不开心的人们有7个坏习惯:他们为什么不开心?

2013-03-12来源:lifehack
4. Setting unrealistic expectations.
设定不切实际的目标

You won’t drop two jean sizes overnight. Your relationships won’t grow without your attention. You can’t pay off $25K in debt in a week. Your new business venture won’t instantly turn a profit.
你的牛仔裤尺寸不可能一夜之间就小两号。如果你不努力,你的人际关系也不会有进展。你不可能在一周的时间内付清两万五千美元。你的新事业也不可能立刻盈利。

You’re going to make mistakes every now and then. You will go a day or two when you feel like you’re running in place. You’re going to try new techniques and they’re not always going to work. You’re a human being. You’re going to fail from time to time. But that’s how you grow. Worthwhile goals take work and persistence.
你会时不时地犯错误。经过一两天的时间你才会觉得准备就绪。你准备尝试新的技巧,但是它们并不总是有用。你是一个人,你会时不时地失败。但是只有这样你才能成长。重要的目标需要努力和坚持。

5. A bad attitude.
恶劣的态度

The greatest discovery you will ever make is that you can change your life by simply changing your attitude. Optimism is the most essential human trait, because it allows you to evolve your ideas and improve every situation you encounter.
仅仅通过改变态度就可以改变生活,这也许是你未来的最大发现。乐观是人类最重要的品质,因为它能让你改进你的想法,改善你遇到的每一种情形。

So don’t take things for granted. Be positive and realize how fortunate you are. Not every day will be perfect, but if you pay attention you’ll realize that 99.9% of the time you’re having either a good day or a great day.
所以不要总是觉得理所当然。肯定自己并意识到自己有多么幸运,不是每一天都能完美,但是如果你留意,你会发现99.9%的时候你过得不错或过得很好。

6. Slacking on exercise.
懒于运动

You DO have enough time to exercise. If you say otherwise, you’re lying to yourself. The truth is you don’t have time not to, or sooner or later you’ll be making time for illness.
你有足够的时间去锻炼身体。如果你说没有,那是在自欺欺人。事实上,你现在没有时间去运动,过些日子你就有时间生病了。

At least 30 minutes of exercise every day has been proven on countless occasions by countless medical studies to increase the strength, happiness and longevity of human lives. You’re talking about three and a half hours a week. That’s hardly seems an excessive amount of time considering the tremendous benefits in terms of the impact on the remaining 164.5 hours of the week.
无数的医学研究证明,每天至少锻炼30分钟会增强体力、提升幸福感、延长寿命。每天30分钟,一周三个半小时。 想想你能在一周内剩下的那164.5小时获得的大量益处,这点儿时间绝不算多。

7. Overindulgence of a good thing.
过度沉迷于某件事物

Eating too much makes you fat. Spending too much money makes you broke. Working too much leaves your family at home missing you. Playing too much leaves important work undone… And so on and so forth.
吃得过多会让你发胖,花钱花得过多会让你破产,工作太多会让家人在家想念你,玩耍太多重要的事情就无法完成……这样的例子举不胜举。

Happiness depends on the balancing act of applying your positive resources equally to the hungry deficits in your life. All details aside, the important thing to remember is this: Long-term happiness is never found in one good thing; it is a combination, it is a balanced lifestyle.
快乐取决于你能否把积极的资源均等地分到生活中的赤字中以达到平衡。抛开细节不谈,重要的是要记住:长期的幸福不会在一件事情中找到;它是一种结合,是一种平衡的生活方式。
