一个简单的方式戒掉坏习惯(英语精读笔记)|DAY 5

Now, she moved from knowledge to wisdom.She moved from knowing in her head that smoking was bad for her to knowing it in her bones, and the spell of smoking was broken.She started to become disenchanted with her behavior.

现在,她从知识升华到智慧。她从脑袋里开始了解到骨子里去,明白了抽烟对她有害,这时抽烟的魔咒就会被破解。她开始对她的行为觉悟。

Now, the prefrontal cortex, that youngest part of our brain from an evolutionary perspective, it understands on an intellectual level that we shouldn’t smoke. And it tries its hardest to help us change our behavior, to help us stop smoking, to help us stop eating that second, that third, that fourth cookie.We call this cognitive control. We’re using cognition to control our behavior.Unfortunately, this is also the first part of our brain that goes offline when we get stressed out, which isn’t that helpful.

其实,前额叶皮质,从进化的角度来看,那是我们大脑最年轻的部份,它明白,理智上我们不应该抽烟。然后它尝试尽最大的努力,去帮助我们改变自己的行为、帮助我们戒烟、帮助我们戒掉吃第二块、第三块、第四块曲奇饼。我们称之为「认知控制J。我们用认知去控制自己的行为。很不幸的是,当我们过度劳累时,这也是我们脑袋里,率先离线的部份,所以不太能够帮得上忙。

Now, we can all relate to this in our own experience. We’re much more likely to do things like yell at our spouse or kids when we’re stressed out or tired, even though we know it’s not going to be helpful. We just can’t help ourselves.

其实我们大家都可以找到自己类似的经验。当我们压力过大或是很劳累时,我们有很大的可能,会向自己的伴侣或小孩吼叫,虽然我们知道,这样的吼叫并没有帮助、只是我们控制不了自己。
