Even the most optimistic people can use a mood boost every once in awhile. Taking an extra moment for yourself will make your day brighter and give you a healthier outlook on life. Here are ten simple ways you can bring a little happiness into your life right now:

就算是最乐观豁达的人也需要有一套情绪激励的方法。花点时间思考会让你的生活更美好，也让你对生活有一个更积极的观望。运用这里10个简单方法，你就可以为你的生活增加一些快乐。

1.Go for a walk

散步

Grab your dog, best friend, or your significant other and head out on a brisk walk. Just a little bit of exercise can boost your mood and give you a fresh perspective on problems that have been bothering you. Think walks are boring? Try walking to a place that seems exciting to you. Take a trip to the mall and walk a few laps around this season’s sales, or even walk to get some frozen yogurt. Make it a fun trip and you’ll surely make it part of your routine.

牵上狗，叫上最好的朋友或其他重要的人，到户外来一次轻快的散步。只是一点点锻炼就能让你的情绪高昂起来，同时也会让你用新的视角来看待那些让你烦闷不堪的问题。觉得散步无聊？试着去你感兴趣的地方散步看看。在购物商场里逛一逛，在换季甩卖时晃荡上几圈，更可以步行去买一些冰冻酸奶。在享受出游的快乐时，你自然会将它列为你日常生活的一部分。

2. Give it a rest

休息一下

DVR late-night television and head to bed earlier. Increasing your amount of sleep can reduce your stress level and leave you feeling energized¹ to tackle your day when you wake up.

用数字录像机录下晚间节目，早点上床睡觉。增加睡眠时间可以降低你的紧张感，而当你一觉醒来时更是感觉到精力充沛。

3. Thank someone

感谢一些人

Acknowledge something that someone has done for you and send a note or a small bouquet² of flowers. You’ll put a smile on their face and yours.

认可别人为自己做过的事情，向TA寄一张感谢的便条或一束鲜花。在带给他们快乐的同时，你也给自己带来了一份快乐。

4. Compliment a stranger

称赞陌生人

Love her hair color? Dying to know where he got that awesome³ hat? Tell someone that you like something that they have and you’re guaranteed to brighten their day. Seeing good things in others will help you start to see good things in yourself. Who knows, you may get an unexpected compliment.

喜欢她头发的颜色？想知道他在哪儿买到这么棒的帽子？告诉TA你喜欢TA拥有的那样东西，可以肯定的是，这一天对象会非常开心。看到别人的长处，会帮你开始关注你自己的长处。说不定你也会收到意想不到的赞扬。

5. Plan a vacation

计划度假

Getting bogged⁴ down with our daily routines can send us into a rut, causing us to look at things negatively. Booking a trip near or far away will give you something to look forward to, and the break from your normal routine will help you to see your life a little more clearly.

当我们受限于日常生活的安排，继而陷入了一种精神萎靡的状态时，我们在看待问题时就产生了消极的态度。计划一次出行，不管距离是近还是远，都会让你心生期盼，而这段从日常生活中腾出的休息会助你更看清你的生活。

6. Buy something silly

买一些幼稚的傻东西

After all, laughter is the best medicine. Pick up something that makes you laugh like a funny picture, book, magazine, or a DVD of your favorite stand-up. You could even plan a date night out to a comedy club. Giving yourself time to laugh boosts feel-good endorphins.

笑声才是最好的良药。选一些让你开怀大笑的东西，比如搞笑的图片、书、杂志或是你最喜欢的相声光碟。你甚至可以计划一个晚上去参加喜剧俱乐部。让自己放声大笑，这样体内会释放出让你感觉良好的内啡肽。

7. Get a chair massage⁵

享受一下按摩

Ten minutes of relaxation⁶ can do wonders. Instead of eating lunch at your desk, take a walk to the local nail salon⁷ for a short chair massage. Your neck and back will thank you and you’ll feel relaxed the rest of the day.

十分钟的休息有很大功效。不要再在办公桌上用餐了，走几步路去一家美甲店里享受一下靠椅按摩吧。你的脖子和后背会感谢你的，在接下来的一天时间里你也会感觉很放松。

8. Wear your favorite color

穿上你最喜欢的颜色

Have a passion for red? Love cool blues⁸? Wear your favorite color, the one that brings out your beautiful eyes, and you’ll walk a little taller and smile throughout the day.

热衷红色？喜欢蓝色系？穿上你最喜欢的颜色，能衬托出你美丽双眸的颜色，当你走路时你会感觉自己长高了，还能保持一整天的微笑。

9. Tackle a problem

处理问题

Boost your confidence by completing a particularly hard crossword⁹ or Sudoku puzzle. Maximizing your brain power and doing something challenging will help you to have a more confident outlook on life.

要增加自信，就完成一项特别难的填字游戏或是数独。挖掘脑力和做些有挑战系数的事会让你对生活更有信心。

10. Model behavior

模范的快乐生活

Take a photo of yourself doing something you enjoy, like roller skating, skiing, swimming, playing an instrument, or being with friends and family. Place the picture on your desk to remind yourself that you lead an amazing life and have lots to be happy about.

当你在享受一件事带给你的快乐时，把这样快乐的你拍下来，比如溜冰、滑雪、游泳、演奏乐器或是和朋友家人一起时。把照片放在书桌上，以此提醒自己：我的生活精彩纷呈，还有很多值得高兴的事。
