那麼首先讓我們想想什麼情緒最容易陷入惡性循環。最明顯的例子之一就是我們都知道的焦慮情緒。比如說：醫生告訴你必須要做個手術，這就會讓我們不自覺地陷入對自身的擔憂。
But since worrying takes away your appetite and your sleep, it's not good for you. But you can't stop worrying, and therefore you get additionally worried that you are worrying. And then furthermore because that is quite absurd and you are mad at yourself because you do it, you are worried because you worry because you worry. That is a vicious circle.
由於焦慮情緒會影響你的食慾和睡眠，所以這對你可不是什麼好事。但你並不能消除焦慮的情緒，因此，你的憂心忡忡會加劇你對自己的擔心。接下來，你會進一步因為自己的胡思亂想而心緒煩躁，這就是惡性循環。
So now, can you allow your mind to be quiet? Isn't it difficult? Because the mind seems to be like a monkey, jumping up and down and jabbering all the time. Once you've learned to think, you can't stop. And an enormous number of people devote their lives to keeping their minds busy and feel extremely uncomfortable with silence.
那麼現在，你可以讓自己情緒平復下來嗎？很困難吧？因為你的大腦就像是一隻嘰嘰喳喳、不停上躥下跳的猴子，一旦你開始胡思亂想，它就根本停不下來了。而且很多人一輩子都在讓大腦想東想西，一旦停下來就會非常不自在。
