快樂生活:十個小技巧 讓你的心情high起來

Feeling a little blue? Here are ten fast and easy ways to smile.
感覺有些鬱悶嗎？以下十種方法快速且簡單，讓你馬上露出微笑。

1. Exercise
When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical called endorphins. This chemical makes you feel happier. That is just another reason why exercise is good for you.
運動
當你做運動時，大腦會產生一種叫做"內啡肽"的化學物質。這種物質讓讓你感到開心。這是另一個運動對你有好處的原因。

2. Play outside
Leave your apartment and go outside. Sun and fresh air are good for you.
去戶外遊玩
離開你的公寓去戶外玩玩，陽光和新鮮的空氣對你有好處。

3. Breathe
If you can’t go to the gym, try taking deep breaths. Breathing deeply will relax your muscles and give you energy.
呼吸
如果你不能去體育館，試着深呼吸。深呼吸會使你的肌肉放鬆，並讓你恢復活力。

4. Play Pop Music
Westlife, Backstreet Boys, S.H.E…who doesn’t like a little mindless pop? Listening to upbeat, happy music will make you smile. Singing along won’t hurt either.
聽聽流行音樂
西域男孩，后街男孩，S.H.E……誰不喜歡聽一些無厘頭的流行音樂呢？傾聽音樂的節拍，歡快的音樂會使你笑起來。自己一個人唱唱歌對你也有好處。

5. Laughter is the best medicine
Laughing is the best way to improve your mood. Children laugh around 400 times a day. Adults only laugh about 20 times a day. What happened? Be a kid for a day: play games, watch funny movies, or read jokes online.
開懷大笑是一劑良藥
笑是讓心情好起來的最好方法。兒童每天大概要笑400次，而成人每天大概只笑20次。怎麼回事？作一天孩子吧：玩玩遊戲，看看有趣的電影，或是上網讀讀笑話。

6. Power of Chocolate
Chocolate has special natural chemicals that make you happy. Plus, it tastes so good!
巧克力的力量
巧克力含有能讓你開心的天然化合物。而且，巧克力很吃好。

7. Draw
Be an artist! Draw, paint, or make something. Even if it is not perfect, being creative relieves stress.
畫畫
做個藝術家吧。畫畫，塗寫或是做些什麼東西。即使作品不完美，想方設法去創造也會減輕壓力。

8. Get a dog
Dogs are cute, energetic, and fun. Plus, studies show that people with pets live longer and people with dogs live the longest!
養一條狗
狗很可愛，充滿活力也很好玩。研究顯示，養寵物的人壽命比一般人長，而養狗的人壽命最長。

9. Have a Heart-to-Heart
If something is bothering you, it is a good idea to talk about it. Call a friend or relative. A good chat is great way to feel better fast.
促膝談心
如果有什麼事正困擾着你，你最好能把它說出來。給好友或是親戚打電話來傾訴。促膝談心是快速改善心情的好方法。

10. Think positive
Close your eyes and think of a beautiful scene or a time when you were happy and feeling good.
積極樂觀地考慮問題
當你很開心或感覺很好時，閉上眼睛，想想美麗的畫面或快樂的時光。
