寧靜的心跡(113) 了解是改變的第一步

不要急於改變自己，如果對自己缺乏了解，會增加我們改變的難度。首先我們要知道自己的天性，然後了解自己的習慣，最後才能認識自己的本質。通過對自己的了解，我們能辨別真正的自己，並開始改變。

例如，如果我們急著擺脫負面情緒，往往遇到困難。那些情緒依然存在，只是被壓抑而不被表達，而這種壓抑又會引發其他情緒。舊有的情緒通過新產生的情緒，以新的方式悄悄地顯現，因為它總要被釋放。

要擺脫負面情緒，我們必須了解它的成因，以及它所傳達的信息。在意識不足的時候，我們最容易產生焦慮，這是情緒出現的主因。我們知道，對事情的了解有助提高意識，因此找到一種減少情緒的方法。

誤解經常導致負面情緒的產生。因此，減少情緒的第一步，是了解事物的實際情況。心理問題藏在我們內心的陰暗角落，但只要點亮心燈，我們就能感受到它們的存在。而這盞心燈，代表著我們對自己生命的感激和熱愛。

當我們感激自己的生命，並渴望更深地了解它，關心它的需求，讓它自由發展。有了這些意識，我們就為自己奠定了基礎，可以開始一個認識真我的旅程。

在這個重要的人生旅程中，我們不再以自我為中心，而與別人平等相處。透過對行為和結果的評估和反思，我們能改變自己的心理狀態，進而擺脫負面情緒。

The path to Tranquility (113) Understanding is the first step to change

Don't rush to change ourselves, as lacking understanding will only make it more difficult for us to change. First, we need to know our own nature, then understand our habits, and finally, recognize our essence. Through understanding ourselves, we can discern our true selves, and begin to change.

For example, if we rush to get rid of negative emotions, we often encounter difficulties. Those emotions are still there, they are simply suppressed and not expressed, and this suppression can trigger other emotions. The old emotions quietly manifest themselves through newly generated emotions because they need to be released.

To get rid of negative emotions, we must understand their causes and the messages they convey. When we are not conscious enough, we are most prone to anxiety, which is the main cause of emotions. We know that understanding things helps increase awareness, so finding a way to reduce emotions.

Misunderstandings often lead to the generation of negative emotions. Therefore, the first step in reducing emotions is to understand the actual situation of things. Psychological issues are hidden in the dark corners of our hearts, but as long as we light up the heart lamp, we can feel their presence. And this heart lamp represents our gratitude and love for our own lives.

When we are grateful for our own life, we long to understand it more deeply, care for its needs and allow it to develop freely. With this consciousness, we lay the foundation for ourselves and embark on a journey to understand our true selves.

In this important life journey, we stop being self-centered and live with others as equals. Through evaluation and reflection on behaviors and results, we can change our psychological state and get rid of negative emotions.
