致单身者：如何一个人过得精彩

Being aware of world events is totally okay, but becoming addicted to the news is a sure-fire way to sink your mood. Limit your news consumption to a small handful of articles per day because there is no reason to bury yourself in depressing news stories for hours on end.
了解世界新闻无可厚非，但完全沉浸其中无疑是自讨无趣。每天限制只读几篇新闻报道，毕竟，没必要把时间浪费在众多负面新闻中。

Watching television is fine in moderation, but spending all of your free hours in front of the tube will do nothing to help you grow or feel better. Read a classic novel you adored in high school, go to a local community theater to enjoy a racy comedy or Shakespearean tragedy, and exercise at least every other day to keep your mind and body at the top of their game.
适当看看电视也挺不错，但若把所有闲暇时间都耗在电视机面前，既不利于成长，也影响情绪。不如读一本高中就喜欢的经典小说，去社区剧院看一场欢乐喜剧或莎翁悲剧，隔天锻炼健身，让身心永远保持良好状态。

5. Create Something of Value
创造价值

The best way to feel happy alone is to spend your time creating something that brings you joy. You could write a novel or self-help book and self-publish it on Amazon, start a blog about a topic that fascinates you, go the the park and paint a landscape to hang on your wall, or learn a new language, like German or Spanish.
单身想要过得开心，最好的办法就是创造能给自己带来快乐的东西。你可以尝试写小说或自助读本，然后在亚马逊上出版；或针对喜欢的话题开一栏博客，去公园写生并把画作挂在墙上，学一门新语言（例如德语或西班牙语）。

Sometimes it is hard to motivate ourselves to get to work creating at home, so if you’re feeling a lack of inspiration, pack up your notebook and laptop for a field-trip to a park, coffee shop, or downtown bench. A simple change of scenery can do wonders for your productivity.
有时一个人在家往往缺乏主动创新的动力，所以，要是觉得没灵感，可以带上电脑和笔记本，去公园、咖啡馆或市内长椅坐坐。简单的环境改变也能大大提高效率。

6. Treat Yourself to a Hot Date
与自己约会

Who says you can’t go to a movie or eat out by yourself? I love treating myself to hot dates because I can choose to go wherever I desire without considering anyone else’s opinion. Going out by yourself will help you become comfortable with being alone.
谁说单身就不能看电影或吃大餐了？我就很喜欢和自己约会。因为我可以随心选择自己喜欢的地方，不必顾虑他人想法。一个人出行可以让你更自在地享受单身状态。
