Simple Ways to Shake off Sadness Right Now
1. Do what brings you meaning
Work on a project that demands your skills and abilities. If you have trouble coming up with one, then look for something important to work on that will help someone in need.
2. Start killing your options and get crystal clear on what you want
When you have many choices to make, you begin to make more poorer decisions. This is what’s known as decision fatigue.
The most important thing you can do to increase your level of happiness is by effectively reducing the amount of any unnecessary decisions you have to make in a day.
What you can do right now: Set up routines to help you accomplish the following:
a)Make most important decisions earlier in the day when your mind is more fresh.
b)Try to plan out your day the night before whenever possible.
c)Choose your meals in advance.
d)If you have to make an important decision but you’re hungry, eat first.
e)When you have too many choices, try to narrow it down and choose between a select few.
f)Automate your life as much as possible .
3. Create safe spaces to find yourself and beat the feeling of shame
Learning to have the courage to stay true to yourself is one of the keys to longer lasting happiness.
Start by looking yourself in the mirror each morning and telling yourself “I’m not perfect, but that’s ok”.
When you experience shame, talk to yourself like you talk to someone you love, reach out to someone you trust, and tell your story.
4. Get out of your comfort zone to rewire your brain
Think of a big goal in your life you’ve always wanted to accomplish, then create a situation that brings you out of your comfort zone that you’ll follow through with.
5. Kick materialism in the face and invest in experiences
material things usually only bring out a temporary amount of happiness at best. Happy experiences last as a happy memory forever.
What you can do right now:
a)Invest in a class you have always wanted to take.
b)Book a trip to somewhere you have always wanted to visit.
c)Get tickets to a popular show that you might like.
摆脱悲伤的简单方法
1.做能给你带来意义的事
开始一项能用到你技能和能力的项目。如果你遇到困难，那么找一些可以实质上帮助别人的重要工作来做。
2. 消除选项，弄清自己真正想要的
当你不得不作出许多选择时，你就会做出更差劲的决定。这就是所谓的决策疲劳。
你提升幸福感最重要的就是要有效减少你一天中做的任何不必要的决定。
你现在能做什么？：
设置一个日程来帮助你完成下面的事情：
a)在你头脑更清醒的时候，做最重要的决定。
b)尽量在可能的前一天晚上安排好你的一天。
c)提前选择膳食。
d)如果你必须做出一个重要的决定，但你饿了，就先吃吧。
e)当你有太多的选择时，试着把它缩小到选择几个之间。
3.创造安全空间，找到自我，战胜羞耻感。
学会有勇气坚持自己是拥有持久幸福的关键之一。
从每天早晨照镜子开始告诉自己“我不完美，但没关系”。
当你感到羞愧的时候，像对你所爱的人说话一样，对自己说话，找你信任的人，告诉他们你的故事。
4. 走出你的舒适区，改变你的大脑
想想你一生中一直想要完成的一个大目标，然后创造一个能让你走出舒适区的局面。
5. 打击物质注意，投资更多体验
物质的东西通常只会带来暂时的幸福。快乐的经历永远是幸福的回忆。
你现在能做什么？：
a)投资一个你一直想学的课程。
b)预定一个你一直想去的地方旅行。
c)买一张你可能喜欢的流行表演的票。 |
