感覺有點累過了？跑不下來嗎？不堪重負？是時間把自己放到首位了！做下面六件事中的任何一個都會像魔術般讓你找回你自己。
Dance
跳舞
There was an unhappy marriage. The woman, in her mid-60s, was feeling sad and low. One afternoon her grandson, just 4 and unaware of her problems, had an uncontrollable urge to dance, which for him meant flapping his arms and churning his legs in such a way as to appear as if he were hopping madly around on a bed of hot coals. "Dance with me, Grandma!" he said, hopping closer to her. She danced. And remembered delight.
曾經有一個不幸的婚姻。這個女人，60多歲，她感到悲傷和低落。一天下午，她的孫子，才4歲並不知道她的困惑，他按捺不住內心激動想跳舞去，這對他意味着拍打着兩支胳膊並攪動着雙腿，就像在熱炭上瘋狂的跳躍。 “與我共舞，奶奶！”他說，跳躍接近她。她跳起舞來。於是記憶了喜悅。
Have Sex
有性生活
Three kids (grown), two demanding jobs, and one dead air-conditioner later, they lay naked and sweating in their large, connubial bed. "God, " she said, "I'm hot." "That's right, " he said, "you are." He raised himself on one elbow, and with his face almost touching her, he began to blow lightly, from one of her shoulders to the other. The room, already warm, heated up. Endorphins were released. "I'd forgotten, " she said, finally. "Forgotten?" "I'd forgotten we were hot, " she said.
三個孩子（成年），兩個高要求的工作，和一個壞掉的空調，他們出着汗光着躺在夫妻大牀上。 “上帝，”她說，“我熱（性感）。”“沒錯兒，”他說，“你是（性感）。”他舉起一隻胳膊肘撐起自己，他的臉幾乎碰到她，他開始輕輕吹氣，從她的一邊肩膀到另一邊。房間裏，已經很熱，是被加熱了。內啡肽被釋放。她說，”我忘了“ 終於。 “ 忘了嗎？” “我都忘了我們是這麼的性感。”她說道。
Fill Your Eyes with Green
讓你的眼睛充滿綠色
It's the color many jewelers use as a backdrop when they're working on a delicate piece; green is said to be the easiest color for the eye to see. It's also thought to balance emotions and bring on a feeling of calm. Have you ever been mesmerized by the dense green of a palm as it swayed in a tropical breeze?
許多珠寶商總是使用綠色去做精美首飾的背景裝飾，綠色據說是人眼能看到最簡單的顏色。人們認爲它能平衡情緒，並帶來一種平靜的感覺。你曾經被那在一個熱帶的微風中搖擺的茂密綠色棕櫚樹迷住過嗎？Stand in a Steaming Shower
熱蒸汽淋浴
And let the hot water loosen the stiff muscles in your neck. Lean over and feel the water pound your back. Stand again and breathe in the steam, which carries moisture to your airways and your skin, where it replenishes the water that has evaporated from your cells.
讓熱水放鬆頸部肌肉僵硬。俯身並讓你的背部感到水流的拍打。再次站直並吸入蒸汽，這樣能爲你的呼吸道和皮膚帶來溼氣，它補充從細胞蒸發掉的水份。
Sweep
大掃除
Too tired to dance? Husband on a trip? Middle of winter? Can't sleep? Sweep. Depending on how you do it, it's either the most productive way to be mindless (sweep that dusty attic floor) or the most mindful way to be unproductive (sweep the patio of falling leaves; they keep falling, you keep sweeping, sweeping, doing only this).
太累都不想跳舞了嗎？老公出差了？正直隆冬？無法入睡？來大掃除吧，取決於你怎麼掃，這或是放空自己最有效的方式來（去掃塵土飛揚的閣樓地板）或也是最有專注的做無用功的方法（掃掉陽臺的落葉; 它們又不斷落下來，你一直掃啊，掃啊，只有這樣的掃）。
Breathe
呼吸
She used to get panic attacks. Then she learned how to "square breathe." Picture a square; choose a corner. Count to four as you slowly inhale. Count to four as you exhale. Reach the next corner on the inhale, leave it on the exhale. Four corners. Four deep breaths. Her heartbeat, which would suddenly gallop away, slowed to a comfortable trot. (Deep, slow breaths increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the body, which reduces the panic response.)
她以前經常會恐慌。然後，她學會了如何“廣場呼吸。”想像一個廣場；選擇一個角落。你慢慢吸氣時數到四。當你呼氣時再數到四。達到下一角落再吸氣，然後呼氣離開。四個角落。 四個深呼吸。她的心跳會放緩像舒適的小跑了一般。 （深而慢的呼吸能增加體內的二氧化碳量，從而降低了恐慌反應。）
