现代社会人们面临着越来越大的压力、身心俱疲,为何不测测自己的压力大小,给自己“放个假”呢?
After years of pushing myself to the limit, one day in 2009 I woke up and found that I couldn’t get out of bed. My body wouldn’t function.
过去多年我曾一直将自己逼到极限,但是2009年有一天当我醒来之后,我发现自己无法起床,我的身体完全不能动!
I was in my mid-30s, running training companies in Singapore. I loved my job. I had a great time socialising, but I wasn’t looking after myself. I was living in a lovely apartment, but I remember walking through the door one day and thinking, ‘I don’t really live here, because I’m away so often’.
我当时30多岁,在新加坡经营一家培训公司。我热爱我的工作。我有很多时间去和人打交道,但是我却没有照顾好自己。我住在一幢很漂亮的公寓里,但是我记得有一天走过房间门的时候我想:“我其实不住在这儿,因为我经常外出。”
I would send emails at 3am, then be up again at 6am. I was on a treadmill that I couldn’t see was having an effect…
我会在凌晨3点的时候发邮件,然而6点的时候又起来。我在跑步机上锻炼身体,但是却完全看到不有什么效果…

Your results
你的分数及分析结果:
0–10 If you scored 0 for many answers, you’re taking good care of yourself and your emotions; perhaps you’ve developed practices for switching off. Look carefully at the questions you scored 1 or 2 for — now is the time to address areas of your life that feel overwhelming, frustrating or disappointing. It is not a case of ‘fixing’ these areas; but about asking yourself what you need and what you wish to give.
0-10分:如果你许多答案都是0分,那就说明你很好地照顾了自己和你的情绪;也许你已经养成了抵制压力的习惯。好好看看那些得1分或者2分的题目,现在是时候解决那些生活中让你不知所措、沮丧或者失望的问题了。“修复”这些方面并不是什么难事儿,但是重要的是问问你自己需要什么、想要给与些什么。
11–20 Sometimes, it’s harder to pause when everything on the surface seems good, albeit with a nagging sense of unease. It feels selfish to complain, but you can’t seem to stop worrying about what might go wrong, or you don’t feel passionate about life any more. Take the chance to take a break, before things get ahead of you. Be ready to ask yourself uncomfortable questions, but recognise that these are key to opening up your horizons.
11-20分:有时尽管有一种挥之不去的不安感,但是当表面上看起来一切都好时候,真的很难停下来。抱怨是自私的,但是你总是不由自主地担心有什么事儿会出错,或者你对生活不再抱有激情了。在事情超出你的控制之前,找机会好好休息一下。要准备好问自己可能会让你不舒服的问题,但要意识到这是打开你眼界的关键。
21–40 The signs are there for you: your body and/or your heart are showing you it’s time to take better care of yourself, to give yourself a bit of space. It might be frightening to think of spending time alone, with no phone to check and only a blank page. But deep down, you know you need this, even if you fear pausing may be setting yourself up for more disappointment, confusion or heartache. Keeping going is the one thing that is keeping you from falling apart. It is important to be gentle with yourself as you pause and allow your life to slow down, to let what really matters to you come to the surface
21-40分:有迹象表明:你的身体和精神都在告诉你,是时候好好照顾自己了,给自己一点儿空间。想到花时间独处,没有手机,只有一张空白的纸,这可能会令人感到恐惧。但是在内心深处,你知道你需要这样做,即使你害怕停下来可能会让你更加失望、困惑和心痛。坚持下去是防止你崩溃的一个方法。停下来的时候对自己温柔一点儿很重要,让你的生活放慢一点儿脚步,关注那些对你来说真正重要的事情。
