不鍛鍊的我如何保持健康呢?
I Set an Alarm For Bed
設了提醒睡覺的鬧鐘It sounds freakishly regimented, I know. But think of it this way: most adults with full-time jobs are accustomed to setting an alarm to wake up, but our self-discipline goes out the window when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. After having a baby and surviving long bouts of torturous sleep deprivation, I realized that the kindest thing I can do for myself is get sleep while I can. For me, this means developing an early bedtime routine. Setting a 9 p.m. alarm is an easy reminder to step away from late-night traps of Netflix binging and online shopping. When the alarm goes off, I know I have an hour or so to shower, brush my teeth, slip into PJs, and settle into bed with a book, something that always puts me to sleep. Now I enjoy eight hours of sleep during weeknights and it's made me feel more vibrant, more productive, and happier during my workday.
這聽起來很嚴格，我知道。但不妨這樣想：大多數全職的成年人都習慣設置鬧鐘叫醒他們，但在晚上睡覺方面，我們卻沒有那麼自律。生完寶寶並長期遭受睡眠被剝奪的痛苦折磨後，我意識到能爲自己做的最好的事就是一有時間就睡覺。於我而言，這意味着要早點睡。設一個晚上9點響的鬧鐘能提醒自己不該再看電視或網上購物了，這樣就不會熬夜。當鬧鐘停止，我知道我有一個小時左右的時間洗澡、刷牙、穿睡衣、拿本書上牀，每次在牀上看書我都能睡着。現在，每個工作日我都有8小時的睡眠時間，這讓我在工作時更加精力充沛、更有成效也更快樂。
I Embrace Meditation Hacks
我享受冥想
I could pay $3 a day to park in the lot right next to my morning commuter train, dashing from my car to the train in a matter of seconds, but I don't. Instead, I pocket the money and park for free in the surrounding residential neighborhood and walk to the train station. Sure, it tacks on an extra 10 minutes to my morning commute, but I relish those minutes. I take in the beauty of the morning sky, listen to the birds, breathe in the brisk air, and just slow the f*ck down. No headphones, no email. It's the closest thing I have to a meditation practice. When I'm at work, I use the Breathe app on my Apple Watch as a reminder to take one minute between emails and meetings to just breathe deeply. I know this sounds ridiculous, but have you ever stopped to just breathe when you feel stress creeping up on you? If you have, you know it's shockingly effective.
我本可以每天付3美金將車停在靠近早班車的停車場旁，在幾秒鐘的時間內就從自家車換乘到火車上，但我並沒有。我的錢仍乖乖的躺在我的口袋裏，因爲我把車停在了附近免費停車的住宅區、然後走到火車站。當然，這樣我每天就會在上班路上多花10分鐘，但在這10分鐘內，我特別享受。我享受清晨湛藍的天空、聽鳥兒歌唱、呼吸着新鮮空氣、只想放慢腳步。沒有耳機、沒有電子郵件。這是我做過的最接近冥想的事情。當我工作時，我使用蘋果手錶中的呼吸應用提醒我在郵件和各種會議中停下來深呼吸一分鐘。我知道這聽起來很荒誕，但你有沒有嘗試過在壓力山大的時候停下來深呼吸呢？如果你曾嘗試過，那你肯定知道這招非常有效。I Drink More Water - With Reusable Straws
我用可循環吸管喝更多的水There was a time when the sound of a colleague opening a can of Diet Coke sent me running to the kitchen to follow suit. But I've discovered that by adding a straw to my glass of water, I can suck the entire glass down without thinking. A miracle!
曾幾何時，我一聽到同事打開健怡可樂的聲音就會衝向廚房自己也打開一罐。但我發現，用吸管喝水時，隨便一吸就是一整杯水。真是奇蹟！
