How to Put a Smile on Your Face in Less Than 10 Minutes 怎么样才能在十分钟以内让你露出笑容:
1. Listen to one of your favorite songs. 听你一首最喜爱的歌曲。
Yes, the world will not crash if you take a few minutes to listen to a song you love. Sing along if there’s no danger to get thrown out of the window by angry colleagues.
是的,即使你花几分钟时间去听一首你喜欢的歌曲,世界也不会崩溃的。随着音乐唱出来,但要保证你不会被那些愤怒的同事扔出窗外。
2. Think about someone who has had a major positive influence in your life. 想想在你生命中有重大的积极影响的一些人。
Close your eyes and allow yourself to be filled with inspiration and positive energy. 闭上眼睛,让你自己充满灵感和正能量。
3. Feel gratitude! 心怀感激!
Think about the reasons you have to feel grateful. A lot of things may go south, but you absolutely have a lot of reasons to be thankful. 想想那些你不得不心怀感激的理由。很多事情可能会让你失意,但还是会有很多的理由让你心存感恩。
4. Cherish the sun! 珍惜阳光灿烂的日子!
Have you noticed what a positive impact good weather has on our mood? It’s magic! So take advantage of this and when you feel down, check the window! Do you see a round and yellow smiling face gazing through? If yes, drop everything and enjoy the sun for 10 minutes.
你是否注意到:一个好的天气会对我们的心情有很好的影响?这很神奇吧!那么请利用这一点,然后当你失落的时候,看看窗外! 你有没有看见一个圈和一张黄色的笑脸正在凝视着你?如果是的话,放下一切,去享受10分钟的阳光吧!
5. Call someone you love and tell them you love them. 打电话给你爱的人,告诉他们你爱他们。
It can be anyone you love. I don’t think you need to spend too much time to think about who to call, do you? 这可以是你爱的任何人。我认为你没有必要花很多的时间去考虑要打给谁,难道不是吗?
6. Drop any expectations you have in the world. 放下你在这个世界上任何的期望。
We want things to go in a certain way, people to behave in the way we expect them to, and so on. Just put all these expectations aside and allow yourself to get rid of the pressure. For 10 minutes, you are allowed to immerse yourself into freedom and inner peace. And, by the way, since you’re there, you may decide to stay a bit more…
我们想要事情总是能以一个合适的方式进行,或是想要别人能以我们期望的方式行动,等等。请把这些期望放在一边,让你自己摆脱这些压力。只需要十分钟,让你自己能进入一个自由和内心平静的状态。顺便说一句,既然你已经那样了,你也许会决定多在那个状态里待一会......
7. Chocolate time. 巧克力时间。
I realize a lot of people watch their calorie intake, and this tip may raise some eyebrows. To note, it is not something to do on a regular basis, but from time to time, just get your favorite chocolate and eat it with no remorse. Forget about carbs, fats, or calories and simply enjoy a sweet moment in time.
我知道很多人对自己的卡路里摄入量都很警觉,很多人看到这一条会很惊讶。要注意,这不是让你定期地去做,而是偶尔,拿出你最爱的巧克力毫无顾忌的吃。忘记那些碳水化合物、 脂肪或卡路里,只是简单地享受甜蜜时刻。
8. Do something crazy. 做一些疯狂的事情。
Do you always follow the rules? Well, it’s time to get out of your comfort zone and do something crazy — something that you don’t usually do, but that you secretly want to do. Or at least plan it. Don’t worry, it will be our little secret.
你是不是一直循规蹈矩?那么,是时候跳出你的舒适区,做一些疯狂的举动了,一些你不经常做,但你却偷偷地想要做的事情。或是至少计划一下。不要担心,这将会是我们之间的小秘密。
9. Lock the door, press play, and dance like there’s no tomorrow. 锁上门,按下播放键,然后尽情地跳舞,就好像明天不会到来。
Oh, yes! Let all the negative energy melt away. The walls need to see some crazy moves, so don’t be shy. You can put on your suit and attend that boring meeting afterwards. But now, it’s show time!
是的!让所有的负能量消失。墙壁想要见到一些疯狂的动作,所以你千万不要害羞。之后你可以穿上西装去参加那些无聊的会议。但是现在,你的演出时间到了!
10. Get out in the park, in a forest, or close your eyes and memorize the last time you went there. 到公园里去,到森林里去,或者是闭上你的眼睛,回忆你最近一次去那里的情景。
Allow nature to embrace you. Feel the inner peace… and smile! 让大自然拥抱你。感觉到内心的平静,然后微笑面对!
11. Run at full speed for 10 minutes. 全速奔跑十分钟。
If you’re not in good shape, don’t try this, but do some other form of physical activity you are comfortable with. This releases endorphins, and you will feel better instantly.
如果你身体不好,不要尝试这个,但可以尝试做其他形式的可以让你感觉舒适的体育活动。这将会释放内啡肽,让你立即感觉更好。
These are just a few ideas to get you started. I kept the biggest tip for the end though: don’t look for reasons to smile outside, but inside yourself. Better yet, if you don’t find any, create them! It only takes a few minutes.
这些只是让你重新开始的一些想法而已。我把最重要的提示放在了最后:不要找任何的理由对外界装笑,而是要在内心对自己微笑。更好的是,如果你找不到,那就创造它们!这只需要几分钟。 |
