It's our natural tendency to live life in a "time famine," always going from one thing to the next with no real moments of pause. As Agapi Stassinopoulos put it in a recent HuffPost blog, our actual task list isn't the problem, it's our glorification of it. "It's not that we are not busy and we don't have a lot to do, but it's as if our whole selves -- body, mind and spirit -- are being wrapped up in our daily to-do list and we utterly lose perspective of the whole picture," she wrote. Taking some time to relax can offer numerous health and happiness benefits -- so it's time to stop excusing ourselves from a little downtime。 我们总是自然而然地把生活过得过于紧凑，不停歇地从一件事转移到另一件。正如阿加皮·斯塔西诺普洛斯在近期的赫芬顿邮报博客中说的，我们的时间任务计划并没有问题，问题出在我们对于安排的修善。“并不是说我们不忙也不必要做很多事，但似乎我们整个身心——身体、思想、精神——都扑在我们每天计划要做的事情里，完全丧失了对事物的感知，”她如此写道。腾出一些时间去放松可以给我们带来很多健康愉悦的好处——因此是时候不再为自己的空闲找借口了。 If we're always plugged into our jobs, sooner or later burnout will catch up to us. Making some time for a vacation -- whether it's a week or a weekend -- not only has the potential to increase your happiness levels, but can provide the perfect opportunity to recharge. Ditch your phones, ditch your emails and just be. You'll be much more productive when you come back。 |
