8種使你不再害怕做出錯誤決定的方法
Every morning we wake up and face a new day with new challenges. It’s human nature and this is the course of life. Even if I was not always prepared for whatever fate has given me to carry on my shoulders I struggled and I managed to get all things to an end.
每天清晨醒來的時候，我們就得面對了新一天的挑戰。這是一種人類的天性，也是人生的課程之一。即使我不能總做好準備來面對命運帶給我的各種挑戰，但我還是會努力嘗試着順利完成這些任務。
One of the greatest challenges I faced was fear: fear of change, fear of making wrong decisions and fear of holding my point of view. This instinct of fear can mess up our lives distorting the way we look at ourselves and at the people around us. From definitions, fear is a pre-programmed emotion that acts as an instinctual response to potential danger. And this instinctual response causes different physical reactions, because when we are afraid, the adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol are released into the blood stream.
我面臨的最大的一個挑戰就是恐懼：害怕變化，害怕做出錯誤的決定，害怕堅持自己的意見。這種本能的害怕會把我們的生活搞得一團糟，會改變原本我們看待自己和周圍人的眼光。恐懼是對於潛在危險做出的一種本能反應，這種本能的反應還會引發出不同的身體反應。因爲當我們感到害怕時，腎上腺素和應激激素皮質醇都會被釋放到血液中。
1. See beyond the danger. When we face a potential danger we panic and this makes us take wrong decisions or run away from responsibilities. What we should do instead is take a deep breath and think of all possible consequences and implications. Many times, things are not as bad as we think they are.
1.要超越恐懼本身來看待整件事。當我們面臨着一種潛在的危險時，我們會感到驚慌，一驚慌就會導致我們做出錯誤的決定或者逃避責任。我們應該做的事情是深吸一口氣，然後想想整件事可能帶來的各種結果和影響。
2. Take a positive attitude. We are strong enough to manage all the problems and nothing can stop us.
2.要保持積極的態度。我們有足夠的能力來解決所有的問題，沒有什麼事情是能難道我們的。
3. Expand our comfort zone. There are three important zones where we can be situated: the comfort zone, the learning zone and the panic zone. Let’s think of it as three circles one inside another. The unexpected gets us out of the comfort zone and into the learning zone which leads to the panic zone. It was proved by scientists that operating on the edge of our comfort zone is the best place to learn and grow. As long as we are “inside” it’s ok, but if we face a new and different situation we get out of these zones and move into the panic zone. We have to learn how to behave and how to manage the new situations without being afraid of taking wrong decisions. After all, is practice and learning that make these transitions less scary, resulting in an expansion of the comfort zone.
3.拓展我們的舒適區域。以下是幾個三個重要的區域：舒適區域，學習區域和不安區域。讓我們嘗試着想像一下，這三個區域就是三個圈，而且這三個圈是一個套在一個裏面的。那些意想不到的事情把我們帶出了舒適區域，帶進了學習區域，而學習區域正是通向不安區域的。科學家們證實了，擴展我們的舒適區域是學習和成長最有效的一個辦法。只要我們的“內在”沒有問題。但假如我們面臨新的問題，我們會從那些區域裏出來，進入到不安區域。因此，我們不得不學習怎麼處理這種新情況，怎麼樣不會害怕做出錯誤的決定。畢竟，只有不斷的學習與鍛鍊才能讓我們不再感到害怕，從而拓寬了我們的舒適區域。
4. When you want to give up, do one more step. This step is about pushing our limits and becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable. We never know we will succeed unless we actually try.
4.當我們想要放棄是，多走那麼一步。這一步具體是指，發揮我們的極限，並且把對此產生的不安轉換爲習以爲常。只有真正嘗試了，我們才能知道我們到底能不能做到。
5. Do not avoid or postpone tasks and activities. I often find myself postponing and delaying certain activities just because I am afraid of the result. In the end, we still have to do that thing and with time passing it might become even harder and we won’t get rid of it. More that that the pressure and the stress will become more intense. So let’s do things at the right time and feel a great release indifferent the result.
5.不要回避或者延緩任務或者活動。我發現我經常會延遲具體的某些活動，之所以會這樣是因爲我害怕隨之而產生的結果。其實，我們遲早還是要去做這件事的，而且拖得越晚可能就越難完成。越是晚，越會感到壓力大，從而會更緊張。所以說，我們還是在該做某件事的時候把這件事做完吧，同時還能產生一種解脫感。
6. Don’t be afraid of competition. We are just competitors – like all the others. We don’t have to give up fighting just because we are scared. Just because we can’t read fear on our competitors’ face this doesn’t mean they are not scared. The first rule in winning is to participate!
6.不要害怕競爭。我們跟其他人一樣都只是競爭者。我們沒有必要因爲害怕就放棄競爭。不能僅僅因爲我們不能讀出對手腦子的恐懼感，就能說他們不害怕。畢竟，重在參與嘛。
7. Strengthen your will with religious beliefs. If you are a religious person, then you should know that fear is not a God’s will. God wants us to be strong and to carry our problems with strength. Take some time to say a prayer and “have a talk with God”.
7.通過宗教信仰來增強你的意志。如果你是一個有宗教信仰的人，那麼你應該知道恐懼不是上帝的意願。上帝希望我們變強，希望我們勇敢的面對自己的問題。花點時間做個禱告，和上帝好好談談吧。
8. Get enough sleep. Usually when we get into these situations, we neglect one of the most important things: sleep. If our body does not rest enough, there will appear another variable, fatigue, which will aggravate our situation even more. Sleep enough because it’s vital to be fresh when you take important decisions.
8.保證充足的睡眠。通常來說，在這種情況下，我們會忽略一件重要的事情：睡眠。如果我們都不能休息好的話，那麼情況就會變得更糟。只有休息好了，我們才能清醒的做出正確的決定。
