生活之美始于微笑

6. 用搞笑的人包围自己

Be around silly, super funny people. Laughter is absolutely contagious, and hopefully these people will make you smile so much your face hurts.

围绕在傻傻超级搞笑的人群中。笑声绝对传染，希望这些人能使你小到脸疼。

7. Get active.

7. 动起来

It doesn’t have be intense cross-fit/P90x/marathon training work outs either. Just doing something to get your breathing and heart rate going is what you should be aiming for. Studies show that even if they didn’t loose weight, people who worked out regularly felt better about themselves overall, both in their self-esteem and general health.

不必是激烈的综合体能训练、P90x体能训练或是马拉松训练这些大运动量锻炼。能够呼吸、心跳正常的这些运动才应该是你的定位目标。研究表明即使没有降低体重，定期体育锻炼的人整体自我感觉更好，自尊心和整体健康双方面都是这样。

8. Listen to good music.

8. 听听好音乐

It’s an age-old question, but why do we feel like listening to sad music when we’re feeling down? Most of us hate feeling sad or upset, and we just want that feeling to go away asap. Music can enhance our mood quicker than a lot of other methods. Listening to tunes that pump you up and get you excited just over the song are the ones you want to have in a “happy playlist.”

这是个由来已久的问题，但是为什么当我们失落的时候想听些音乐呢？我们中的大多数人痛恨悲伤和失落，所以我们希望这种感觉赶快消失。音乐能够比其他很多方法更快的增强我们的情感。听听音乐调整情绪、在歌曲中积极兴奋起来，这可是你想要加在“快乐播放列表”中的一条。

9. Walk with a purpose.

9. 有目的的行走

When walking around campus most of us are looking down at our phones or putting in headphones even though we may only have to walk 2 blocks down the road to get to our destination. For a day, put away all the things that normally close yourself off to others and just walk with your head held high and eyes wide open. Life’s beauty in nature, other people, and day to day life will become very clear. You may realize you’ve been blinded for awhile to seeing these simple pleasures that add up and bring so many people joy.

当行走在校园之中，我们中大多数都在低头盯着电话或是戴着耳机，即使只是穿过2个街区就到目的地。用一天时间，把所有那些让自己和他人之间绝缘的事情都放到一边，高高抬起头、大大睁开眼、步行在路上。生活的本质之美，其他人，日复一日的生活，会变得非常清晰。你可能意识到你盲行了一段时间，没有看到这些加起来的单纯快乐，带给人们如此多的欢愉。

10. Give more hugs and look on the bright side.

10. 拥抱，看向光明

Even if you don’t want one, receiving a hug from someone else at least shows you they care and appreciate your presence in their life. The more hugs you give and receive, the more that those subtle traces of love and compassion will magnify into you everyday outlook on life. If someone is needing advice, always start by listening well and then offering the brightest side to their issue you can. Honestly, I believe this practice of compassion and optimism is what changes lives.

即使你不想拥抱，当别人给你一个拥抱时，起码显示了他们在乎你并且感谢你在他们生命中的存在。拥抱的越多，那些爱的微妙痕迹和怜悯之情就会在你生活中的日常表象放大出来。如果有人正需要建议，记得从聆听开始，然后给予他们问题中你所能看到的最光明的方面。说实话，我相信这种怜悯和乐观的实践会改变生活。
