GOOD daily habits make life better 良好的日常生活使生活更美好
If you want to be happier…
- Talk with a positive person.

- Move your body (walk, exercise) for 20 minutes or longer.
- Walk a dog or pet an animal.
- Ask for a hug from one person a day.
- Call an old friend or relative.
- Invest 30 minutes a day doing a hobby you enjoy and find relaxing.
- Buy something new (even something small, like a new type of coffee.)
和一個積極的人交談寫下你每天發生的三件好事。笑 - 即使你必須強迫它。 只是笑的動作釋放內啡肽。得到一些陽光(或一個快樂的光,如果這是一個灰色的一天。)移動身體(步行,運動)20分鐘以上。走狗或寵物動物。每天要求一個人擁抱。打電話給老朋友或親戚。每天投資30分鐘,做一個喜愛的樂趣,放鬆身心。買一些新的東西(甚至是一些小東西,像一種新型的咖啡)

- Breathe deeply for at least two minutes. Focus on your breaths.
- Stretch different body parts for ten minutes.
- Listen to something calming and distracting (news, music) unrelated to whatever is stressing you out.

- Detach from the source of stress (excuse yourself from a meeting, take a break from a project, remove yourself from an argument) for a five-minute break.
- Sniff lavender or geranium essential oil (both lower blood pressure.)
- Sit in the sun (outside) for five minutes.
- Paint a picture.
- Talk to a friend for ten minutes, even if just to hear about his or her life.
- Spend ten minutes grooming (nails, bath, hair.)
- Take a nap.
- Chew a piece of gum.
如果你想更有效地管理壓力...深呼吸至少兩分鐘。 專註於你的呼吸。拉伸不同的身體部位十分鐘。聽一些平靜和分散注意力(消息,音樂)的東西與任何強調你的東西無關。擁抱(與情人,朋友甚至寵物 - 身體感覺都很安慰)離開壓力的來源(從會議中脫穎而出,從項目中脫穎而出),休息五分鐘。薰衣草薰衣草或天竺葵精油(均低血壓)坐在陽光下(外面)五分鐘。畫一幅畫。與朋友交談十分鐘,即使只是聽到他或她的生活。花十分鐘修飾(指甲,浴,頭髮)小睡一下。咀嚼一塊口香糖

- List three things you genuinely like about yourself. Read those three things out loud. Do this daily.

- Repeat a mantra in your head.
- Take a small risk daily. Find something that makes you a little nervous, like talking to strangers, and strive to do it one time every day to build your confidence.
- Ask for compliments from a trusted friend or relative.
列出你真正喜歡的三件事情。 大聲讀這三件事。 每天做這個站直。 讓雙手自然地懸掛在你身邊。穿著穿著你的衣服。在進入恐嚇狀態之前,勾勒出你的想法/話語。 準備將幫助您更有信心。 攜帶作弊筆記,如果可以接受。拒絕愚弄 而是去一個私人的地方(汽車,洗手間),在那裡你可以伸展和擺脫困擾。 然後專註於放鬆。注意對方而不是你自己的不安全感。在你頭上重複一個咒語。每天小風險。 找到一些讓你有點緊張的東西,就像和陌生人聊天一樣,每天努力建立一個信心。要求信任的朋友或親戚的讚美。
If you want to become more spiritually minded…

If you want to be more mindful…
- Take up meditation. Start with 15 minutes a day. Find a quiet place, set a timer, close your eyes and focus on your breaths.
- Pay attention to the details of now. What color is that butterfly? How does that salad taste? How many shades of green can you see right now?
- Consciously let go of worry or regret. Tell yourself 「Future Me will take care of that」 or 「The past is the past.」
- Focus acutely on an immediate sensation, like how great it feels to be tucked into your comfy bed, or how invigorating that brisk wind is.
- Invest emotionally in a current interaction. How does your friend feel about her problem? What emotions are you feeling right now? What can you do comfort/inspire/rejoice with the person you are with right now?
接受冥想 每天開始15分鐘。 找一個安靜的地方,設置一個計時器,閉上眼睛,專註於你的呼吸。
注意現在的細節。 那蝴蝶是什麼顏色的? 那沙拉的味道好嗎? 你現在可以看到幾個綠色的陰影?
意識到放鬆了擔心或後悔。 告訴自己「未來我會照顧」或「過去是過去」。
緊緊地注視著立即的感覺,就像把它藏在你舒適的床上感覺好多了,還是如何振奮人心的風。
在當前的互動中投入情感。 你的朋友對她的問題感到如何? 你現在感覺到什麼情緒? 你現在有什麼可以安慰/啟發/歡樂與你在一起的人?
