生活英语听力文章：坚信自己所坚持的
坚信自己所坚持的
I Said It And I Meant It!
言出必行!
Think of the last time you exercised and said to yourself, “I can do it” or “I can do three more reps” or “I can go another 10 minutes” with grit and determination. Did your words make you push harder? Did you give your very best effort to achieve your desired outcome?
回想一下上次你锻炼时对自己说的那些豪言壮语——“我可以的”、“我还能多做三个”或“我还能再坚持十分钟”，它们有没有让你更加努力?你是否为了达成目标倾尽全力了呢?
Now think of an occasion when you said things like “I am tired today” or “I don’t think I can do anymore” or “I can’t go any longer.” What happened? Did this little voice in the back of your mind sound defeated? Were you able to push yourself or did you give up?
那么现在想想每次你说“我今天好累”或者“我再也做不了了”，又或者“我再也坚持不下去了”这些话的时候，结果又怎样了呢?你能克服脑海里这样微不足道的念头吗?你能督促自己吗?还是你放弃了?
The common denominator in both circumstances is your inner voice. Yet the results are dramatically different depending on the nature of your “conversation.” Your statements can either gave you energy to push harder or they can suck the life out of you and cause you to quit.
这两种情况的共同点在于：它们都反映了你内心的声音。但根据这两种“自我对话”性质上的差异，结果是截然不同的。你的心理暗示要么给你动力让你更努力，要么消耗生命让你从此自暴自弃。
The Power of Self-Talk post describes how the conversations we have with ourselves influence every part of our lives. If our internal dialog is positive and focuses on our talents, skills and abilities we are encouraged, optimistic and more likely to achieve our goals.
一篇名为“自我对话的力量”的文章揭示了自我对话如何影响我们生活的每一部分的奥秘。如果我们的心理暗示是积极的而且集中于自身天赋、技能和能力，那么我们就会倍受鼓舞，乐观向上，从而更容易实现自己的目标。
On the other hand, if our thoughts focus on our faults, mistakes, weaknesses, insecurities, or fears, it will be virtually impossible to feel confident and advance our lives forward.
相反，如果我们的思想集中于自身缺陷错误，心神不定，破绽百出，畏首畏尾，那就几乎不可能有自信，生命也得不到升华。
All of this illustrates that what we say to ourselves impacts our emotions, attitude and outlook. Since this internal dialog is so important, how can we use it to help us achieve our personal best?
所有这些都表明，我们的情绪、态度和观念都受自己心理暗示的影响。既然自我对话如此重要，那么我们该如何利用它们以做最棒的自己呢?
The answer is simple. Be intentional about saying things to yourself that will help you achieve your desired outcome.
答案很简单：刻意暗示自己一些有助于实现预定目标的话语。
Guiding Statements
导向型话语
Throughout my career I have consistently focused on using what I call guiding statements- statements designed to help direct my thinking.
在整个职业生涯中，我都始终把精力集中于那些能引导我思维的话语，我称它们为导向型话语。
Here are some examples of the types of guiding statements I say to myself.
以下是我自己使用的一些导向型话语类型的例子。
If I am working on an important project that must be completed today I will say, “I will get this done today” over and over again throughout the day.
If I am listening to someone and feel I have something important to contribute I will say, “Listen and don’t interrupt.”
If I am getting frustrated or defensive, I will repeat in my mind, “Speak in love.”
If I am thinking about something that is depressing me I will say, “I am not going to think about XX (failure, mistake or blunder) any longer. I have learned all I can learn and I am moving on”, then I use my self-control to change my thinking.
If I want to think positive or optimistic thoughts, I will use positive affirmations such as, “I can do it”, “I will be successful at this”, “I will give a killer presentation”, “I will earn that promotion”, “I will walk across the stage and get that award” or “I am getting better everyday.” There are literally thousands of positive statements, individually designed, that can help you focus your thoughts in a positive direction.
如果我正在做一项很重要的工作，而且今天内就要完成，我会一整天不断对自己说：“我今天会把它做完的”。如果我在听别人说话的时候觉得自己有不同意见，我会对自己说：“不要打断他”。如果我很沮丧或。。。。，我会在脑海中一遍遍重复：“不要恶语伤人”。如果我在想一件让我很郁闷的事，我会对自己说：“我再也不会想这些事情(失败、失误或大错事)了。能学的我都学了，并且还在不断进步。”然后通过自我控制改变想法。如果我想变得积极乐观，我会给予自己正面肯定，如：“我能做到的”、“我会成功的”、“我的演讲肯定会征服听众”、“我会争取到那个升职机会的”、“我将走上台领取属于我的荣誉”或者“我一天比一天优秀”。有成千上万种为你量身定制的积极话语，它们将引领你的思想走向积极乐观。
The extensive research on this subject proves without a shadow of doubt that the things we say to ourselves influence our beliefs, attitudes and actions and ultimately the level of success, happiness and fulfillment we enjoy.
