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 sports people. They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed 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！
Imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability. You have been given a script and at the end of each sentence is a full stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence， you start a new one， and although the next sentence is related to the last it is not affected by it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.
Don’t live your life in the past！ Learn to live in the present， to overcome the past. Stop the past from influencing your daily life. Don’t allow thoughts of the past to reduce your personal best. Stop the past from interfering with your life. Learn to recover quickly.
Remember： Rome wasn’t built in a day. Reflect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed， look at your progress. Don’t lie in bed saying to you， “I did that wrong.” “I should have done better there.” No. Look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident. This is a success. You are taking control of your life. Remember this is a step by step process. This is not a make-over. You are undertaking real change here， your aim： reduce the time spent in recovery.
The way forward？
Live in the present. Not in the precedent.
你的恢复速度有多快？你摆脱使你心烦意乱的行为举止需要多久？几分钟？几小时？几天？还是几星期？你恢复需要的时间越长，事件对你产生的影响越大，你做到最佳的可能也就越小。简单地说，你恢复需要的时间越长，你的势力就越弱，你的行动性也就越差。
你需要进行锻炼来保持身体健康，对此你有充分的意识，你也能接受锻炼后心脏和呼吸系统的恢复速度是衡量健康程度的一个合理标准。同样的道理，对于困扰你的问题，你摆脱得越快，你恢复平静的速度越快，你就越健康。专业运动员就是这个道理的最佳范例。他们知道，他们越能很快地忘记—件事情，忘记对一次机会的错失而全身心地投入比赛，他们就越能很好地发挥。事实上，大部分测试显示，大多数运动员在比赛中克服并忘记一件事情的时间是30秒钟，但是他们都认为这样的恢复时间太长了！
把自己试想为一位在舞台上表演的演员。最好地表演你的角色是你的目标。剧本你已经收到，剧本中每句台词的结尾都是句号。每次当你读到一个句子的末尾时，就开始了下一个新的句子。尽管上下两句相关，但并不会受其影响。你的任务就是用你最好的状态说出每句台词。
不要生活在过去！要学会生活在现在，学会克服过去。不要让过去影响你的日常生活，不要让过去的思想妨碍你做到最好，不要让过去干扰你的生活。要学会快速恢复。
不要让自己的生命停留在过去！学着去超越过去，在现在生活。不要再让历史影响你今日的生活！要学会快速地恢复。
要时刻牢记：罗马不是一天建成的。对自己的恢复速度要每日反省。每天在你睡觉之前，看一看自己的进步情况。不要躺在床上对自己说：“那个我做错了。”“我本应做得更好的。”不要！对自己的一天进行回顾，当你努力为一件事赢得圆满结局时，就将其记录下来。这就是一次成功。你正在掌控自己的人生。要切记，这是一个循序渐进的过程，是不可以跳跃的。在这里，你正承载着真正的改变，你的目标就是：缩短恢复时间。
接下来又该怎样做呢？
生活在当前，不是过去。
不要生活在过去，学会生活在现在，克服过去。不要让过去影响你的生活，不要让过去的思想妨碍你做到最好，不要让过去干扰你的生活。
