奇蒙子(心情)爽,就對了 Feeling Great
     快樂是一種本能。小時候我們只要有一顆糖、一個玩具、一隻小狗,就能讓我們感到喜悅、開心、爽!但長大後,快樂變難了。考試一百分、和朋友去流浪、跟心儀的對象說愛我……,似乎就是快樂,但都不會持續太久。不知不覺間,我們和快樂疏遠了,快樂變成一個需要學習的課題,與努力追求的目標。到底是哪裡變了呢?社會的期待多了,父母的要求高了,生活環境變複雜了,人心變得難相處了,還是自己的欲望變大了?難道越長越大,快樂只會越遠?不是的,開心、快樂其實就像跟蹤狂一樣,一直跟在我們身邊,探頭探腦,只要我們放開心胸,鬆開試圖掌控的雙手,珍惜擁有的小確幸,快樂就會不請自來的。一個快樂的人,是一位獨一無二的人,他不在乎別人想什麼,只按照自己的方式,做自己想做的事。一個快樂的人,是一位能夠接納一切的人,是笑,是說話,是思考,是活著……,都是我們活在世上的樣子。其實,要開心、要爽,超級簡單,只要做我們真正想要做的事就好,永遠不要奢望世界來回應我們,只要我們爽了,世界就爽了。
     從海上看沙灘,我們似乎能理解地上的人,有多麼熱愛世界。同樣地,隨時隨地的喜樂,是我們開心的每一瞬間,讓我們暫時忘了手機吧,專注於此時此刻,用我們的感官,去體驗眼前真實的事物,珍惜與家人或朋友共渡的時光,然後,我們會發現,每天捕捉我們自己認為不可思議的事,或感動的事,就是大方展現爽快的人生哲學。我們每個人,都有按照自己喜歡的方式生活的權利。讓我們相信一切的煩憂,都會過去,一切的夢想,都會成真,努力做我們自己能控制的事,並做我們自己內心感覺應該做的事,那將會是人生最爽的事。生活中,有很多新鮮感和熱情,我們如能去體會興奮的感覺,真爽!
    然而,要找到自己想做什麼,一直都不是件簡單的事,我們要多多觀察自己,把注意力放回自己身上。人生會有許多意外,我們會面臨生老病死,這些事我們都沒有能力去掌控,但我們能去找到自己喜歡的事,卻完全在我們的掌控範圍之內。日子漫長,興趣會改變、熱情會降溫,重要的是,在慢慢歲月中,我們能否發現自己存在的意義與價值呢?在我們的生命中,一定有著不幸,如何永遠開心、爽快呢?如果我們想要一直快樂,就要學著不去計較不幸,不去追尋別人的目標,不必認為幸福需要工作二十年,或是幸福就是要買一輛好車。我們在兒童或青少年時,都還知道自己想要什麼。可是,隨著我們長大,遇到許多看不見的阻礙:理智、常識、別人的意見、社會對好壞的看法等,我們漸漸地隨波逐流,越來越不在意自己內心的渴望,而開始去相信我們根本就不想要的需求,像是錢、房子、車子……等了。除了外在的物質外,我們內心還會說服自己符合世故的心態,例如,令人尊敬的工作、高高在上的社會地位、名聲、成功等。當然,所有事情,都有優、缺點。擁有一輛車,能夠提供方便,何樂而不為?但如果沒有,我們也一樣開心,那麼為什麼一定要有呢?如果事物與我們自己的開心沒關係,那又何必強求呢?我們都忘了,只有我們自己,才知道我們要的開心是什麼,其他人、其他事,一點關係都沒有。開心,不只是有飯吃,有溫暖的地方住,有舒服、遮風避雨的場所,我們需要的是與別人分享、自由、愛與被愛。我們需要去嘗試,去經歷,去感覺,如此,我們所達成的夢想,才是別人無法偷走的。
     凡事,我們都要讓心情放鬆,慢慢來,不要有喧囂嘈雜的聲音,蓋過我們心裡真正的嚮往,我們要保持開放的心,對自己寬容,時時問自己,是什麼事,就算沒有人付錢,沒有他人的掌聲,我們仍然是願意去做的呢?我們先不要那麼快去計較利弊得失,追求實際的成果,我們要讓自己單純在投入這樣的事情,並從中獲得滿足。重點是,我們要放輕鬆,順著自己的心意,追求自己真正想要的生活,而不是社會期望我們的身份、階級、與年齡應該過的生活。再者,我們要讓我們的興奮感,有實際付出的行動,這樣,才會成辦,才能真爽!我們要覺得做事情很有趣,而且非常投入在其中,並能將它做得很好,進而從中獲得成就感,這樣,我們就會覺得超爽!
