生活英语听力文章 第65期:如何快速处理挫败感(2)

 3. Look at the bigger picture. Do your best to gain perspective not just on the issue that is the source of discouragement, but on your relationship to it as well. For example: 3 看看全局。尽你所能获得一个视角，不仅仅基于挫折来源问题,而且基于你们的关系。例如:

Am I feeling this way because I am burned out? Do I need a break? 我这样感觉是因为我精疲力尽吗?我需要休息吗?
What part of this situation is my fault? What can I do differently? What can I learn? 这种情况下的哪一部分是我的错?我能做些什么不一样的事吗?我能学到什么呢?
Am I making progress, but just slower than I had hoped? What lessons have I learned? Am I a better person because of this experience? 是否是因为我取得了很大的进步,但只是比我曾希望慢?我学到了什么教训?我因为这样的经历成了一个更好的人吗?
Who can I talk to for some trusted insight and perspective on this matter? 我可以和哪些人探讨对这件事的看法以获取一些可信的见解和观点?
This is always a big help to me because much of my discouragement stems from unfulfilled expectations. Often a fresh perspective is all I need. 这对我始终是一个很大的帮助,因为我的挫折源于期待值。通常我需要一个全新的视角。
4. Ask: What’s my plan? As I reflect on all the times I have been discouraged, they have been times when I needed to grow. 4 问:我的计划是什么?当每一次我反思挫败感,我感觉我需要成长。
It may be that I needed to learn to set better expectations, that I needed to learn to be more careful in whom I place my trust, 也许我需要学会更好的预期,在我的信任的地方，我需要学会更加小心,
or that I needed to have a different perspective. In each case, I was forced to grow as a person. 或者我需要有一个不同的视角。在每种情况下,我被迫成长。
