Don't try and be
happy - it will only make you sad.
1.
不要试图去快乐，因为努力快乐只会让你悲伤。
Desperately
trying
to
keep
a
smile
on
your
face
will
only
make
your
depression
worse,
a
new
study
suggests.
一项新的研究表明，拼命保持微笑只会让你的抑郁更严重。
Feeling content has become the sole
goal for many in recent years, but embracing your
sadness
may be more beneficial.
近年来，感到满足已成为许多人的唯一目标，但拥抱悲伤可能更有益。
University of Melbourne researchers
said that society's downright shunning of being
sad could be
harmful for sufferers of
the blues.
墨尔本大学的研究人员称，社会对悲伤的完全回避可能对忧郁患
者有害。
Dr. Brock Bastian, a
psychologist behind the study, said: 'Depression
rates are higher in countries
that
place a premium on happiness.'
参与这项研究的心
理学家布鲁克·巴斯蒂安博士说
:
“在那些重视幸福的国家，抑
郁症发病
率更高。”
'Rather
than being the by-product of a life well-lived,
feeling happy has become a goal in itself.
This reinforces the message that we
should aim to maximize our positive emotions and
avoid our
negative ones.
快乐不
再是美好生活的副产品，
它本身就是一个目标。
这强化了这样一
个信息，
即我们应该
以最大化积极情绪为目标，避免消极情绪。
Society needs to change its
attitude on depression if the disorder is to be
tackled effectively, Dr.
Bastian
hinted.
巴斯蒂安博士暗示，如果想要有效地治疗抑郁症，社会需要改变对抑郁
症的态度。
He
added
that
people
have
become
so
used
to
not
showing
signs
of
vulnerability
due
to
social
media
being used to celebrate achievements.
他
补充说，由于社交媒体被用来庆祝成就，人们已经习惯于不表现出脆弱的迹象。
For
the
study
published
in
the
journal
Depression
and
Anxiety,
the
researchers
assessed
112
depressed patients. Each
volunteer was asked to rate their symptoms of the
blues and how much
pressure they faced
to be happy. They were tracked over a period of
one month.

112

2. Sometimes,
giving up doesn't have to be a bad thing
2.
有时候，放弃不一定是件坏事
When
you
try
too
hard
but
you
don't
succeed;
when
despite
all
your
efforts
you
don't
get
the
results
you need, give up and move on. Drop it like it's
hot, and run in the opposite direction as
fast as you can.
当你竭尽全力却没有成功
;
当你付出了所有的努力却没有得到你想要的结果时，放弃吧，
继
续前进。把它像热的那样扔下去，然后以最快的速度朝相反的方向跑。
Baffled? What is wrong with giving
up?
困惑吗
?
放弃有什么错
?
Oh yes, we all have been
trained and conditioned to work hard to achieve
our dreams, and that is a
good thing. <
/p>
哦，是的，我们都被训练和训练去努力实现我们的梦想，这是一件好事。
< br>
The problem arises when all these
inspirational quotes start confusing us.
当所有这些励志名言开始让我们困惑时，问题就出现了。
These messages tell people not to give
up, but they don't tell you that it should only
apply to your
true dreams.
这
些信息告诉人们不要放弃，但它们并没有告诉你这只适用于你真正的梦想。
They tell one to
toward what
you really want in life and one should never quit
at what they think to be their life's
purpose.
他们告诉一个人
“
尝试再尝试”
，直到他们成功，但那份努力应该只放在你真正想要的生活
上，一个人不应该放弃他们认为是他们生活的目的。
The rest is all just there to confuse
you, distract you, give you a headache, heartache
and depress
you, so don't let it.
其余的都是为了迷惑你，分散你的注意力，让你头疼，让你心痛，让你沮丧，所以不要让它
发生。
If you suck at
piano and you know it's because you don't even
like the instrument, give it up.
如果你钢琴弹
得不好，你知道那是因为你不喜欢钢琴，那就放弃吧。
If
no matter how hard you study you can hardly score
an above average grade, don't worry, your
talent lies somewhere else. Not
everybody is an A-student.
如果无论你多么努力学习，
你都很难得到高于平均水平的分数，
不要担心，
你的天赋在其他
地方。不是每个人都是优等生。
If you always end up burning the
chocolate cake you are trying to bake, maybe it is
because you
were born to buy one and
not make one. Quit baking.
如果你总是把要烤的巧克力
蛋糕烤糊，
那可能是因为你生来就是买蛋糕的，
而不是做蛋糕的
。
退出烘烤。
Are you
the worst performer on your sales team, and even
the interns are better than you are? It's
because you were not supposed to be a
sales person, you were meant to be a DJ.
你是销售团队中表现最差的吗
?
即使是实习生也比你强。因
为你不应该是一个销售人员，你
应该是一个
DJ
。
Try
to
recognize
your
talent,
your
ability
and
your
skills.
Find
out
what
you
are
good
at,
what
makes you happy and then work on it.
试着认可你的天赋、能力和技能。找出你擅长什么，什么让你快乐，然后努力去做。
If
you do, no one
would have to tell
you or inspire
you to not give up because when you
love
something, you keep trying until
you get it right and the enthusiasm flows from
within.
如果你这样做了，
没有人会告诉你或鼓励你不
要放弃，
因为当你喜欢某件事的时候，
你会一
< br>直努力，直到你做对了，热情就会从内心涌起。
Don't worry about what people will say
or think, it's your life, you have to live it and
you have to
be your own boss.
不要担心别人会怎么说或怎么想，这是你的生活，你必须活下去，你必须做自己的老板。
3. Taking pictures and sharing them

