A lot of what goes on in business today is challenging. Many people in most organizations deal with challenges all the time.

當今商業運作的很多部分都是充滿挑戰的。許多人在公司里每天都要處理各種各樣的挑戰。

We are caught in a web of technology they can barely live with and can’t live without. In 24/7 globalism, people stretch their skills across geographies and time zones. Human biology is not built for constant high alert. We are built for cycles of sprint and pause, quick growth and slow ripening. Stress causes our bodies to produce deadly chemicals. Constant tension, worry, frustration, suppressed rage, inadequate exercise, stale or polluted air, and insufficient sleep add up to migraine headaches, insomnia, high blood pressure, ulcers and heart attacks.

我們深陷于一張技術之網，我們不一定能靠技術存活，但沒有技術卻萬萬活不下去。在這個24小時全面全球化的時代，世界各地的人們跨越時間和空間的限制伸展著他們的技能。然而，人類的身體并不能承受連續的高度緊張狀態，我們能承受的只是沖刺和停頓、快速發展和緩慢成熟之間的一種循環。壓力會讓我們的身體釋放致命的化學元素。連續的壓力、緊張、挫折、壓抑怒火、缺乏鍛煉、被污染的不新鮮的空氣以及缺乏睡眠都提高了患上偏頭痛、失眠癥、高血壓、潰瘍和心臟病的幾率。

Support yourself and build the stamina needed for your work.

你要怎樣支撐自己，為工作儲備好需要的體能呢?

Rest deeply. Get enough sleep.

好好休息。保持充足的睡眠。

Refresh. During time off, focus on activities which refresh and restore—time with family and friends, travel, singing, eating together, painting, reading or watching movies, meditation.

好好恢復。在空閑時間，專注于那些能幫助你恢復精神的活動。——和家人朋友待在一起、旅行、唱歌、吃飯、畫畫、看書、看電影或是冥想。

Eat healthy. Watch out for addictions such as alcohol and tobacco, as well as overeating or sugar binges and the many other things that people use to numb out in busy times.

健康飲食。注意提防酒精上癮或吸煙上癮，同時也要防止暴飲暴食或是攝入太多糖分以及所有那些人們在忙碌工作時用來麻痹自己的東西。

Get physical. Move your body in sports, exercise, dance and the like. Build strength, flexibility and stamina.

經常鍛煉。經常做做運動、鍛煉、跳舞之類的。建立起力量、柔韌性和體能。

Be aware of your emotional well-being. Talk with close friends and family, a counselor or a coach about what is going on. Release painful emotion. Act on clear thinking rather than painful emotion.

注意心理健康。經常和親近的朋友、家人、心理顧問或是心理教練聊聊最近發生了什么。釋放那些痛苦的情緒，致力于清晰的思考而不是悲傷的情緒。

Make time for spirituality. Be in touch with the larger world around you. Whether listening to music, being in nature, watching dance or taking part in organized religion.

過優質的精神生活。經常和你身邊更大的世界保持聯系。不論是聽音樂、去感受大自然、看舞蹈表演或是參加一個有組織的宗教。

Take care of relationship well-being. Build strong connections with other people. Share thinking in intelligent discussion with others. Learn what others are thinking and doing.

經營好人際關系。和其他人建立穩固的關系。與他們聊深刻的話題時分享你的想法，同時了解其他人在想什么，做什么。

If any part of this seems difficult, ask, “What gets in the way of taking care of myself?”

如果這其中的任何一項看起來很難，你就問問自己“是什么阻礙了我照顧好自己呢?”
