STEP 1: Understanding that you’re not alone & the feeling isn’t permanent.

步驟一：明白自己并非特例或者這種情緒不會(huì)一直都在。

STEP 2: Start believing in yourself; You have the power to let go of negative beliefs about yourself and the power to create positive beliefs that will empower you rather than hinder you.

步驟二：擁有自信。你有足夠的能力趕走消極想法，并對(duì)自己產(chǎn)生一些積極的想法，使自己能夠勇往直前。

STEP 3: Start changing your life in ways that will reflect a change in your attitude towards life.

步驟三：開(kāi)始改變自己生活方式，反映你在生活態(tài)度上的變化。

STEP 4: Surround yourself with people who exhibit qualities that you want to possess.

步驟四：有的人會(huì)展現(xiàn)出你所希望擁有的品質(zhì)，去和這樣的人做朋友。

Visualization.

想象。

Whenever I feel like giving up, I visualize my dream materializing in front of me.

當(dāng)我想要放棄的時(shí)候，我都會(huì)想像自己夢(mèng)想成真。

I imagine I am standing right there looking at my dream vacation place, or spinning the chair at my favorite company, or eating my favorite mom-made dish, or driving that one car I’ve always wanted. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing what I want to do. I make-believe, like a kid.

我會(huì)想像自己站在夢(mèng)想的度假勝地，或者在我最?lèi)?ài)的公司里面上班，或者正在品嘗麻麻做的菜，或者開(kāi)著我一度想要的車(chē)。我閉上眼睛，想像自己此刻正在做著一切我想做的。我像個(gè)孩子一樣做白日夢(mèng)。

This gives me a head start and a much-needed motivation straightaway. But then, you’ve got to work for your goal too! You cannot just go watch a movie after that!

想這樣想讓我感覺(jué)有了全新的開(kāi)始，給我很大的鼓勵(lì)。但是在那之后，你應(yīng)該重新朝著目標(biāo)前進(jìn)，而不是去看場(chǎng)電影。

I make a pros and cons list.

我會(huì)列一份利弊清單。

I often feel the need to give up. I often feel that it’s not worth doing whatever it is that I’m doing, especially if I’m not getting any results.

我經(jīng)常想要放棄。我經(jīng)常認(rèn)為我所做的并不值得繼續(xù)下去，尤其是在我沒(méi)有得到任何實(shí)質(zhì)性成果時(shí)。

During that time, I make a pros and cons list, the pros usually outweigh the cons, which instantly motivates me.

在此刻，我就會(huì)列出利弊清單，利通常大于弊，這可以激勵(lì)我繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。
