沪江小编：每天忙忙碌碌，起早贪黑为的是什么？买房买车赚大钱，为的又是什么？一切都是“快乐”两字！既然我们追求的只是快乐的生活而已，为什么还要“曲线救国”而不直接去快乐地生活呢？下面这些事情，你可以选择每周做几件，你就可以很快乐！

1) Create new good habits, kill bad habits:
培养新的好习惯，改掉坏习惯

Changing your environment is the easiest and most powerful way to change your behavior. Altering the things in your home and your office and carefully picking the people you spend time with will bring you greater and more effortless results than anything else.
改变生活环境是改变行为的最简单也是最有效的方式。改变一下家里和办公室里的事物，谨慎交友，这些都会带给你莫大的益处。

2) Review your goals:
回顾你的目标

Doing this can improve your life. Goal setting is one of the four techniques the military used to increase Navy SEAL passing rates. Studies have also shown it makes you happier. Initially, the research says, aim high.
回顾目标可以改善你的生活。设定目标被认为是美国海豹突击队提高通过率的四个技巧之一。有研究表明，有目标的人生活更开心。该研究开篇就指出，要设立远大的目标。

3) Network:
社交交际

Networking is vital to staying employed, salary growth and job satisfaction. Employees with larger networks perform better. You're likely to find out about your next job through people you know but aren't very close to so expanding your pool of "weak ties" increases opportunities. Reconnecting with old friends on Facebook and Linked In is a good first step.
从求职加薪、工作满意度等方面而言，社交交际都是至关重要的。有良好社交关系的员工工作得更出色。你也可以从你的朋友那里找到你下一份工作的好机会。不过如果你的交友面窄的话，那么你就失去了很多机会了。去Facebook和Linked In等社交网络上面找找你的老朋友吧，这是扩展交际的好方法。

4) Think of death:
想象死亡

Sound morbid? You couldn't be more wrong. 9 minutes in to his famous Stanford commencement speech Steve Jobs discusses the importance he placed on thinking about death during his life:
听起来有点恐怖吧？你绝对没有听错。史蒂夫-乔布斯在斯坦福大学开学典礼上的九分钟演讲中就谈到了想象死亡的重要意义，他说：

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life."
“‘记住你即将死去’是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言。它帮我指明了生命中重要的选择。”

Scientists now agree with him.
现在科学家们也同意了这一观点。

5) Write:
写作

Writing has been shown to help people: Feel happier. Lose weight. Get over a break-up. Improve memory and increase learning. Get a job. Speed healing. Strengthen relationships. Follow through with their goals. Get over the past. Reduce worrying and increase performance.
写作可以让人感觉更愉快，减轻体重，度过难关，增强记忆力，提高学习能力。写作还可以帮助我们找到工作，加速复原能力，增强感情联系，坚持自己的目标，忘记过去，减少忧虑，以及提高表现。

6) Volunteer:
志愿活动

Volunteering has been shown time and time again to increase happiness. So the best way to be selfish might be to be selfless. You'll probably inspire others to do good too. Don't have time for this? Wrong. Giving your time to others makes you feel less time-constrained.
志愿活动已经一再地被证实有助于提高我们的幸福感。所以，想要自私的最好方法也许就是无私。你的志愿行为也有可能会激发别人的善举。没有时间去做志愿者？那就错了，把自己的时间奉献给他人会让你觉得时间没那么紧迫了。

7) De-stress:
舒缓压力

There are many easy ways to do this. Talk to yourself. Watch comedy. Spend more time with friends. Be compassionate. Stand up straight. Meditate. Garden. Chew gum. Nap. Spend time in nature.
有很多简单可行的方法来舒缓压力。自言自语，观看喜剧，朋友相聚，充满同情，站直身体，冥想放松，园艺活动，嚼口香糖，小憩片刻，感受自然。