day and
sharing it online improves your
well-being.

《健康》
(Health)
杂志上的一项新研究发现，

花点时间思考是
非常有益的，”一名
参与者告诉英国兰开斯特大学

purpose,
and
planning
to
take
them
was
a
motivational force, the researchers
say.
研究人员说，看照片会给受试者一种使命感，计划拍摄照片是一种激励力量。

4. Are you tired every day?
Do three little things to make a difference in
your life
4.
你每天都累吗
?
做三件小事来改变你的生活
Most of us feel exhausted after working
for at least eight hours a day, five days a week.
When we
get home, we watch at least two
episodes on Netflix because it's well-deserved and
the only time
we get to
我们大多
数人在每天至少工作八小时，
每周工作五天之后都会感到疲惫。
回家后，
我们至少
会在
Netflix
上看两集，因为这是我们应得的，也是我们睡觉前唯一能“放松”的时间。
Wake up and repeat. And repeat
and repeat and repeat. No wonder you feel tired.
醒来并重复。重复，重复，再重复。难怪你觉得累。
So how do you get out of this vicious
cycle? How do you restart your life? Hint: NOT by
adding
something new to your life. But
by making sure your body is ready and able to
actually handle
new hobbies.
那么，如何才能摆脱这种恶性循环呢
?
如何重新开始你的生活
?
提示
:
不要
给你的生活添加新
东西。但是要确保你的身体已经准备好并且能够处理新的爱好。
The first 3 things to check to
make sure you have right:
前三件事要检查，以确保你是正确的
:
1. YOUR MINDSET
1.
你的思维方式
man,
another
one of
these
self-improvement
things.
I
hope
I
can
do
it,
but
I've
tried
these
things before, and I
just never stick with it.
天啊，
又是一件自我提升的事。
我希望我能做到，
但我以前也试过，<
/p>
只是从来没有坚持过。
”
This was something I used to say to
myself every time I try to start something new for
myself.
There's a fear-driven side of
your brain which tells you,
每当我尝试为自己开创新
事物时，
我总是这样对自己说。
你大脑中受恐惧驱使的那一面会
告
诉你，“你不能这么做。”
What
can
you
do?
Well,
the
tip
here
is
to
talk
to
yourself
like
you're
talking
to
a
friend,
or
a
coworker, or a child who
is being told by a bully they can't do something
they want to try. So the
next time you
try something new, be kind to yourself like you
would be kind to others. You are
your
own worst critic. But you can also be your staunch
defender. Stand up for yourself against
yourself.
你能做什么
?<
/p>
嗯，这里的建议是，像对朋友、同事或被恶霸告知不能做自己想做的事情的孩
子那样对自己说话。
所以下次你尝试新事物时，善待自己，就像善待他人一样
。你是自己最
大的批评家。但你也可以成为自己坚定的捍卫者。站起来反对你自己。
2. YOUR SLEEP
2.
你的睡眠
Without
sufficient
sleep,
we're
basically
going
through
the
day
drunk.
This
means
tiredness,
difficulty to respond quickly and
smartly to anything that comes up.
没有充足
的睡眠，
我们基本上是在醉酒中度过一天。
这意味着你会感到疲
劳，
很难对任何事
情做出快速而明智的反应。
< br>
The sleeping hours needed for an
average adult ranges from 7 to 9 hours. Just keep
in mind that
your body is not wired in
the same way your computer is. You cannot have
