Do you ever wonder how those successful people in your office do it?
你有没有想过你办公室的那些成功人士是怎么做的?
According to one expert, there's one thing that every successful person does every single morning without fail that sets them up for the day ahead - and it's so simple that everyone can do it in seconds.
据一位专家称,每一位成功人士每一天早上都会做同样一件事情,从不间断,从而让他们每天都有好的开始。而这件事非常简单,每个人都可以在几秒内完成。
Indeed, as Carole Gaskell, founder of Full Potential Group, a specialist coaching and leadership development company, explains, top CEOs and wealthy people take three minutes every morning just to breathe deeply.
事实上,正如职场顾问公司(Full Potential Group)创始人兼专业教练及公司领导人Carole Gaskell所说,顶级首席执行官和有钱人每天早上会花三分钟进行深呼吸。
'Used daily, apart from boosting health and alleviating stress, mindful breathing has been proven to boost creativity, increase focus and even increase the size of your brain and speed up information processing,' she explains.
她解释道:“每天这样做,除了有利于健康、减轻压力,正念呼吸被证明能够提高创造力,集中注意力,甚至增大脑容量、加快大脑信息的处理速度。”
But, she says there's a very specific technique when it comes to mastering the art of proper breathing.
但是,当谈及到如何正确呼吸时,她说有一个非常专业的技巧。
She explains: 'Eyes open or closed, whatever you prefer, take deep breaths in through your nose, breathing in powerful new energy down into your chest and abdomen and then breathe out very slowly, exhaling stale air, negative feelings and anything that might be holding you back.
她说:“不管你是喜欢眼睛睁开或者闭上,用你的鼻子深深的吸气,直到你的胸腔和腹部都充满了新鲜的空气,然后慢慢的呼出体内的空气,负面情绪以及那些使你踌躇不前的一切烦心事也一并排空。”
Carole adds that most of us ‘think’ too much but mindful breathing connects your head, heart and gut with productive energy flow, improving your effectiveness, decision-making, confidence and peace of mind.
Carole补充道,我们很多人“想”太多,但是正念呼吸让我们的头脑和心脏都充满能量,从而提高我们的效率,做出正确决策,让我们变得更加自信,保持内心的平静。
