　　生活隨筆:你幸福嗎

　　我的核心價(jià)值觀是什么?作為一個(gè)人，對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)什么是重要的?家庭、健康、信仰、工作還是其他?確保在你的生活中，你追尋了自己最在乎的東西。

　　1. Am I taking care of myself? Sometimes we get so wrapped up in taking care of others that we forget to take care of ourselves. It can be so easy to leave ourselves behind.

　　1. 我照顧好自己了嗎?有時(shí)候，我們太過(guò)于關(guān)心他人從而忘記了去照顧自己。這很容易就把自己遺忘。

　　2. Do I have too much clutter? Drowning ourselves in too many material possessions can ultimately lead to stress. Get clear on what you absolutely need and what you can get rid of.

　　2. 我的雜物是不是太多了?擁有太多的物品最終會(huì)給你帶來(lái)壓力。分清楚你肯定需要和你可以丟棄的物品。

　　3. Do I take time out of my day purely for myself? We all need a little “me time.” Set aside some time every day to just relax and do something that you enjoy, whether that is reading, meditating, watching TV, cooking, spending quality time with your loved ones, etc.

　　3. 我是否有從一天當(dāng)中能抽出時(shí)間來(lái)給自己?我們都需要一點(diǎn)“自我時(shí)間”。每天留出一些時(shí)間放松一下，做你喜歡做的事情——閱讀、冥想、看電視、烹飪、跟你愛(ài)的人共享黃金時(shí)光等等。

　　4. Am I eating healthy? The types of foods we eat can greatly affect how we feel both physically and emotionally. Eating too much junk food can lead to crankiness and a relatively low energy level, whereas eating healthy foods can lead to better moods and a more positive energy level.

　　4. 我的飲食健康嗎?我們所吃的食物種類很大程度上會(huì)影響我們?cè)谏眢w和情緒上的感覺(jué)。食用過(guò)多垃圾食品會(huì)導(dǎo)致偏執(zhí)，使人精力降低。反之，飲食健康則會(huì)使人有更好的情緒和更高漲的勁頭。

　　5. What are my core values? What is important to you as an individual? Is it family, health, spirituality, work, etc.? Make sure that you are living in alignment with what matters most to you.

　　5. 我的核心價(jià)值觀是什么?作為一個(gè)人，對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)什么是重要的?家庭、健康、信仰、工作還是其他?確保在你的生活中，你追尋了自己最在乎的東西。

　　6. Am I maintaining healthy relationships? Is there a relationship in your life that needs a little extra care and attention? Do you need to right a wrong with someone? Try to stay aware of how you’re treating the people in your life.

　　6. 我是否在維持健康的人際關(guān)系?在你的生活中，是否有一段關(guān)系需要你額外的關(guān)注?你是否需要給某人平反?在如何對(duì)待他人這個(gè)問(wèn)題上，努力保持清醒的頭腦。

　　7. Am I working too hard? Taking time to re-charge and spend time on activities that make you happy is so important. Honor your desire to pull back from work or school pressure when needed and give yourself time to breathe, even if it’s only for a few minutes at a time.

　　7. 我是否工作太辛苦了?花時(shí)間重新調(diào)整一下，花時(shí)間做令你愉快的事情是非常重要的。必要時(shí)釋放你的欲望，從工作或?qū)W習(xí)壓力中解脫出來(lái)，給自己時(shí)間去自由呼吸，即便一次只有幾分的時(shí)間。

　　8. Am I playing too hard? A lack of motivation to accomplish certain things can throw you off balance or make you feel stressed out and pressured later on. Taking breaks is very necessary, but if you take so many breaks that your productivity level drops, or you get into the habit of procrastinating too much, it might be time to balance out your schedule so that you will get a generous amount of things done and still have time for breaks and leisure.

　　8. 我是否玩兒得太high了?缺乏實(shí)現(xiàn)某些事情的動(dòng)機(jī)會(huì)讓你失去平衡或者稍后會(huì)讓你感到筋疲力盡，很有壓力。休息一下是非常有必要的，但是如果你休息得過(guò)了頭從而使生產(chǎn)力降低，或者你養(yǎng)成了太過(guò)拖拉的習(xí)慣，那么或許就需要時(shí)間來(lái)平衡你的時(shí)間安排，以便你可以完成大量的事情而仍有時(shí)間休息娛樂(lè)。

　　9. Am I spending too much? Overspending can lead to stress, clutter, and financial complications. It can also turn into a nasty habit over time. Saving money is an excellent practice and you will more than likely be glad you did in case of an emergency.

　　9. 我花錢太多了嗎?過(guò)度消費(fèi)會(huì)導(dǎo)致壓力、混亂以及財(cái)政并發(fā)癥。這也可能會(huì)隨著時(shí)間的流逝變?yōu)橐环N危險(xiǎn)的習(xí)慣。儲(chǔ)蓄是一個(gè)非常棒的辦法，萬(wàn)一遇到緊急情況，你極有可能為你之前的儲(chǔ)蓄而感到欣慰。

　　10. Am I worrying about the future? Worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet causes stress and anxiety. Focus on the moment in front of you and realize that it is all that exists.

　　10. 我是否在擔(dān)憂未來(lái)?擔(dān)憂某些并未發(fā)生的事情會(huì)導(dǎo)致壓力和焦慮。專注于當(dāng)下，了解到這就是目前所存在的一切。

　　11. Am I dwelling on the past? It is very tempting and almost involuntary to look back on the past and obsess over something we regret or something we miss. Learn to let go and only focus on what’s happening right now, and on the choices you will make today.

　　11. 我是否徘徊過(guò)去?回顧過(guò)去，沉迷于我們遺憾或者錯(cuò)過(guò)的事情是非常誘人和幾乎令人不由自主的。學(xué)會(huì)放手，只專注于當(dāng)前發(fā)生的事和你今日將要面臨的選擇吧。

　　12. Is there something I am clinging to? We don’t always realize when we’re clinging to something harmful when it feels safe and familiar, whether it is an unfulfilling job, an unhealthy relationship, or a stagnant way of life. Recognize if you are clinging to something that isn’t serving you and work on taking small steps towards change and release.

　　12. 是否有什么事情我一直放不下?我們不會(huì)總是能意識(shí)到我們?cè)诤螘r(shí)抓住有害但感覺(jué)安全熟悉的事情不放手，不論是一份不稱心的工作，還是一段不健康的關(guān)系或者一種停滯不前的生活方式。看看你是否執(zhí)著于對(duì)你沒(méi)用的事情，想出小措施來(lái)改變和解脫吧。
