哈佛大學(xué)傾情推薦：20個讓你更加快樂的小習(xí)慣
1. Be grateful.
要學(xué)會感恩。
Slow down, look around you, and pay attention to the little details in your life – the delicate purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, the hot shower that washes away your long day, and the smile in your partner’s eyes…
讓自己變慢腳步，看看你的四周，關(guān)注生活中的細(xì)微之處：人行道上淡紫色的花，美麗的日落，洗去你一天疲憊的淋浴，伴侶眼中的笑容。
When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beautify, wonder and blessings, you’re automatically filled with happiness.
當(dāng)你的感恩之心能夠欣賞生活的美，思考和祝福，你自然就充滿了幸福感。
2. Choose your friends wisely.
明智的選擇自己的朋友。
According to Harvard, the most important external factors affecting individual happiness are human relationships. So if you want to be happy, choose to be around people who are optimistic, who appreciate you as you are, and who can make your life richer, bigger, more fun, and more meaningful.
根據(jù)哈佛，影響個人幸福最重要的外部因素是人際關(guān)系。所以如果你想變得開心的話，要選擇和樂觀的朋友在一起，他們能欣賞你真實的自己，讓你的生活變得更豐富，快樂，有意義。
3. Cultivate compassion.
培養(yǎng)同情心。
When we try to step into other people’s shoes and understand a situation from another’s perspective, we’re more likely to handle the situation with compassion, objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more happiness.
當(dāng)我們代替別人，站在另一個角度看問題，我們更能用同情心，客觀和有效的處理問題。生活中就會少一些沖突，多一點快樂。
4. Keep learning.
不斷學(xué)習(xí)。
Learning keeps us young and dreams keep us alive. When we engage our brains and put them toward productive uses, we’re less likely to dwell on unhappy thoughts and much more likely to feel happy and fulfilled.
學(xué)習(xí)讓我們保持年輕，夢想讓我們充滿活力。我們運用大腦，進行運作的時候，我們就不大會想不開心心的事情，我們會變得更開心和滿足。
5. Become a problem solver.
學(xué)會解決問題。
Happy people are problem solvers. When they encounter a challenge in life, they don’t beat themselves up and fall into a depressive state. Instead, they face up to the challenge and channel their energies toward finding creative a solution. By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever it is you set your mind to – and whatever challenges life throws your way.
開心的人是會解決問題的人。在生活中遇到挑戰(zhàn)的時候，他們不會自虐，然后變得很消沉。他們會直面挑戰(zhàn)，調(diào)動全身力量尋找解決辦法。通過變成一個解決問題的人，你會建立自己的自信心和下決心要的事情和直面挑戰(zhàn)的能力。
6. Do what you love.
做你想做的事情。
Since we spend over one-third of our adult life working, loving what we do has a huge impact on our overall happiness. If this is not possible at the moment, then try to find enjoyment and meaning in your current work, or cultivate a hobby that involves doing something you love.
既然我們成人生活的三分之一時間都在工作，那么做我們想做的事對我們的整體辛福感就有很大的影響。如果現(xiàn)在不能做你想做的事情，那就試著在你現(xiàn)在的工作中尋找快樂和意義，或者培養(yǎng)一個你喜愛的興趣。
7. Live in the present.
活在當(dāng)下。
When you feel depressed, you’re living in the past. When you feel worried or anxious, you’re living in the future. But when you feel content, happy and peaceful, you’re living in the present.
你感到沮喪，是因為你活在過去。你會感到擔(dān)憂和焦慮，是因為你活在未來。但是當(dāng)你感到滿足，開心和平和時，你才是活在當(dāng)下。
8. Laugh often.
要經(jīng)常笑。
Laughter is the most powerful anecdote to anger or depression. Research has shown that the simple act of curving the corners of your mouth can increase your feeling of happiness. So don’t take life too seriously. Try to find humor and laughter in life’s everyday struggles.
笑是對抗生氣或沮喪最有力的的東西。研究表明簡單的嘴巴上揚也可以增加你的幸福感。不要把生活看的太嚴(yán)肅。要學(xué)會在每日的奮斗中尋找幽默感和笑聲。
9. Practice forgiveness.
學(xué)會原諒。
Resentment and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. And most importantly, learn to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to become a bigger and better person.
憎恨和生氣是對自我的懲罰。當(dāng)你釋懷的時候，事實上你是在對自己施以善意。最重要的是，學(xué)會原諒自己。每個人都犯錯。只有通過我們的錯誤，我們才慢慢學(xué)會如何成為一個更強大，更好的人。
10. Say thanks often.
要經(jīng)常說謝謝。
Always be appreciative of the blessings in your life. And it’s equally important to express your appreciation to those who’ve made your life better in some way, big or small.
