你可能会觉得，你的生活已经被会议和大大小小的事情所充斥，根本没有时间来放松--那你就错了。信不信由你，只需花上你45秒的时间，跟着步骤来做，你就能减轻压力。以下就是可以帮助你在前所未有的短时间内减轻压力的10个小贴士。

1. Read a Poem

Take 45 seconds to savor a single haiku, or read over your favorite sonnet. Beautiful language can really twist your mind in a way that helps to push away the cares of the day.

And even if poetry isn’t really your thing, you might find enjoyment in reading something with a humorous bent. Think Shel Silverstein, Ogden Nash, or Dr. Seuss.

读一首诗

花上45秒的时间来品味一首俳句，或者细细品读你最喜欢的十四行诗。美丽的语言确实能够使你抛开生活中的那些烦恼。

即使你不喜欢诗歌，读读那些诙谐的文字，你也会觉得很享受。想想Shel Silverstein，Ogden Nash, 或是Seuss博士。

2. Blow Off Some Steam

Get up and get moving, just for the amount of time it takes to hum a couple rounds of “Happy Birthday”. If you can burn off some of that nervous energy, you’ll feel energized, refreshed, and far more mentally capable of handling the stresses of your day.

If you can get some sun in during those precious few seconds, so much the better. Never underestimate the power of fresh air and sunshine to improve your mood.

发发脾气

起床开始准备一天工作时，花那么一点点时间哼上几遍“生日快乐歌”，如果可以把焦虑情绪赶走，你会觉得精力充沛，对于一天的压力处理起来也感觉有精神多了。

如果在这宝贵的时间里你能得到一些阳光的话就更好了。永远别低估了新鲜空气和阳光对改善心情所起的作用。
