双语美文：4种方法让迷失彷徨的你找到方向

 　　We all get confused at times, but prolonged periods of confusion can cause us to feel that we are stuck in a never-ending, foggy web of uncertainty¹.

　　人人都有迷失之时，但过久地陷于其中只能让我们觉得被困在迷茫无尽的不确定中。

　　To those who are currently caught up in the web of confusion, this may not make sense just yet, but stick with me.

　　对于正陷于困惑中的人，这些建议可能暂时不奏效，不过请坚持下去。

　　Here is what you can do to overcome your confusion and find the joy:

　　以下就是攻克迷茫、找到快乐的方法：

　　1. Accept where you are.

　　1、接受自己

　　Accept the fog, accept the confusion and accept the feelings of "stuckness." This is usually a sign that more information needs to be delivered before you can move forward.

　　接受迷茫、困惑，接受这种陷于其中的状态。这通常是一个信号，说明你需要获得更多的信息来走出去。

　　2. Take a deep breath.

　　2、深呼吸

　　Center yourself, and firmly state, "I don't know what to do, and that is okay." When you firmly state your uncertainty, you move out of the fog. The more you focus on your certainty, the more at peace you will feel with where you are at.

　　集中精神，坚定地说：“我知道该怎么做，这是对的。”当你坚定地讲出你的不确定，便能走出迷茫。你越是关注你所确信的东西，也就对自己的处境感到越平和。

　　3. Focus on what you know.

　　3、关注你所了解的

　　When you are confused it can be easy to get stuck in a web of consistent, repetitive thoughts that appear to have no end and no beginning. To clear this, start focusing on what you know and what you feel sure about. When you do this, it will automatically help to weaken the cloud of confusion over your life.

　　当你困惑时，很容易陷入持续反复、没头没尾的想法中去。要清除这些想法，就要专注于你所了解的、确信的东西。这有助于逐渐消散你生活中的困惑。

　　4. Be patient.

　　4、要有耐心

　　Being confused is a sign of change and you may need to let the journey unfold a little bit more before you make a decision. Be at peace with that, and be at peace with the fact that you don’t have all the answers. Just accept the way things are and trust that inspiration will reach you when the time comes to make a decision.

　　困惑也是一种改变信号，也许你需要把眼前的道路看得更清楚一些，才能作出决定。用平常心看待它，也要接受你无法拥有所有的答案。接受万物本来的样子，相信当你做决定时，灵感自然会浮现。

　　The beauty about being stuck and confused in life is that there really is no wrong turn or wrong path.

　　人生陷于困惑的美妙之处，就在于没有对错。

　　Every road traveled is a blessing² in some way, so take the stress out of life's decisions and trust that all roads really do lead home.

　　你走的任何一条路都是一种恩赐，所以不要对人生抉择有过多压力，请相信任何一条路都能带你走向心之所属。
