1. Journal.
记日记。
Research has shown that writing down what you're thankful for can lead to a multitude of wellness benefits. In order to reap the full benefits of journaling, Emmons，a gratitude researcher and psychology professor at the University of California, recommends writing for five to 10 minutes every other day. "You really need to commit to doing it, and if you write it down eventually it will become more automatic," Emmons says. "It's like exercise, you need to have a plan. You need to have a gratitude action plan, whether it's waking up and writing in the morning or in the evening before you go to sleep."
研究显示记下你所感激的东西对健康大有益处。为了充分发挥记日记的好处，加利福尼亚大学的感恩研究员兼心理学教授埃蒙斯建议每隔一天写5-10分钟日记。埃蒙斯说：“你真的需要专心投入，如果你都写下来，最终会成为习惯。就像做锻炼需要有一个计划，你要有一个感恩行动计划，无论是早起写日记还是晚上睡前写都可以。”
2. Don't avoid the negative.
不会躲避消极的东西。
Expressing gratitude may generate more optimism, but thankful people also don't shy away from the negative. Emmons says that while we often associate gratitude with focusing on the good and avoiding the bad, the key to leading a thankful life is embracing setbacks as part of your overall journey. Emmons suggests recalling a hard time you once experienced -- chances are, you'll start to feel grateful for your current state and overcoming former challenges.
表达感恩会产生更多乐观情绪，但感恩的人也不会躲避消极情绪。埃蒙斯称，我们总是觉着感恩就是关注好事、躲避坏事，但生活中感恩的关键是把挫折视为整个生命旅程的一部分。埃蒙斯建议你回忆曾经历过的一段困难时期，然后你可能就会开始因目前的状态和成功应对了之前的挑战而感恩。
3. Spend time with loved ones...
和爱的人在一起…
Thankful people know they didn't get to where they are by themselves -- and they make it a habit to spend time with those people who matter most. "Gratitude really helps us connect to other people," Emmons says. "It actually strengthens relationships and relationships are the strongest predictors of happiness and coping with stress."
