放假就要远离压力:十个不花钱的放松方式
1. Read a Book
1. 看本好书
Head to your local library and get yourself a library card, which is free. Many libraries now have lending services for ebooks, too, making it even easier to sneak a few moments of quiet relaxing time. Even if you're not a big reader, you might be surprised by how calming it is to simply sit and get lost in a few pages.
到家附近的图书馆,办张免费的借书卡。许多图书馆甚至开通了电子图书服务,使你能够更好地享受静坐阅读的时间。即使你不是一个爱看书的人,你也会惊讶于静坐看书,沉浸书本所带来的舒适和宁静。
2. Go For a Walk
2. 散个小步
Anytime you are feeling like you just can't take anymore, head outdoors for a brisk walk. Getting your body moving is a great way to destress and let your brain work through your problems. Or grab a friend and chat away while pounding the pavement.
当你无法承受压力的时候,出门散个步。活动身体能够减压并让大脑理清思路。散步的时候也可以叫上一个朋友,一边聊天,一边活络身体。
3. Meditate
3. 来个冥想
Find a quiet corner, and tune out for five minutes. Set a timer on your phone, and enjoy sitting in silence, download a self-guided meditation routine.
找个安静的角落,放松五分钟。用手机定个时,享受静坐,下载一段冥想词引导自己进入冥想状态。
4. Watch the Sunset (or Sunrise)
4. 看场日落(或日出)
We spend a lot of time working hard, which means getting outdoors isn't always at the top of the daily must-do list. On seriously stressful days, make time to watch the sunset — without your phone. Turn it off and sit while taking in the wonders of nature and celebrating the end of your long day.
我们每天都在卖力地工作,所以出门放松很少会被提上日程安排。但压力实在大的时候,不要带手机,去看个日落。坐下来欣赏大自然的美景,庆祝漫长的一天终于结束了。
5. Sing a Song
5. 唱个小曲
Even if you're not a professional crooner, sing a song. Turn the radio up and sing along to your favorite tune, or hit the town for some karaoke. And singing gets your blood pumping — due to the deep breaths you take to belt out a tune — which elevates mood.
即使你唱歌不好听,没关系,唱首歌吧。把音乐调大,伴着喜欢的曲子唱起来,或者干脆去唱个K。由于唱歌时深呼吸带动了血液循环,你的情绪也会跟着好起来。
