双语阅读——10种小改变 60秒内点亮心情

1. Sit up straight.
坐直
Many people who spend a lot of time at the computer likely don’t sit properly. There’s a tendency to slouch, stoop and sit cross-legged. Is there a correct way to sit? You bet. Choose a comfy chair, preferably one with arm rests. Sit with your butt to the back of the seat, shoulders back and feet flat on the floor about hip distance apart. Maintaining good posture can help you avoid injury and promote proper bone alignment. When walking tall with good posture you both look and feel more confident, fit and pulled together.
很多电脑狂们在电脑前的坐姿都不正确，这样下去可能会导致没精打采、驼背以及盘腿坐。那么到底有没有正确的坐姿呢？当然有。选一个舒服的椅子，带把手的那种。把臀部坐到椅子的最里面，肩膀向后靠，两脚分开平放在地面上，距离为你髋关节的距离。保持好的坐姿能使你避免受伤，且促进骨骼直挺。而用正确的姿势走路，你会看起来也会感觉充满自信。赶紧试试吧。
2. Do something you love.
做你喜欢的事情
Reduce stress by doing something you love. Read an article, flip through a magazine, call a friend, book a massage. It doesn’t matter what it is just make sure it’s something you enjoy and not something you feel you have to do.
做你喜欢的事情来缓解压力。读一篇文章，浏览一本杂志，给朋友打个电话，预约个按摩。做什么并不重要，重要的是这是你喜欢的事情，而不是你不得不做的事。
3. Eat a piece of fruit.
吃一块水果
There’s something about biting into an apple, peeling a banana or the scent of an orange that just makes you feel good. Fruit is refreshing, good for you and something we typically don’t get enough of. Next time you go shopping load up on “grab and go” fruits. Although fresh is better, dried can be a great alternative when you’re looking for something a bit different.
有时候咬一口苹果，剥香蕉皮或者仅仅是橘子的香味都能够让你心情舒畅。水果给人清新的感觉，还能补充你缺少的营养。下次购物别忘了买点水果回来哦。果干也许比不上新鲜水果，但也不失为一个好选择，可以让你有不同的感觉。
4. Laugh.
大笑
Find a video of your favorite comedian or sitcom or maybe it’s a picture of a friend or your kids that always makes you laugh. Laughing feels good, it gets you smiling and it allows you to not take things so seriously, if only for that moment.
找一个你最爱的喜剧演员的电影或情景喜剧，或者那些你朋友或孩子的能让你发笑的照片。大笑会让你感觉很好，会让你笑对一切，神经放松，哪怕只是一小会。

5. Drink.
喝水
Water is vital to our well-being and is another thing we typically don’t get enough of. Drinking a tall glass of water helps you feel fuller longer, curbs your desire to eat when you’re not particularly hungry just bored and it’s great for your skin. Add a twist of lemon or lime to add a bit of natural flavor.
水对人来说至关重要，也是我们经常会缺少的东西之一。喝一大杯水能让你不那么容易饿，在你不是很饿时喝水能减少吃东西的欲望，同时对皮肤也很有好处。加一点柠檬或酸橙可以给你带来清新口味。
6. Get outside.
出去走走
There is something about nature and the expanse of space that can rejuvenate the mind and body. Look around you and take it all in. The birds, the people, the blueness of the sky, the clouds floating along, the smell of the fresh air, the warmth of the sun on your cheeks. Take a minute to just stand outside where ever you are and just soak it all in.
这可以增加你和自然的接触机会，扩大伸展空间，从而为身心注入新的活力。看看你周围，认真感受一下。小鸟、人群、蓝天、漂浮的白云、新鲜空气，还有落在你脸颊上的阳光。无论在哪，花一分钟站在外面，好好感受一下。
7. Breathe.
呼吸
Deeply. Breathing can help you relax, focus and slow down. Breathing can help you put things in perspective release tension that builds up throughout the day. Take a minute and breathe deeply. Clear your mind and just breathe.
深深的呼吸能让你放松，更集中并且不再急躁。呼吸能帮你把一天之内的事情有条不紊安排下去。花一分钟的时间深呼吸，什么都不要想。
8. Give.
给予
Do something for someone else. It doesn’t have to be anything big, elaborate or a year in the planning it just has to be sincere. Ask your co-worker in the next cubical over if they would like a coffee, pay the toll for the person in the car behind you, hold the door for someone, give a hug, smile.
为别人做些什么吧。不一定是什么你精心策划了一年的大事，只要真诚就好。问问你邻桌的同事们需不需要来杯咖啡，为你后面的那辆车交一下停车费，为别人开一下门，给别人一个拥抱，或是微笑。

9. Beautify your surroundings.
改善周围的环境
While you’re walking your dog, walking to your car, waiting for the bus or riding your bike take a moment and beautify where you are. Pick up a piece of garbage or 10 or 20, pull a weed or hammer in a nail. Every little bit helps but having the “I didn’t do it so I’m not picking it up” mind set doesn’t. Do your part and take pride in your neighborhood or work area.
当你遛狗、走向自己的车、等公交车或骑自行车时，花点时间美化一下你周围的环境吧。捡一下周围的垃圾，除除野草或钉颗钉子。每件小事都有意义，千万别抱着"又不是我扔的，凭什么我捡“这样的想法，做好你的责任，为你的小区和工作环境感到骄傲。
10. Stretch.
舒展身体
Sitting for too long can cause joint and muscle pain, headaches and other aches and pains. A few times throughout the day stand up stretch out your arms, your back, your legs, and your neck. Be gentle and don’t over do it. Stretching should feel great and renew your energy. If you’d love to but can never remember set up a reminder in your calendar or set a timer for an hour. You’ll be glad you did.
坐得太久会导致关节以及肌肉疼痛、头疼和其他的疼痛。一天之内站起来几次伸展一下你的手臂、背部、腿和脖子吧。动作轻柔点，不要过度伸展。伸展能让你感觉重获能量。如果你喜欢伸展却经常忘了，那就在日历里设个备忘录或每小时定个闹钟。你以后肯定会感激自己的。
