What's your spiritual IQ?

  It's the secret weapon that will help you cope with the hassles of . Here's how to put spiritual intelligence to work for you.

 　Her ex had done it again. After missing their 10-year-old daughter's dance recital, he showed up the following day with a bouquet of roses. "My first impulse was to tear into him," admits my friend Jennie. Then some phrases popped into her mind: "He loves her. She needs him. Let it be." Taking a deep breath, she listened to this inner voice and said, "Natalie's going to the flowers." And for at least one brief, shining moment, there was a little more peace on earth.
 什么是你的精神智商?

   對付煩擾的一個武器。以下幾點教你如何將精神智商運用到工作中去。

    她前夫又一次失約了。他沒能參加他們10歲女兒的舞蹈演出會，第二天，他帶著一束來看她們。我的詹妮承認說："我第一個沖動就是批評他。"但是接著閃入腦的卻是："他是女兒的。女兒需要他。算了吧。"深吸一口氣，她以此寬慰自己說："納塔利會這些花的。"至少在那一短暫、輕松的時刻，世上多了一份和睦。
 
What happened? Without consciously realizing why or how, Jennie had reached beyond reason to a deeper level of understanding, a newly recognized way of knowing that psychologists have dubbed "spiritual intelligence." Our spiritual intelligence quotient, or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.

  Spiritual intelligence is the capacity to sense, understand and tap in to the highest part of ourselves, of others and of the world around us. This source of inner serenity may be our best defense against the hassles that barrage us every day.
     發生了什么況呢？原來不知不覺間，詹妮已經超越理智進入到理解的深層次了，即心理學稱之為"精神智商"的一個剛被公認的認知方法。我們的精神智商，或SQ，幫助我們了解自我，生活得更充實，更。

   精神智商是一種能力，可以感受、理解并觸及最深的自我、他人及我們周遭的世界。這種內心深處的可能是我們抵御日常困擾的最佳能力。
 
　While we' re all born with SQ, most of us aren't even aware that we have it. Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:

 Sit Quietly. The process of cultivating spiritual intelligence begins in solitude and silence. Most spiritual traditions involve an inner wisdom. To tune in to its whisper, you have to turn down the volume in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands of silence in your day. In the car, instead of reaching for the radio dial, use the to reflect. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Savor the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.
    雖然我們生來就有精神智商，但大多數人并沒有意識到它的存在。有幸的是，你不必報名去如何加強你的精神智商。以下幾個簡單的方法就可幫你達到理解的新境界：

  靜坐培養 精神智商可從獨處和靜默開始。精神上的信仰大多需要的。要聽到的細語就要放慢節奏，使紛繁嘈雜的生活下來，迫使自己放下一切事務。逐漸為每一天創造一段安靜的時間。在開車時，用一些思考，而不是打開收音機。在工作時，不妨利用會議間歇關上辦公室的門，深吸幾口氣，然后緩緩地呼出。在家里，孩子上床后，獨自細細地品位一下家里的。
 
　Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. It puts the hassles of daily into perspective.

 Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you're walk-ing the dog, take the time to admire an azalea bush in bloom. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds float overhead. Gaze into the night sky and think of the stars as holes in the darkness letting heaven shine through. Find An Activity You Enjoy. It's important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit.
