这个10分钟的惯例会增加你的清晰度和创造力

开篇前:一说潜意识,我的第一反应是有点玄学的东西。看了这篇文章后,我发现存在即合理,原来潜意识可以帮我做这么多事情。

“Your subconscious mind works continuously, while you are awake, and while you sleep.” — Napoleon Hill
“无论你在醒着,还是在睡觉时,你的潜意识思想都在持续工作着。”——Napoleon Hill
Your subconscious never rests and is always on duty because it controls your heartbeat, blood circulation, and digestion. It controls all the vital processes and functions of your body and knows the answers to all your problems.
你的潜意识从不休息,且一直在工作中。因为它控制着你的心跳,血液循环和消化系统。 它控制着你体内所有关键的过程和功能,知道你的所有问题的答案。
What happens on your subconscious level influences what happens on your conscious level. In other words, what goes on internally, even unconsciously, eventually becomes your reality.
你潜意识层面上发生的事情会影响你意识层面上发生的事情。换句话说,内心发生的事情,哪怕是无意识的,最终会成为现实。
Consequently, your goal is to direct your subconscious mind to create the outcomes you seek. Additionally, you want to tap into your subconscious mind to unlock connections and solutions to your problems and projects.
因此,你的目标是通过引导你的潜意识思想去创造你所寻找的结果。并且,你想要接入你的潜意识思想,去解锁问题的答案和项目的解决方案。
How?
1. Ten minutes before going to sleep:
睡前10分钟
Take a few moments before you go to bed to meditate on and write down the things you’re trying to accomplish.
Ask yourself loads of questions related to that thing. In Edison’s words, make some “requests.” Write those questions and thoughts down on paper. The more specific the questions, the more clear will be your answers.
睡觉前花点时间沉思并写下你想要完成的事情。
问自己一大堆和那件事有关的问题。用爱迪生的话来说,就是提出一些“要求”。把这些问题和想法写在纸上。问题越具体,你的答案就越清晰。
While you’re sleeping, your subconscious mind will get to work on those things.
当你睡觉时,你的潜意识思想便开始处理这些事情了。
2. Ten minutes after waking up:
睡醒后的10分钟
Research confirms the brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex, is most active and readily creative immediately following sleep. Your subconscious mind has been loosely mind-wandering while you slept, making contextual and temporal connections. Creativity, after all, is making connections between different parts of the brain.
研究证实,大脑,尤其是前额叶皮层,在睡眠后是最活跃和具有创造性的。在你睡觉的时候,你的潜意识一直在松散地走神,建立上下文和时间的联系。毕竟,创造力是大脑不同部分之间的连接。
Consider the “requests” you made of your subconscious just before going to bed. You asked yourself loads of questions. You thought about and wrote down the things you’re trying to accomplish.
考虑着那些昨天晚上你入睡前列出的“需求”。当时你问了自己很多问题,并把你想要做的事情在思考后写了下来。
Now, first thing in the morning, when your creative brain is most attuned, after its subconscious workout while you slept, start writing down whatever comes to mind about those things.
在你睡觉时,你的大脑潜意识一直在工作,此刻你的大脑的创造性达到了最佳状态。 现在,清晨中第一件事是,开始记录下脑海中关于这些事情的所有想法。
To be sure, you’ll need to practice this skill. It may take several attempts before you become proficient. But with consistency, you can become fluent and automatic at achieving creative and intuitive bursts.
可以肯定的是,你需要练习这项技能。在你能够熟练运用之前,可能要经过几次的尝试。但经过持续不断的努力,你的创造力和直觉便会流畅自如地喷涌而出。
Conclusion
You are the designer of your destiny. This simple routine will help you crystallize where you want to go, and how you will get there.
你是自己命运的设计者。这个简单的习惯将帮助你明确你想要去的地方,以及你将如何到达那里。
