七招教你立刻感受幸福

Some days are just rough. Like, really rough. You know the feeling: you’re dragging at home or work, plagued by inertia, laziness, and lack of motivation. You might be going through a tough time because of a particular event or just feeling the end of a really long winter. Or your coffee machine broke — for the third time this week!

有些天总是那么难受，似乎，真的很难受。你明白这样一种感受:你在家里磨蹭，被惯性影响，懒惰，没有动力。因为某个事件你可能会经历一个特别痛苦的时间，或者感觉漫长的冬天似乎没有尽头。或者你的咖啡机坏了---而且这次坏是本周第三次坏。

1. Remember a win. 记住胜利

We often are so busy beating ourselves up that we forget to remember what we’ve done well. Think back to your most recent success — it could be as small as completing a work or school assignment on time, or as big as winning a major award. You. Are. AWESOME! Feel that sense of accomplishment come rushing back instantly.

我们经常忙于要求自己什么事都要做到最好，忘记了我们曾经也做得很好。回想一下最近一次做得比较好的事件--可能小到是工作中的一件小事，或者也只是按时交了学校布置的作业，或者也可能是大到赢得了一个大奖。你很不错！立即感受一下那种迎面扑来的成就感。

2. Be grateful.感激

Gratitude is one of the most powerful feelings that exists. It makes us feel lucky and wealthy. What do you appreciate — a family member or friend, the ability to be healthy, your fabulous guitar skills? How much better is your life as a result? Be grateful for the people you love, the roof over your head, or even for the fabulous ideas you find on Lifehack! Then sit back and bask in the warm fuzzies.

感恩是一种有着强大能量的情感。他让我们感觉到幸运，感觉到富有。你感恩些什么----家人、朋友，健康、还是弹得一手好吉他？你的生活比以前改善了多少？感谢你爱的人，你有家可以回，感谢生活教会你的东西。坐下来，感受这些温暖。

3. Clear the clutter.清理杂物

Clutter is a mood killer. For an instant pick-you-up…pick up! It’s not as painful or time consuming as it sounds. Start by looking around you. Find five things that are out of place at your home or office. Put them back in their right place – or if you no longer use them, get rid of them! Restoring to a sense of order will immediately make you feel more calm and in control.

杂物是好心情的第一杀手。会让你的心情一下子就不好了，把东西整理好吧！听起来似乎不那么难受，也不那么花时间。先看看你的周围。在你工作的地方，在你家里找到放错了位置的5件东西，把它们放回原位---或者，要是你不打算再用了，那就扔掉吧。立即就能将一切东西收拾的井井有条，你也会觉得心态可以变得更平和，感觉自己把一切都收拾得妥妥当当的。

4. Give yourself a mental boost.给自己精神激励

Make yourself better than you were just five minutes ago. Learn something new! (It’s up to you whether it’s something useful or not.) Search “how to make a DIY bookcase” or “astrophysics 101″ or “migrating birds”. Knowledge engages your brain and makes you focus on something beyond yourself. So go ahead…add a little more savvy to your already brilliant self.

在这一分钟让自己变得比五分钟前还好。学习一些新的东西！（有些东西对你是否有用完全是取决于你个人）。搜索“自己怎么制作一个书架”、“天体物理学101”或者“迁徙的候鸟”。多多关注你以前不知道的东西，扩大自己的知识面，给原本就很精明的自己再增加一些智慧。

5. Spike your energy.激发你的潜能

Let’s get physical! In as little as two minutes, you can affect your body chemistry, which can makes you more optimistic. . DO, however, bust out your best moves, get your downward dog on, or pretend you’re jumping rope . Promise you’ll be perking up faster than you can say “hula hoop”.

让我们做些运动吧！只要两分钟，你就能让你的身体有一些化学反应，这些化学反应会让你变得更乐观。干起来吧，不管怎样，将你最擅长的动作做起来，来个下犬式，或者假装自己在跳绳。保证让自己比谈到“呼啦圈”的时候还要兴奋。

6. Get inspired.受到激励

Tap into your inner artist to draw a picture, play an instrument or do a little dance. Art not your thing? Read a book, or listen to a podcast by someone who inspires you. Try searching online for “most beautiful buildings” or “most inspiring people” — you can’t help feeling up lifted by great stories of people who’ve done remarkable things. And guess what? You could be next!

挖掘你内心里那个艺术家的潜能来画一幅画、演奏一种乐器、或者是来一段舞蹈。艺术与你无关？看一本能激励你的书、或者是听一段能激励你自己的播客。试着在网上搜索“最美的建筑”、或者“最能鼓舞人心的人”-----你会情不自禁的被这些人所做的了不起的事所震撼到。猜猜接下来会怎样？你会是下一个能创造出这种故事的人！

7. Set a goal.设立一个目标

Goals don’t seem that exciting at first glance. But they’re actually one of the most extraordinary motivators in the world. Why? Dreaming up something you’d like to achieve focuses you on your future self –a you that’s even better than the one today. As yourself what you’d like to accomplish in your work, family, community, or your personal life. Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to write a book, or deadlift 150 lbs. You can do any of these things! Don’t be afraid to set big goals. But even small ones can help get you started 。

乍一看，这些目标似乎并不吸引人，但实际上这些目标是世界上最能激励人的。为什么？关注将来的自己，实现你想要实现的梦想----那样的一个你比现在的你好很多。在你的个人生活中、在你的家里、在你居住的社区中做你想要做的。也许你一直都想写一本书或者是举重150磅。你可以做你想做的任何事！不要怯于给自己设立一个大的目标。但是即使目标很小，也能帮你有一个好的开始。
