新年培养一些有益的好习惯

5.放慢脚步

Our culture tells us to go fast, to sprint and win the race. Problem is, the race never ends. When you choose to go slowly, you are choosing peace and happiness.

我们的文化鼓励我们勇往直前、冲刺、赢得比赛。问题是生活这场比赛没有终点。当把脚步放慢，你就选择了宁静与快乐。

6. Meditate

6.冥想

The incredible benefits of meditation are well-known. But most people don't practice it because it seems complicated. The truth is, you don't need to shave your head, or sit with crossed legs to meditate. The simplest way to meditate is to just sit and breathe. Focus on your breathe. Or focus on the sounds around you.

冥想的益处不可思议，这已为人共知。大多数人却不去实践，只是觉得它太复杂。事实上，你不必削发盘坐，像出家人似的冥想。最简单的冥想方式就是坐在那里，均匀地呼吸。关注你的呼吸，或是关注身边的声音。

7. Become stronger

7.变得更强

There are many ways you can become stronger. You can refuse to back down because of fear. You can stand up for what's right. All do one thing, increase your confidence. Gradually become stronger, and the world will open up.

让自己变得更强的方法多种多样。不要因为害怕而退缩，敢于坚持正确的事。一次只做一件事，增强自信心。你将会越来越强，世界之门将为你敞开。

8. Drink water

8.喝水

Often, I used to feel like crap just because I wasn't hydrated. Drink water, and it will make you feel better. Soda and most other drinks often make you feel worse. Drink water and only water (besides maybe some tea or coffee). Drink it with meals and drink it throughout the day.

以前，我常常因缺水而感觉自己像个废物。喝水会使你轻松愉快，而碳酸饮料和其它大部分饮料不会带你这样的感觉。喝水，水（除茶或咖啡外）可以代替其他任何饮料。不仅就餐时喝水，其他时间也要喝水。
