English author and meditation teacher Andy Puddicombe writes: “The thing that gives us the most trouble is not the world, but our mind.”
「正念」就是专注于当下，专注于此时此刻，体验当下，不分心，心无旁骛，不陷入沉思。它不是你必须创造与保持的一种人为或暂时的心智状态；相反地，正念是后退一步，静心处于自然的状态，摆脱平常的混乱。
Mindfulness is about focusing on the present; focusing on this very moment. It is experiencing the present moment with a mind that is undivided, undistracted, and not lost in thought. It is not an artificial or temporary state of mind that you work to create and maintain. Quite the contrary. Mindfulness is taking a step back. Meditation is a natural state, free from the usual chaos we experience in our mind.
「顶空」就是对你正在经历的任何思想，或是你感受到的任何情绪都「泰然处之」。
“Headspace” means being calm about any thought you are experiencing or emotion you are feeling.
10个正念技巧之一__感恩：没有什么事情理所当然
One of 10 Mindfulness Techniques: Gratitude: Taking nothing for granted
你有没有注意到，有些人把生活中芝麻绿豆大的困难放大好几倍来看，却鲜少花时间细想他们快乐的时光？这有部分是因为他们认为「快乐是理所当然的」，其他的就是错的或不适当的。
Have you noticed how some people magnify the small problems in their lives, but rarely take time to appreciate their moments of happiness? This is partly because they take happiness for granted. Everything else that happens in their lives is seen as wrong or inadequate.
花点时间感恩，对某些人来说，可能觉得有点陈腔滥调。但是，如果想要体验到更多顶空，这是必要。当你对生活拥有强烈的感恩感，就不容易陷入很多杂念。真诚感恩我们所拥有的，我们就会开始更清楚看见他人生活中所缺乏的。
Taking a moment to feel grateful may seem a bit cliché for some, but if you hope to experience more “headspace” it is necessary. When you have a strong sense of gratitude for life, it will be difficult to fall into distraction. Sincerely appreciate what you have, and you will begin to see more clearly what others lack in their lives.
