译文:15项简单的活动提升你的生活质量

译者:Мария-Маша  所属联盟:英语译者联盟  时间:2008-05-16

 运动

运动是一种同时可以改善你的生理和心理的活动。 如果你不想为支付健身俱乐部会费,个人教练或者昂贵的家庭健身器材而负债的话,试试这些运动来简单达到全身的锻炼:

* 双手环抱

* 做鬼脸

* 下蹲

你可以轻易的从网上找到一对简单的锻炼器材或锻炼方法。比如说,没有哑铃吗? 用装满汤的易拉罐,或者往废弃的牛奶盒子里灌满水。

去图书馆

图书馆里有很大的潜在资源——而且是免费的! 图书馆里有书,CD, 磁带,DVD 和免费的电脑。 找些书来读是个很好的方法来充实自己,还可以强化你的阅读技巧。 你们当地的图书馆蕴藏着丰富的知识知识等待被挖掘!

思考

这是每一个要改善生活质量的人都应该做的。 思考通常是在一种放松的状态下进行,但却一样可以在静静的思索中悟出生活的真谛。 如果你不打算想任何事情,就坐在那里吸气、呼气——也会对你享受生活有帮助的。 有时候什么都不想和脑子里充满了想法相比一样有效甚至更好。

散步

散步是一种很有效的减压方式。 即使你只是围着大楼走一圈,也可以对你的心情有帮助。 你可以去一个你想去的地方,也可以漫无目的走。而后者往往可以更放松。

微笑

只是做个微笑的样子也可以让你的心情更好些。 无论你的生活进展如何,你都可以在浅浅一笑之后轻松少许。

学会放弃

通常,我们都有太多的东西,真是太多了。 决定哪些是你不再需要的,甩掉它,不管是捐给慈善机构还是送给朋友。

做义工

做义工不仅仅是改善你的生活质量,还可以帮助他人。 做义工的途径有很多,你可以加入一个正规的组织或你支持的一个团队,或者就是停留在某个地方贡献出你几个小时的时间。 比如,去人道协会帮忙遛狗或者报名帮助流浪人收容所准备一顿饭都是很好的例子。

组织规划

规划你的生活空间——你的书桌,办公室,卧室,背包,公文包,厨房,浴室,盥洗室等等。 通过保持物品整齐来保障你的生活有序。 一个杂乱无章的房子会使你在一天的劳累后回到家里有糟糕的心情,所以找点时间来保持东西整洁。

骑单车

骑单车不仅是一种很好的锻炼方式,还可以省汽油钱。骑单车短途旅行可以为你省下一笔不小的费用, 还可以摆脱堵车的烦恼。

拥抱他人

一个简单的拥抱可以马上让你觉得生活更加美好。我们生活在一个避免和伙伴们接触的时代,但一个拥抱可以立刻让你从孤单中解脱出来而情绪高涨。 触摸是一件好事。

瑜伽

在户外或者自己家里宽敞的地方练瑜伽。 如果你不知道怎么练瑜伽,也不需要报昂贵的瑜伽课程。 你们当地的图书馆会有相关书籍,DVD等教你入门知识。 一期瑜伽课程后可以改善你肌体的承受力,柔韧性,你的注意力,还可以让你精神放松,心态平和,身心得到满足。

不要拖拖拉拉——坚持到底!

做一些你已经搁置了一段时间的事情。 当人做完什么事情通常会有满足感,所以完成搁置了一段时间的事情会让你感觉不错。正如一些明智的人所说的:“今日事,今日毕。”

出去走走

从室内出来呼吸一下新鲜空气可以让你变得积极。 特别是在晴朗的日子里,出去读读书,看看云,来一杯咖啡,或者就是那麽坐着,享受户外的一切。 即便是在雨天,你也可以享受时光——拽上一个朋友,家人或者爱人,把烦恼都甩进风里,到雨中奔跑,跳舞。

挑战大脑

数字游戏,逻辑推理题和填词游戏是开发大脑的很好方式。你也可以在完成后得到满足感。

写作

开始一段旅程并写下感想。 有时,把想法写下来可以让你更清楚的分析他们,减少焦虑。

如果你觉得灵感突现,写一首诗或者一篇小短文,或者就是信笔涂鸦。 素描或绘画也是一种很好的形式。 即使你没有什么艺术天分,自己创作的东西还是会感觉不错。 写作,素描,绘画可以让人放松,还可以让你在创作出自己喜欢的东西后很有成就感。

