Myth 1 : You’re either born happy or not — it’s not something you can change.
秘密 1 ：天生快樂或不快樂----無法改變。
Get Happier Now: The next time you’re grabbing coffee, pay for person behind you. The feel-good mood bump will be worth every penny!
現(xiàn)在變得更快樂：下次你喝咖啡，把你身后的人的錢也付了。感覺好的情緒值每一便士。
Myth 2 : You can control how you act, but you can’t control how you feel.
秘密 2 ：你可以掌控你的行為，但無法掌控你的感受。
Get Happier Now: You guessed it: Smile! You can even set calendar alerts as reminders to do so regularly and consistently. While it’s not an instant cure-all, it will reduce your body’s stress response and make you feel better (even if you’re gritting your teeth behind that grin).
現(xiàn)在變得更快樂：你猜：笑!你甚至可以用日歷來提醒你有規(guī)律的持續(xù)的做。盡管并不會立刻治愈，會減少你身體的壓力反應(yīng)使你感覺更好(即使擰笑后你在磨你的牙齒)。
Myth 3 : People who are generally happy just have pretty good, stress-free lives.
秘密 3 ：擁有無憂無慮，毫無壓力的生活。
Get Happier Now: Write down a recent change in your life (good or bad) and then follow it with three good things that have come out of that change. For example: "My car is in the shop and I have to dip into my savings for the repairs. But, being car-less means I get to carpool with my coworkers who I’ve been meaning to get to know."
現(xiàn)在變得更快樂：寫下你生活中近來的改變(好的或壞的)然后改變之后會有三件好事。例如：我的車在修車行，我需要用我的儲蓄修理它。但是，無車意味著，我和我要了解的同事在一個平臺上。
Myth 4 : Having a positive attitude means never getting upset or frustrated about anything.
秘密 4 ：擁有積極的生活態(tài)度，就不會對事情害怕或沮喪。
Get Happier Now: Designate a “worry time” for yourself each day — no more than five minutes — during which you will allow yourself to indulge in all the negative thinking you want. Set a ritual to conclude your worry time — something designed to refocus on the good, such as performing a small act of kindness for someone, writing down a point of gratitude, or making a note of something in the recent past that’s made you feel relieved, happy, etc.
現(xiàn)在變得更快樂：每天為你自己標明“擔憂時間”---不超過五分鐘----期間你允許你自己陷入消極的思考。做計劃來總結(jié)你的擔憂時間----某事被重新聚焦于好的，例如對某人執(zhí)行一次小小的善意行為，寫下感激點，做個便條過去使你感到放松的高興的事情。
Myth 5 : Being unhappy makes you work harder.
秘密 5 ：不好的情緒會使你的工作更艱難。
Get Happier Now: Schedule a five-minute “Happy Break” in the middle of your workday every day for a week. Use that time to savor a treat you love (I suggest a square of really good dark chocolate), listen to your favorite song, text a loved one, or otherwise do something that you know will lift your mood. Don’t be surprised if you discover you got more done at the end of the week!
現(xiàn)在變得更快樂：一周計劃一個五分鐘的高興的時刻休息在你每天的工作日的中間?；〞r間品味你喜歡的美食(我建議一塊純黑色的巧克力)，聽你最喜歡的歌，下載一首你喜歡的，或做一些能提起你心情的事。在周末不要驚訝于你獲得了更多。
