2021-03-01 清晨朗讀會

    

Hi, I'm John, and I want to help you learn English. 這裡有純正又充滿磁性的美音,這裡有多樣化的學習素材(目前推送300多篇不同類型英文材料),這裡已經有超過六萬充滿激情的英語學習者,這裡更是共同進步,實現夢想的出發點和加油站!關注清晨朗讀會,跟我一起讀,讓優美的晨讀開啟你充滿希望的每一天!

Good morning!

今天的文章來自Leo Babauta,是關於如何處理生活中的壓力。

Leo也許有點老生常談(還提到了經常被取笑的「mindful dishwashing」),但有時候體會一個東西需要重複。對於英語學習來講,重複類似的內容就更有好處!

Have fun!

John

p.s. 5月26號的講座報名人數已經突破3600人,謝謝大家的支持!如果還沒有報名,可以掃一下文章底部海報中的二維碼了解講座詳情。另外,也有人問關於講座中要抽取的1對1做計劃的機會:如果沒有被抽到是否還有機會?我在「在行」上註冊了一個頁面,計劃在國內的時候每周見幾個學員,幫他們定製計劃。之前我沒有在這裡提過,但試了幾次,效果還不錯,所以我想可以在這裡提了。目前的價格為650元,今後可能會往上調。如果感興趣,可以在在行上搜我的名字,或者通過公眾號的菜單去看看。

Three Practices for the Overwhelmed, Stressed, Anxious

By Leo Babauta

Many of us feel overwhelmed by all we need to do, and it can be downright stressful.

I』d like to share three practices to take you from overwhelmed to just whelmed.

You can’t eliminate stress, anxiety or the feeling of being overwhelmed from your life, nor would you want to. However, you can see them as wonderful places to practice some amazing things that will help in all areas of your life.

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious … you can do one or more of these three practices:

The Practice of Training in Uncertainty. When you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, it comes from a feeling of uncertainty. We don’t know how things are going to go, we worry that we can’t do it all, we don’t know how we’re going to do with any of it, we’re uncertain that we’re good enough to handle all of this. Uncertainty. Our minds don’t like that feeling, and we want stable ground under our feet, something solid, certain, or reassuring. Unfortunately life never gives us that reassuring certainty. So we’re always running, always trying to cope with the uncertainty by doing as much as we can, making lists, finding the perfect software or system, running to distractions. Instead, we can train our minds to stay with the uncertainty, and gradually become more comfortable in this state. And then we can be at peace in the middle of chaos. 

The Practice of Letting Go. When we’re stressed out, it’s because we’re attached to something — attached to doing everything, attached to how people see us, attached to meeting a goal or deadline or reaching some outcome, attached to our self-image. What if we could let go of these attachments, and just be in the moment? Things would suddenly become easier. Luckily letting go is something that’s within our power. 

The Practice of Doing Just One Activity. Our minds are stressed and overwhelmed because we’re thinking about our uncertain future … but what if we learned to trust the present moment? What if, instead, we just fully immersed ourselves in the activity before us? This is actually a letting go practice, and it’s also a being-fully-present practice. Just fully be in the activity you’re doing, just one activity. Just read this post. Just answer this single email. Just wash this one dish. As if it were the only activity and the most important activity in the world. Because it is. 

These are all transformative practices, and you can practice them one at a time or one after the other (in the order above, most likely).

Each only takes a moment, but they can transform your world. Try them, with love in your heart, and see a deep trust in yourself start to grow.

什麼是清晨朗讀會?

這裡就是清晨朗讀會。我每天早上6點左右發送可以模仿和朗讀的材料,包括語音和文本。希望我們能夠每天一起練習。

如何使用此練習材料

較理想的狀態

先聽一遍我讀的語音

再聽一遍,這次跟著模仿(聽不懂你模仿的沒關係,跟不上也沒關係,就儘量模仿你聽到的音!)

朗讀一遍原文

這個時候才花點時間查不懂的內容(但查詢的時間不要超過總練習時間的三分之一!)

1-3步驟再重複2-3遍

發到朋友圈裡,告訴朋友你今天練了英語!(對我來講,日常的轉發與分享是最大的支持和幫助,提前感謝!)

起碼要達到的狀態

聽一遍

跟著模仿一遍

朗讀一遍

注意⚠️:聽的時候最好不要看原文,聽不懂100%沒關係,你要是能聽得懂100%那還學什麼?


王淵源John是誰?

我的中文名字叫王淵源,英文名字叫John Gordon,是個美國人,在中國呆了十幾年了,從事了14年的英文教育工作,接觸過好幾十萬中國同學。讓我一直很困惑的一件事情是很多中國朋友學了很長時間的英文,但並沒有一個很好的學習效果。而我知道語言學習並不是那麼神秘的事情,只要堅持一些簡單的事情,就能夠學會。我希望我能夠幫助大家解決動力問題、方法問題以及材料問題。(更正式的介紹可以回復「王淵源」)
