沃伦·菲利普斯（Warren Phillips），临床心理学家兼总裁变革性的工作场所解决方案，六秒钟现金网赌钱网站的首选合作伙伴，在阅读后提出了一个很好的问题名称and Reframe: 2 Simple Strategies to Navigate Anxiety。He asked the following: While reframing anxiety as excitement works in some cases, like before a job interview, are there other situations when this would be a mistake?

The answer is yes, absolutely.

He brought up a couple great examples:

Imagine you are going to a meeting with your boss, and you know you have done something wrong, so you feel anxious.

或者…

Imagine you are going home and you are worried your partner, who struggles with alcohol, is drunk.

在这些情况下，naming the emotion可能仍然有帮助。但是将其重新构想为兴奋吗？没那么多。在这些时候，适当，必要甚至有帮助的时候感到焦虑。您的焦虑告诉您一些有价值的东西。Can you think of an example in your life when you have felt anxious and it wouldn’t be appropriate to reframe it as excitement?

And in those situations where reframing it as excitement isn’t the answer, what’s an emotionally intelligent way to navigate that anxious feeling and use it to take purposeful steps forward?

What is anxiety trying to tell you?

在我们谈论导致焦虑的方法之前，让我们回到一个基本问题：焦虑的信息是什么？

有一个不清楚的风险。

有时，当然，这种焦虑的感觉很重要。我们关心的东西ISat risk.

When youshouldbe anxious… what can you do?

So when we feel this type of anxiety that shouldn’t be reframed, Phillips and Six Seconds CEO Josh Freedman recommend asking another question: “What about this situation feels important to me?”

Or, “What is the outcome I am really looking for?”

Then the anxiety can be reframed as an alert, Phillips says, that something important is happening. “Part of Six Seconds approach that I love,” he told me via email, “is the exploration of emotions and the important messages they share with us. Emotions help us determine what’s important in our lives so we can explore how we might get there or what approach we might want to take.”焦虑是评估优先级并开始通过的信号KCG processof considering what you really want and all your options for getting there. Emotions, even challenging ones like anxiety, are data – and can be a catalyst for positive growth.

这在行动中是什么样的？

当您未能完成重要任务或丢失客户帐户时，请考虑与老板一起参加会议的示例。

菲利普斯（Phillips）说，他将进行四步过程，以帮助客户在这种情况下引起焦虑：

1. Help them notice and name the anxiety.

2. 鼓励他们考虑与他们分享的信息或思想分享的信息。(“Perhaps how important this job is to me, how much I enjoy it or don’t enjoy it, how important it is to be organized, what self-limiting belief keeps me from reaching out for help when I’m overwhelmed, etc.”)

3. 使用该信息来提出下次处理情况的方法。

4. Utilize ways ofnavigating the anxiety (such as mindfulness, deep breathing, distancing methods, or self-compassion) to enter the meeting with as much focus and clarity as possible.

There are no good or bad emotions. Emotions are data.

A big thank you to Warren for sharing his insight. Reframing anxiety as excitement does work, and in some cases, it’s the way to go. But in other cases, your anxiety is trying to tell you something valuable, and it should be accepted as is, and be a catalyst to help you learn and grow.
