爱生活爱自己：9种方式今天对自己好一点

Take one small step forward towards something positive. If your day feels mediocre or just sort of depressing then take one small step towards something positive to breathe new hope and optimism into your day and week.
向积极的方向迈出一小步。如果你感觉到生活平淡或实在有些压抑，就向积极的东西迈进，为人生注入新的希望和乐观精神。

Book or research a trip you want to take. Setup a dinner or a cup of coffee with a good friend. Look into how you can grow in your career to get new and exciting stuff to do. Try a new hobby.
预订一次你盼望已久的旅行；和好朋友共进一顿晚餐或一起喝杯咖啡；思考一下如何为事业注入更新更有激情的血液；尝试一种新的爱好。

6. If you stumble, be your own best friend.
如果遇到了挫折，做自己最好的朋友

Don’t beat yourself up, that will erode your self-esteem. Be a kind and supportive friend to yourself instead. Ask yourself: How would my friend/parent support me and help me in this situation? And then do things and talk to yourself like he or she would.
不要自暴自弃，这会损伤你的自信。相反，这时候要自己为自己打气。问问你自己：在这种情况下，我的朋友或父母会怎么支持我和帮助我？像他们对你那样对待自己。

And remember to ask yourself what you can learn from your stumble and if there is an opportunity in this situation. Then take that new knowledge you gain and move forward once again.
记得问问自己，你可以从这次挫折中学到什么，挫折中是否蕴含着机遇。然后从中获得新知识并再一次前进。

7. Take a laugh-break.
笑一笑，放松下

Take 20-30 minutes in the middle of your day or if that is not possible then use your morning or evening. Use your cell phone, portable media player, computer or TV and watch an episode of a sitcom, read a funny book or comic or listen to a podcast you know makes you laugh.
每天中午抽出20 - 30分钟（如果没时间，早晚也可以），用手机、便携式媒体播放器、电脑或电视看一集情景喜剧、读一本有趣的书或者漫画，或听一个能让自己开怀大笑的播客。

8. Remember, the future is still in your hands.
记住，未来仍掌握在自己手中

And it is never too late to change. Don’t get stuck in thought loops that just go round and round about what you could have done or what went wrong.
改变永远都不会晚。不要总想着那些无可挽回的事情：我当时应该怎么做？到底哪里出问题了？这些想法都已经无济于事。

Think about what you really want in the rest of your life instead. Better health? A great relationship? New challenges in your career? What are a few small steps you can take towards that goal? Take one of those steps today. Then another tomorrow.
相反，要想想你的余生真正想要的是什么。更好的身体？良好的人际关系？职业生涯中新的挑战？想实现这些目标，你可以采取些什么行动？今天就开始迈出第一步。然后循序渐进。

9. Simply remind yourself of why is smart to be kind to yourself.
提醒自己：善待自己是明智的行为

By knowing the reasons why it is smart to be kinder to yourself it, in my experience, becomes easier and easier to be kind to yourself and to take the time for it every day.
要是你知道为什么善待自己是明智的选择，在我看来，这会让你觉得善待自己是越来越容易的事情，并逐渐形成习惯。
