10條小建議 讓你快樂每一天

　　我們生命中相當大一部分時間用于工作，因此何不盡我們所能，在工作場所中創造一種積極愉快的體驗呢?

　　這份清單給我們帶來了歡愉，我們也祝你閱讀愉快。對于如何能讓自己快樂，請隨時在這份清單上添上你自己的意見。

　　1. Exercise More

　　多鍛煉

　　It’s tough to be unhappy when you’re outside running, playing, and sweating. Exercising helps us not to sweat the small stuff—the little things that annoy us and take us off track from happiness. Another note: after exercising and sweating, please shower before returning to your workplace. This has a direct effect on the happiness of those around you.

　　你在戶外跑步、游戲和流汗時，很難會感到不開心。鍛煉能幫助我們避免庸人自擾的情緒——那些讓我們煩惱并且不開心的雞毛蒜皮的小事。另一個提醒：鍛煉且出汗后，在返回工作時請先沖個澡。這直接影響著你周圍那些人的心情。

　　We also believe that eating healthy is a key happiness factor. Traditional “comfort foods” laden with white flour and sugar might not be making you happy. We are not experts, but we do believe a healthy diet of natural foods increases the happiness factor.

　　我們還相信健康飲食是保持快樂的關鍵因素。傳統的“慰藉食物”充滿了白面粉和糖，可能不會讓你心情愉快。我們不是專家，但我們確實相信健康的飲食可提高幸福感。

　　2. Sleep More

　　增加睡眠時間

　　Nothing helps you sleep at night better than an honest day of hard work. For employees with growing children, pass on this one. You aren’t going to sleep for 18-20 years.

　　沒有什么比一天的辛勞工作更有助于保證你晚間的睡眠質量了。對于家有子女的雇員來說，請向他們轉告這一條。你在18-20年里不會有充足的睡眠的。

　　3. Commute Less

　　減少通勤時間

　　It makes sense to us and it helps the environment. Plus, it allows you to accomplish the next item.

　　這對我們來說很有意義，并有助于保護環境。另外，它還能讓你實現下一條。

　　4. Spend More Time with Family and Friends

　　花更多時間與家人和朋友在一起

　　Become friends with your work associates and you’ll spend even more time with those you care about. Believe that people are doing the best with the current resources available to them. Stop wasting time judging your coworkers.

　　和你的工作伙伴交朋友，你將有更多時間陪伴那些你關愛的人。相信人們借助其目前可用資源能夠最出色地完成任務。不要將時間浪費在評判你的同事上。

　　5. Spend More Time Outside

　　增加戶外活動的時間

　　We come up with our best ideas not in offices, but while we take walks, go out on the lake for sales board meetings, and play ultimate Frisbee.

　　最好的點子不是產生在辦公室里，而是在我們散步、在湖邊舉行銷售會議和玩極限飛盤時出現。

　　6. Help Others

　　幫助他人

　　If you’re depressed, stop thinking about yourself and go serve someone else. We become naturally upbeat, energized, and happy when we can see happiness radiating from another human being.

　　如果你情緒低落，那么停止為自己考慮，而去為他人服務。當我們看到自他人身上散發出的幸福喜悅時，我們會自然而然地開朗起來，感到振奮，并心情愉快。

　　7. Practice Smiling – It Actually Alleviates Pain

　　練習微笑——這會減輕痛苦

　　We suggest taking this one up and laughing to eliminate the pain.

　　我們建議開始練習這一條并讓自己展顏歡笑，以消除痛苦。

　　8. Plan a Trip (Even if You Can’t Take One)

　　計劃一次旅行(即使你不能實際出行)

　　Our receptionist rides a stationary bike so that she “could take a trip and never leave the farm,” as she puts it. She travels a few miles each day while talking to our customers and greeting guests. She also eats fresh fruits and vegetables from her garden and walks a mile outside each day. She’s the happiest person we know.

　　我們的接待員瑪麗蓮-比格妮喜歡在前臺蹬一輛健身車，因此她“不需離開崗位就可以踏上旅程”，她是這樣描述的。她每天都要旅行幾英里，同時與我們的顧客說著話并接待來賓。她還吃自家菜園種的新鮮水果和蔬菜，每天還會在戶外散步一英里。她是我們認識的最快樂的人。

　　9. Meditate or Enjoy Soothing Music

　　冥想或欣賞舒緩人心的音樂

　　We’re more likely to listen to music than meditate. We are passionately curious about life. Music lifts us up. We may be tech-geeks, but we can still rock and roll with the best of them.

　　我們更有可能選擇聆聽音樂而非冥想。我們對生活充滿了強烈的好奇。音樂可讓我們放松心情。我們或許是科技極客，但我們仍能隨著最優美的音樂而搖擺。

　　10. Be Grateful

　　心懷感恩

　　Our energy is increased when we add a little gratitude to all that we do. We are elevated by the opportunity to serve, uplift, and support others.

　　我們在所做的每一件事中都融入少許感激時，我們精神的活力會隨之得到提升。我們通過服務、提攜和支持他人而提升自我，從而保持心情的愉悅。
