我们都严重低估了呼吸

你好,欢迎你的到来。我是凤超,你身边的高效人生教练,学好时间管理和精力管理,过超然人生!


At the most basic level, physical energy is derived from the interaction between oxygen and glucose. In practical terms, the size of our energy reservoir depends on the patterns of our breathing, the foods that we eat and when we eat them, the quantity and quality of our sleep, the degree to which we get intermittent recovery during the day, and the level of our fitness. Building a rhythmic balance between physical energy expenditure and recovery insures that the level of our energy reserves remains relatively constant. Pushing past our comfort zone—and then recovering—is a means by which to expand physical capacity wherever it is insufficient to meet demand.

在最基础的水平上,体能方面的精力来源是氧气和葡萄糖的生化反应。在实际中,精力的大小取决于呼吸模式、饮食种类和时间、睡眠质量和时间、白天的间歇恢复程度、健康水平等等。建立体能消耗和恢复的节奏性平衡能使精力水平稳定。在精力不足时,走出舒适区,然后再恢复,可以拓展(扩展)体能精力。

The most important rhythms in our lives are the ones we typically take for granted—most notably breathing and eating. Few of us even think about breathing. Oxygen becomes precious only in those rare instances when we can’t get enough—choking on a piece of food, getting caught in an ocean undertow, or suffering from a disease such as emphysema. Even significant changes in our pattern of breathing tend to go unnoticed. Anxiety and anger, for example, typically prompt faster and shallower breathing, which can be valuable in responding to an immediate threat. Very quickly, however, such a breathing pattern reduces our available energy and compromises our ability to restore mental and emotional equilibrium. The result can be a cycle that reinforces itself, which explains why one of the simplest antidotes to anger and anxiety is to take deep abdominal breaths.

生命中最重要的节律通常被被认为是理所当然的,尤其是呼吸和饮食。极少人考虑过呼吸。氧气只有在缺氧时才显得弥足珍贵,比如被食物噎住时、被海洋暗流困住时、或当患上肺气肿等疾病时。我们呼吸模式发生巨大变化时也很难察觉,比如焦虑和生气通常会导致急促而又浅的呼吸,这对应对当前的威胁很有帮助,但是这种呼吸模式会迅速消耗精力储备、损害我们恢复专注力和情绪平衡的能力,诱发恶性循环。这也解释了为什么应对生气和焦虑最简单的方法就是用腹式呼吸。

The breath is a powerful tool for self-regulation—a means both to summon energy and to relax deeply. Extending the exhalation, for example, prompts a powerful wave of recovery. Breathing in to a count of three and out to a count of six, lowers arousal and quiets not just the body but also the mind and the emotions. Deep, smooth and rhythmic breathing is simultaneously a source of energy, alertness and focus as well as of relaxation, stillness and quiet—the ultimate healthy pulse.

呼吸是自我调节有力工具,既可以聚集精力,也可以深度放松。例如延长呼气可以促进精力恢复,吸气数3个数、呼气数6个数,可以降低警觉、使体能、思维、情感都平静下来。顺畅而有节奏的深呼吸同时也是精力、警觉、专注以及放松、宁静和安静的来源,这也是健康的终极脉动!

我的思考My Thinking

在精力管理中英文打卡中,我静下心来体会文字的力量,虽然慢却得到了精髓,也对被认为习以为常却最重要的呼吸和饮食有了更深刻的认识,很庆幸自己正在做营养早餐、练习呼吸,自己的精力还不错。一路走来,有一种暮然回首的感觉。

When I digest the Power of Full Engagement bilingually, I felt the power of words and grasped the essence gradually, mastered deeper knowledge of eating and breathing which are taken for granted by most people. Luckily I am preparing Energizing breakfasts, practicing breathing which energizes me. I realize everything is there when looking back.

当年我带同事去学习精力管理,现在有的人只记住了3件事:
1.老师带来了巧克力
2.老师进来过游戏互动
3.培训的时候大家在跑步机跑步过。

而自己却有幸成为精力管理践行营的讲师和践行者。突然想到写作社群的一句话,“大爱不言,唯有践行”。

I used to lead college for Energy Management training, now of some only remembered 3 things:
1.the instructor brought some chocolate and shared
2.There is interactions during training
3.we did running.

While I joined our Just Do It Camp as instructor. I'm just remembering one quote from my writing communities,“大爱不言,唯有践行".
