Seven Secrets To A Great Life

Article: Seven Secrets To A Great Life Source: Internet

A great life doesn't happen by accident. A great life is the result of allocating your time, energy, thoughts, and hard work towards what you want your life to be. Stop setting yourself up for stress and failure, and start setting up your life to support success and ease. A great life is the result of using what you get in a creative and thoughtful way, instead of just what comes next. Customize these "secrets" to fit your own needs and style, and start creating your own great life today.

1. S—Simplify. A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misinterpret what simplify means. It's not a way to remove work from your life. When you focus on simplifying your life, you free up energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first.

2. E—Effort. A great life is the result of your best effort. Creating a great life requires that you make some adjustments. It may mean re-evaluating how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way. It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy that coincide with your particular definition of a great life. Life will reward your best effort.



3. C—Create priorities. A great life is the result of creating priorities. It's easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets your attention, instead of intentionally using the time, energy and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on removing the obstacles that get in the way of you making sure you are honoring your priorities.

4. R—Reserves. A great life is the result of having reserves—reserves of things, time, space, energy, money. With reserves, you acquire far more than you need—not 6 months living expenses, but 5 years worth; not 15 minutes of free time, 1 day. Reserves are important because they reduce the fear of consequences, and that allows you to make decisions based on what you really want instead of what the fear decides for you.

5. E—Eliminate distractions. A great life is the result of eliminating distractions. Up to 75% of your mental energy can be tied up in things that are draining and distracting you. Eliminating distractions can be a difficult concept to many people, since they haven't really considered that there is another way to live. Look around at someone's life you admire. What do they do that you would like to incorporate into your own life? Ask them how they did it. Find ways to free up your mental energy for things that are more important to you.



6. T—Thoughts. A great life is the result of controlling your thoughts so that you accept and allow for the possibility that it actually can happen to you! Your belief in the outcome will directly dictate how successful you are. Motivated people have specific goals and look for ways to achieve them. Believing there is a solution to the same old problems you encounter year after year is vitally important to creating a life that you love.

7. S—Start. A great life is the result of starting. There's the old saying everyone's familiar with "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start. There's no better time to start than today. Don't wait for a raise, or until the kids get older, or the weather is better. Today, right now, is the right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart's desires. It's what you do TODAY that will make a difference in your life tomorrow.

2、酸奶面膜

材料:酸奶和面粉

做法:1.将适量的酸奶和面粉放在小钵中,调匀成浓稠的酸奶糊。(不要调得太稀,否则无法将面膜涂厚)

2.均匀地敷于全脸,待10~15分钟后,用温水洗净即可。
功效:酸奶面膜可以兼做洗脸之用,使用前后不必刻意清洁脸部。使用4~5回后,肌肤将会有全新的感受。

林贝卡 回复 悄悄话 美心理学家公布幸福必备十大要素 来源: 健康时报

美国著名的健康心理学家戴维·迈尔斯博士最近向外界公布了他对幸福的最新分析和看法。他对幸福看法的十大要素是:

  1.必须拥有健全的身体和健康的体魄,这是幸福的基石。吃食不挑剔,说话有条理,走路稳健。

  2.切合实际的目标和期望,这是幸福的内在驱动力。一个人如果没有目标追求,幸福的河水就会在懒散中干涸。

  3.自尊,这是幸福的支架,也是幸福的赐予。

  4.控制感情,这是幸福的规则。过分地压抑或放纵自己的感情,会和幸福相悖。

  5.乐观,是幸福的源泉。保持乐观,就能繁衍幸福。

  6.豁达,是幸福的开阔地。

  7.益友,是幸福的开心果。

  8.合群,人缘好,幸福自会来。

  9.挑战性的工作和活动性的消遣,这样的一张一弛,才会有幸福交替出现。

  10.团队意识,这是幸福的蓄水池。
