"If you can't change a situation, change your mind."

“如果你无法改变环境，那么就改变心境。”

I was in the middle of a yoga class, and it felt like the teacher was speaking directly to me. I can't remember which pose I was in, the song that was playing or the day of the week, but I do remember feeling his words reverberate in my bones. It was a wake up call, and I chose to listen.

我当时正在上瑜伽课，这句话就好像是老师直接对我说的。我不记得当时正在做什么姿势、房间里播放着什么样的音乐、那天是星期几，但我清楚地记得感觉他的话在我的骨髓里久久回响。那是将我唤醒的声音，而我选择了聆听。

Grief is real. And the things dragging me down were mostly out of my control, but my attitude was something only I could manage. So I started over. I fiercely protected my attitude and reactions to situations the way a mother bear might care for her cub. I had always been such a happy person and I wanted to be that person again.

悲伤是真实的，那些将我拖下去的事务也多半是无法掌控的，但我的态度是我唯一可以控制的东西。所以我让一切重新开始。我奋力地保护着我对外界环境的态度和反应，就像一只熊妈妈保护幼崽那样。我曾经是一个那么快乐的人，我希望能再次成为那个人。
