1. Stop Shopping 停止购物 Put down the plastic and step away from the cash register! According to the Science of Happiness infographic, consumerism is the biggest obstacle to happiness around the world. 放下购物袋，远离收银台！根据幸福指数统计，消费是影响全球幸福感的最大障碍。 Retail therapy is only a temporary fix to make you happy. You may experience the joy of instant gratification when purchasing something you want, but, as the saying goes, “you can’t buy happiness.” Often times, shopping will lead to buyer’s guilt or jealousy because you can’t afford a certain product. 购物疗法只能暂时让你感到开心。当买到渴望的东西时，你可能会获得满足感带来的瞬间快乐，但常言道，“金钱买不来幸福”，很多时候因为买不起某个产品，购物会让消费者心生愧疚或妒忌。 2. Work Out Often 经常锻炼 Make a mix playlist of your favorite songs and hit the gym. Burning off calories and strengthening your muscles only touches the surface of the benefits of working out. Underneath all of your physical components lie some awesome chemicals called endorphins. When you break a sweat, these endorphins are released, and they bring about a feel-good reaction that promotes happiness. That’s why healthy people are generally 20% happier than the average person. 播放器里选一些喜欢的歌曲，然后带上去健身吧。燃烧卡路里和锻炼肌肉仅仅是运动的表面益处，更好的益处藏在你体内那个叫“内啡肽”的神奇化学物质——运动流汗时，人体会释放内啡肽，进而产生刺激幸福感的良好反应。所以健康人的幸福指数要比普通人高20%。 |
