一生受益: 極簡生活的6個好習慣
1. Slow down. Usually health starts failing because you’re going too fast. We tend to think that we’ll get healthier by going faster, but I’ve found the opposite is true. We run all day, and this makes us tired. When we’re tired we tend to eat worse, and we want to drink, this is a vicious cycle. Health and rest are intertwined. Stop moving so fast before everything else can begin.
1. 放慢速度。通常健康之所垮掉是因爲你的節奏太快。我們通常認爲節奏越快，我們會變得更健康，但是我發現慢節奏纔是。我們每天都會跑步，這使得我們很很累。當我們很累時，我們會暴飲暴食，這就形成了一個惡性循環。健康和休息是錯綜複雜的。在我們行動之前放慢腳步吧。
2. Disconnect. It’s incredibly hard to stretch for an hour if you’re checking Twitter every five minutes. Turn off the computer, turn off the smart phone, before you move to the other steps. Communication cracks out your mind when you’re constantly plugged in and makes it difficult to concentrate developing good health.
2。與外部斷開聯繫 如果你每五分鐘查一次微博，要抽出一小時來運動就會變得極爲艱難。在下一步行動之前，關掉電腦，關掉手機。當你經常開機時，溝通會影響你的心智，使得你很難集中精力去保持健康。
3. Take the time to begin eating right again. Good food is a commitment, one it takes time to fulfill. The worst food is also the easiest to consume quickly. Dedicate an hour for each meal, start to finish. Create each meal with fresh and raw ingredients that we’re just purchased from the market.
3. 花時間來正確飲食 好食物是一個保證，你必須花時間去實現。最糟糕的食物也就是能迅速吃到的食物。從開始到結束，每餐都花上一小時。用我們剛從市場買來的食材來精心準備每一餐。
4. Walk to and from the market before meals. I know this isn’t possible everywhere, but I find that it helps me focus on what my body needs and gets my body active. You can’t always plan ahead for what your body will need for dinner. Be conscious of what your body is telling you to eat, sometimes it might want something you don’t have in the fridge.
4. 在每餐前步行去買菜。我知道這並不適用於每一個地方，但是我發現它能幫助我意識到我身體所需什麼且使我身體充滿活力。你不能每次都提前計劃好晚餐時你的身體所需什麼。意識到你身體告訴給你他需要什麼這些信息，有時候你身體可能會想要一些你冰箱裏沒有的食物。
5. Take the time to stretch. Not everyone is like this, some people are gumby. But I’ve found that stretching is one of the most effective ways to improve my health. Set aside one-two hours a day for calm relaxed stretching positions — don’t force anything, listen to your body’s needs. Mine needs an hour of stretching today, I can hear it. Start slow with forward bends and calf stretches, move on to pigeon pose and plow at the end.
5花時間去運動。並不是每一個人都喜歡這樣，有些人會……但是我發現運動是增強體質的最有效地方法。每天花一兩小時來運動。開始時緩慢的前傾伸展和小腿伸展，然後擺出鴿子的姿勢再是犁頭的姿勢。
6. Only then move to intense exercise. I often fail if I try to exercise without first doing the above. Slowness, food, and stretching are the basis for everything that comes after. If food is hard, only focus on that. If stretching is hard, only focus on that. Everyone has their favorite method of strengthening their bodies and burning calories. I stick with Yoga and biking, you may like running and acrobatics.
It’s easier to injure or burn yourself out without first slowing down, eating right, and stretching. Start with foundation for good health before hitting the hard stuff.
6 這樣之後再做劇烈運動。如果我首先沒有做上面那些準備活動的話，我經常都會失敗告終。緩慢速度，飲食和都是運動是後面一切的基礎。如果很難控制飲食的話，那就好好注意那一部分。如果很難堅持運動的話，就只注意那一部分。每一個人都有其喜歡的方法來伸展身體和燃燒卡路里。我喜歡伽和騎自行車，而你可能喜歡跑步和雜技。
如果開始時不放慢速度，正確飲食和伸展身體的話，很容易會傷害或是灼傷你自己。在命中那之前好好打好健康的根基。
