Myth 1 : You’re either born happy or not — it’s not something you can change. 秘密 1 ：天生快乐或不快乐----无法改变。 Get Happier Now: The next time you're grabbing coffee, pay for person behind you. The feel-good mood bump will be worth every penny! 现在变得更快乐：下次你喝咖啡，把你身后的人的钱也付了。感觉好的情绪值每一便士。 Myth 2 : You can control how you act, but you can't control how you feel. 秘密 2 ：你可以掌控你的行为，但无法掌控你的感受。 Get Happier Now: You guessed it: Smile! You can even set calendar alerts as reminders to do so regularly and consistently. While it's not an instant cure-all, it will reduce your body's stress response and make you feel better (even if you're gritting your teeth behind that grin). 现在变得更快乐：你猜：笑!你甚至可以用日历来提醒你有规律的持续的做。尽管并不会立刻治愈，会减少你身体的压力反应使你感觉更好(即使拧笑后你在磨你的牙齿)。 Myth 3 : People who are generally happy just have pretty good, stress-free lives. 秘密 3 ：拥有无忧无虑，毫无压力的生活。 Get Happier Now: Write down a recent change in your life (good or bad) and then follow it with three good things that have come out of that change. For example: "My car is in the shop and I have to dip into my savings for the repairs. But, being car-less means I get to carpool with my coworkers who I've been meaning to get to know." |
