重新思考正向思考的力量

大家好!歡迎返到我哋嘅頻道。今日,我哋會分享《Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation》呢本書嘅幾個關鍵要點。呢本書係由Gabriele Oettingen寫嘅,揭示咗點樣重新思考正向思考,從而更有效咁實現我哋嘅目標。

最後,Oettingen強調,僅僅依靠正向思考並唔夠。現實中嘅障礙反而可以成為我哋實現夢想嘅推動力。只要我哋能夠正視這些障礙,並制定有效嘅計劃,我哋就能夠更好咁實現自己嘅目標。

Overcoming Fear - My Journey Through Storytelling and Building Confidence

Yes, I was extremely nervous. My heart raced, my stomach churned with anxiety, and the emergency exit door beside me seemed like a beacon of escape. "It’s not too late to leave now," I thought. Although I had accumulated public speaking experiences over the years, standing before two hundred people who had been drinking and expected to be entertained with stories was different. My mind raced with thoughts of failure—blank stares, silent rejection, boos, and even the possibility of having drinks thrown at me. The pressure was immense.

It was my mentor who first inspired me to sign up for a storytelling course. He took the plunge in his seventies and found it exhilarating, claiming it could also benefit my career. At the time, I was working in sales, and he wisely said, "Everyone likes a good storyteller. The more people connect with your stories, the more you can sell!" I didn’t plan on switching careers to storytelling, but I felt stuck in the comfort zone of my life and wanted to challenge myself. I believed that pushing these boundaries would improve my emotional resilience. So, I debated between taking a storytelling course and skydiving. Now, I wished I had chosen skydiving.

The moment arrived. The host's voice boomed through the room: "Please welcome our next storyteller, Victor Leung!" I stepped out, grabbed the microphone, and launched into my six-minute story. Most of my material was about my family. I opened with, "My cooking skills are so bad that last week I made egg fried rice, and even the eggs complained about their fate. They said, 'We thought we were going to be omelets, not hostages in this disaster.'" It was a silly, light-hearted joke, but some people chuckled. Those few chuckles gave me enough confidence to keep going, delivering more engaging stories and eliciting more reactions. In the end, the performance was a success. None of the nightmarish scenarios I imagined came true. It was actually fun and thrilling, an experience that left me brimming with adrenaline and newfound confidence.

From that night on, I continued storytelling, gradually gaining confidence, even though not every performance was a hit. There were moments when I bombed, telling the same story in the same way to different audiences with mixed reactions. Sometimes, I encountered hecklers. Once, I was even yanked off stage during an open mic for running over my time. But these worst-case scenarios weren’t as catastrophic as I’d feared. Over time, I learned to observe audience reactions, improve my timing, and interact more naturally. I even discovered how to measure success with "LPM" (laughs per minute), a metric I'd never known existed. I found that tougher crowds honed my skills more than easy audiences, and those so-called "bad" nights paved the way for the "good" ones. All of this expanded my comfort zone, and the confidence I built carried over into all areas of my life.

To take control of our lives, we first need to take control of ourselves, and confidence is key to achieving this. True, sincere confidence—not arrogance—is the fuel that propels us through challenges. It empowers us to interact healthily with others, take risks, and seize opportunities. Confidence is one of the most important pillars for a fulfilling life, whereas the opposite—living in fear, doubt, insecurity, and worry—can be destructive.

How do we build confidence and bridge the gap between who we are and who we want to be? Two factors play crucial roles: self-efficacy and self-worth.

Self-efficacy is the belief that we can accomplish a task, directly influencing our ability to meet our goals. People with high self-efficacy view challenges as opportunities rather than threats because they trust in their abilities and resilience. Even if they fall short, they know the journey will help them grow and improve.

For me, stepping on that stage for the first time was about building self-efficacy. It was a testament to embracing discomfort, facing fears head-on, and learning from both victories and failures. The journey to confidence isn't linear or easy, but it's one worth taking—for your career, your relationships, and your overall well-being.

克服恐懼 —— 我在說故事與建立自信中的旅程

是的,我非常緊張。我的心跳加速,胃部因焦慮而翻滾,旁邊的緊急出口像是一盞指引逃生的明燈。「現在離開還不算晚吧?」我心想。儘管這些年來累積了一些公開演講的經驗,但站在兩百名喝著酒、期待被故事娛樂的人面前,感覺完全不同。我的腦海中充斥著失敗的念頭——呆滯的目光、無聲的拒絕、噓聲,甚至可能有人向我扔飲料。壓力大得無以復加。

是我的導師首次啟發我報名參加一個說故事的課程。他在七十多歲時毅然參加,並表示這讓他感到振奮,還認為這對我的職業生涯也有幫助。當時,我從事銷售工作,他明智地說:「每個人都喜歡聽好故事。你的故事越能讓人產生共鳴,你就越能賣出產品!」我並沒有打算轉行成為說故事的人,但我覺得自己生活在舒適圈裡停滯不前,渴望挑戰自我。我相信突破這些界限能提升我的情緒韌性。於是,我在參加說故事課程和跳傘之間猶豫不決。現在,我希望自己當時選擇了跳傘。

那一刻到來了。主持人的聲音在房間裡迴盪:「讓我們歡迎下一位說故事者,Victor Leung!」我走上前,拿起麥克風,開始了我的六分鐘故事。大部分內容是關於我的家人。我開場說:「我的廚藝差到上週我做了蛋炒飯,連雞蛋都在抱怨自己的命運。他們說,‘我們本以為會變成煎蛋,而不是成為這場災難的人質。’」這是一個愚蠢的輕鬆笑話,但有些人笑了。這些零星的笑聲給了我足夠的信心繼續下去,講出更有吸引力的故事並引起更多的反應。最終,這場表演很成功。我想像中的那些可怕場景都沒有發生。這實際上既有趣又刺激,讓我充滿了腎上腺素和全新的自信。

