如何快速提高幸福感

可可电台

DON'T LIKE A BOOK? STOP READING IT.

不喜欢某本书?那就别看了

“I mean, I don’t watch a TV show if I don’t like it,”Rubin says. So why not apply the same logic to books?“I used to have this feeling that a‘real reader’would finish a book if [she] started it.…Now I just have so much more time to read the books that I like, and I like everything that I read.”

Rubin说:“我的意思是如果我不喜欢某个电视节目,那么我就不会去看它。”为何不将同样的逻辑运用到书籍上呢?这样你就会有更多时间去读自己喜欢的书籍了。

TAKE ONE THING WITH YOU.

随手拿点东西提醒自己

This one may be especially helpful for parents: When leaving a room, pick up as you go, one thing at a time.“When you really make that effort just to say,‘I’m just gonna take one cup as close as I can get it (to the kitchen) without going out of my way,’without having to dedicate a lot of time and energy to it, you keep that clutter more in control.”

这一条更适用于父母:当你离开房间的时候,随手拿点东西在手上,提醒自己你只是去厨房喝杯水。这样你就不会把精力花在别的地方,能够更好地掌控自己的生活。
