Have you ever wondered how some people always seem to see the sunny side of things? How missed flights can turn into adventures, bad directions can deliver them to exciting new locales, lost opportunities lead them to new learning, and unexpected changes in plans leave them feeling more spontaneous than flustered? How does that work, exactly?
你有沒有想過,有些人似乎總是看到事情積極樂觀的一面。錯(cuò)過航班會成為一次大冒險(xiǎn);錯(cuò)誤的方向,卻可以指引到讓人興奮不已的地方;錯(cuò)失了一次機(jī)會,卻能學(xué)到新事物;計(jì)劃外的變動(dòng),帶來的不是心慌,而是自在的感覺。如此樂觀,這般快樂,究竟是如何煉成的?

Count Your Blessings
列出讓你感到幸福的事

Make a written (or mental) list of things you are thankful for, from very small to very big and anywhere in between. To really boost your spirits, set a number (like 100) and then just keep jotting everything down til you reach it. It's amazing what the mind remembers when focused!
寫出(或思考出)你要感謝的事情一份列表,生活中的大小事都可以。為了能真正起到振奮精神,要制定好數(shù)目(如100個(gè)),之后在你達(dá)到目標(biāo)前,你要記下所有的一切。精神集中時(shí)腦子會記得很多!

Notice Little Unexpected Things
關(guān)注細(xì)小且意想不到的事情

Pay special attention to things you don't normally "see," like the expression on kids' faces when they're playing, the sound birds are making in the background, or a little breeze.
對一些通常“看不到”的事情,要給予特別關(guān)注,例如孩子玩耍時(shí)的臉部表情,鳥兒飛過的聲音,還有吹過的微風(fēng)。

Be Grateful For The Good
時(shí)刻感謝身邊的一切

Being thankful for what we already have is a tried and true way to feel better. Sometimes we get caught up thinking of what else is out there, when we have so many things to be grateful for at any given moment.
擁有后要滿懷感恩之心,這是一種讓你感覺更好、真實(shí)而可靠的方法。有時(shí)候,人們擁有了某些東西,卻還想著其它,但其實(shí)在任何特定的時(shí)刻,我們都要為自己所擁有的而感到欣慰。

Help Someone Else
幫助他人

Helping others takes the focus off our own ego and needs, and helps channel our energy into creating a better world for others. Studies show that helping others has multiple surprising benefits to our health and well-being.
幫助別人,能讓自己放下自我和個(gè)人需求。另外,幫助他人也會引導(dǎo)出我們?yōu)樗藙?chuàng)造美好世界的動(dòng)力。研究表明,幫助他人對我們的身心都有很多意想不到的好處。

Decide To Be Happy Today
今天就要快樂

This one is easy. Change your lens. Make a conscious decision to see the positive, to be kind to others, to be grateful, and to be nice to yourself.
這個(gè)很簡單,只要你做出改變。你得主動(dòng)地向積極的一面靠攏,對他人友好,多感謝自己,對自己好點(diǎn)。

Smile At A Stranger (And Make Two People Happy)
對陌生人微笑(會讓兩個(gè)人都快樂)

Smiling is another time-tested way to feel more optimistic. Even if you "fake it til you make it," and smile when you don't *really* feel like it, your brain thinks you feel better. People who see others smiling also feel more positive. Win, win!
微笑也是一種經(jīng)過時(shí)間考驗(yàn)、讓人更樂觀的方法。即便你一直要偽笑、感覺不到自己在笑,你的大腦也會有好的感覺。人們看到他人對自己笑,也會充滿力量。這就是雙贏的結(jié)果!

Read Positive News
讀一些積極的新聞

Proactively look for positive stories and news sources that highlight all the good in the world, like these sites for positive news and ideas.
主動(dòng)尋找一些世界各地積極樂觀的新聞,如那些有正面的新聞和積極觀點(diǎn)的網(wǎng)站。

Set A Small Goal, Then Do It
定一個(gè)小目標(biāo),然后完成它

Pick something easy, quick, and ideally a bit fun. Even small chores work. Make a little list, check them off as you do them, and feel the accomplishment endorphins kick in!
選一些簡單、快捷且有樂趣的目標(biāo),一些小家務(wù)也可以成為這樣的目標(biāo)。做一個(gè)目標(biāo)表,每完成一個(gè),就劃掉一個(gè),最后就能感受成功感受的沖擊!

Remember, Almost Everything Is A Choice
記住,一切皆是機(jī)會

You can choose your viewpoint, what you focus on, you reaction to a situation, your attitude toward people and events, and almost anything else. While bigger changes may require more planning and deliberation, they also are choices; you control your destiny.
你可以選一個(gè)你關(guān)注的觀點(diǎn)、對一個(gè)情況的反映、對人或事的看法,或是其它任何一件事。大改變需要更多的深思熟慮,這些事情就是你的機(jī)會。因?yàn)椋\(yùn)在你手中。

Absorb Nature
與自然相融

Getting out and about in nature -- or even focusing more deeply on everyday things you see outdoors -- helps remind us that we're all in this journey together. Seeing the amazing intracies in even the tiniest creatures can help refocus appreciation.
出外走走,置身自然之中(或者深深感受每天那門外發(fā)生的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴),喚起我們與自然的同行。小生物有大智慧,因此我們也會重新懂得感謝,感謝自然。
