The singer-songwriter talks about putting his mental health first: ‘The last year and a half has been the most eye-opening and growing and beautiful and just healing process of my life’

這位創(chuàng)作型歌手坦言，會(huì)把自己的心理健康放在首位：“過(guò)去的一年半，我極大地開(kāi)闊了眼界，獲得了成長(zhǎng)，這是一個(gè)美好和治愈的過(guò)程?！?/p>

Celebrity haircuts aren’t typically breaking news, but then again most celebrities aren’t Shawn Mendes.

?

明星的發(fā)型通常不是什么爆炸性新聞，但肖恩·蒙德茲可不是什么普通的明星。

?

Since his days of uploading pop covers to YouTube and Vine in the 2010s, he has become a global sensation, with four No. 1 spots on the Billboard 200 chart, three Grammy nominations and 71 million followers on Instagram. So when the musician debuted a closely cropped ’do in January, his fans wondered: What happened to his flowing curls? And why?

?

自從他在10年代將時(shí)興的翻唱上傳到Y(jié)ouTube和Vine上以來(lái)，他已經(jīng)成為了一位全球性的轟動(dòng)人物。他在公告牌榜前200的排行榜上占據(jù)了四個(gè)第一，并且獲得了三項(xiàng)格萊美提名，在Instagram上擁有7100萬(wàn)粉絲。因此，當(dāng)這位音樂(lè)家在一月首次亮相時(shí)，他的粉絲們想知道：他飄逸的卷發(fā)怎么了？又是為何他選擇剪掉長(zhǎng)發(fā)呢？

?

“I think everyone should know what they look like with a shaved head,” Mr. Mendes, 24, said in an interview last week. “I also was just feeling this urge to just shake myself up a little bit.”

?

“我認(rèn)為每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該知道他們剃光頭是什么樣子，”24歲的蒙德茲上周在接受采訪時(shí)說(shuō)道，“我也只是有一種沖動(dòng)，想讓自己換個(gè)心情，振作起來(lái)?！?/span>

The hair is just a small change in a year of major transformation for Mr. Mendes. Last July, halfway through his “Wonder”?world tour, he canceled his remaining dates to focus on his mental health, a move?that made international headlines. Since then, he’s been seeing a therapist and spending more time with friends and family in Los Angeles.

?

與Mendes這一年的重大轉(zhuǎn)變比起來(lái)，發(fā)型算是微不足道的。去年七月， 《Wonder》世界巡演進(jìn)行到一半時(shí)，他決定取消余下的演出安排，并專注于自己的精神健康。這一決定一度登上了國(guó)際新聞?lì)^條。自那以后起，Shawn就一直在看心理醫(yī)生，并且花費(fèi)更多時(shí)間陪伴自己在洛杉磯的家人朋友。

What time do you get up on Mondays, and what’s the first thing you do after waking up?

I wake up around 7. I get out of bed, I drink a liter of water and I get in the car to go to a coffee shop. I meet some friends for coffee, and we chat for about an hour and a half.

你每周一什么時(shí)候起床，醒來(lái)后做的第一件事是什么？

我7點(diǎn)左右起床。我從床上爬起來(lái)，喝一升水，然后坐車去一家咖啡店。我會(huì)和幾個(gè)朋友一起喝咖啡，閑聊一個(gè)半小時(shí)。

How do you like your breakfast? And does someone prepare it for you, or do you make it yourself?

I usually make it. It’s pretty simple. I’ll make three scrambled eggs and a couple pieces of toast and I’ll make a little avocado egg toast situation.

你的早餐一般吃什么？是別人為你準(zhǔn)備的，還是你自己做的呢？

一般都是我做的，我的早餐比較簡(jiǎn)單。我會(huì)做三個(gè)炒雞蛋和幾片吐司，有時(shí)候我還會(huì)做一點(diǎn)牛油果雞蛋吐司。

In 2020, you were often spotted walking around your neighborhood with a coffee mug that looked empty to some observers. What was in it??

The coffee was in it, always.

在2020這一年中，人們經(jīng)?？吹侥隳弥Х缺诮稚仙⒉?。有人懷疑咖啡杯是空的。所以里面裝的到底是什么呢？

當(dāng)然是咖啡啊，一直都是。

How do you decide what to wear?

I was just looking at my closet. I wear a lot of the same things. I think my friends would probably say that they see me wearing the same sweater every day, which is true when I wear it to the coffee shop. But it’s pretty chill. I like to have a tank top on with a cardigan and some jeans and that’s pretty much my go-to.

對(duì)于穿什么衣服出門，你是怎么做決定的？

我就看看我的衣櫥里有什么，我平時(shí)的穿搭比較相似。我的朋友們可能會(huì)說(shuō)，肖恩每天都穿同一件毛衣。是真的，我經(jīng)常穿著毛衣去咖啡店，很舒服很放松。我平時(shí)也喜歡穿背心、羊毛衫和一些牛仔褲。

Do you meditate?

Meditation has really changed my life. I also am really into doing saunas and ice baths and stuff like that.?

你有做冥想嗎？

冥想改變了我的生活。我也很喜歡享受桑拿浴和冰浴之類的事情。

Speaking of, you put up a TikTok on Christmas of yourself doing a cold plunge in a river. How often do you do extreme things for self-care?

