The key when we do this is to maintain freshness.
關(guān)鍵是要保持新鮮感
How do we maintain freshness?
怎么保持新鮮感
One of the things that happens with this exercise is that it very often becomes a habit and we lose it.
這個(gè)練習(xí)的缺點(diǎn)之一就是它很容易變得一種習(xí)慣,失去新鮮感
We lose the freshness of it. We lose the mindfulness of it.
我們找不到新鮮感,無(wú)法用心去練
And we just take it for granted as an exercise.
我們把這種練習(xí)當(dāng)做家常便飯了
And the key is, one of the things that Lyubomirsky says, well, try to do it once a week. For some people, once a week is actually better than doing it every day.
關(guān)鍵是柳波莫斯基說(shuō),一周做一次吧,對(duì)有些人來(lái)說(shuō),一周做一次比每天做會(huì)更好
However, there's also a price. It's much less likely to become a trait if we only do it once a week.
但是這樣做是有代價(jià)的,每周練一次很難變成我們的一種性格
So how do we maintain freshness? Doing it every single day. How do I maintain freshness?
我們?cè)趺幢3中迈r感?每天都做,我怎么保持新鮮感
Well, fortunately, there's a lot of research on this topic- some of them by Lyubomirsky, as well as by others.
很幸運(yùn),有很多人都在研究這個(gè)問題,有些是柳波莫斯基做的,有些是其他人做的

The first thing is introduce the variety.
第一個(gè)方法是變著來(lái)做
So let's say I write about Sherial and there's something that I write about every day. It's Sherial my daugter, David my son.
例如我寫Sherial有關(guān)的事,有些東西是我每天都寫的,我女兒,我兒子
It's Tommy my wife. It's God. I write about these things every single day. And I write about other things as well.
我妻子,還有上帝,我每天都寫這些東西,我也會(huì)寫其他事
I can write about different aspects of these things. So one day I can write about Sherial's smile.
我可以寫這些事的不同方面。某一天我可以寫Sherial的微笑
You know her beautiful, one year old, toothless smile.
她才一歲還沒有牙齒,笑起來(lái)很可愛
And another day I can write about the fact that she's taken her first steps now.
另一天我可以寫她第一次走路
So vary. Or one day I can write about, focus... One week I can focus about my work.
變著來(lái)寫,另一天我可以關(guān)注別的……這一周我可以專注寫我的工作
Another week it can be mostly focus about personal things.
下一周我可以專注寫個(gè)人私事
And so on. Variety really is the spice of life- makes a difference here.
諸如此類。變化是生活的調(diào)味劑,很有效
