Christine Hassler: 4 books

面對現實吧，人生隨處是我們不樂見的意外！ 當期待落空時， 讓你陷入沮喪的，並非你的渴望**，** 而是放下你對期待的執著。 你發現了嗎？ 人對任何事物的發生，很難沒有期待。 當人生處處如願、順利，我們感到成就十足，走路有風；我們覺得安心，一切都在軌道上，這樣走下去絕對沒問題。但是，當期待一旦落空，天彷彿塌了下來，感覺就如酒後隔日的宿醉，令人頭痛欲裂。我們便開始後悔、懊惱、自責，甚至憤怒。這些令人不舒服的特殊症狀，就是「期待落空不適症」。 人的自然反應，就是在這些症狀中痛苦掙扎、惡性循環直到某人某事出現，才稍覺好過一點。然而，轉移注意力並非治本之道。克麗絲汀‧哈斯勒建議，走出沮喪，不再抗拒眼前的事實，也不要把自己當成一個受害者，才會有更大能量去療癒它。期待落空，是生命重大的禮物，自我轉化的觸媒。只要換一個角度迎接它，生命轉變的大門就會為我們敞開。 ◎...
