Don't think of a blue tree.
别想象一颗蓝色的树。
What did you think of?
你想到了什么？
The unconscious mind can't handle "don't." Because "don't think of a blue tree" means "think of anything other than a blue tree." Anything? That's infinity minus one things. That's too much. So the unconscious mind just thinks of the blue tree.
你的潜意识不能处理“别”。因为“别想象一颗蓝色的树”意味着“去想象除了蓝色的树之外的任何东西”。任何事物？有无穷多的事物可以想象。这太多了。所以潜意识里只好去想象一颗蓝色的树。
"I don't want to fail."
“我不想要失败。”
"Don't mess up."
“别搞砸了。”
Where do you think your mind goes when you tell yourself those things?
当你和自己说这些话时你觉得自己的大脑想到哪里去了呢？
What would happen if you changed "I don't" to "I want?"
如果你把“我不要”改成“我要”又会怎么样呢？
I know.
我知道。
But don't believe me.
但别相信我。
