想要快樂? 那么就不要做以下三件事!
You want to be happy, who doesn't? However, you might engage in unhelpful behaviors that thwart your success.
你想快樂，有誰不想呢？然而，你可能在進行一些阻礙你成功的不良行為。
Whether you procrastinate, feed negative self-talk, or don't rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.
不管是拖延、消極的自我對話，或是不讓大腦休息，這些都會降低你獲得幸福的潛能。
1.Procrastination
1.拖延
Putting off mowing the lawn, or not writing a letter, may not seem like a big deal, but every time you don't carry out tasks you think you should complete, you ignite a mild fight or flight response.
該修剪的草坪一直沒剪，或者是一封信總是沒有寫，看起來都不是什么大事，但是每一次你沒有做完你應當完成的工作，你就燃起了一場微弱的斗爭或是內心的逃避。
Fight or flight happens when you face stress, and, although it exists to aid survival, it isn't always a helpful response.
當你面對壓力時斗爭或者逃避就會出現。盡管它的存在是為了幫助生存，但它并不總是積極正面的響應。
You aren't in mortal danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn't always take this information onboard. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.
當拖延時，你并不會有生命危險，然而你的身體系統卻不會總是認真考慮這件事。你仍然看起來很緊張，并產生了壓力性化學物質。
Additionally, as your system constricts physically, your mind also closes off a little.
此外，由于你的身體總是處于緊張狀態，你的大腦也多少會受到影響。
Just as your muscles tighten when you are anxious, your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate, so, you don't see as much joy
當你壓力很大時你的肌肉會收緊，當你拖延時你規劃生活的能力會降低，所以，你就感受不到太多的快樂。
2.Negative self-talk
2.消極的自我對話
Self-talk is a barometer, telling you how healthy you are emotionally.
自我對話是一個晴雨表，能判斷出你的心理有多健康。
Taking notice of what goes on in your head, and putting positive change in action, makes negative self-talk useful.
注意你的腦子里正在想著什么，并且在行為上做出積極的轉變，讓消極的自我對話變得有用。
Nonetheless, most people don't recognize negative self-talk as a pointer, they feed it until it grows out of control.
然而，大多數人并未意識到消極的自我對話可以作為一個指針，他們不停的塞滿它，直到失控。
3.Not resting your mind.
3.不讓大腦休息
Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over.
你的大腦可容納的信息量多到不可思議，比任何的電腦都要強大許多倍。
However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind. Thinking about many things at once generates a feeling of anxiety.
然而，如果你給它了太多任務，它就一直得不到休息。一次思考太多的事情會造成情緒的緊張。
Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath.
過度思考會導致身體出現一些癥狀，比如心跳加快、呼吸急促。
Additionally, you might have insomnia, digestive problems, and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.
此外，可能還會產生失眠、消化問題以及其他一些應激癥狀，降低你的幸福感。
If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don't procrastinate, complete jobs and you'll feel less pressure.
如果你想提升幸福感，不要拖延，及時完成工作，你會覺得壓力小了很多。
At the same time, don't feed negative self-talk. Note what your inner voice tells you then watch it fade.
同時，不要總進行消極的自我對話，關注你內心的聲音，并監控它直到消失。
Similarly, don't overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.
同樣，不要讓大腦超負荷運轉，讓它得到適當的休息，很快你就會感到自己更幸福了。
You want to be happy, who doesn't? However, you might engage in unhelpful behaviors that thwart your success.
