What is your recovery rate?How long does it take you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you?Minutes?Hours?Days?Weeks?The longer it takes you to recover, the more influence that incident has on your actions, and the less able you are to perform to your personal best. In a nutshell, the longer it takes you to recover, the weaker you are and the poorer your performance.
You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body ft and, no doubt, accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which your heart and respiratory system recovers after exercise. Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you return to an equilibrium, the healthier you will be. The best example of this behavior is found with professional sports people. They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed opportunity and get on with the game, the better theirperformance. In fact, most measure the time it takes them to overcome and forget an incident in a game and most reckon a recovery rate of 30 seconds is too long!
Imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability. You have been given a script and at the end of each sentence is a full stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence, you start a new one, and although the next sentence is related to the last it is not affected by it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.
Don't live your life in the past!Learn to live in the present, to overcome the past. Stop the past from influencing your daily life. Don't allow thoughts of the past to reduce your personal best. Stop the past from interfering with your life. Learn to recover quickly.
Remember：Rome wasn't built in a day. Refect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed, look at your progress. Don't lie in bed saying to you,“I did that wrong.”“I should have done better there.”No. Look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident. This is a success. You are taking control of your life. Remember this is a step by step process. This is not a make-over. You are undertaking real change here, your aim：reduce the time spent in recovery.
The way forward?
Live in the present. Not in the precedent.
你的恢複速度有多快？你擺脫使你心煩意亂的行為舉止需要多久？幾分鍾？幾小時？幾天？還是幾星期？你恢複需要的時間越長，事件對你產生的影響越大，你做到最佳的可能也就越小。簡單地說，你恢複需要的時間越長，你的勢力就越弱，你的行動性也就越差。
你需要進行鍛煉來保持身體健康，對此你有充分的意識，你也能接受鍛煉後心髒和呼吸係統的恢複速度是衡量健康程度的一個合理標準。同樣的道理，對於困擾你的問題，你擺脫得越快，你恢複平靜的速度越快，你就越健康。專業運動員就是這個道理的最佳範例。他們知道，他們越能很快地忘記—件事情，忘記對一次機會的錯失而全身心地投入比賽，他們就越能很好地發揮。事實上，大部分測試顯示，大多數運動員在比賽中克服並忘記一件事情的時間是30秒鍾，但是他們都認為這樣的恢複時間太長了！
把自己試想為一位在舞台上表演的演員。最好地表演你的角色是你的目標。劇本你已經收到，劇本中每句台詞的結尾都是句號。每次當你讀到一個句子的末尾時，就開始了下一個新的句子。盡管上下兩句相關，但並不會受其影響。你的任務就是用你最好的狀態說出每句台詞。
不要生活在過去！要學會生活在現在，學會克服過去。不要讓過去影響你的日常生活，不要讓過去的思想妨礙你做到最好，不要讓過去幹擾你的生活。要學會快速恢複。
不要讓自己的生命停留在過去！學著去超越過去，在現在生活。不要再讓曆史影響你今日的生活！要學會快速地恢複。
要時刻牢記：羅馬不是一天建成的。對自己的恢複速度要每日反省。每天在你睡覺之前，看一看自己的進步情況。不要躺在**對自己說：“那個我做錯了。”“我本應做得更好的。”不要！對自己的一天進行回顧，當你努力為一件事贏得圓滿結局時，就將其記錄下來。這就是一次成功。你正在掌控自己的人生。要切記，這是一個循序漸進的過程，是不可以跳躍的。在這裏，你正承載著真正的改變，你的目標就是：縮短恢複時間。
接下來又該怎樣做呢？
生活在當前，不是過去。
