2013-07-29来源:lifehack
4. Listen to music
听音乐

Whenever it’s too quiet, we tend to get bored very easily. Being bored leads to fatigue. So turn up the radio, or pull out your iPod and start listening to your favorite tunes. In an instant, you can turn your boredom and fatigue into a fun, entertaining moment.
工作环境太安静,容易让我们感到无聊,而无聊又是疲劳的引线。要么打开收音机,要么拿出iPod听听喜欢的曲子,无聊疲劳变频娱乐就在一瞬间。

As you sing along to your favorites songs in your head, your thoughts of being tired will slowly fade away. If you can actually get up and start dancing, then you will have mastered point #3 and #4 in one shot.
当你脑子里默默地和着喜爱的歌曲时,“我很累”的想法渐渐褪去。如果你能起来跳个舞,那么你同时做到了第3和4条,音乐与运动一箭双雕。

5. Laugh a little
大笑一会儿

Laughter has a lot of benefits, such as releasing higher levels of endorphins which make you feel better. This also sweeps away any feelings of being tired. As a matter of fact, recent studies have shown that even the anticipation of laughter increases endorphin levels.
大笑好处多,例如,释放出更多让你感到惬意的内啡呔。同时还能笑走疲劳。事实上,最近有研究显示,甚至对笑的期待也会增加内啡呔水平。

So you don’t have to laugh out loud, simply finding something amusing is beneficial. So start reading some jokes online, listen to your favorite radio show, or watch some funny videos on YouTube. You will notice that once you start laughing, you won’t be tired anymore.
所以,你不必大笑出声,只要想想让你发笑的事情就行。所以,读些在线笑话,听听中意的广播,或者欣赏一下YouTube的搞笑视频。你会发现,一旦开始笑,疲劳不再有。

6. Speak your mind
说出你的想法

It is very easy to find ourselves being tired when we are quiet. Think of a classroom for example. It’s very easy to get bored and feel fatigue during a monotonous routine. However, the cure is to participate! Speaking can bring about the same benefits as movement (after all, you are moving muscles when you talk) and being a part of something such as a conversation or a discussion can give us an extra boost in focus and energy to counter the feeling of fatigue.
安静时,我们也容易感到疲劳。把教室作为例子想一想。日程安排千篇一律,无聊和疲劳感很快来袭。此时,参与是良方。说话能带给你和运动同样的好处(毕竟,说话时肌肉也在运动),交谈或讨论对集中精力和增强活力有特效,令疲劳感不战而退。

So say something to a co-worker, or pick up the phone and call up a loved one for a few minutes. If you are alone, then maybe sing along to your tunes out loud?
所以,跟同事聊聊,或拿起电话跟情投意合的人侃几分钟。如果只有一个人,跟着曲子吼几嗓子,怎么样?

7. The Ultra Quick Power Nap
闭目养神

A quick power nap in the middle of the day is a great method to revitalize yourself and boost your energy to last you until the end of the day. However, most people who work in public settings cannot just take a nap like that! What you can do is take an “ultra quick power nap”, which consists of simply closing your eyes for a few minutes, clear your mind, breath deeply and slowly, and then return to your task. You can do this either at your break, or even at your desk. Just like that, you have gotten rid of your fatigue, and you can also enjoy better focus and alertness.
中午小睡一会,帮助你恢复元气,甚至下班时还精力充沛。不过,大多数与同事分享办公室的人可没这样的机会。这时你能做的就是一个”超速高效养神功”,闭上眼睛,清空大脑,放慢节奏深呼吸几分钟,然后回到工作中。休息间隔时可以做,办公桌旁可以做。疲劳感就这样摆脱了,精力更集中,思维更敏捷。

Practicing any of these techniques will make you feel more awake, more energized, and increase your concentration skills. With the very long working days that we now experience, it is crucial to implement such methods into your routine so that you can get through your days without always having to feel tired.
将其中任何一项付诸实践都会让你觉得更清醒、更精力旺盛、更专心。工作时间太长,所以把这些方法加入你的日程,这样你就不必每天疲劳度日。

I used to always feel like I wanted to sleep, all day, whether I had enough sleep or not. Basically, I got tired of being tired. These methods worked really well for me, so I hope they can be beneficial for you as well.
我过去无论是否睡足了,都常常感觉整天困倦。可以说,我真的厌倦了疲劳。这些方法用在我身上真得很奏效,所以我希望他们同样对你们有帮助。
