scene for something I want to happen. Walking around alone, before igniting the day, makes me feel like a director inspecting the stage. Everything looks cool, let’s make a great film today.

早上出去散散步,甚至早饭前就出去。呼吸新鲜空气,望望邻里,看看清晨的曙光,听听嘈杂的声音,四处走走看看。当你回家时,你的一天将会完全不同。早上短时间的慢步常常像为你所想要发生的某件事设置了场景。在点亮新的一天前,一个人独自出去转转,让自己感觉像是导演在视察舞台,所有的一切看起来都如此棒!那让我们今天拍一部巨片吧!