对这一话题的广泛研究证明，自我对话会影响我们的信念，态度和行动并最终影响我们的成就感，幸福度和满足感。
Positive thoughts, spoken out loud to ourselves become positive statements, and if taken one step further, become guides for our thinking on a daily basis.
大声对自己说出积极的想法会形成积极的暗示。如果再进一步，就会成为我们每天思想的向导。
Yesterday I played tennis with my brother. In the third set I was so delirious from physical exhaustion that I struggled to keep track of the score. I even lost track of who was serving. I knew if I wanted to win, I would need to step up my game, concentrate and give 100% of myself. So after every point, I kept saying to myself “focus, focus, focus, focus, focus” until I was completely focused on what I wanted to do.
昨天我和我弟弟打了一场网球赛。到第三局时我已经累得精疲力竭了，不但没得分，甚至连该谁发球都不知道了。当时我知道，如果我想赢，我就得振奋士气，全神贯注比赛，打出最好的水平。所以，接下来我不断暗示自己集中精力，直到我完全进入状态。
Repetition of a simple positive statement and the resulting focus allowed me to give that extra effort. My positive statement became my reality and the tipping point for the big win!
不断重复这种简单的积极暗示让我得以集中精力，更加努力比赛，也让我展现了最好的水平并成为我后来完胜的关键。
How to Use Guiding Statements
我们该如何运用它呢?
Repetition is the key to effective guiding statements. The more you repeat these statements in your mind with vigor and passion, the more you will believe in them.
重复是让它发挥作用的关键。你充满活力与激情地在脑海中重复越多这些积极暗示，你就越会相信它们。
It’s also possible to use these types of statements to effectively reprogram your thinking. Repetition over a long period of time can replace negative self-defeating thoughts, reservations and fears with positive, encouraging and inspirational thoughts. You can become the next Rocky. Really.
运用这种暗示有效改变思维方式也是有可能的。长期地重复它们可以减除不自信，恐惧和保守等消极思想，取而代之的是积极向上，鼓舞人心。你就是下一个神话。
If you want to reprogram some negative thinking, write out your positive affirmations and read them throughout the day. Recently I saw John Maxwell at a leadership event carrying a laminated card with his personal goals and positive statements. This card accompanies him everywhere he goes as a constant reminder of his desired outcomes.
如果你想要改变某些消极思想，那么把你对自己的肯定写出来并保持一整天都重复朗读。最近我在一次领导层活动中看到约翰·马克尔维斯(John Maxwell)了，他随身带着一叠卡片，上面写着他的个人目标和对自己的积极暗示。他走到哪就把卡片带到哪，以提醒自己不要忘了预定目标。
I realize this is a tough subject to cover in a short blog post but don’t under estimate the value of this lesson. Using this strategy over the years has allowed me to control my thinking by programming the thoughts that go through my head.
我知道仅凭一篇简短的博客文章很难说明问题，但也不要低估了这一课的价值。这些年来，我就是用这一方法改变了自己的心态和思维。
My ability to control my thinking has given me total confidence that I can do anything I put my mind to. If that negative voice in the back of my mind opens it’s mouth, I shut it down and change my thoughts with my guiding statements.
这种自制力给了我全面的自信，让我坚信只要努力就没有我做不到的事。如果脑中那些消极思想蠢蠢欲动，我就会用这种暗示法把它们镇压下去。
Using positive affirmations and guiding statements opens your mind to see solutions and opportunities that would normally be overlooked. As a natural consequence, you’ll feel better about yourself and most importantly you will be able to guide your thoughts to help you achieve your goals.
给自己一些积极的肯定和暗示，你就能解放思想，找到问题的解决方法，看到通常被忽视的机遇。这样，你自然而然能看到更好的自己。最重要的是，你有能力引导自己的思想并实现目标。
Let me challenge you to start using these types of statements today. Don’t just utter the words. Say it like you mean it! These statements are mini goals that pack a powerful punch.
接受我的挑战吧，今天就开始对自己运用这种暗示。切忌空谈，定要言出必行!这些暗示是小目标，但能给你强大力量。
