What is your recovery rate? How long does it take you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? The longer it takes you to recover, the more influence that incident has on your actions, and the less able you are to perform to your personal best. In a nutshell, the longer it takes you to recover, the weaker you are and the poorer your performance.

You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and, no doubt, accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which your heart and respiratory system recovers after exercise. Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you return to an equilibrium, the healthier you will be. The best example of this behavior is found with professional sportspeople. They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missd opportunity and get on with the game, the better their performance. In fact, most measure the time it takes them to overcome and forget an incident in a game and most reckon a recovery rate of 30 seconds is too long!

你的恢復(fù)速率是多少?你需要多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才能從讓你煩惱的行為中恢復(fù)?幾分鐘?幾小時(shí)?幾天?幾星期?你需要的恢復(fù)時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)，那個(gè)事件對(duì)你的影響越大，你也就越不能做到最好。簡(jiǎn)言之，你的恢復(fù)時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)，你就越軟弱，你的表現(xiàn)也就越差勁。

你充分意識(shí)到，要保持身體健康你需要鍛煉，并且你無疑會(huì)接受，你的心臟和呼吸系統(tǒng)在鍛煉后的恢復(fù)速度是衡量健康的一個(gè)合理尺度。同樣，你越快擺脫使你煩惱的問題，越快恢復(fù)平靜，你就越健康。此類行為的最好典范是專業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員。他們知道，越快忘記一件事或失去的機(jī)會(huì)而好好比賽，他們的發(fā)揮就越好。實(shí)際上，大多數(shù)運(yùn)動(dòng)員會(huì)佰自己克服并忘記比賽中一個(gè)事件所需的時(shí)間，而且大多數(shù)人都認(rèn)為30秒的恢復(fù)時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)了!
