Is there a connection between feeling happy and being lucky? “When youre happy, youre smarter, you interact① better with other people and youre healthier,” says psychologist Martin Seligman. “All of this adds up to what we commonly call luck.”
Whats the best way to become happy-go-lucky? Seligman suggests the following steps:
Stop, look and listen. Take time each day to absorb the details of your surroundings. Notice colours, designs and patterns② of nature and architecture. This will heighten your sense of beauty and make you feel good.
Realise things could be worse. Make a point to be thankful when good things happen to you. Youll wind up dwelling③ less on bad things and focusing more on taking steps to improve your life.
Feel the bliss. Think about how you feel as youre experiencing what you enjoy most in life. By savouring the sensation, you allow the experience to satisfy you fully and pump④ up your happiness.
幸福與幸運(yùn)有關(guān)系嗎?心理學(xué)家馬丁·塞利格曼說:“當(dāng)你感到幸福時,你就會比較聰明能干,你就會與別人相處得比較好,而且你就會比較健康。所有這一切加起來就是我們通常所說的幸運(yùn)。”
要想使自己變得無憂無慮,最好的辦法是什么?塞利格曼建議采取以下步驟:
停下來,看一看,聽一聽。每天花一些時間來細(xì)心觀察你周圍的事物;注意大自然和建筑物的顏色、設(shè)計(jì)和圖案,這會增強(qiáng)你對美的感受,使你心情舒暢。
要想到事情可能會更糟。所以,遇到幸事時要心懷感激。不再沉溺于思考一些不好的事,要多專注于采取各種辦法來改善你自己的生活。
體會自己的幸福。多想想你生活中得到最大樂趣時的那種體會。通過感官仔細(xì)地體味,你可以讓這種樂趣充分滿足自己,也使你更加幸福。
