糟糕心情High起來(lái)的小秘密

心情不好怎么辦?去購(gòu)物嗎?把錢花光了，心情就好了?還有更省錢又有效的方法，助你糟糕心情High起來(lái)!計(jì)劃一次旅行，做一頓大餐，看一部喜劇。打敗壞心情，其實(shí)很容易。

Although I'm all for indulging in activities to boost your mood, retail therapy is definitely a pricey way to do it. And it might make you feel worse in the long run if your shopping expedition makes a dent in your bank account. Here are some wallet-friendly ways to turn around a bad day:

雖然我很贊成去做一些能提升心情的活動(dòng)，但是購(gòu)物療法無(wú)疑是種昂貴的方式。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的角度上看，購(gòu)物后你的賬戶余額會(huì)減少，那時(shí)你可能會(huì)感到更難受。 下面是幾種既提升心情又省錢的妙招：

1.Start planning a trip.Make a plan to take some days off and start researching destination ideas. Research has shown that planning and anticipating a trip has an even greater effect on happiness than the actual trip itself.

1.開(kāi)始計(jì)劃一次旅行。計(jì)劃休幾天假，并開(kāi)始調(diào)研目的地。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)計(jì)劃并憧憬一次旅行比實(shí)際的旅行會(huì)更讓人開(kāi)心。

2.Make yourself a happy meal. A happy meal is basically comfort food you can make at home that will help you feel better. Perhaps it's a childhood favorite like Oreos and milk or maybe a secret family recipe.

2.自己動(dòng)手做一頓快樂(lè)之餐。一頓快樂(lè)之餐就是你自己在家做的可口食物，它能讓你感覺(jué)好一些。也許它是你兒時(shí)的最愛(ài)，比如奧利奧、牛奶，也許是你按家傳秘方做出的食物。

3.Set a goal and accomplish it. Set a small and reasonable goal and complete it before the end of the night. It can be simple tasks like washing the dishes or finishing up two chapters of a mystery novel. You'll feel better when you're getting things done.

3.制定目標(biāo)并加以實(shí)現(xiàn)。制定一個(gè)小且合理的目標(biāo)，并在晚上睡覺(jué)前實(shí)現(xiàn)它?？梢允呛?jiǎn)單的任務(wù)比如洗盤子或看完兩章推理小說(shuō)。當(dāng)你實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的時(shí)候，你會(huì)感覺(jué)好一些。

4.Do something nice for someone. Doing a nice act for someone can make you feel better, studies have shown. They can be small acts like sending an email to your best friend telling her how much you appreciate her, or making dinner for your partner.

4.為他人做點(diǎn)兒好事。研究表明，為他人做好事為讓人開(kāi)心。 這些事兒可以是給你最好的朋友發(fā)封電子郵件，告訴她你多么感激她，或?yàn)榘閭H做頓飯.

5.Remember the good. Write out a gratitude list of things that you're grateful for. Noting down a list of things that you are grateful for can renew your appreciation in things that you've been taking for granted. Writing a gratitude list will cause you to put more focus on the positive and less on the negative.

5.記住別人為你做過(guò)的好事。寫一個(gè)感激清單，在上面列上你所感激的事情。記下你所感激的事情，會(huì)讓你對(duì)以前認(rèn)為理所當(dāng)然的事重生感激之情，也會(huì)讓你更加關(guān)注積極的事情，減少對(duì)負(fù)面事情的注意。

6.Remind yourself that this is temporary. I really love the mantra "This too shall pass" because it reminds us that everything — including positive and negative events — is temporary. In a few days, weeks, or years, you will probably get over it. All that matters is knowing that there is a day you will move on and to not invest so much energy in thinking about an event that's temporary.

6.提醒自己這只是暫時(shí)的。我很喜歡這個(gè)口頭禪：“這也會(huì)過(guò)去”，因?yàn)檫@句話提醒我們，無(wú)論是好事還是壞事，任何事情都是暫時(shí)的。幾天、幾周或幾年后，這些事情都會(huì)過(guò)去的。最重要的是，提醒自己有一天會(huì)繼續(xù)前行，不要浪費(fèi)這么多精力去想這個(gè)事情，因?yàn)樗皇菚簳r(shí)的。

7.Sleep early. Sometimes all you can do after a stressful event is to give it time and sleep on it. Head to bed early tonight so that you'll wake up well rested and ready to tackle the next day with gusto. Not getting enough sleep can cause you to be more cranky and sensitive, so you should definitely get a full night's rest after a bad day.

7.早睡。有時(shí)，在你遇到巨大壓力的時(shí)候，最好的方法就是去睡覺(jué)，讓時(shí)間來(lái)消化這些事。晚上早點(diǎn)睡覺(jué)，好好休息，就能精力充沛地面對(duì)第二天。睡眠不足會(huì)讓你暴躁和敏感，所以，如果度過(guò)了糟糕的一天，晚上一定要好好睡覺(jué)。

8.SOS a friend.Tell your friend you need an emergency hangout to get your mind off of things. Having someone else around can get you out of the negative rut. It's always nice to have an understanding ear and someone to distract you.

8.向朋友求救。告訴你的朋友，你急需和他們出去來(lái)?yè)Q換腦子。別人在身邊時(shí)，你的負(fù)面情緒會(huì)減輕。有一個(gè)能理解你的人或能轉(zhuǎn)移你注意力的人在身邊都很管用。

9.Animal therapy. Many studies have shown that owning a pet is related to lower rates of depression and blood pressure. If you don't have a pet, perhaps play with a neighbor's furry friend or visit a shelter to coo over the cute puppies.

9.動(dòng)物療法。大量研究表明，養(yǎng)寵物的人得抑郁癥和高血壓的幾率較低。如果你沒(méi)有寵物，你可以和鄰居家的狗玩一會(huì)兒或去動(dòng)物避難所對(duì)可愛(ài)的小狗說(shuō)說(shuō)話。

10.Meditate. Close your eyes, take a few breaths, and mentally release all that is bothering you. Meditation will give your brain a break from the stress and it will maybe even help you put things into perspective and help you realize that your situation isn't so dire after all.

10.冥想。閉上眼睛，做幾次深呼吸，從精神上把煩擾你的事情都釋放掉。冥想能讓大腦從壓力中解脫出來(lái)，甚至能幫助你換種角度看問(wèn)題，幫助你意識(shí)到你的情形并沒(méi)有如此可怕。

11.Exercise. As we all know, exercise produces endorphins, chemicals that make you feel good. Go to the gym and play your favorite workout songs and get a good workout. You'll be feeling better in no time.

11.鍛煉身體。我們知道，鍛煉身體能產(chǎn)生內(nèi)啡肽，這種化學(xué)物質(zhì)能讓你感覺(jué)良好。去健身館，健身時(shí)播放你最喜歡的歌曲，好好鍛煉。你馬上就能感覺(jué)好起來(lái)。

12.Watch a comedy. Laughter is the best medicine and watching a funny movie, TV show, or YouTube video can distract you from the negative events in your life.

12.看一部喜劇。笑是最好的良藥。 看看搞笑的電影、電視節(jié)目或Youtube視頻都能把你的注意力從糟糕的事情中轉(zhuǎn)移出來(lái)。