     我們要做自己生命的設計師。當我們非常專注地工作,且忘我時,我們真的會感到興奮、擁有成就感,也不再被時間約束,喜歡按自己的節奏工作,這就是我們真正在做自己喜歡的事。我們需要很認真的關注自己,也要對自己誠實,把自己最喜歡做的事,用詳細的方式記錄下來,而不是只有一個「大概」的感覺而已。久而久之,我們就會實現自己理想的工作。當然,有時候,工作很難完全只做自己喜歡的部分,但我們可以盡量的讓那些不喜歡的工作,只占10%,甚至更低的比例,而把更多的心思,放在自己真正喜歡做的事上面。我們要對自己有信心,相信自己一定能一直做著喜歡的事,持續的發光發熱,利人利己。
     Feeling great often comes from within. We have to learn how to tame negative thoughts and approach every day with optimism. Feeling great isn’t something that just happens to us. Everyone has the power to make small changes in our behavior, our surroundings and our relationships that can help us set on course for a happier life. Research shows that writing a personal journal for 15 minutes a day can lead to a boost in overall feeling great because it allows us to express our emotions, be mindful of our circumstances and resolve inner conflicts. We all have a personal narrative that shapes our views of the world and ourselves. But sometimes our inner voice doesn’t get it right. By writing and then editing our own stories, we can change our perceptions and identify obstacles that stand in the way of our personal well-being.
     Optimism is part genetic, part learned. An optimist would acknowledge the challenge in a more hopeful way, saying, “This is going to be difficult, but it’s a chance to rethink my life goals and find work that truly makes me happy.” And optimism can be infectious. So, we have to hang out with optimistic people. Happy people always live with purpose. They find joy in lasting relationships, working toward their goals, and living according to their values. The happy person is not enamored (迷戀) with material goods or luxury vacations. He/She is fine with the simple pleasures of life, such as petting a dog, sitting under a tree and enjoying a cup of tea. He/She is open to learning new things, is high in humility and patience, is often grateful, practices compassion, exercises self-care, and enjoys healthy relationships. Expressing gratitude is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to instantly feel great. Grateful people are happy people because they notice all the good in their lives, and are less likely to compare themselves with others. Taking care of our bodies through exercise, nutrition and stress management would lead us to better mental health, and in turn, feeling so great.
Besides, studies show that doing kind things for others is also an important path to feel great. When we aim to make others happier, we feel connected to them. In other words, if we think another person is feeling pretty good, that’s also enough for us to feel pretty good ourselves. Feeling great is found in helping others. It is not, actually, how much we give, but how much love we put into giving. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver and more satisfying for the giver than the gift of money. So, we don’t have the same amount of money, but we all have time on our hands to help others. The happiest people are those with the closest, loving, reciprocal relationships with family members and friends. In fact, they do provide love, support, fun, comfort, entertainment, a listening ear, an adventure buddy and so much more to us. Therefore, building close relationships is foundational to feel great. Feeling great isn’t about what happens to us, but how we deal with it. The good life is forged (打造) from precisely the things that we make it so great. Hence, let’s choose to feel great and be happier, starting right now.
