2.Reclaim life's meaning.
So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went state.
The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. "I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something." she says. "But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life." Ivy's solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.
4.Bid farewell to guilt and regret.
Everyone's past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from us from moving forward. While they can't merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.
5.Make up your mind.
Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish – or too extreme?
You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain.
Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.
6.Give to get.
Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back.. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter. You have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it.
Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you’re sucking energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner, Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient.
After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?

2. 重燃生命的意义
我的很多病人告诉我他们从前过着有意义的生活，可是久而久之感觉生活就失去了意义。第一步解决意义缺乏的方法是找去什么是自己真正关心的东西，然后化为行动。Ivy，一位57岁的投资银行届先驱是一个很好的例子。“我误以为我赚的钱都是有意义的” 她说，：“但后来我毫无感觉，不知所措，像一个22岁的年轻人不知道用自己的生命做些什么”。Ivy的疗方是什么？她开始了一个教华尔街的富人怎么捐助给贫困孩子的项目。在这个过程中，Ivy使她的生命从此充满了意义。