instantaneous change.
Let yourself have
at least 1 to 2 weeks minimum to start sleeping a
little earlier regularly. And this
sort
of timeline is meant for small changes, like 15
minutes to 30 minutes earlier than your current
sleeping schedule.
成年人的平均睡眠时
间为
7
至
9
小
时。
只要记住，
你的身体不像你的电脑那样连接。
你不可
能有瞬间的改变。
让自己至少有一到两周的时
间来开始规律地早睡。
这种时间安排意味着小
的改变，比如比你
现在的睡眠时间提前
15
到
30
分钟。
But this is an
absolutely must. Without sleep, your body and mind
is weak, slow, and definitely
not
energetic enough to accommodate any new activities
you want to do.
但这是绝对必须的。
没有睡
眠，
你的身心就会变得虚弱、
迟钝，而且绝对没有足够的精力来
适应你想做的任何新活动。
3.
YOUR FOOD
3.
你的食物
If you are looking at what you eat for
the reason to feel energized, then the general
rules are:
如果你是为了感觉精力充沛而吃东西，那么一般的规则是
:
1) Eat when you're hungry. Don't eat
when you're not.
饿的时候再吃。不吃东西的时候就不要吃。
2) Be mindful when you eat. Chew at
least 20 times. Let yourself taste and digest your
food.
吃东西的时候要小心。至少咀嚼
20
次。让自己品尝和消化食物。
3) Don't
do three things at once when you're eating. Your
body wasn't made for that.
吃饭的时候不要同时做三件事。你的身体不是为此而生的。
4) Preferably, eat
最好吃“真正的”食物。吃曾祖母认为是食物的食物。
Don't let your days roll by in the
continual humdrum. Start by re-examining these key
habits in
your life already to build a
body that can start doing things you want.
不要让你的日子在无休止的无聊中度过。
从重新审视你生活中的这些关键习惯开
始，
建立一
个可以开始做你想做的事情的身体。
5. Control
yourself, modest and confident to moderate
5.
克制自己，谦虚而自信地适度
Because I was reading other
articles and that thought came to mind. I've even
thought that about
books.
Famous books. Brilliant books.
< br>“这些甚至都没有那么好。我觉得我可以做得更好。”这也是我开始写作的原因之一。
因为
我在阅读其他文章的时候，这个想法就出现了。我甚至对书也有这样的想法。著
名的书籍。
聪明的书。
Who
am I to think that
我凭什么这么想
That's my
ego.
这是我的自我。
And
I'm grateful for it.
我很感激。
Because I never would've started
writing without it. I never would've found
something I love to do
without it. I
never would've been able to quit my 9-5 without
it.
因为如果没有它，我根本不会开始写作。
如果没有它，
我永远也找不到我喜欢做的事情。如
果没有它，我不可能放弃我的朝九晚五。
But, sometimes I get too caught
up in it. I'll let other people's accomplishments
get inside me and
make me feel bad. I
become jealous. I become resentful.
但是，
有时候我太沉迷其中了。
我会让别人的成就进入我的内心，
让我感觉糟糕。
我变得嫉
妒。我变得愤怒。
I let myself be tricked
into think I'm not good enough, or doing enough,
or being enough. That's
when my ego
becomes unhelpful.
我让自己被欺骗，认为自己不够好，
或者做得不够好，或者不够好。那就是我的自我变得毫
无用处的时候。<
/p>
I don't think having an ego
is good or bad.
我不认为自负是好是坏。
I think it's good and bad.
我认为它有好有坏。
