6. Do What You Love 做自己喜欢做的事情
Have you ever heard the phrase, \what you love, because the money will follow?\– and even better, getting paid for it – are good ways to boost your levels of happiness. When work feels like play, you're more likely to enjoy other aspects of your life better, too.
你曾听说过这个说法吗？“做自己爱做的事情，金钱会随之而来。” 把自己喜欢做的事情做好了，是从中获得回报提升幸福感的好方式。当工作变得像玩乐般轻松，你也更能享受生命中其它方面的快乐。
7. Volunteer Your Time 奉献你的时间
When you give of yourself, either by time or talent, your focus shifts from your life to that of others, helping you realize that, just maybe, your own problems aren't that bad. You invariably forge new relationships and experience an uplift in your spirit.
当你奉献你的时间或你的才华时，你把人生关注点转移到别人身上，有助于你认识到这一点：或许你自己遇到的问题其实并不那么糟，总能锤炼新的感受并体验精神上的升华。
9. Avoid Regrets 别让自己有遗憾
We all make mistakes in life – that's part of the human condition. But with a little forethought, you can try to avoid making big mistakes. Even then, they still happen. That's when it's best to learn to forgive – yourself and others – because everyone else just trying to get through life the best they can, too. They'll make mistakes, but the trick is, moving on from them.
一生中我们都会犯错误，这是人类社会的一部分。但是稍微多考虑一下，尽量避免出大错。即使这样却还是会出错。最好学着去原谅自己、原谅别人，因为别人也在尽力把日子过到最好。他们会犯错误，但技巧在于要从他们身上吸取教训改进自己。
10. Take Time to Meditate 找时间沉思冥想
Sitting down, lighting a candle and doing some deep breathing for ten minutes are all it takes to relax your mind and body. In doing so, you get in touch with your inner-self, and invariably, you'll get to know yourself a little better. That's definitely a booster on the happiness scale.
坐下来、点上蜡烛、做十分钟的深呼吸让身心放松。这样你会接触抵达你的内心深处，并且还能对你自己更好地了解一下。沉思冥想绝对是幸福的助推器。
11. Deal With Clutter 理顺一下杂乱无章的生活
Are you overrun with books and papers piled everywhere? Too much mail sitting on the hall table? Why not tackle a small task each day for a month in an effort to de-clutter your life? When you're not running around looking for items you can't find, when everything has its place, you'll automatically be less stressed and in a better mental state.
你把书和纸堆的到处都是吗？桌面上挂着太多的邮件？为什么不每天处理一项小的任务，努力坚持一个月的时间，来理顺你杂乱无章的生活？你不再为找不到东西而焦头烂额，你的每样东西都有固定地方，你自然就不会把自己搞得那么紧张有压力，而且会有一种比较好的精神状态。
