贴在镜子上的激励语：用微笑提升乐观情绪

 　　If you expect the worst, the worst will happen. If you let things bother you, they will. But if you smile, you’ll feel better. Studies have shown that putting a cheerful smile on your face can trigger¹ a part of your brain that actually makes you feel happier and more optimistic about the present and future.

　　如果你总是期待坏的事情发生，那坏事情一定会发生。如果你让事情来烦扰你，那它们一定会烦扰你。但如果你选择微笑，你一定会感觉更好。研究表明挂一个大大的微笑在脸上能够刺激你大脑的一个部分，使你对现在和未来感到更开心和更乐观。

　　Also, feed your optimism² with positive reminders³. Write down short statements that inspire optimism. Put them in places where you’ll see them every day, such as on your bathroom mirror, the inside of your locker⁴, and on your computer monitor.

　　同样，用积极的提醒也可以提升你的乐观。写下一些短小的话语来激励你自己。把它们放在你每天都会看到的地方，比如卫生间的镜子上，柜子里，或是电脑显示器上。

　　下面就是一些供你参考的激励语：

　　“Anything is possible.”

　　“一切皆有可能。”

　　“Lead a life of positivity.”

　　“积极生活。”

　　“The only thing I can control is my attitude towards life.”

　　“我唯一能掌控的就是我对生活的态度。”

　　“I always have a choice.”

　　“我总有选择的余地。”

　　“Even the longest journey begins with a single step.”

　　“千里之行始于足下。”

　　“I will look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism shine.”

　　“我会看到每一件事情积极的一面，并让我的乐观情绪发光。”
