1. Give yourself permission to be human. When we accept emotions — such as fear, sadness, or anxiety — as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Rejecting our emotions, positive or negative, leads to frustration and unhappiness.

    2. Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning. Whether at work or at home, the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable. When this is not feasible, make sure you have happiness boosters, moments throughout the week that provide you with both pleasure and meaning.

    3. Keep in mind that happiness is mostly dependent on our state of mind, not on our status or the state of our bank account. Barring extreme circumstances, our level of well being is determined by what we choose to focus on (the full or the empty part of the glass) and by our interpretation of external events. For example, do we view failure as catastrophic, or do we see it as a learning opportunity?

    4. Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to squeeze in more and more activities into less and less time. Quantity influences quality, and we compromise on our happiness by trying to do too much.

    5. Remember the mind-body connection. What we do — or don't do — with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.

    6. Express gratitude, whenever possible. We too often take our lives for granted. Learn to appreciate and savor the wonderful things in life, from people to food, from nature to a smile.

    1. 讓自己作為一個人吧。當我們接受情感——例如恐懼、悲傷或者焦慮——的時候，自然地，我們極可能去抑製它們。拒絕我們的情感，無論是正麵的或負麵的，都會導致沮喪和不幸。

？ 

    4. 簡約化！我們一般都太忙碌了
，力圖把越來越多的活動擠進越來越少的時間裏。數量影響質量，我們由於試圖做得太多而傷害了我們的幸福。 

    5. 記住身心的聯係。我們做什麼——或者不做什麼——以及我們的身體，影響我們的精神。定期運動、充足的睡眠和健康的飲食習慣，會導致身體和精神健康。 

    6. 每(mei)當(dang)可(ke)能(neng)的(de)時(shi)候(hou)，表(biao)達(da)感(gan)謝(xie)之(zhi)情(qing)。我(wo)們(men)也(ye)經(jing)常(chang)認(ren)為(wei)我(wo)們(men)的(de)生(sheng)命(ming)是(shi)理(li)所(suo)當(dang)然(ran)的(de)事(shi)。學(xue)會(hui)欣(xin)賞(shang)和(he)享(xiang)受(shou)現(xian)實(shi)生(sheng)活(huo)中(zhong)的(de)美(mei)好(hao)事(shi)物(wu)，從(cong)人(ren)們(men)到(dao)食(shi)物(wu)