從那天晚上開始,我繼續講故事,逐漸建立起自信,儘管並不是每次表演都很成功。有時我失敗了,對不同的觀眾以相同的方式講同一個故事,但反應卻參差不齊。有時我遇到了擾亂者。有一次,甚至在一場開放麥克風的活動中,因為超時而被拉下了舞台。但這些最糟糕的情況並不像我擔心的那麼災難性。隨著時間的推移,我學會了觀察觀眾的反應,改善自己的節奏,更自然地互動。我甚至發現了一個名為「每分鐘笑聲」(LPM)的成功指標,是我以前從未聽說過的。我發現,困難的觀眾比容易的觀眾更能磨練我的技巧,而那些所謂的「糟糕」夜晚為「美好」夜晚鋪平了道路。所有這一切都拓展了我的舒適區,而我建立起來的自信延伸到了生活的各個方面。

要掌控我們的生活,首先需要掌控自己,而自信是實現這一目標的關鍵。真正、真誠的自信——而非自大——是推動我們克服挑戰的燃料。它使我們能夠健康地與他人互動,敢於冒險並抓住機會。自信是充實人生的最重要支柱之一,而反之——生活在恐懼、懷疑、不安全感和擔憂中——可能是破壞性的。

我們如何建立自信,並在我們現在的自己與理想中的自己之間架起橋樑?有兩個因素至關重要:自我效能感和自我價值感。

自我效能感是我們能完成任務的信念,直接影響我們實現目標的能力。具有高自我效能感的人將挑戰視為機會,而非威脅,因為他們信任自己的能力和韌性。即使他們未能達成目標,他們也知道這段旅程會幫助他們成長和進步。

對我而言,第一次站上舞台就是為了建立自我效能感。這是一種擁抱不適、直面恐懼、並從成功與失敗中學習的見證。自信的旅程並不是線性或容易的,但這是一趟值得的旅程——對你的職業、你的關係和你的整體幸福來說。

A Guide to Mindful Acceptance

Dealing with anxiety and cravings has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. I tried every tip out there—distracting myself, challenging my thoughts, even trying to ignore them altogether. But none of that really worked. I’d end up even more stressed, wondering why I couldn’t just “get over it.”

Recently, though, I came across a different approach, and it’s honestly changed how I handle tough emotions. Instead of pushing away the anxiety or cravings, I began to just accept them. It might sound strange, but stay with me, because this simple shift has made a big difference for me.

The classic way people tell you to handle anxiety is to question and challenge negative thoughts. For example, if I thought, “Everyone thinks I’m weird,” I’d try to replace it with, “No, people probably don’t notice.” But when you’re really anxious about social situations, it’s hard to believe those new, positive thoughts. It feels like you’re just lying to yourself. And honestly, just trying not to think about it at all feels impossible! It’s like trying not to think about a pink elephant—suddenly, that’s all you can think about. So this approach never felt right for me.

Then I learned about a different approach that’s more about observing and accepting what you feel, instead of fighting it. Rather than trying to shut down my anxious thoughts before a social gathering or while talking to someone new, I’d just notice them. If I felt nervous, I’d acknowledge it, feel where that nervousness showed up in my body, and focus on my breathing. It’s not about getting rid of the anxiety but about realizing, “Okay, I’m anxious in this situation, but that’s okay. I can handle this feeling.” And here’s the surprising part: when I stopped resisting my anxiety, it started feeling less intense.

One example that really sticks with me is from my visits to my grandfather in the hospital. Every time I left, I felt a mix of guilt and sadness. Before, I’d try to shake off those feelings, which only made them worse. But I started a new practice where, after each visit, I’d sit on a bench outside, close my eyes, and let myself feel those emotions fully. I imagined my feelings like dark clouds and my breath like a gentle breeze blowing them away. The guilt and sadness would eventually fade. Sometimes, a lingering heaviness would stick around, but I learned to sit with it. I didn’t need to push it away; it was okay to feel sad. This small change helped me feel more at peace, even during tough times.

Another place this approach helped was with cravings, especially around things like binge-watching TikTok. I used to feel guilty about spending hours scrolling through videos, telling myself, “I won’t do it tonight.” But shifting from “I won’t” to “I want to” changed everything. I started focusing on wanting to do things that felt better for me in the long run, like reading a book, spending time with friends, or getting a good night’s sleep. I’d remind myself of how much better I felt when I chose these things. This way, I wasn’t fighting the craving to scroll through TikTok; I was just choosing something that felt better. Surprisingly, this made it much easier to stick to my goals.

This same approach worked for other cravings, like the urge to scroll through TikTok. Instead of trying to make the urge disappear, I started observing it. When I felt the pull to open the app, I’d pause and check in with how my body felt. Maybe there was some restlessness or a bit of boredom. Rather than giving in immediately, I’d imagine the urge like a wave building up. Waves rise and fall, but they always fade. I reminded myself that even if I didn’t open TikTok right away, the urge would eventually disappear on its own. This helped me break the habit of mindless scrolling and enjoy more intentional moments of downtime.

Both anxiety and cravings can feel like waves crashing over us. But by simply observing them, without fighting or judging, I’ve learned to let these feelings come and go. This shift has been a game-changer for me. Now, instead of getting frustrated with myself, I feel calmer and more in control.

So if you’re struggling with anxiety, cravings, or just tough emotions in general, maybe give this approach a try. Don’t fight it. Just observe, breathe, and let it be. You might find, like I did, that sometimes the easiest way to overcome something is by not fighting it at all.
