　　聪明人都知道，要实现自己的目标改善生活需要花费不少时间。这个事实毋庸置疑，但我们也可以做一些小的改变，来使得自己的生活在几周甚至几天之内得到改善！

　　While you can’t reach your life goals overnightyou still can take small actions that can help you live a better life almost instantly. Here is what you can do:

　　你当然不可能一夜之间实现自己的人生目标，但你绝对可以通过一些小事来使自己的生活立马得到改善。这些都是你可以做的：

　　1. Start waking up earlier :one of the main causes of stress is finding yourself out of time while being loaded with lots of tasks. When you wake up earlier you won’t only become more productive but you will also reduce the amount of stress in your life to a great extent。

　　开始早起：感到压力的主要原因之一，就是在面对大量的任务时你的时间不够用。如果早点起床，你不但会更加有效率，还会减少生活中的压力。

　　2. Get organized and write a plan:the main reasons we worry and become anxious is that we don’t trust our actions or current plans. When you write down a plan your subconsciousmind starts feeling more comfortable about your future and as a result you will reduce the amount of worrying in your life. Writing down a plan using a pen and a paper will make the plan settle in your subconscious¹ mind and as a result you will feel much safer than if you didn’t have a plan。

　　计划好自己的生活并写下来：我们担忧和焦虑的主要原因，在于我们对自己目前所做的和计划做的并不十分自信。如果你写下潜意识里觉得应该做的会让你未来更美好的计划，生活中的担忧便会减少。用笔和纸写下计划会让你潜意识觉得这个事情已成定局，这样你的心里要比你毫无计划时踏实得多。

　　3. Break a simple bad habit:I know that some habits take a lot of time to break but what about simple habits that can be broken immediately? When you break a habit that you have been doing for a long time your mood will improve and your life will become better almost instantly。

　　改掉小的坏习惯：我知道，要想改掉一些习惯需要花很长时间，但那些能够立马改掉的小习惯呢？改掉了一个长期的坏习惯，你的心态和生活都会立马得到改善。

　　4. Adjust your eating habits:do you drink enough water? Do you know that you might be feeling tired because your body needs more water? Do you know that unhealthy food can make you feel unhappy? Do you know that your mood is in many cases a reflection of your overall health? Once you start eating healthy foods and a balanced diet your health will become way better and so will your life。

　　调整你的饮食习惯：你喝的水够？你知道吗？如果身体缺水你会容易疲劳；不健康的食物会让你不开心；你的心情在很多情况下可以反映你的整体健康状况.。。一旦你开始吃健康食品，有了一个均衡的饮食安排，你的健康和生活便会更好。

　　5. Apologize to someone:did you fight with someone lately? Is there someone out there who is sad right now because of what you did to him? call that person and say sorry, not only you will make another person happy but you will also feel better as a result of the disappearance² of guilt³ from the back of your mind。

　　向某人道歉：最近和别人有争执吗？有人现在正因为你对他干的一些事而伤心难过吗？给那个人打电话，说句对不起吧，这样不但会让别人开心，你自己也会因不再愧疚而感到开心。

　　Just as you saw simple actions such as the ones mentioned can help you live a better life. Use these simple actions to improve your mood and to give yourself a mood boost so that you can pursue your bigger goals。

　　这些都是简单的小事，但足以让你的生活变得更好。做到这些事，改善你的心情，使心情舒适从而追求更高的目标。
