新的研究發現有很多方式能讓自己更加安靜、富有創造力和長壽。
1. Optimism
樂觀積極
Never mind if you don't have hours a day—even afew minutes spent in quiet contemplation once in awhile yields noticeable benefits. A group of adults who meditated an average of six hours and13 minutes over the course of five weeks developed patterns of brain activity typicallyassociated with positive moods。
就算你每天沒有太多的時間也沒關系，僅僅幾分鐘的沉思就能讓你獲得不少好處。研究顯示，在五周的時間里平均沉思6小時13分鐘的成年人，有效地提升了腦力，心態也變得更加積極。
2. Serenity
平靜
When mice were fed a strain of probiotics found in some yogurt, they became calmer understress, Irish and Canadian scientists observed. The were less likely to panic like their broth-fedbrethren, and they produced fewer stress hormones—effects similar to those brought on byantidepressants. Look for yogurt that has active probiotic cultures, and say, "Mmmm."
愛爾蘭和加拿大的科學家觀察發現，用某種酸奶里含有的活益生菌喂食老鼠，能讓它們在壓力之下顯得更加冷靜。相比那些食肉的老鼠而言，它們似乎更不容易陷入恐慌，還能分泌出較少的壓力荷爾蒙——這和服用抗抑郁癥藥物的效果一樣。喝喝那些富含活益生菌的酸奶吧，然后大贊一句“好喝”。
3. Creative Thinking
創造性思維
Volunteers who worked in rooms lit by a lamp with an incandescent lightbulb instead ofoverhead fluorescents solved problems requiring novel thinking more successfully. Scientistssay the symbolism of the bulb (not just its light spectrum) led to the subjects' bright ideas,and cited "a growing body of research showing that perception of objects...can subtlyinfluence our behavior."
房間里的燈泡對創造性思維有影響。相比頭頂是日光燈的志愿者而言，頭頂是白熾燈泡的似乎更能輕而易舉的解決需要創新性思維的難題。科學家表示，燈泡的象征主義(不僅僅它的光譜)能幫助被試者想出不錯的點子，并且“越來越多的行為研究表明對物體的感知能潛移默化的影響我們的行為”。
4. Belonging
歸屬感
Undergraduates who considered chicken soup a comfort food and then were fed some scoredhigher on a psychological test of social connectedness than those who weren't given anysoup. When given a word fragment like incl, they converted it into a "relationship word" suchas include, instead of a neutral term, like incline, because the dish stirred a sense ofconnection。
在社交連通性的心理測試中，我們給那些把雞湯看成是安慰食物的大學生準備了一些雞湯，結果顯示他們的得分要比沒有喝雞湯的那群人更高。比如我們給出詞根incl， 他們會迅速轉化成“關系詞匯” 比如include，而非中性詞匯incline，因為雞湯激起了他們心中的歸屬感。
5. Vitality
活力
Tired? Draggy? Stuck in your office? Picture yourself outside beneath an arching sky andcanopied branches. Daydreaming about nature is energizing, according to a new study. And ifyou can go outdoors, even better: As little as 20 minutes in a natural setting demonstrablyincreased people's energy levels for the day。
累了？乏了？被困在辦公室了？想象一下自己正在戶外，藍天下，綠茵旁吧。新的研究顯示，做點關于自然的白日夢能增加能量。如果你真能去戶外那就更好了，每天只需要在自然環境下待上20分鐘就能有效提高一天的能量了。
6. Longevity
長壽
Using data from about 10,000 adults tracked over 50 years, scientists discovered thatvolunteering, especially for altruistic motives, can be a lifesaver. People who reported givingtheir time because they wanted to help others outlived those who didn't volunteer at all, as wellas those who did so mostly for their own satisfaction。
根據對10000個成年人長達50年的追蹤研究，科學家發現，志愿活動尤其是那些無私利心的，可以是救命稻草。那些花時間幫助別人的人們要比其他人更加長壽，即使他們幫別人只是為了自己開心。
7. Bliss
狂喜
Researchers asked volunteers to rate their level of happiness the last time they spent money onthemselves or on someone else. Not only were the givers happier, but when presented withextra cash to use as they wished, they were more apt to spend it on others. The study'sauthors concluded "a positive feedback loop" exists between offering gifts and well-being。
研究者要求志愿者回想一下上次為自己或別人花錢時到底有多開心。事實上，花錢者不僅更開心了，給他們多余的錢時，他們還會樂于花在別人身上。研究作者總結道，給禮物和人之間有著“積極的回饋循環”。
8. A Healthier Diet
健康飲食
To make better choices at the grocery store, bring dollar bills, a revelatory study shows.Analyzing 1,000 households, researchers found that shoppers who paid by credit card tendedto select chips, cookies, and other junk food. The theory: Shelling out cash is morepsychologically painful, so people are less likely to spend it on unhealthy goods。
一項啟示性的研究顯示，想在便利店做出正確的選擇，用現金吧。對1000個家庭的分析發現，那些用信用卡付賬的顧客似乎更易選擇薯片、餅干和其他垃圾食品。理論：花現金才更會肉疼，人們也就不會多買那些垃圾食品了。
