How to Increase Serenity
怎樣讓自己更平靜
True serenity comes from within, but even Buddhists can use a little jump start now and then.
Steps 步驟
STEP 1 Laugh often 經(jīng)常笑
Laugh as often as you can. It causes your heart rate and blood pressure to drop dramatically, leaving your feeling profoundly relaxed.
People with a strong sense of humor are less prone to depression and anxiety. Find time for friends and family. Researchers who studied very content people found that every single one was extremely outgoing and reported strong social bonds.
STEP 3 Take charge 自己做主
Take charge of your life—even if that means standing up to a controlling loved one or finding a job that gives you more freedom. Confronting a troubling issue now will ensure more serenity later.
STEP 4 Do what you love 知道自己喜歡什么
Start a career doing what you love. A Swedish study found that people who work hard at something they find fulfilling are more satisfied with their lives.
No matter how much you love your job, take vacations: people who don't are more susceptible to heart attacks!
STEP 5 Don't feel guilty 不要自責
Be a couch potato without guilt. A study of women who kept a daily mood diary found that watching TV at night was their daily relaxation peak.
STEP 6 Sleep more 多睡覺
Get more sleep. A major impediment to serenity is fatigue due to lack of sleep.
STEP 7 Return to nature 回歸自然
Go for a hike, take a walk on the beach, or garden—just get outside. Scientists believe that we're actually hard-wired to relax when we're in the presence of the natural world, including plants and animals.
STEP 8 Go with the "flow" 順應自己的情緒
Go with the "flow," which is the state of intense well-being that occurs when we are so immersed in an activity that we lose all track of time—researchers say this is a key to contentment.
STEP 9 Keep a gratitude journal 保持一顆感恩的心
Keep a gratitude journal. Studies show it helps us want what we already have — the true key to happiness.
The well-known "serenity prayer," attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr, says, "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
