每天快乐多一点:6种方式提升每日心情

1. Say a Morning Affirmation
1. 在清早鼓励自己

The first thought in your head should not be "ugh" or "Is it Friday yet?" Try an upbeat intention instead, such as, "This day is going to be wonderful," "I'm lucky to be alive today," "I have gifts to share today," or "I'm going to have a terrific experience." Keep Post-Its with positive affirmations next to your bed or on your bathroom mirror to remind yourself to fill your head with positive thoughts.
早晨醒来，你脑海中闪过的第一个念头不应该是“啊”或“星期五了么？”，试试乐观点的吧，比如“今天一定超级棒” “能活着是多么幸运的事情” “今天有些礼物可以分享”又或“我今天一定要经历什么大好事”。坚持做下去，在床边或浴室镜子前面说的乐观向上的话，会提醒你多给自己一些点积极思想。

2. Say "I Love You" Every Day
2. 每天都说我爱你

Before you leave the house, say "I love you" to a loved one in person, by text, or on email. Say it to your spouse, to your children, or to your pets. Look in the mirror and say it out loud to yourself. Open your heart to love and watch your mood improve. We are designed to connect with other beings and when we do, we feel better.
离开家时，用手写或者发邮件来对每个人说我爱你，你的伴侣，孩子甚至是宠物。也对着镜子大声的对自己说出来，敞开心扉去爱，你的心情也会变好。我们不是孤岛，我们和别人密不可分，所以做这些时，我们会感觉更快乐。

3. Smile
3. 微笑

Whenever anyone asks you, "How are you?" bring to mind at least one way that life is grand. Say "I'm terrific" and notice how people around you respond. When you say this with zesty energy and a smile, you send a message to your brain that you're happy.
无论什么时候别人问你“最近怎么样？”你脑子里需要想到的至少是生命很美妙，说“我好极了”，看看周围人的反应。如果你的回应充满了能量并附上一个微笑，你就向大脑传递了信息——你很快乐。
