愛生活愛自己：9種方式今天對(duì)自己好一點(diǎn)

1. Invest in yourself.為自身投資

Spend 30-60 minutes in the morning or evening with reading, listening to or watching material that uplifts you, that helps you to understand yourself and the world or that helps you to live a better life. Then, if possible, take one small action on what you have learned。每天早晚花上30-60分鐘時(shí)間讀、聽或看一些能提高自己的東西，這能幫助你更好的理解自己和這個(gè)世界，幫助你過上更好的生活。之后要盡可能學(xué)以致用，哪怕是很小的部分。

2. Find the truth and exception when an inner critic or outer critic attacks。

當(dāng)自我否定和外部批評(píng)來襲時(shí)，找到事實(shí)和例外

Your own inner critic may not always say nice things about you to you. People around you may attack you or try to bring you down to serve one of their own needs. If you or someone else does this, ask yourself: what is the exception to this though?你內(nèi)心對(duì)于自己的評(píng)價(jià)可能并不總是好的。你周圍的人也會(huì)出于自身的某種需要而攻擊你或試圖將你打倒。如果你或者別人這樣做了，問問自己：是不是有什么例外?

3. Set a low bar for happiness。為幸福設(shè)置較低的門檻

Wake up in the morning. Relax for a minute. Tell yourself: “Today I will set a low bar for happiness”。早晨醒來之后，先放松一下，然后告訴自己：“今天我將為幸福設(shè)置一個(gè)較低的門檻。”

The small things or what may be something one takes for granted becomes something I now often pause for a moment or two to take in and appreciate. This approach to the day makes life lighter, more joyful and it becomes easier to keep the motivation up。我常常為生活中一些人覺得理所當(dāng)然的東西停留片刻，并駐足欣賞。這會(huì)使生活更加輕松愉快，更容易保持激情。

4. Unstress tonight。今晚無壓力

Take a long bath and read something to escape. Or work out. Or talk to someone about something that is on your mind and let it all out. Set aside 30 minutes or more and be kind to your body and mind by letting the tensions and stress out。泡一個(gè)舒服的熱水澡，讀一些暫時(shí)能讓自己逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)的東西，或者讓自己筋疲力盡。找個(gè)朋友聊聊天，將一直憋在心中的煩惱全部釋放出去。預(yù)留出30分鐘或更多的時(shí)間，善待自己的身體和心靈，讓緊張和壓力遠(yuǎn)離自己。

5. Mediocre day?平淡的一天?

Take one small step forward towards something positive. If your day feels mediocre or just sort of depressing then take one small step towards something positive to breathe new hope and optimism into your day and week。向積極的方向邁出一小步。如果你感覺到生活平淡或?qū)嵲谟行阂郑拖蚍e極的東西邁進(jìn)，為人生注入新的希望和樂觀精神。

6. If you stumble, be your own best friend。

如果你遇到了挫折，做自己最好的朋友

Don’t beat yourself up, that will erode your self-esteem. Be a kind and supportive friend to yourself instead. Ask yourself: How would my friend/parent support me and help me in this situation? And then do things and talk to yourself like he or she would。不要自暴自棄，這會(huì)損傷你的自信。相反，這時(shí)候要自己為自己打氣。問問你自己：在這種情況下，我的朋友或父母會(huì)怎么支持我和幫助我?像他們對(duì)你那樣對(duì)待你自己。

7. Take a laugh-break. 笑一笑，放松下

Take 20-30 minutes in the middle of your day or if that is not possible then use your morning or evening. Use your cell phone, portable

media player, computer or TV and watch an episode of a sitcom, read a funny book or comic or listen to a podcast you know makes you laugh。

每天中午抽出20 - 30分鐘(如果沒時(shí)間，早晚也可以)用手機(jī)、便攜式媒體播放器、電腦或電視看一集情景喜劇、讀一本有趣的書或者漫畫，或收聽一個(gè)能讓自己開懷大笑的播客。

8. Remember, the future is still in your hands.

記住，未來仍掌握在自己手中

And it is never too late to change. Don’t get stuck in thought loops that just go round and round about what you could have done or what went wrong. 改變永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)晚。不要總想著那些本來能做成功或已無可挽回的事情。

9. Simply remind yourself of why is smart to be kind to yourself。

提醒自己：善待自己是明智的行為

By knowing the reasons why it is smart to be kinder to yourself it, in my experience, becomes easier and easier to be kind to yourself and to take the time for it every day。知道為什么善待自己是明智的，在我看來，會(huì)讓你覺得善待自己是很容易的事情，并逐漸形成習(xí)慣。
