我們培養(yǎng)習(xí)慣,習(xí)慣塑造我們。
01
Be grateful
學(xué)會(huì)感激
Slow down, look around you, and pay attention to the little details in your life – the delicate purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, the hot shower that washes away your long day, and the smile in your partner’s eyes.
讓自己變慢腳步,看看你的四周,關(guān)注生活中的細(xì)微之處:人行道上淡紫色的花,美麗的日落,洗去你一天疲憊的淋浴,伴侶眼中的笑容。
When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beautify, wonder and blessings, you’re automatically filled with happiness.
當(dāng)你的感恩之心能夠欣賞生活的美,思考和祝福,你自然就充滿了幸福感。
02
Choose your friends wisely
明智地選擇自己的朋友
According to Harvard, the most important external factors affecting individual happiness are human relationships.
哈佛大學(xué)的一個(gè)研究結(jié)論就是,影響個(gè)人幸福最重要的外部因素是人際關(guān)系。
So if you want to be happy, choose to be around people who are optimistic, who appreciate you as you are, and who can make your life richer, bigger, more fun, and more meaningful.
所以如果你想變得開(kāi)心的話,要選擇和樂(lè)觀的朋友在一起,他們能欣賞真實(shí)的你,讓你的生活變得更豐富、快樂(lè)、有意義。
03
Cultivate compassion
培養(yǎng)同情心
When we try to step into other people’s shoes and understand a situation from another’s perspective, we’re more likely to handle the situation with compassion, objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more happiness.
當(dāng)我們代替別人,站在另一個(gè)角度看問(wèn)題,我們更能用同情心,客觀和有效地處理問(wèn)題。生活中就會(huì)少一些沖突,多一點(diǎn)快樂(lè)。
04
Keep learning
不斷學(xué)習(xí)
Learning keeps us young and dreams keep us alive. When we engage our brains and put them toward productive uses, we’re less likely to dwell on unhappy thoughts and much more likely to feel happy and fulfilled.
學(xué)習(xí)讓我們保持年輕,夢(mèng)想讓我們充滿活力。我們運(yùn)用大腦,進(jìn)行運(yùn)作的時(shí)候,我們就不大會(huì)想不開(kāi)心的事情,我們會(huì)變得更開(kāi)心和滿足。
05
Become a problem solver
學(xué)會(huì)解決問(wèn)題
Happy people are problem solvers. When they encounter a challenge in life, they don’t beat themselves up and fall into a depressive state. Instead, they face up to the challenge and channel their energies toward finding creative a solution.
開(kāi)心的人是會(huì)解決問(wèn)題的人。在生活中遇到挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候,他們不會(huì)自虐,然后變得很消沉。他們會(huì)直面挑戰(zhàn),調(diào)動(dòng)全身力量尋找解決辦法。
By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever it is you set your mind to – and whatever challenges life throws your way.The result? You’ll have more happiness in your life.
通過(guò)變成一個(gè)解決問(wèn)題的人,你會(huì)建立自己的自信心和下決心要的事情和直面挑戰(zhàn)的能力。結(jié)果是你在生活中將更加擁有更多快樂(lè)。
06
Do what you love
做你想做的事情
Since we spend over one-third of our adult life working, loving what we do has a huge impact on our overall happiness. It’s one of life’s greatest blessings to find a line of work that we’re deeply passionate about and that utilizes our greatest gifts. If this is not possible at the moment, then try to find enjoyment and meaning in your current work, or cultivate a hobby that involves doing something you love.
既然我們成人生活的三分之一時(shí)間都在工作,那么做我們想做的事對(duì)我們的整體幸福感就有很大的影響。做自己最熱愛(ài)的工作并把天賦發(fā)揮最大化,這是人生最大的幸福之一。如果現(xiàn)在不能做你想做的事情,那就試著在你現(xiàn)在的工作中尋找快樂(lè)和意義,或者培養(yǎng)一個(gè)你喜愛(ài)的興趣。
