每天都可以做的7件小事

Life is meant to be shared and the need to connect is an important one for me. While time for self-reflection is necessary, so is the time we share with other people. True connection is seeking understanding and to ask one more question beyond, “How are you doing?” True connection is waiting for the answer.
生活意味着分享，而和他人联系这一需求对我来说非常重要。自我反省的时间是必要的，和他人一起分享的时间也是必要的。真正的联系是寻求理解，再加上一个意料之外的问题，“你怎么样？”真正的联系是等待答案。

I attempt to take one moment every day to stay in a conversation a little longer; call someone who has been on my mind or reply to an unanswered email. Connection provides me with the opportunity to nurture and to be nurtured.
每天我都试着多拿一点儿时间和别人聊天；给我脑海里的人打电话或回复电子邮件。和他人联系给了我让他人成长和自我成长的机遇。

There is security in knowing the challenges we face, we don’t have to face alone. Connect. Share. And then be fulfilled, inspired and understood, too.
知道我们面临的挑战就有防护措施，我们不必自己去面对。联系、分享、我们会满足、受到启发并得到理解。

5. Challenge yourself.
挑战自我

Living in the familiar, inside your comfort zone, may feel safe but it doesn’t provide the opportunity to stretch and grow. Challenge yourself to do one daring thing every day.
在自己熟悉的舒适区内，可能会感觉安全，但是它不会为你提供伸展和成长的机遇。每天挑战自己，做一件勇敢的事情。

My challenges typically center on acknowledging my needs. It is my nature to do for others first. So, my simple challenge every day is remember that I am important, too.
我的挑战通常集中在承认我的需求上，先为他人着想是我的天性。所以，每天我的挑战就是记住我也很重要。

What you do can be simple as well. Ask for one thing you want, start a project or run an extra minute. The point is to do one thing that will take you a little bit closer to where you want to go. With each daily challenge you will see something wonderful happen – you find yourself becoming the person you want to be.
你所做的也可以很简单。找一件你想做的事，开始一个项目或多做一分钟。要点是做一件能让你离自己想要达到的程度更接近的事情。 每天一个挑战，你会发现有精彩的事情发生——你发现自己变成了想要成为的人。

6. Share your love
分享你的爱

Of the all the things I say or do, the way I love matters most. Love extends a piece of my kindness to someone, or something else. I share my love by helping someone feel special; volunteering my time and talent; sharing my heart through my writing and by providing unconditional love for my family.
在我说过或做过的事情中，爱的方式是最重要的。爱可以把我的好意传给他人或其他的事物。我通过让他人感受到特别来分享我的爱；自愿贡献我的时间和天赋；通过写作来分享我的内心，并为我的家人提供无条件的爱。

Give a hug, make time, listen, care, support and protect. All good, simple things to do; and especially good to do when they are powered by love.
给予一个拥抱、抽出时间、去倾听、去关心、去支持、去保护。做好的、简单的事情；尤其是在爱的动力下做好事。

7. Rest and refresh.
休息并恢复精神

My body signals me when it has had enough. When I fail to listen is when I crash and burn. I’m learning to back off the gas a little more and to take the time to unwind, decompress, and refresh my mind and body.
当我的身体受够了就会向我发信号。当我崩溃或感到热和痛时，我就听不进去别人说的话。我学着放手，花时间去放松、解压，让我的精神和身体恢复健康。

Life does comes at us hard and fast. Fatigue, stress and exhaustion begins to settle in faster than you may think, or notice. The best remedy for this is rest.
生活向我们涌来，这不能改变。疲劳、压力和筋疲力尽比你想象的或注意到的来地要快得多。最好的补救方式就是休息。

Disconnect from all of the busyness and reconnect with what brings you the most nourishment. Spend time with your partner, watch a guilty-pleasure television show, read a book, or simply be and enjoy the serenity of doing nothing for a while.
和所有的繁忙断开连接，和能带给你营养的事物重新联系。花些时间和你的搭档呆在一起，看看恶趣味的电视节目，读本书或就是呆在一起，享受什么也不做的宁静时光。
