6-29
As you get out of bed in the morning, be aware of my presence with you. You may not be thinking clearly yet, but I am. Your early morning thoughts tend to be anxious ones until you get connected with me. Invite me into your thoughts by whispering my name. Suddenly your day brightens and feels more user-friendly. You cannot dread a day that is vibrant with my presence.
You gain confidence through knowing that I am with you-that you face nothing alone. Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: “If such and such happens, can I handle it?” The true question is not whether you can cope with whatever happens, but whether you and I together can handle anything that occurs. It is this you-and-I-together factor that gives you confidence to face the day cheerfully.
当你早上起床时,请留意到我与你同在。你可能还没有清晰的思维,但我有。你早晨的思绪往往充满焦虑,直到你与我连接于我。通过低声呼唤我的名字,邀请我进入你的思维。突然间,你的一天变得明亮而更加友好。你不会对充满我同在的一天感到恐惧。
通过知道我与你同在,你获得了信心——你不是独自面对任何事情。焦虑源于问错了问题:“如果发生这样那样的事情,我能处理吗?”真正的问题不是你是否能应对发生的任何事情,而是你和我一起是否能应对任何发生的事情。正是这种你和我一起的因素给予你信心,让你愉快地面对新的一天。
