第158章 不惧未知 勇敢前行
Your Next Big Move Should Scare You
你的下一个大动作本就应该让你感到害怕
By Rachel Feintzeig
Big moments and decisions in our lives can make our stomachs drop. Moving somewhere new， getting married， starting a family—if we're sizing them up realistically， maybe we should be nervous.(Newborns are exhausting; being a manager is hard.) More than half of workers in a recent poll ranked starting a new job as scarier than skydiving or holding a snake.
我们生活中的许多重要时刻和重大决策可能会让我们感到心慌。搬到一个新住处、结婚、组建家庭——如果从实际的角度去评估这些事，也许我们本就应该感到紧张。（毕竟，新生儿确实很累人；做好一个经理也的确很难。）最近的一项调查显示，超过一半的受访者认为，开始一份新工作比跳伞或用手拿起一条蛇更可怕。
First， take a breath， advises Luana Marques， an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the author of a ing book about harnessing anxiety. Calm your nerves by meditating， taking a walk or talking to a friend. Then， with clearer eyes， ask yourself: If I said yes， would taking on the disfort of a new thing get me closer to where I want to be in my career or relationships?
首先，深呼吸，哈佛医学院精神病学副教授卢安娜·马尔克斯（Luana Marques）这样建议，她同时也是一本即将出版的关于掌控焦虑的新书作者。先通过冥想、散步或与朋友交谈来让自己平静下来。然后，以更清晰的视角问自己：如果我选择接受这件事，那么接纳新事物所带来的不适，是否能让我更接近自己在事业或人际关系方面的目标？
It's human to overplicate the moments that matter， and that's OK， says Oded Netzer， a Columbia Business School professor who studies the use of data in decision-making. Doing that makes the decision harder for ourselves， but it matches the gravity of the situation.
哥伦比亚商学院一位研究决策数据应用的教授欧戴德·内策尔（Oded Netzer）表示，过分复杂化那些重要时刻是人之常情，而且这也是可以接受的。虽然这种做法会让我们做决策变得更困难，但所处局面的重要程度的确需要我们这样做。
Spiraling into our fear， he says， ultimately makes us more confident in our call because we've done our due diligence instead of blindly trusting our intuition.
他说，陷入恐惧之中最终会让我们对自己的选择更自信，因为我们已经尽力做到考虑周全，而不是盲目相信自己的直觉。