I mean, listen, I’m kind of crazy when it comes to the ice baths. I have one, so I do it a lot. I do it probably five, six times a week. I know it’s a lot, but people who know me know that when I get on something that I like for the first little bit, I can be a little bit obsessive.

說(shuō)起這個(gè)，圣誕節(jié)的時(shí)候，你在抖音上發(fā)布了自己在河里洗冷水澡的視頻。你一般多久做一次這樣的極端護(hù)理呢？

我嘛，對(duì)冰浴多少有點(diǎn)癡迷。我有一套設(shè)備，所以會(huì)常常做，可能一周得有五六次吧。當(dāng)然我知道這有點(diǎn)頻繁了，但了解我的人都清楚，一旦我開(kāi)始做喜歡的事情，就容易就此一發(fā)不可收拾。

Last year you told fans you were canceling your tour dates to focus on mental health. What was that like for you?

The process was very difficult. A lot of doing therapy, a lot of trying to understand how I was feeling and what was making me feel that way. And then doing the work to help myself and heal. And also leaning on people in my life to help a little bit. It’s been a lot of work, but I think the last year and a half has been the most eye-opening and growing and beautiful and just healing process of my life. I’m also really grateful for all the people that were so accepting and loving and kind and understanding. And it just really made me see how culture is really starting to get to a place where mental health is really becoming a priority.

去年你告訴粉絲為了專注于心理健康，你不得不取消巡演。你當(dāng)時(shí)情況如何？

這個(gè)過(guò)程非常地艱難。我做了很多心理治療，并多次試著去了解我的感受并弄清是什么讓我產(chǎn)生這種感覺(jué)。再通過(guò)治療來(lái)治愈自己。這也需要我和生活中的人一起來(lái)幫助我。這個(gè)治療內(nèi)容豐富，我認(rèn)為過(guò)去的一年半里是我生命中最開(kāi)闊眼界，成長(zhǎng)最快，心靈不斷痊愈的過(guò)程。我也真的很感謝所有的人，他們是如此地包容、愛(ài)，善良和理解。這讓我真正意識(shí)到，我們的社會(huì)開(kāi)始把心理健康當(dāng)做一個(gè)重要的事情。

You’re newly working with jeweler David Yurman. When did you start wearing jewelry? How would you advise a man who’s looking for a place to start with it?

I think I started wearing jewelry properly when I was 17. I started with a ring, a silver ring. I think you have to start with one piece, like a necklace or a ring or a bracelet and see how it makes you feel. Commit to it for a week. Don’t feel the need to be wearing tons of rings or tons of necklaces or bracelets or whatever. Just put on what you feel good at your pace and you’ll start to build your own aesthetic, which can be a really fun process.

你最近與珠寶品牌David Yurman合作，你是什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始佩戴珠寶的？對(duì)于剛開(kāi)始佩戴珠寶的人，你建議從哪里開(kāi)始？

我大概是17歲時(shí)開(kāi)始佩戴珠寶的。我剛開(kāi)始是戴一枚銀戒指。我認(rèn)為，新手必須從一樣首飾開(kāi)始，比如一條項(xiàng)鏈、一個(gè)戒指或一個(gè)手鐲，看看自己戴上后是什么感覺(jué)。堅(jiān)持戴一個(gè)星期，不要覺(jué)得一定要戴很多戒指或很多項(xiàng)鏈?zhǔn)骤C在身上才行。只要按照自己的節(jié)奏，戴上你覺(jué)得好的首飾，你就會(huì)開(kāi)始建立自己的審美，這是一個(gè)非常有趣的過(guò)程。

Do you sing in the shower??

I do, for sure. I still have a lot of insecurities when it comes to singing, so I take that opportunity to let it go.

你洗澡的時(shí)候唱歌嗎？

當(dāng)然會(huì)。我對(duì)自己的歌喉仍然時(shí)常感到不自信，所以我會(huì)抓住這種放下心理負(fù)擔(dān)的機(jī)會(huì)。

What are you watching and reading?

I just started watching this series called “Normal People.” There’s a book by Sally Rooney. Do you know about it? It’s pretty incredible. What am I reading? I was reading “On the Road” for a minute. I got halfway through it.

?

你有在看什么劇嗎？或者有在讀什么書嗎？

我才開(kāi)始追一部劇，叫《Normal People》，改編自Sally Rooney的書，你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)嗎？挺不錯(cuò)的。我在讀啥呢？我這會(huì)兒在讀《On the Road》，看到一半了。

What’s one piece of advice you’ve gotten that’s guided you??

Understanding how setting boundaries does not make you an unkind person has really changed my life. And also understanding that it’s not easy to do. It’s a difficult thing to do. It feels uncomfortable. It makes other people feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, but ultimately it’s a very powerful and helpful thing to do for every relationship. So yeah, boundary-setting is not mean, it’s actually very important. It’s very kind, actually.

?

能分享一條指導(dǎo)你的人生建議嗎？

你并不會(huì)因?yàn)槎煤退藙澢褰缦薅@得不近人情。這真的改變了我的生活。同時(shí)，要明白它做起來(lái)并不容易。這是一件很難的事情，它并不好受。最開(kāi)始會(huì)讓他人感到有點(diǎn)不適應(yīng)。但最終，在每一段關(guān)系中，它都顯得十分有用。所以，就是這樣，劃清界限并不意味著刻薄，相反它很重要，是一種善解人意的體現(xiàn)。
