Now, one current hypothesis is that a region of this network, called the posterior cingulate cortex, is activated not necessarily by craving itself but when we get caught up in it, when we get sucked in, and it takes us for a ride.
目前有一个关于这个网络所在区域的假设,称为「后扣带回皮质J,会因为瘾念本身而引发不必要的启动,但当我们被它牵绊住,当我们被吸进去的时候,它就会欺骗我们。
In contrast, when we let go — step out of the process just by being curiously aware of what’s happening — this same brain region quiets down.
相反来说,如果我们不去有意识地–从里走出来,只是单纯的好奇到底发生什么事情–同一区域的大脑就会安静下来。
Now we’re testing app and online-based mindfulness training programs that target these core mechanisms and, ironically, use the same technology that’s driving us to distraction to help us step out of our unhealthy habit patterns of smoking, of stress eating and other addictive behaviors.
现在我们在测试手机应用程序和以网路为基础的冥想训练课程,目标就是这些核心机制,而讽刺的是,竞是使用同一种也会让我们分心的科技来帮助我们脱离自己不健康的习惯模式,像是吸烟、因压力而狂吃和其他上瘾的行为。
Now, remember that bit about contextdependent memory? We can deliver these tools to peoples’ fingertips in the contexts that matter most. So we can help them tap into their inherent capacity to be curiously aware right when that urge to smoke or stress eat or whatever arises.
现在,还记得刚才提过的情境记忆吗?我们可以把这些最重要的内容工具传递到人们的指尖。所以我们可以帮助他们在渴望抽烟、遇压力乱吃或任何不好的欲望浮现的时候,利用他们的内心能力去好奇地意以1一角。
So if you don’t smoke or stress eat, maybe the next time you feel this urge to check your email when you’re bored, or you’re trying to distract yourself from work, or maybe to compulsively respond to that text message when you’re driving, see if you can tap into this natural capacity, just be curiously aware of what’s happening in your body and mind in that moment. It will just be another chance to perpetuate one of our endless and exhaustive habit loops…or step out of it.
所以如果你不抽烟、也没有因为压力而狂吃,也许在下一次你无聊的时候有股冲动想去检查电邮,或是你想在工作时间透一下气,又或在开车时,有不得不回复信息的义务,看看你是不是可以借助这先天的能力,就单纯的好奇到底那一刻,你的身体和心智在发生什么事。这可能提供了一个机会让你持续保有这个永无止境和消耗性的恶性循环……或是摆脱掉它。
Instead of see text message, compulsively text back, feel a little bit better — notice the urge, get curious, feel the joy of letting go and repeat. Thank you.
看见信息时,不要再-不得不的回复,反而应该是有蛮好的感觉-察觉到冲动,感到好奇,感受一下不去做它的快感,然后重复。谢谢。
