1.Go for a walk
散步
Grab your dog, best friend, or your significant other and head out on a
brisk walk. Just a little bit of exercise can boost your mood and give you a fresh
perspective on problems that have been bothering you. Think walks are boring? Try walking to a place that seems exciting to you.

牽上狗,叫上最好的朋友或其他重要的人,到戶(hù)外來(lái)一次輕快的散步。只是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)鍛煉就能讓你的情緒高昂起來(lái),同時(shí)也會(huì)讓你用新的視角來(lái)看待那些讓你煩悶不堪的問(wèn)題。覺(jué)得散步無(wú)聊?試著去你感興趣的地方散步看看。在購(gòu)物商場(chǎng)里逛一逛,在換季甩賣(mài)時(shí)晃蕩上幾圈,更可以步行去買(mǎi)一些冰凍酸奶。在享受出游的快樂(lè)時(shí),你自然會(huì)將它列為你日常生活的一部分。