原文:15 Free Activities That Will Improve Your Life

发现者:lalaabc  来源:http://www.socyberty.com 发布时间:2008-05-15 类型:转载
  • Exercise

  • Exercise is a way to improve yourself both mentally and physically. If you don't want to cough up the money for a gym membership, personal trainer, or expensive in-home weight set, try this simple full-body workout by performing these exercises:

    * Push ups
    * Crunches
    * Squats

    You can find a plethora of free workouts and workout tips online. For instance, don't have dumbbells? Use cans of soup, or a few old milk cartons filled with water.

  • Go to the Library

    The library is a great resource that is often under utilized - and its free! The library has books, CDs, tapes, DVDs, and free access to computers. Picking up a book is a great way to entertain yourself and also tune up your reading skills. Your local library holds a vast amount of knowledge just waiting to be acquired!
  • Meditate

    This is one thing that everyone should do to improve his or her quality of life. Meditation is often thought of as relaxation, which it is, but one can also gain insight into their lives by just sitting quietly and thinking. If you don't want to think about anything, just sit there silently and count your breaths - this will help you immensely as well. Sometimes thinking about nothing can accomplish as much or more than having your mind full of thoughts.
  • Take a Walk

    A walk can be a great way to relieve stress. Even if you are just going once around the block, taking a walk does wonders for your mood. You can walk to a place you need to go, or just walk with no destination in mind. The latter is often more relaxing.
  • Smile

    Just the act of smiling will put you in a better mood. No matter what is going on in your life, you will feel at least a little better just by letting yourself smile.
  • Give Something Away

    Generally, we all have too much stuff, and it can be overwhelming. Decide what you don't need anymore, and give it away either to charity or a friend.
  • Volunteer

    Volunteering doesn't only improve your life, but also the lives of others. There are lots of ways to volunteer, you could do so on a regular basis with an organization or group you support, or simply stop into a place and donate a few hours of your time. Great examples of this are going in to the humane society to walk the dogs or signing up to help serve a meal at a homeless shelter.
  • Organize

    Organize your living space - your desk, office, room, backpack, briefcase, kitchen, bathroom, closet, etc. Keeping things in order helps keep your life in order. A chaotic house leads to a chaotic mood when coming home at the end of the day, so take the extra time to keep things organized.
  • Ride Your Bike

    Not only is this good exercise, but with the price of gasoline, taking your bike for those short trips can end up saving you a good deal of money. Riding a bike is also much less stressful than driving through traffic.
  • Hug Someone

    Just hugging someone can immediately make your life better. We live in an age where contact with fellow humans is often avoided, but giving/getting a hug can instantly boost your mood by releasing good endorphins. Touch is a good thing.
  • Yoga

    Practice yoga outdoors or in a large space in your own home. If you don't know how to do yoga, you don't need to sign up for an expensive class. Your local library should have books on yoga, or even DVDs to get you started. Yoga builds strength, flexibility, mental alertness, and also calms the mind, leaving you relaxed and fulfilled after a session.
  • Stop Procrastinating - Finish Something!

    Do something you have been putting off for a while. It always feels good to get something over with, and finishing something you have been putting off is usually a good idea in general. As many wise people have said, “don't put off till tomorrow what you could do today.”
  • Go Outside

    Just taking a break from being in doors can change your mood in a positive way. Especially if it is a nice day out, go outside and read a book, watch the clouds, have a cup of tea, or just sit and enjoy being outside. Even if its raining you can have a good time - grab a friend, family member, or loved one, throw your inhibitions to the wind and go run around and dance in the rain!
  • Challenge Your Brain

    Sudoku, logic puzzles, and crossword puzzles can be great ways to stimulate your brain. You also feel satisfied when completing them.
  • Write

    Start journaling and write down your thoughts. Sometimes, getting your thoughts down on paper lets you analyze them more clearly, and worry about them less. If you are feeling creative, write a poem, or a short story, or just put your pen to paper and see what comes out. Drawing and painting can also be a great outlet. Even if you aren't a spectacular artist, it feels good to doodle or create something of your own. Writing, drawing, and painting can be relaxing, and also give you a sense of accomplishment when you create something you really like.
