成功女人的十个良好习惯（双语）

 　　These ten habits of highly successful women range from maintaining your hormonal¹ balance to letting go of the past—and they will positively² affect your mind, body, and soul.

　　从保持内分泌平衡到忘记过往，成功女人的十个良好习惯将会给你的头脑、身体和灵魂带来积极影响。

　　First, check out this quotation³ from writer Anais in:

　　首先，来看看我们引用的作家阿娜伊丝?宁的这段话：

　　“Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the action stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.”

　　“梦想转化为现实，现实又催生梦想，这种互生关系造就了人生的最高境界。”

　　Taking action is a crucial habit of successful women…and so is dreaming! Don’t let go of your passions…

　　坚持梦想，付诸行动是成功女人的重要习惯。不要让你的激情褪去。

　　1. Maintain your hormonal balance. Are you moody⁴, exhausted⁵, irritable⁶, or sad? Check your hormones⁷. If they’re out of whack⁸, then you’ll struggle to be successful! Make sure you’re getting enough protein and vitamins, and decrease your refined sugars and carbohydrates⁹.

　　1. 保持内分泌平衡。你会时不时地感到郁郁寡欢、精疲力竭、急躁易怒吗？如果有，那么请关注一下你的内分泌。如果你内分泌紊乱，那么想要成功就会难上加难。确保自己摄入足够的蛋白质和维生素，同时减少糖和碳水化合物的摄入，以此来调节内分泌。

　　2. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. Highly successful women don’t obsess¹⁰ or feel guilty about past choices or failures. They make mistakes, move on, and apply what they’ve learned to new situations.

　　2. 宽恕自己所犯的错误。成功的女人不会沉浸于过往，不会因为过去的选择与失败而倍感困扰和愧疚。她们会犯错误，但她们也会带着从中吸取的经验教训继续前进，应对新的情况与问题。

　　3. Connect with who you are. Being a daughter, wife, or mother is one aspect of your Life. It doesn’t define who you are as a woman. To connect with who you are, find and express your authentic¹¹ self. The more authentic you are, the more appealing you’ll be to others—and to yourself!

　　3. 了解自己存在的意义。身为女儿、妻子或母亲只是你人生的一方面，这并不是你作为女人的全部意义。了解自己存在的意义，发现并展现真正的自我！你表现得越真实，对别人的吸引力就越大，自我满足感就越大。

　　4. Avoid energy vampires¹². Do you feel drained or sad after spending time with a particular friend, coworker, or relative? Limit the time you spend with him or her. Note how you feel after visiting with a certain person; if you feel energized¹³ and happy, then you’re in good Company. Highly successful women choose their companions wisely.

　　4. 远离让你心力交瘁的人。你是否有过这样的经历，当你和某个朋友、同事或亲戚在一起之后，会感觉精疲力竭、情绪低落？那就不要过多地和他或她的相处。注意自己与某人交往后的感受；如果觉得精力充沛、心情愉悦，那么就选对人了。成功女人都能明智地选择同伴。

　　5. Speak kindly¹⁴ to yourself! If you beat yourself up for being overweight, a “bad” mum, or not exercising enough, you just create a downward spiral. Highly successful women remindthemselves of their achievements and successes. They refuse to tell themselves negative things; they accept themselves.

　　5. 对自己好点！如果因为自己长胖了、没有照顾好孩子或者锻炼不够而打击自己，你就陷入了一个恶性循环。成功女人会时刻记住自己取得的成就。她们不会总是对自己灌输一些负面的事情；她们正视自己的一切，不管是成功还是失败。

　　6. Listen to your body. I heard Oprah Winfrey say this about 10 years ago: Listen to what your body is telling you. Are you emotionally hungry or physically¹⁵ hungry? Feed yourself properly. Are you sad, furious, or depressed¹⁶? Follow your body’s cues.

　　6. 聆听你的身体。十年前我就听奥普拉?维弗瑞说过“聆听身体对你说的话”，你渴望的是感情，还是欲望？明智地满足自己。你感觉悲伤，愤怒或压抑吗？遵从身体的指示。

　　7. Volunteer your time. Find something that takes you out of your comfort zone or that you love to do. You’ll feel great that you’re helping¹⁷ others out—and volunteering directly improves your physical health. Highly successful women step out of their comfort zones and takes risks.

　　7. 贡献你的时间。做一些你不擅长或者不喜欢的事情。帮助别人摆脱困境的同时，又直接改善了你的健康状况，这会让你感觉很好。成功女人会走出她们习惯的领域，并不畏承担风险。

　　8. Let go of perfectionism. Strive to do your best, but let go of perfectionist Tendencies. Accepting that you’re doing the best you can is a habit of highly successful women. Letting go of perfectionism is vitamins and exercise for the soul!

　　8. 不要过于追崇完美主义。努力做到最好，但放弃完美主义者那一套。成功女人都会自己说已经做到最好了。放弃完美主义是对灵魂的救济。

　　9. Use your core strengths. Are you a natural mathematician¹⁸, writer, or party planner? Discover your core strengths by trying different things until you find what fits. To take risks and try new things, take short-term volunteer positions or volunteer for new projects at work or in your community.

　　9. 好好利用你的天赋。你是天生的数学家、作家或者组织聚会的高手吗？不断尝试不同的事情，不断地发现你的长处，直到找到真正适合自己的事情。勇于冒险，勇于尝试。自愿从事公司或社区中的短期职位或新项目

　　10. Take time for yourself. This habit for highly successful women is my favorite: take time to recharge your batteries and refuel your emotional, spiritual, and physical energy. Spend at least a few minutes alone each day—even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom to do it!

　　10. 留一些时间给自己。这是我最喜欢的成功女性习惯了。给自己充足的时间休息，养精蓄锐，重新获得能量。即使把自己锁到卫生间一会儿，每天也要至少花几分钟独处。
