Easiest of all and yet so underrated. There’s so much power and simplicity in watching the sunrise, connecting to the light and actually feeling how the Sun will start another day. And you’re there witnessing this cosmic process. Every time I watch the sunrise, being it at my home or in a foreign country, I have a subtle feeling of responsibility. This huge cosmic mechanism is turning around me as my playground: what am I going to do in it today?

 

看日出是最容易而又最不受重视的事。看日出，感受太阳如何开始新的一天，这会让你感受到简单和力量，你在那里见证着宇宙的这个过程。每天看日出的时候，无论是在家乡还是远在异国，我都有一种奇妙的责任感。这个巨大的宇宙围绕着我，变成了我的游乐场，那我今天该做什么呢？

 

27. Read Your Yesterday Journal读昨天的日记

If you keep a journal, of course. Look at yesterday from the very first moment of your new day. What do you love about yesterday? What do you don’t like about it? Now you have the chance to change those things. Reading your journal first thing in the morning is a surprising experience. Seeing what you wrote without any noise and with a clear mind will reveal things that you didn’t noticed. Maybe because you didn’t like them?

 

当然，如果你保留着过去的日记的话！在新的一天的第一时刻回头去看一看过去，你最喜欢过去的哪些事，不喜欢哪些事？现在是你作出改变的时候了！清晨的第一件事就是读你过去的日记，这真是一种意想不到的体验！在没有喧嚣，头脑清醒的时候读你过去的日记，这会让你发现一些过去不曾留意的东西，抑或是因为你过去也许不喜欢的东西？

 

28. Do A Short Yoga Session练一阵儿瑜珈

You don’t have to be an expert yogi to start your day with a mild yoga session. I often find myself lighter and more flexible when starting the day with a short suite of Surya Namaskara, or Sun Salutation. It stretches your body and calm your mind. I once did this for more than 6 months, every single morning. It was perhaps the most calm and balanced period of my life. And besides calm and balance, what else do you need when you start your day?

清晨时，通过练习一段轻松的瑜珈来开始你新的一天.你不必是瑜珈专家．我常常感觉练完一套短短的Surya Namaskara瑜珈或拜日式瑜珈以后，全身轻松柔软．这套瑜珈会拉伸你的身体，使你的头脑平静下来．我曾经每天早上都做，持续了６个多月．也许那是我生活中最平静最平衡的一段时期．你还需要用什么来开始你新的一天呢？

29. Visualize 3 Moments From Yesterday回想昨天的三个时刻

Keep your eyes closed and try to remember 3 moments from yesterday. It’s not reading about them in your journal, it’s trying to visualize them in your mind. First of all, the very selection of those 3 moments will tell you something about your current state. Are those moments embarrassing or happy? Second, keeping them live in your head will help you find a solution or a sequel to them. It will help you keep yesterday linked to today. Some people call this flow.

闭上眼睛，设法回想昨天的三个时刻．这不是让你读昨天的日记，是设法让你在头脑中想像昨天的情形．首先，对这三个时刻的选择就足以说明你目前的状态．你在这三个时刻是感觉窘迫还是高兴？将这三个时刻重新在你的大脑中再现，这将有助于你找到消除窘迫或者是继续这种快乐的方法．这有助于使你让昨天与今天联系起来，有些人把这称为＂流＂．

 

30. Visualize 3 Moments From Today想像今天的三个时刻

Can be practiced in tandem with the one above, or separately. Visualizing 3 moments from today means actually create those 3 moments. See yourself performing those actions, attending those meetings, saying those words or writing those sentences. It’s early in the morning and nobody is pressuring. You have the freedom to see yourself exactly as you want to be. In my experience, almost any of these predicted moments are actually happening during the day.

你可以把这个与上面的回忆昨天的三个时刻放在一起练习，也可以分开进行．想像今天的三个时刻，其实是要让创造这样的三个时刻．从头脑中想像你在做哪些动作，参加哪些会议，说哪些话，或者写哪些句子！因为你是在清晨，此时没有人给你压力，你可以不受束缚地看到你内心所想到的东西．根据我本人的经验，几乎所有我所预测的时刻最后都在当天发生了．

 

31. Take A Picture Of Yourself给自己拍照

I started this as a technical challenge a few years ago (trying to automate my Mac PhotoBooth) and proved to be enlightening. Not the actual process of taking a photo of myself each morning, but seeing those photos in a fast moving sequence months after. You can’t fool the camera in the morning. All your problems, joys, frustrations or thrills are so transparent in a photo taken in the first moment of the day. It’s like a message you send to your future self without even knowing the message.

几年前，我把这个当作是一种技术上的挑战（当时试图使我的Mac摄影棚自动化），结果证明非常有启发作用．我指的不是每天早上给自己照相这个过程，而是几个月以后看到以快速播放的形式看到这些相片时的效果．你在早上不能胡弄你的照相机，你的所有表情－－高兴，挫折抑或是兴奋，都会在照片中展现得如此直白，这就像是在给未来的自己发送某种信息，甚至在你不知道信息内容的情况下．

 

32. Identify One Task To Be Canceled想一下哪一项任务是可以取消的

It must be one. Out of your entire to do list for today there must be one task which can be canceled. Sometimes I wake up with the only thought of identifying my canceled task for the day. I usually chose this approach after a very intense and tiring yesterday. It gives me a sense of freedom and flexibility. And most of the time the freed time will make room for something interesting, or at least surprising. It’s like opening your door to the unexpected.

在你全天完成的任务列表中，一定有一项任务是可以取消的．

有时我一醒来就只想从全天的任务中找一项可以取消的任务．我常常会在经历了注意力高度集中并且非常疲惫的昨天后选择这样做．这让我有自由感和灵活性．大多数情况下，取消一项任务后所腾出的时间可以用来做有趣的事情，或者至少是异想不到的事情．这就好比是给自己打开了一扇意想不到的门．

 

33. Chose A Theme Of The Day为当天选一个主题

This works in tandem with your personal mission (if you don’t have a personal mission maybe it’s time to find one). Find one red stripe which will go through your entire day. Like making this day the productivity day, or the observation day, or the money day. This will be the dominant vibe of your entire day. By setting course in the very first moments of the morning you will maximize your chances to actually create your day on that exact theme.

这项工作要与你个人的使命相结合（如果你还没有自己的使命，也许该是为自己寻找一项使命的时候了！）找一根贯穿你全天的红线，比如,让当天成为生产日或者观察日，抑或钞票日,这将成为你全天的主题．从清晨开始就确定全天的整个过程，这将使你围绕这一主题最大可能地创造你的一天．
