你現在可以做些事情來停止憎恨生活
Hating life is a bit of a misnomer it seems: in the media, in education, in every aspect of our lives, we’re shown visions of a perfect world, one where everyone is happy and life is a decades-long dream. Unfortunately, it isn’t.
憎恨生活似乎有點用詞不當:在媒體上,在教育上,在我們生活的方方面面,我們都看到了一個完美世界的景象,在這個世界里,每個人都很快樂,生活是一個幾十年的夢想。但不幸的是,它并不是這樣的。
Life goes through ebbs and flows all the time and the key to getting through it all without cutting off your social circle and eating your local grocery store out of Ben & Jerry’s, is to cultivate some techniques and methods of going through life with some stability and grace. It’s not a guarantee against life’s hardships but, take the steps you want to use and you won’t hate life.
生活總是起起落落,而要在不切斷社交圈的情況下度過這一切,也不吃本杰里(Ben & Jerry 's)超市里的本地食品雜貨,關鍵是要培養(yǎng)一些技巧和方法,讓生活有一些穩(wěn)定和優(yōu)雅。這不是生活艱辛的保證,但是,采取你想要采取的步驟,你就不會討厭生活。
1. Get Plenty of Sleep
保證充足的睡眠
Seriously, you’re obviously going to be grouchy and more inclined towards the more miserable side, if you’re not getting your recommended seven or more hours of sleep a night.
說真的,如果你沒有達到建議的每晚7小時或更長時間的睡眠,你顯然會變得不高興,更傾向于痛苦的一面。
Start checking in how much you sleep and then start making steps to go to bed earlier and sleep for longer. It might cure every problem but at least you’ll be well-rested and less likely to nap throughout the day.
開始檢查你的睡眠時間,然后開始采取措施早點上床,睡得更久。這可能會解決所有的問題,但至少你會得到很好的休息,一整天都不太可能打盹。
2. Eat Healthily
吃得健康
I have had a real issue with eating healthily for years and it wasn’t until I was hospitalised a few years ago (for a condition unrelated to my eating for the sake of disclosure), that I really started to look at what I ate and how I viewed my body.
多年來,我一直對健康飲食有一個真正的問題,直到幾年前我住進了醫(yī)院(為了揭露真相,我的病情與我的飲食無關),我才真正開始關注我吃了什么,我是如何看待我的身體的。
I’m absolutely an advocate of body positivity and loving your body at any size and while I haven’t lost any huge amount of weight, eating a hell of a lot healthier improved my mood and made me feel better.
我絕對是一個身體積極性的倡導者,無論你身材怎樣,都要愛你的身體,雖然我沒有大規(guī)模失去任何體重,但吃了很多更健康的食物改善了我的心情,讓我感覺更好。
In short, it’s absolutely okay to have a pizza and a soda as a treat, but just have something healthier tomorrow.
簡而言之,吃一份披薩和一杯蘇打水是完全可以的,但是明天就吃點更健康的東西。
3. Write It All Down
都寫下來
Sometimes the best thing you can do is let it all out. Keeping things that are making you hate life all bottled up is neither helpful to getting out of that cycle nor healthy for your overall wellbeing.
有時候,你能做的最好的事情就是把它發(fā)泄出來。把那些讓你討厭生活的事情都憋在心里,既無助于擺脫這種惡性循環(huán),也不利于你的整體健康。
Grab yourself a notebook, a journal, a diary, a bit of paper, whatever, and just start writing down how you feel. As soon as you’ve done that, start thinking about what you could do in theory to stop this from happening or to stop you from feeling like this.
拿起一個筆記本,一本旅行筆記,一本日記,一張紙,隨便什么,然后開始寫下你的感受。一旦你這樣做了,就開始思考你能做些什么來阻止這種情況的發(fā)生或者阻止你產生這種感覺。
4. Get Some Fresh Air
呼吸新鮮空氣
It’s underrated and we all take it for granted, but really, getting out of your home and going for a walk can be really beneficial. It gets you outside in the (hopefully) sunshine and getting to see the whole of life as you walk around can be really grounding and calming.
它被低估了,我們都認為它是理所當然的,但實際上,走出你的家去散步是非常有益的。它讓你置身于戶外(希望如此)的陽光中,當你四處走動時,看到整個生活可以讓你平靜下來。
Believe me, if you’re stuck inside mulling over on the bad things of your life, grab a pair of sneakers and go for a walk. Plus, it’s free. Can’t say better than that, can you?
相信我,如果你陷入沉思生活中不好的事情,拿一雙運動鞋去散步。另外,它是免費的。沒有比這更好的了,不是嗎?
5. Get Some Exercise
進行一些鍛煉
This is practically a Part II of the previous step, but as someone who used to look at the gym as something people did when they were feeling particularly masochistic, I can actually say I enjoy it now.
這實際上是前一步的第二部分,但作為一個曾經把健身房看作是人們在感覺特別受虐時做的事情的人,我現在可以說我很享受。
You don’t even have to subscribe to a fancy gym—go for a run around the block with your headphones in or lift some heavy boxes to build up muscle tone.
你甚至不需要訂一個昂貴的健身房——戴著耳機繞著街區(qū)跑一圈,或者提起一些沉重的箱子來鍛煉肌肉。
Bonus: Doing all that heavy lifting of boxes or incorporating exercise into chores will make your house cleaner and look even more awesome, as well as making you look and feel better.
好處:做所有那些搬箱子的重活,或者把鍛煉納入家務勞動,會讓你的房子更干凈,看起來更棒,也會讓你看起來感覺更好。
