英语晨读美文--享受当下

Enjoy the little joys hidden in life 21ways to live in present 享受生活中的小快乐 21 种方法活在当下 It is said that life is not measured by the breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away 有人说 生命的意义不在于你呼吸的次数 而在于那些令你屏住呼吸的时刻 If this is correct then are we really living our lives to the fullest Are we enjoying every moment and giving each one the opportunity to mesmerize us How many memories can you recollect that left you breathless and in absolute awe Were you able to count beyond your fingertips Think about it 20 30 40 or more years and just a few such moments 如果这句话是对的 那么我们过的是极致的生活吗 我们在享受每一刻 并且给每个时刻 吸引我们的机会了吗 你能想起多少让你屏住呼吸使你惊叹的回忆 就 10 个手指头你能 数得过来吗 想一想 20 年 30 年 40 年或更久 还是只有这几个时刻吗 The problem isn t that such mesmerizing events rarely occur but rather it is our lack of being present in the moment that allows us to miss it all It is often the simplest things in life that are the most magical from falling in love to watching a child take their first step moments that make the heart skip a beat are hard to miss if you are paying attention They aren t expensive to the pocket and neither do they consume too much time you just need to be consciously present in the moment to be able to encapsulate the magic that lies within 问题不在于这样很赞的很少发生 而是我们缺乏关注当下这一刻 因而我们错过了这一切 通常生活中最简单的事情是最神奇的 从恋爱到看见孩子迈出 TA 的第一步 如果你留心 让心澎湃的时刻是不容易错过的 它们并不需要你花太多钱 也不会耗费你太多时间 你 只需要有意识地留意那些蕴藏着神奇的时刻 We all know that life can sometimes get overwhelming from rush hour traffic to the never ending workload there is always something that needs our attention As you get stuck in the monotonous everyday rut take a moment to stop and acknowledge your existence This isn t to propose that you drop everything and enter into a state of meditation but rather simply be consciously present in even the most mundane of your everyday activities 我们都知道生活有时会淹没我们 从交通高峰期到没完没了的工作量 总有一些事情需要 我们的关注 当你困在单调的日常惯例中时 请停一停 肯定你的存在 这并不是建议你 放下一切 进入一种沉思的状态 而是仅仅有意识地留意即使是最平凡的日常活动 Life can crawl through you if you let negativity overtake your mind and it will fly by in the blink of an eye if you get too engrossed in everyday life and fail to recognize and differentiate the you apart from the everything else It is therefore very important that you find time to nurture yourself and give it the attention it deserves 如果你让消极的思想掌控了你 生活就会从你身边流逝而过 如果你过于沉浸于日常生活 里 又无法辨别及区分自己与周围的一切 那么一眨眼的工夫它就从你眼前飞过了 因此 很重要的一点是 你要找到时间关心自己 并给予应有的关注 Here are 21 natural ways to re sync yourself with the universe and enjoy the little joys hidden in each and every moment 这里有 21 个自然方法使自己与宇宙重新同步 享受隐藏在每时每刻里的小快乐 1 Fall in love Whether it is with that gorgeous pair of shoes or the guy next door give yourself permission to let your heart skip a beat 要有爱 无论是一双华丽的鞋子 还是隔壁的男人 让自己的心澎湃一次 2 Smile giggle and laugh til your tummy hurts 微笑 傻笑 大笑 笑到肚子疼 3 Go on a date with yourself Dress up look fabulous and treat yourself with an exquisite evening with yourself 与自己约会 穿上盛装光彩照人 让自己一个人过美好的夜晚 4 Say I m sorry You know exactly who you should be saying it to 说对不起 你知道你应该对谁说 5 Give yourself permission to do the things you ve always wanted to do 允许自己做那些自己一直想做的事 6 Walk through a garden sprinkler on a hot summer day and recreate a moment of innocent childhood bliss 在炎热的夏天穿过花园里洒水器喷出的水 重拾童年无忌的幸福时刻 7 Climb a mountain Literally Nothing can be more rewarding and humbling at the same time than the experience of having achieved both the height and the realization of being so infinitesimally small It s overwhelming Okay maybe this one isn t an instant one but it is definitely worth the challenge 爬山 就是去爬山 爬山既实现了高度超越 又能让你领悟到自己如此渺小 没有什么 能比它同时让人获得奖赏又显得谦卑 爬山是非常震撼的感觉 也许这个不能马上实现 但这绝对是值得挑战的 8 Call an old friend and re live the memories of the past Could you possibly make life that exciting again 给老朋友打电话 重现过去的记忆 你能让生活再度兴奋起来吗 9 Watch the ocean tides capture the shore under the shimmering moon light 观看在闪闪发亮的月光下潮汐冲刷到海岸边的景色 10 Hum your favorite tune 哼你最喜欢的曲子 11 Stargaze 眺望星辰 12 Let go From unfair expectations to resentment they do you no good 放手 从不公的期许到怨恨 统统放手吧 它们对你没有好处 13 Trust your instincts 相信你的直觉 14 Send a postcard or a letter through snail mail 以邮政信件的方式寄送一张明信片或一封书信 15 Share your dreams with a close one and listen to theirs 和亲密的人分享你的梦想 并聆听他们的 16 Have a silent day Its a great way to learn to reconnect with your inner self again 安静地过一天 这是一种学着与内心世界再次沟通的伟大方式 17 Draw write or paint something Let your inner artist surprise you 画画 写作或绘图 你内心的艺术家将让你大吃一惊 18 Read the poems of Rumi and see the universe in a philosophical light 朗读诗人鲁米的诗歌 从哲学的角度看看宇宙 19 Introduce yourself to a stranger There is so much to learn from the similarities and the differences that exist between us and the world around us 向陌生人介绍自己 我们可以学习到很多相似性和差异性 它们存在于我们和我们周围 的世界之间 20 Buy yourself fresh flowers and remember to smell the
