10个日常好习惯 让你的生活变得更简单

2013-05-01来源:positivity blog
6. Stop trying to do things perfectly.
告别做事完美主义风格。

Go for good enough instead and when you are there you are done. Get things all the way to done this way and then move on to the next thing. Setting this more human bar for yourself not only leads to more things actually being finished but also helps with keeping your self-esteem on a healthy level. Perfectionism makes it pretty impossible to find or maintain high self-esteem.
凡事尽力就行,以这种心态一件一件处理事情。对自己的要求略微合理一些,不仅更易于完成任务,也能保持自尊心的健康状态。如果追求完美,反倒难以获得或维持较好的自尊心态。

7. Eat slower.
慢嚼细咽。

Make your lunch time a time of relaxation rather than a time to just add to the stress of your morning. One thing that works well to slow down when eating is to put down the fork between bites.
学着享受午餐时间,而不要去想接下来又是压力重重、同上午没两样的工作。想要细嚼慢咽的话,咀嚼时放下刀叉是个不错的方法。

8. Enjoy the simple pleasures.
享受简单的快乐。

A pear. Fresh and clean bed sheets. A hug and kiss. Holding hands. A laugh with friends. The sun and blossoming nature after a long and cold winter.
一个梨,清新干净的床单,一个拥抱和亲吻,一次牵手,与朋友一起开怀大笑,或者漫长寒冬后的暖阳与花朵。

9. Write everything down.
记下琐事。

Pretty much everyone’s memory is leaky. So help yourself. Write down what you need to do or shop for today. Write down your ideas before they fly away. Write down the one habit or area you are focusing on right now in your life and put that note where you can see it every day. Like on your bedside table or bathroom mirror.
很多人都容易忘事儿。所以,何不自己动手记下今天要做的事或要买的东西呢?记下一闪而过的灵感,记下当下生活中你正专注的习惯或领域,然后将便条贴在自己每天都能看到的地方,比如床头柜或浴室镜子上。

10. Breathe.
呼吸。

When you are stressed, lost in a problem or the past or future in your mind breathe with your belly for a minute or two and just focus on the air going in and out. This will calm your body down and bring your mind back into the present moment again. And it is actually sometimes enough to just do this for a 20-30 seconds to create remarkable effect inside of yourself.
当你紧张焦躁、为某个问题或过去及将来纠结不已时,请做一两分钟腹式呼吸吧。让思绪停留在呼气与吸气之间。这能让你的身体放松下来,让你的思绪重新回到此时此刻。有时候,哪怕只是20-30秒的时间,也能使你焕然一新呢。
