Small, simple life changes can be powerful. Implementing some of these changes can literally change your entire life. How do you change? Take on one change at a time, and go slowly. Implement each change consistently so that it becomes a habit. Don't do too much too fast. What follows is a list of changes that are simple, yet incredibly powerful. Some are obvious and some aren't. I hope they serve as reminders of useful changes.
生活中一些细微简单的改变有着不可低估的作用。一些改变甚至可以改变你的整个生活。 如何改变呢?一次做出一种改变,慢慢来,并始终如一地坚持,形成一种习惯。不要贪多求快。 下面列出一些改变,虽然简单,作用却难以置信。有些作用明显,而有的不易觉察。我希望下列条目能提醒你去做一些有益身心的改变。
1. Walk daily
1.每天散步
We humans aren't supposed to be sedentaryhuman beings. We are born to run, but even more so to walk.
人类不适于久座。我们生来善跑,走路更不在话下。
Walking every day is good for your physical health. But more importantly, it's good for your mind. Walking is a joy. You are outside without distractions. You may even see people. And there's few better ways to boast your mood.
If you asked me what's the best change you can make this instance, I would say "wake early."The early morning is peaceful — there are no interruptions and no noise. You can wakeup and go for a walk. You can meditate. And you can create.
And waking early is the most productive thing I've ever done. I often get more work done in a couple hours in the morning than during the entire day.
早起是我做的最富有成效的改变。在早晨的几个小时里,我做的事情常常比一整天做的都多。
3. Eat less
3.少吃
Many of us overeat. Let's stop. Eat slowly, and eat until you're full. Eat so that your belly doesn't bulge.
我们中的很多人都饮食过量。可别吃太多。细嚼慢咽,吃饱为止。这样才不会吃起将军肚。
4. Stop watching, start doing
4.不做旁观者
Watching is easy. Anyone can watch someone. Spectating isn't inherentlybad, but I believe we do too much of it. Instead of watching, do something. Or better yet, create something great.
Our culture tells us to go fast, to sprint and win the race. Problem is, the race never ends. When you choose to go slowly, you are choosing peace and happiness.
The incredible benefits of meditationare well-known. But most people don't practice it because it seems complicated. The truth is, you don't need to shave your head, or sit with crossed legs to meditate. The simplest way to meditate is to just sit and breathe. Focus on your breathe. Or focus on the sounds around you.
There are many ways you can become stronger. You can refuse to back down because of fear. You can stand up for what's right. All do one thing, increase your confidence. Gradually become stronger, and the world will open up.
Often, I used to feel like crap just because I wasn't hydrated . Drink water, and it will make you feel better. Soda and most other drinks often make you feel worse. Drink water and only water (besides maybe some tea or coffee). Drink it with meals and drink it throughout the day.
