1687 東西少了，自由多了｜簡化生活挑戰｜Day 6

13 minutes

'Less stuff equals more freedom.' 『東西少了，自由多了。』

問題：「今天的問題是：What habits are weighing you down rather than lifting you up?'『有哪些習慣讓你感到沉重而非振奮？』」

Femke的回答：

'Well, for me personally, I would say that the first habit is that I go to therapy, and every two weeks, I have a therapy session. But therapy requires daily practice of exercises, and it needs daily consistency, either through writing in a gratitude journal, thinking about specific questions, or meditating. I haven’t been as consistent with these exercises, and that’s something I know I should do more to uplift myself.

Secondly, I tend to think about the past and past difficult situations, sometimes even reliving them. It would be more beneficial for me to switch my mindset and focus more on the present and the future, and my to-do list, to help me reach where I want to go, instead of constantly thinking about what has happened in the past.

Lastly, I’ve noticed that in my daily routines, like cleaning, eating, or dressing, I often rush through things. This rushing causes me to miss out on being present and appreciating a good meal or a meaningful conversation. I need to be more mindful of the present and truly enjoy the moments in my life.'"

「今天，我們有一位特別來賓，來自荷蘭的Femke，我在巴厘島遇見了她。我問她有哪些習慣可能讓她感到沉重而不是振奮。以下是她的分享：

『對我來說，首先，我每兩周參加一次心理治療，但治療需要每天練習一些練習，並且需要每天保持一致性，比如寫感恩日記、思考特定問題或冥想。我沒有一直堅持這些練習，而這正是我知道應該做得更多來振奮自己的事情。

其次，我有時會思考過去的事情和困難的情況，甚至會重新體驗它們。對我來說，更有益的是轉換心態，多關注當下和未來，還有我的待辦清單，這樣可以幫助我達到我想要去的地方，而不是不斷地思考過去發生的事情。

最後，我注意到在日常生活中，比如打掃、吃飯或穿衣服時，我經常匆匆忙忙。這種匆忙讓我錯過了當下的感受，無法真正欣賞一頓美餐或一場有意義的對話。我需要更多地專注於當下，真正享受生活中的每個時刻。』」
