即使是在最疯狂的一天，也有很多事情可以马上降低你的压力水平，增强你的幸福感，为开始思考如何能长期地降低压力开创一个空间。
These experiences are more than enjoyable: they help protect the body against future stresses, improve problem solving, and stop downward spirals.
这就是为什么常常感到快乐很重要，至少每天要有那么几次感觉快乐。这些经验会更让人开心：它们能保护身体对抗未来的压力，提高解决问题的能力，停止恶性循环。
这里有一些每天可以做的安抚锻炼：
Take four long, slow breaths, and with the exhale, imagine that a gray cloud of stress, worries, or troubles is leaving the body. With the inhale, imagine that peace and love and wisdom are filling the body.
做四次绵长的、缓慢的深呼吸，呼气的时候，想象压力、担忧、或者麻烦像一团灰色的云一样离开身体。吸气的时候，想象平和、爱和智慧充满身体。
