適度“發瘋”有好處：調整好心情的9大妙招

It's not always easy to convince yourself to step away from the stress and do a little jig to release happy hormones from your brain. So start small, like I did. When you put a smile on your face, all of the muscles on your face respond. Your eyes brighten, facial muscles loosen and the brow becomes smooth and relaxed. Even your thoughts may change.
要讓自己遠離壓力，跳個吉格舞來釋放快樂激素並不那麼容易。所以，從小處着手吧，就像我一樣。當你微笑的時候，你臉上所有的肌肉都會迴應，你的眼睛會變得更明亮，面部肌肉會放鬆而眉毛則會變得順滑而平和。甚至你的思想都會得到改變。

The goal is to break your current, negative state by disrupting it with something that will "shock" your internal chemist into action. Here are a few things I suggest you try to jump-start your productivity by adding some positivity. I admit a lot of them might make you look like a crazy person, but, in the pursuit of productivity, I'm willing to try anything.
你的目標是改變你現在那種消極的狀態。你需要用一些會刺激到你體內的的化學元素產生作用的東西來攪亂它。以下是我建議你嘗試的幾個方法，它們能夠通過一些積極的元素刺激你的工作效率。我承認其中的幾條會令你看起來像個瘋子，不過，爲了能提高效率，我願意嘗試任何事情！

1. Smile at strangers. Step away from your stressful environment for a 20-minute walk. Smile at the people you meet along the way. You will more than make up for the time with your increased productivity levels when you return.
1.對陌生人微笑。花20分鐘遠離你壓力山大的工作環境，一路上對你遇到的人們微笑。等你回到工作的時候，你工作效率上的提高能完全彌補你付出的時間。

2. Bust a move. Put on some great dance music and have a little 5-minute party! That's right, just dance. You don't even need a partner!
2.縱情舞蹈。放一些勁爆的舞曲，開一個5分鐘的小party！沒錯，跳舞吧，你甚至連舞伴也不需要！

3. Fire up the YouTube. Find a favorite funny video on YouTube and take a laughter break. Cute cat videos have been shown to help as well. (Not kidding.)
3.靠Youtube點燃激情。在Youtube上找一個你喜歡的搞笑視頻仰天大笑。據稱可愛貓咪的視頻也同樣有效。（真的）

4. Talk to yourself. This sounds nuts, but take a cue from old-school motivational speakers and books: Pace around the room reciting empowering affirmations in a positive, confident tone of voice and great posture.
4.自言自語。這聽上去很瘋狂，但看看那些老式學院的勵志演講家和書裏怎麼說吧：在房間踱着步，同時以積極，自信的聲音和動作念一些勵志的話語吧。

5. Belt it out. Sing to your animals or children--just be silly and let them in on the fun!
5.大聲唱出來。對着你的寵物或小孩唱歌吧，傻一點也不要緊，讓他們笑笑唄。

6. Get physical. Do a series of jumping jacks with a big smile on your face. (Bonus: 100 jumping jacks is said to burn 100 calories. Have a snack!)
6.運動起來。微笑着做一些跳爆竹運動。（額外獎勵：做100個跳爆竹據說能燃燒100卡路里，盡情地吃零食吧！）

7. Dial a friend. Pick up the phone and cheer up someone's day with an "I love you!"
7.給朋友打電話。拿起電話，跟某人說句“我愛你！”以此來振奮他的一天吧！

8. Hoot and holler. Just let out a simple "woo-hoo!" and think about a goal or future event that really charges you up.
8.放聲大叫。簡單地吼一聲“woo-hoo!”，想象一個進球或者未來發生的一件令你欣喜若狂的事兒。

9. Do a Julie Andrews. Think of one or two things that you are deeply grateful for and allow the thoughts to bring a smile of gratitude to your face. (You should think of a few of your favorite things several times a day anyway!)
9.學朱莉·安德魯斯。想象一兩件你深表感激的事情，爲它們掛上感激的笑容。（無論如何，你每天總該想一些你最喜歡的事情。）
