You can’t just stop worrying. Worrying has been a huge positive in my life.

你不可能停止擔憂。擔憂其實可以給生活中帶來些積極的東西。

There is lots of evidence that worriers are better prepared for life’s challenges and so tend to do better in the long run. I wouldn’t give it up at all.

許多證據證明擔心是爲了更好地迎接生命中的挑戰，而且長期來說是積極地。我是不會完全不擔心的。

But, it is possible to live better with worry. Mediation and mindfulness (tons of articles and books on how), even for just 10 minutes a day, makes a huge difference. There you learn to worry without fear for one thing.

但是，和擔憂和平相處也是可以的。冥想和專注（就像現在讀書讀報一樣），哪怕只是一天堅持10分鐘，也會有巨大的改變。這樣讓你慢慢不再害怕擔憂某件事情。

Estimates I’ve seen of personality types suggests there might be about 10% of the population that does what we do. That seven hundred million people on the planet presently. You’re in good company.

也許根據個性類型來說，10%的人和我們一樣。地球上有7億人。其實有很多人在陪着你呢。

Keep on telling this to yourself. I read this quote somewhere and kept it saved on my phone to remind myself - 'Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but, takes you nowhere.’

一直對自己說。我讀到了這計劃，一直存在手機裏提醒自己-“擔憂是一個搖椅。它會對你產生影響，但是它永遠都在原地。”

Divert your mind

轉移注意力

Detach yourself from the chain of thoughts that worry you. Go out. Do something. Keep yourself busy.

把你的想法從那些讓你擔憂的事情分離出來。出去走走。做點事情。讓你自己忙起來。

Talk it out

說出來

This works for a lot of people. Talk to somebody who really understands you. If they are unavailable, get online. There are many anxiety forums where people are there to listen.

這一招對很多人有用。和真正懂你的人說。如果他們沒時間，就上網。網上有很多論壇裏的人可以聽你傾訴。

Take a break from your schedule

在你的時間表在外休息一下

Get a holiday with your family, your friends or just tour a new city alone. You will return rejuvenated.

和你的家人，朋友去度假，或者只是在一個新的城市自己旅行。回來的時候你會煥發全新的激情。

Write a journal

寫日記

I experienced that writing your worries gives better clarity, reduces the convolution in your head and decreases the frequency of worrisome thoughts.

我經歷過，寫下憂慮讓你更清楚自己的狀態，減輕心理負擔，減少心煩意亂的情況。

Watch something motivating

看點積極地東西

A good Ted talk, inspiring movie, or video sometimes gives us the confidence and courage to do something, moving past our worries.

一個好的TED演講，鼓舞人心的電影或者視頻，有時候會讓我們做事的時候更加自信，更受鼓舞，來幫助我們走出憂慮。

All in all, don't take life that seriously. Remember that you have only one life to live. It's almost no use wasting it over a lot of things we worry about. Breathe. It will get better.

總之，不要把生活太當回事。記住你只能活一輩子。浪費時間去擔心很多事情是幾乎完全沒用的。深呼吸。一切都會更好的。
