1. Get out in nature
1. 接近自然
You probably seriously underestimate how important this is. (Actually, there’s research that says you do.) Being in nature reduces stress, makes you more creative, improves your memory and may even make you a better person.
你也許會(huì)低估接近自然到底多么重要（實(shí)際上研究也證明人人往往會(huì)低估）。身處自然之中，壓力會(huì)減少，人也會(huì)更具創(chuàng)造力，記憶力提高，變得更好。
2. Exercise
2. 鍛煉
We all know how important this is, but few people do it consistently. Other than health benefits too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, increases libido and makes you feel better about your body. A Harvard study that has tracked a group of men for more than 70 years identified it as one of the secrets to a good life.
我們都知道這很重要，但是很少有人能堅(jiān)持做下來(lái)。不提那些無(wú)數(shù)對(duì)健康有益的方面，鍛煉還會(huì)讓你更聰明更開(kāi)心，提高睡眠質(zhì)量，提高生命力，讓你精神煥發(fā)。哈佛的研究表明，很多活到70歲以上的人們都把鍛煉看成健康生活的秘訣之一。
3. Spend time with friends and family
3. 和家人朋友共處時(shí)光
Harvard happiness expert Daniel Gilbert identified this as one of the biggest sources of happiness in our lives. Relationships are worth more than you think (approximately an extra $131,232 a year.) Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke and diabetes.
哈佛幸福研究專家Daniel Gilibert發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中最大的幸福來(lái)源于和家人朋友共處時(shí)光。人際關(guān)系比你想象中要重要的多（能增加每年13萬(wàn)1232美金的收入）。“與世隔絕”會(huì)讓人變傻和發(fā)瘋。孤單還會(huì)導(dǎo)致心臟病，哮喘以及糖尿病。
The longest lived people on the planet all place a strong emphasis on social engagement and good relationships are more important to a long life than even exercise. Friends are key toimproving your life. Share good news and enthusiatically respond when others share good news with you to improve your relationships. Want to instantly be happier? Dosomething kind for them.
地球上長(zhǎng)壽的人們往往都會(huì)強(qiáng)調(diào)社交和良好人際關(guān)系的重要性，這甚至比鍛煉身體更加重要。朋友們是大大改善你生活的關(guān)鍵。當(dāng)別人與你分享好消息時(shí)，別忘了熱情的加以回饋，這能提高你的人際關(guān)系，想一直都開(kāi)心么？對(duì)朋友家人好點(diǎn)吧。
4. Express gratitude
4. 表達(dá)感激之情
It will make you happier.
這會(huì)讓你更開(kāi)心。
It will improve your relationships.
這會(huì)提升你的人際關(guān)系。
It can make you a better person.
這會(huì)讓你更加優(yōu)秀。
It can make life better for everyone around you.
這也會(huì)讓你周圍的人過(guò)得更好。
5. Meditate
5. 冥想
Meditation can increase happiness, meaning in life, social support and attention span while reducing anger, anxiety, depression and fatigue. Along similar lines, prayer can make you feel better — even if you’re not religious.
冥想能提升幸福感，生命的意義，社會(huì)支持以及注意廣度，同時(shí)減少憤怒，焦慮，抑郁以及疲憊。即使你不信教，祈禱也會(huì)讓你感覺(jué)更好。
6. Get enough sleep
6. 充足睡眠
You can’t cheat yourself on sleep and not have it affect you. Being tired actually makes it harder to be happy. Lack of sleep = more likely to get sick. “Sleeping on it” does improve decision making.
在睡眠這事上，你可騙不了自己，它的確會(huì)對(duì)你產(chǎn)生影響。疲憊的人往往難于感受快樂(lè)。缺乏睡眠=更易得病。“好好睡覺(jué)”的確能夠提高決斷力。
There is such a thing as beauty sleep. Naps are great too. Naps increase alertness and performance on the job, enhance learning ability and purge negative emotions while enhancing positive ones.
睡個(gè)好覺(jué)真是再幸福不過(guò)的事情了！小憩也是很爽的哦。小憩提高對(duì)工作的警覺(jué)度以及表現(xiàn)，提高學(xué)習(xí)能力，還能過(guò)濾消極情緒同時(shí)提高積極情緒。
7. Challenge yourself
7. 挑戰(zhàn)自己
Learning another language can keep your mind sharp. Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it’s more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most.
學(xué)習(xí)其他語(yǔ)言能讓思維更加敏捷。學(xué)習(xí)音樂(lè)則能提高智慧。挑戰(zhàn)你的信仰能強(qiáng)壯頭腦。每天努力一點(diǎn)，就能提高意志力，在成功這事上，意志力可比IQ中重要得多。當(dāng)回望過(guò)去，人們最后悔的兩件事莫過(guò)于：沒(méi)有多學(xué)點(diǎn)東西以及把握住機(jī)會(huì)。
8. Laugh
8. 大笑
People who use humor to cope with stress have better immune systems, reduced risk of heart attack and stroke, experience less pain during dental work and live longer. Laughter should be like a daily vitamin. Just reminiscing about funny moments can improve your relationship. Humor has many benefits.
那些用幽默來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)壓力的人往往有更好的免疫系統(tǒng)，心臟病和哮喘的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)也相對(duì)較低，看牙醫(yī)時(shí)會(huì)減少痛處，同時(shí)壽命延長(zhǎng)。大笑應(yīng)該就像每天維他命一樣。回想那些有趣的時(shí)刻能提高你的人際關(guān)系。幽默的好處真的太多了。
9. Touch someone
9. 接觸別人
Touching can reduce stress, improve team performance, and help you be persuasive. Hugs make you happier. Sex may help prevent heart attacks and cancer, improve your immune system and extend your life.
撫摸能減少壓力，提高團(tuán)隊(duì)表現(xiàn)，使你更有說(shuō)服力。擁抱讓人更開(kāi)心。性則能預(yù)防心臟病和癌癥，提高免疫系統(tǒng)以及長(zhǎng)壽。
10. Be optimistic
10. 抱有積極的態(tài)度
Optimism can make you healthier, happier and extend your life. The Army teaches it in order to increase mental toughness in soldiers. Being overconfident improves performance.
積極能讓人更健康，快樂(lè)和長(zhǎng)壽。部隊(duì)里經(jīng)常要求士兵態(tài)度積極從而提高心理承受力。自負(fù)往往能提升表現(xiàn)。
