快乐很简单：会让你很开心的14件事

When you take time out for exercise, you’re doing your body good in more ways than one. First, you’re doing what it was designed to do: physical exertion. Humans were made to move around and the body works best when it does what it was meant to do. Second, as you exercise, you release those same feel-good hormones as mentioned above. Third, when you take some time to exert yourself, you reduce your stress levels. All around, you need exercise to function optimally.
多找时间到户外锻炼身体，多活动身体总比身体始终处于一个模式好。首先，你的身体处于设定模式：强体力活动。身体状况会反应出来你是怎样对待身体的。其次，你健身的话，同样会释放一种上文所提到的感觉良好的荷尔蒙。第三，找时间健身会达到减压的效果。总之，你需要运动锻炼保持最佳的身体状况。

9. Avoid Regrets
别让自己有遗憾

We all make mistakes in life–that’s part of the human condition. But with a little forethought, you can try to avoid making big mistakes. Even then, they still happen. That’s when it’s best to learn to forgive–yourself and others–because everyone else just trying to get through life the best they can, too. They’ll make mistakes, but the trick is, moving on from them.
一生中我们都会犯错误，这是人类社会的一部分。但是稍微多考虑一下，尽量避免出大错。即使这样却还是会出错。最好学着去原谅自己、原谅别人，因为别人也在尽力把日子过到最好。他们会犯错误，但技巧在于要从他们身上吸取教训改进自己。

10. Take Time to Meditate
找时间沉思冥想

Sitting down, lighting a candle and doing some deep breathing for ten minutes are all it takes to relax your mind and body. In doing so, you get in touch with your inner-self, and invariably, you’ll get to know yourself a little better. That’s definitely a booster on the happiness scale.
坐下来、点上蜡烛、做十分钟的深呼吸让身心放松。这样你会接触抵达你的内心深处，并且还能对你自己更好地了解一下。沉思冥想绝对是幸福的助推器。

11. Deal With Clutter
理顺一下杂乱无章的生活

Are you overrun with books and papers piled everywhere? Too much mail sitting on the hall table? Why not tackle a small task each day for a month in an effort to de-clutter your life? When you’re not running around looking for items you can’t find, when everything has its place, you’ll automatically be less stressed and in a better mental state.
你把书和纸堆的到处都是吗？桌面上挂着太多的邮件？为什么不每天处理一项小的任务，努力坚持一个月的时间，来理顺你杂乱无章的生活？你不再为找不到东西而焦头烂额，你的每样东西都有固定地方，你自然就不会把自己搞得那么紧张有压力，而且会有一种比较好的精神状态。

12. Get Enough Rest
充分地休息好

Ever notice how cranky you are the afternoon when you’ve only had five or six hours of sleep? Many of us are suffering from sleep deprivation which can lead to higher levels of stress and edginess. After a good night of sleep, you can tackle your daily tasks in a more calm, alert way. It’s so much better than experiencing that awful sluggish feeling in that oh-so-important meeting with your boss. Your body will thank you, too.
你有没有注意到，在只睡了五六个小时的情况下，第二天下午你就会陷入暴躁的状态？我们大多数人在睡眠不足时会有更大的压力感和焦躁感。晚上睡个好觉，处理日常工作任务就会更加精力集中、冷静镇定。与老板开会时，精神焕发总比全身慵懒松散的感觉好。你的身体也会感谢你让它充分地休息好了。

13. Eat Healthier Foods
吃健康食品

You’ve heard the phrase, “You are what you eat.” It’s true. If you spend your time eating package after package of boxed noodles, canned dinners or fast food, your body is going to let you know by gaining weight, feeling sluggish, and quite possibly having a host of health problems. How can you look and feel your best if the foods you eat are not good for you? By eating better you’re not only taking care of yourself, but you’ll also feel more vibrant and energetic. You’ll literally be healthier from the inside out.
可曾听过这种说法：“吃得好身体好。” 真是这样。如果你经常吃速食面、罐装食品或快餐，你的身体也会给你释放出不好的信号：体重增加、无精打采，而且身体很可能会出现一系列的健康问题。如果你吃得不好怎么可能会有最好的气色和感觉呢？吃得好不仅能照顾好自己的身体，也会感觉自己更加精力充沛。你会感觉到自己那种由内而外的健康状态。

14. Don’t Compare Yourself To Others
不拿自己和别人做比较

This is definitely easier said than done, but if you can condition your mind to focus on the good that you are doing and the good things in your life, you’re not going to be tempted to focus on how others are doing.
这绝对是说起来容易做起来难，但是如果你能集中精力把自己的事情做好，并关注生命中的美好，你就不会被诱惑去好奇地关注别人怎么做。
