Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times

Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years.

Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts

of happiness throughout the day.

61. ________

“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that

just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and effects your self

esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”

Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are

difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times

are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids,

adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”

62. ________

Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing

good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical,

everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example,

Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so

offer to give a friend a ride.”

63. ________

You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness.

Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can

weighh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus

on caring for your loved ones.

“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects

of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries

like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t

care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on

them.”

64. ________

“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy

people all have goals they care about.”

Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance

you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times.

Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt

and change!

“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says

Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”

65. ________

When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping

in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important

things to worry about right now than looking good.”

But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC. It will go a

long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”

Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”

You don't need an expert to tell your that relationships are critical to happiness. Not

being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid's needs can weigh

down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on

bringing up your loved ones.

迷 失   朱宏

何玲在幸福街上穿过的时候就像一只孔雀,那样从容和骄傲。

尽管每天早上出门的时候幸福街还处在昏睡中,没有多少人欣赏她晨风中的倩影,何玲还是要把自己仔细地打扮一番,那是为她九点钟以后开始的工作而打扮的。

何玲熟悉那几盏昏昏欲睡的路灯,尽管幸福街边上的岔路纵横交织,就像电影里高家庄的地道,但在路灯的指引下何玲总能顺利地走出幸福街。向左转,百米之外有公交站牌,何玲在那里乘车前往公司。在车上,何玲可以拥抱着自己的皮包小睡一会儿,然后在到达目的地的前一站准时醒来。此时,车流让大街变成了一条河,何玲紧三慢四地趟过这条河,公司就到了。

一天的工作结束后,何玲顺着原路返回,到达幸福街的时候已经华灯齐放,幸福街的夜生活开始了。何玲接受着在路两边大排挡吃饭喝酒的男人们的注目礼,随脚步摆动的长发把小伙子们的目光都扫乱了。过了天香烩面馆,再过了左邻右舍超市,左转就看到了老四烧烤的灯箱。躲过那呛人的浓烟,再七拐八绕地经过几个店铺,何玲就停在一个馒头摊前,拎上一兜子馒头,转过身就进了楼洞,然后钻进租住的房子里。

工作日里天天如此。何玲就这么从容地在幸福街上走了一个月了。何玲的生活是这么单调,到了休息日也绝不像其他女孩那样逛街,而是睡个天昏地暗。

但是有一天,何玲的生活秩序被打乱了。

那天下午何玲刚刚处理完一份文字材料,楼下的保安忽然打电话来,说何玲的母亲来了。本来何玲的精神是没有光彩的,那一份份文书就像海绵吸干了她的快乐,这会儿听见母亲来了,精神头就仿佛沐浴过,滋润且饱满了起来。

告了假,乘电梯下楼。见母亲已经在大堂等着,何玲唤了一声“妈”,香瓜似的脆甜。

何玲在母亲的脸上亲了一口。母亲说,这死丫头,已经不是学生了呀,还这么不稳重。何玲说,稳重,稳重,我平时可稳重了。

她们登上了公交车,何玲说,今天晚上又能有妈睡在一起了。

一个多小时以后,幸福街到了。何玲拎着行李在前面带路,此时她的步态不再像一只孔雀,却如小鸟那样蹦蹦跳跳。母亲埋怨道,怎么住得这么远,上班多不方便。何玲说,城郊这些地方房租便宜呗。何玲说完这句话就突然止住了脚步,实在不知道该往哪条岔街里拐了。她领着母亲摸索了几次,始终找不到正确的方向。她凑向一个商铺的老板,问自己的住处。老板诧异地说,我怎么会知道呢。何玲索性把母亲安置在商铺的凳子上休息,自己则焦急地四处张望。

冬天的傍晚仿佛是突然到来的,太阳一跌入远处的楼群,天就黑了。这时候,何玲尖叫了起来,看,老四烧烤,对了就是那里。母亲顺着何玲的手指望去,老四烧烤的灯箱果真在路那边立着呢。何玲拽起母亲就走,然后又是一阵欢呼,看水清的馒头摊。

何玲一路欢呼着,带着母亲向前走。母亲跟在何玲后面,眼里盈满了远远近近的灯火。
