時尚雙語:重視自己:現在開始 返老還童
Strengthen Your Boundaries: Love yourself enough to say no to others’ demands on your time and energy. Step back & reassess the situation. A note from me this week over at Twitter
Monthly Feature: I Dare You to Do Something Different:
I am encouraging you and myself, for the entire month of June to put your whole entire beautiful self first. It’s not about ignoring your family members and friends nor becoming totally self absorbed.
It’s simply about making sure you are nurturing and rejuvenating yourself sufficiently on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Be mindful you are not ignoring nor depleting your own energy reserves unwisely and unnecessarily.
This months dare is a double dare and an opportunity to experience how absolutely amazing you would feel if you:
* eat and drank well - you’d be nourished and hydrated
* conscious of your breath - slowing down fast shallow breathing
* quality rest - getting a balance between busy and calm, yin and yang
* said no more often without feeling guilty - strong personal boundaries
* released stress and worry often with regular simple rejuvenation tips
* softened your thinking and refreshed your mind - back in your body
* added more moments of joy and bliss - know what fills you up
* restored your soul by listening to its soft guiding voice - meditate or journal
* spent more time outside to revive your spirit and soul - get grounded
Get Your Groove Back By Rejuvenating You - I Double Dare You:
It’s all about energy in and and energy out:
This month I encourage you to observe just how much time you spend on giving energy out compared to receiving energy in. The ultimate goal of course is to add more and more moments of receiving energy in; so you feel full, whole and complete rather than half empty, drained and depleted.
A more balanced and equal exchange of energy in and out is what we are all aiming for to rejuvenate ourselves naturally.
Emotional upset drains you in an instant:
Personal rejuvenation is even more urgent if you have been exposed to a recent emotional upset. Emotional trauma is one of the quickest and easiest ways to deplete your energy reserves in an instant. It often comes without warning and turns your world upside down. The more intense or the longer the emotional upset continues the greater the focus needs to be on putting yourself first. It takes time and energy to re build your energy levels and internal strength again. Have patience and put yourself first more often.
You only have two choices:
1. Rejuvenate regularly
or
2. Deplete yourself with physical, emotional and mental exhaustion and then wait for the illness to arrive
Start Rejuvenating Now:
Simply put yourself first for the month by focusing on one or more of the above suggestions I have listed (just under the photo).
You may choose to put yourself first by frequently focusing on your breath. When your breathing is shallow and fast your thinking is hurried and fast. You talk fast, eat fast, drink fast, become anxious and work fast. It’s a classic symptom of stress.
By observing your breathe and becoming conscious of slower, deeper breathes you are sending quality, life giving oxygen into your body and brain. You greatly calm your mind and actions along with releasing stress and tension with each long slow exhale. All this and much more happens when you simply choose to put yourself first and focus on your breath.
For me personally I’m going to focus on strengthening my boundaries and releasing stress and worry more often. Sounds like a rejuvenation plan to me.
Now, go forth and rejuvenate.
開闊眼界：別人對你時間以及精力上的要求要勇於說不。重新審視你所處的環境。這個星期我將向你提供一些建議。
一週特色：我希望你能有所改變：
我鼓勵你以及我自己，在這整個七月能把優秀的自己放在第一位，而這並不意味着讓你忽視你的家人以及朋友或完全沉浸於自我之中。
而只是簡單的讓你在身體、情緒和精神層次上能充分的恢復青春恢復自我。要注意你並不是在忽視或是愚笨和沒有必要的耗盡你的精力儲量。
這一個月的勇敢嘗試效果將是加倍的，同時它也是一個讓你感覺驚異的機會，只需要你：
·吃好喝好-滋養你的生命
·關注你的呼吸-放慢那些快而淺的呼吸
·有質量的休息-從繁忙與平靜、陰與陽中找到平衡
·多說不而不會有犯罪感-明確自我與他人的邊界
·經常用簡單而有規律的恢復青春的方法去釋放壓力和擔憂
·柔化你的思想，往你的意識中灌注新鮮血液-迴歸到身體
·增加快樂和福佑的時刻-清楚什麼使你快樂
·通過聆聽內心聲音來恢復你的靈魂-沉思或是記錄
·多在室外來重新振作你的精神和靈魂-來擱淺自己
通過恢復精力來使自己達到最佳狀態-我加倍的激勵你：
所有的一切都只是能量的獲取與釋放:
這個月我鼓勵你去觀察一下你花了多少時間在花費和存儲能量。最終的目標是讓你有更多的機會來儲備；這樣你纔不會覺得空虛或被耗盡而是感覺充足完整。
一個內外更加平衡和均等的能量交換正是我們所有人追尋的自然的返老還童的目標。
感情上的不快能在霎那間擊垮你自己:
自我的恢復顯得更加重要假如你近期陷入了感情的困境。感情上的創傷是最快也是最簡單的在霎那間耗盡你能量的方法。它來時沒有任何預兆但卻能讓你的世界從此一團糟。一旦那種創傷持續的越長越強烈，你所需要投入的關注也越重。恢復你現有的活力和內心的堅強需要時間和體力。因此要有耐心，把自己放在重要的位置。
你只有兩種選擇：
1.定期恢復精力
又或
2.身體、感情以及精神上的精疲力竭來耗盡你自己，隨之而來的就是疾病的到來
現在就開始恢復你的青春：
簡單的花一個月的時間來完成我的建議中的一條或一條以上（照片下面）。
你也許會嘗試用關注呼吸來恢復你的青春。當你發現你的呼吸淺而快，你的思想急促，你的說話進食工作也變得快速而且容易焦慮，這就是傳統的壓力所帶來的症狀。
通過觀察你的呼吸，並且意識到慢而深的呼吸的時候你就懂得了高質量的生活，這種生活向你的身體和大腦傳輸氧氣。每一個緩慢的呼氣都有助於你釋放壓力與緊張，這樣你才能緩和你的思想和行動。只要你看重自己關注自己的呼吸，這些都能或至少大部分會實現。
對我個人而言，明確自己與他人的界限，釋放壓力和擔憂更爲重要。聽起來好像是一個爲我自己量身打造的恢復計劃。
現在就開始返老還童吧。
