滬江小編：職場(chǎng)人常常抱怨壓力大，仿佛壓力是快樂(lè)工作的攔路虎。但有研究指出，工作壓力可以激發(fā)人大腦的潛力，增強(qiáng)記憶力和智力，提高生產(chǎn)力，甚至可以加速身體的復(fù)原能力。

We're all about having a healthy work-life balance, but it's inevitable to have ups and downs. If you're struggling to cope with workplace stress, you might be cheered by this Harvard Business Review article, which says you can make your stress work to your advantage.
人人都希望能保持工作與生活的平衡，但是事情往往起伏不定。如果你一直都在為職場(chǎng)壓力而苦苦掙扎，那么《哈佛商業(yè)評(píng)論》里刊登的這篇文章可能能讓你振奮一下，因?yàn)檫@篇報(bào)道指出人們可以利用工作壓力，化壓力為動(dòng)力。

Shawn Achor, HBR writer, says: "Stress can cause the human brain to use more of its capabilities, improve memory and intelligence, increase productivity, and even speed recovery from things like knee surgery. Research indicates that stress, even at high levels, creates greater mental toughness, deeper relationships, heightened awareness, new perspectives, a sense of mastery, a greater appreciation for life, a heightened sense of meaning, and strengthened priorities."
作者肖恩表示，壓力可以激發(fā)人大腦的潛力，增強(qiáng)記憶力和智力，提高生產(chǎn)力，甚至可以加速身體的復(fù)原能力，比如從膝蓋手術(shù)中康復(fù)。研究指出，即使是高強(qiáng)度的壓力也有利于增強(qiáng)意志力、加深各方聯(lián)系、提高關(guān)注力、激發(fā)新想法、加強(qiáng)控制力、提升對(duì)生活的領(lǐng)悟力和理解力，更能分清事情的輕重緩急。

如何提高工作效率？時(shí)間管理課程幫助你

We hear all about the negatives of stress but rarely hear about some of the better effects. Not to mention, it's easy to tap into the benefits of stress — you just need to view it as enhancing rather than debilitating.
我們常常聽(tīng)到的都是關(guān)于壓力的負(fù)面效應(yīng)，很少能聽(tīng)到這樣的關(guān)于壓力的好處。轉(zhuǎn)化壓力其實(shí)不難，只要把壓力想成是提高能力的方法而不是面對(duì)的困境就可以了。

The results of this research don't mean that we should all strive for more stress at work. Instead, we should try to channel that energy into something that will have a more productive outcome. For example, if work issues are weighing you down, clean your house as a way of harnessing the energy of your frustrations and putting it to good use. Other great outlets include exercising and organizing your clutter.
這個(gè)研究結(jié)果并不是要鼓勵(lì)我們多給自己壓力，而是要轉(zhuǎn)化壓力，去做更有效率的事情。比如說(shuō)，當(dāng)你工作得喘不過(guò)氣來(lái)的時(shí)候，你可以去打掃屋子，把你的怒氣怨氣都轉(zhuǎn)換成能量去做些有益的事。你也可以去做運(yùn)動(dòng)或者做做整理工作來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)化壓力。
