关掉通知

字幕原文

I turned off almost all the notifications on my phone last month, 上个月，我把手机上几乎所有的通知都关了，

and it's done more for my stress than anything else I've tried. 这比我试过的任何减压方法都管用。

It used to buzz constantly. 以前手机老是震个不停。

Every app fighting for a piece of my attention, 每个软件都在争抢我的注意力，

pulling me a hundred different directions all day long. 整天把我扯来扯去的，根本没法专心。

I felt permanently on edge without even knowing why. 我总觉得神经紧绷，甚至都不知道为什么。

So one afternoon I went through 于是有一天下午，我挨个翻了遍设置，

and switched nearly all of them off. 把它们几乎全给关了。

Now my phone stays quiet 现在我的手机安静多了，

unless it's an actual person actually messaging me. 除非真的是有人在给我发消息。

The silence was strange at first, almost uncomfortable. 刚开始这种安静让人觉得怪怪的，甚至有点不自在。

But now my mind feels so much calmer. 但现在我的内心平静了太多。

It turns out I was living in a constant, 原来我之前一直生活在一种持续的、

low-level state of alarm, and I'd simply gotten used to it. 轻度紧绷的状态里，只是我自己早就习惯了。

I didn't need all that noise. 我根本不需要那么多嘈杂的信息。

I just needed permission to turn it off. 我只是需要允许自己把它们关掉而已。
