不開心的人們有7個壞習慣：他們爲什麼不開心？
Everyone experiences unhappy times on occasion, but there is a big difference between experiencing a temporary bout of sadness and living a habitually unhappy life. That’s what chronically unhappy people do.
每個人都會時不時地覺得不開心，但是偶然覺得不開心和長期過着悲傷的日子是截然不同的。下面是長期不快樂的人經常做的事情。
Even if you are generally a happy person, take a look at these seven habits to determine if any of them are keeping you from experiencing greater amounts of joy.
即使你過着開心的日子，也請看一下下面的這七個習慣，你也許會發現，如果自己沒有其中的某些習慣，可能會更開心！
1. Playing it too safe.
過於保守
Don’t play it so safe that you put yourself in situations where none of your potential options satisfy your calling. Dream your dream, but also realize that you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for your dream’s reality.
過於保守的話，你的潛能就無法滿足你的心願。要有夢想，但也要意識到你不僅僅是個夢想家，你還是夢想的現實起點。
Your dream is your creative vision for your future life. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar. Start smashing through those emotional barriers. Move forward. Life doesn’t magically give you what you want in your mind; it gives you what you insist upon with your actions.
你的夢想是你未來生活創造性的願景。你必須走出當前的舒適區，習慣你所不熟悉的內容。打破這些情感障礙，往前走。生活不會奇蹟般地給你想要的東西，它會給你你自己用行爲堅持下來的東西。
2. Continuous self doubt.
一直自我懷疑
You will inevitably become who you believe yourself to be.
你不可避免地成爲你想成爲的人。
If you spend enough time saying, “I’m not smart enough, thin enough and rich enough,” it’s likely that you will someday be right. On the contrary, if you have the belief that you are smart enough, thin enough and rich enough now to take the next positive step forward, over time you will likely acquire the capacity to be these very things at your desired level of expectation.
如果你花了足夠的時間說，“我不夠聰明，不夠瘦，不夠富有，”很有可能有一天你會發現這是真的。相反，如果你相信自己夠聰明，夠瘦，夠富有，可以繼續向前邁出積極的一步，隨着時間的推移，你很有可能獲得爲達到夢想所需要的能力。
3. Obsession with control.
迷戀控制
Sometimes people put too much interest into trying to control every tiny aspect of their lives. Learn to let go, relax and ride the path that life takes you. Try something new, take a chance, but above all, smile and enjoy the scenery.
有時人們過於喜歡控制生活中的細微方面。學着去放手，放鬆心情，去走前面的路。嘗試一些新的事物，冒冒險，但是最重要的，是微笑並欣賞途中的美景。
Freeing yourself from trying to control the insignificant things lets you experience more of the good stuff around you. The greatest joys in life are often the unexpected surprises that arrive when you are flexible and open to life’s twists and turns.
不去糾結微不足道的小事，你會發現身邊還有很多好東西。生活中最大的快樂，莫過於當你適應了生活中的曲折時那不期而遇的驚喜。4. Setting unrealistic expectations.
設定不切實際的目標
You won’t drop two jean sizes overnight. Your relationships won’t grow without your attention. You can’t pay off $25K in debt in a week. Your new business venture won’t instantly turn a profit.
你的牛仔褲尺寸不可能一夜之間就小兩號。如果你不努力，你的人際關係也不會有進展。你不可能在一週的時間內付清兩萬五千美元。你的新事業也不可能立刻盈利。
You’re going to make mistakes every now and then. You will go a day or two when you feel like you’re running in place. You’re going to try new techniques and they’re not always going to work. You’re a human being. You’re going to fail from time to time. But that’s how you grow. Worthwhile goals take work and persistence.
你會時不時地犯錯誤。經過一兩天的時間你纔會覺得準備就緒。你準備嘗試新的技巧，但是它們並不總是有用。你是一個人，你會時不時地失敗。但是隻有這樣你才能成長。重要的目標需要努力和堅持。
5. A bad attitude.
惡劣的態度
The greatest discovery you will ever make is that you can change your life by simply changing your attitude. Optimism is the most essential human trait, because it allows you to evolve your ideas and improve every situation you encounter.
僅僅通過改變態度就可以改變生活，這也許是你未來的最大發現。樂觀是人類最重要的品質，因爲它能讓你改進你的想法，改善你遇到的每一種情形。
So don’t take things for granted. Be positive and realize how fortunate you are. Not every day will be perfect, but if you pay attention you’ll realize that 99.9% of the time you’re having either a good day or a great day.
所以不要總是覺得理所當然。肯定自己並意識到自己有多麼幸運，不是每一天都能完美，但是如果你留意，你會發現99.9%的時候你過得不錯或過得很好。
6. Slacking on exercise.
懶於運動
You DO have enough time to exercise. If you say otherwise, you’re lying to yourself. The truth is you don’t have time not to, or sooner or later you’ll be making time for illness.
你有足夠的時間去鍛鍊身體。如果你說沒有，那是在自欺欺人。事實上，你現在沒有時間去運動，過些日子你就有時間生病了。
At least 30 minutes of exercise every day has been proven on countless occasions by countless medical studies to increase the strength, happiness and longevity of human lives. You’re talking about three and a half hours a week. That’s hardly seems an excessive amount of time considering the tremendous benefits in terms of the impact on the remaining 164.5 hours of the week.
無數的醫學研究證明，每天至少鍛鍊30分鐘會增強體力、提升幸福感、延長壽命。每天30分鐘，一週三個半小時。 想想你能在一週內剩下的那164.5小時獲得的大量益處，這點兒時間絕不算多。
7. Overindulgence of a good thing.
過度沉迷於某件事物
Eating too much makes you fat. Spending too much money makes you broke. Working too much leaves your family at home missing you. Playing too much leaves important work undone… And so on and so forth.
吃得過多會讓你發胖，花錢花得過多會讓你破產，工作太多會讓家人在家想念你，玩耍太多重要的事情就無法完成……這樣的例子舉不勝舉。
Happiness depends on the balancing act of applying your positive resources equally to the hungry deficits in your life. All details aside, the important thing to remember is this: Long-term happiness is never found in one good thing; it is a combination, it is a balanced lifestyle.
快樂取決於你能否把積極的資源均等地分到生活中的赤字中以達到平衡。拋開細節不談，重要的是要記住：長期的幸福不會在一件事情中找到；它是一種結合，是一種平衡的生活方式。
