Mental contrasting, first you imagine attaining your goal, and then you reflect on the obstacles that stand in the way.
Mental contrasting turns wishes and day-dreams into reality , by bringing into focus what you will need to do to make it happen.
Mental contrasting only helps you commit to achieving a goal if the goal is something you really believe you can achieve.
心理对照，首先想象达成目标，然后仔细考虑过程中会遇到的问题。
心理对照，将愿望和白日梦落地，将注意力放在你需要做的事情上。
心理对照只能帮助你，致力于实现那些你确实相信能够实现的目标。
Setting Goals through Mental Contrasting
- Grab your notebook or just a piece of paper , and write down a wish or concern you have currently.This can be something you are thinking of doing or something you are already involved with doing(like taking a vacation or losing ten pounds.)
- Now, think about what a happy ending would look like for this wish or concern. Write down one positive aspect of this happy ending(how great it would be to relax on the beach without checking your e-mail.)
- Next, think about the obstacles that stand in the way between you and your happy ending
- Now list another positive aspect.
- And another obstacle.
- And another positive aspect.
- And another obstacle.
By contrasting the things you have to gain with the obstacles standing in your way, you should now have a better sense of how likely you are to succeed, and how committed you are to that success.
1.写下一个愿望或者你目前正关心的事情，可以是你考虑要做或者正在做的事情
2.思考这个愿望实现后的美好景象。写下圆满结局中积极的一方面
3.实现目标过程中有哪些障碍
I用自己的话重述
心理对照就是想象目标实现后的美好以及目标实施过程中可能会遇到的问题。
方法论很简单，先写下你一个目标实现后的积极的收益，然后考虑过程中的一个障碍；另一个积极收获，然后另一个可能的障碍......
通过心理对照，能使你对目标有更清晰的认识，避免盲目乐观，同时能达到在大脑中预演的目的，可以极大提升目标达成的概率。
心理对照也可以帮助我们探究自己的价值观，在对比过程中搞清楚对我们来说什么更重要。
If-Then也可以应用在这里。
A1 相关经验：
去北京参加互联网开发者大会稍有犹豫，但考虑到可以极大增长见识，费用是个问题；认识一线开发人员，占用不少时间会影响学习前端开发进度；大概了解北京开发市场，作为小白会不会尴尬......
其实也就是衡量利弊的过程。
A2 如何应用 ：
前端学习中可以时常应用心理对照。前端学习过程中不断打磨学习技能，学习过程中必然会遇到很多困难；学会前端开发的同时搜索能力极大提升，需要付出极大的时间、精力成本；学前端不得不使用英语，提升英语阅读能力，查看英文文档时的挫折和自我怀疑感；学会前端开发之后的高薪，丧失其他可能性......
