Smile in each moment 时刻保持微笑
There’s a tendency to get caught up in the tasks of our day, the urgency of what’s coming up, the distractions of being online.
如今存在一种趋势,我们被裹挟于每日的事务之中,无时无刻不在担心下一步将会发生什么,马上会出现什么令人分心的事情。
And we forget to smile.
我们忘记了微笑。
In the rush of the day, the stress of wanting things to happen a certain way, we lose the enjoyment of each moment.
在每天的匆忙中,承受着希望事情如我们所愿发生的压力,我们失去了享受每一个当下的愉悦。
In every moment, there’s the capacity for happiness. It’s not that we need to be ecstatic, full of pleasure, excited or even joyous each and every second of the day. Who needs that kind of pressure? And it’s not that we can never feel sadness or anger or stress. It’s that we can feel happiness, in some form, any moment we like, even in the midst of stress or sadness.
每一个当下都包含有幸福的可能。我们并不需要狂喜,内心充满喜悦、激动,甚至每一秒都愉悦不已。没有人需要这样的快乐。也并不是说我们可以永远远离悲伤或者愤怒或者压力的情绪。其实我们可以在每一个当下,以任意一种形式体会到快乐,即使当我们置身于压力之下或者悲伤之中。
And it’s exceedingly simple. We just need to remember to smile.
这实在太过简单,我们只要记住保持微笑就好。
You can smile in each and every moment.
你可以时刻保持微笑。
OK, maybe you don’t need a smile on your face all day long — your cheeks will feel tired. But we can smile more, and in between physical smiles, we can have an internal smile.
好吧,也许你并不需要成天在脸上挂着微笑,那样你的面颊会很累。但是你可以多笑一些,不仅是面部的微笑,我们还需要内在的微笑。
Try an internal smile now: have a calm, unsmiling face, but think of the miracle of this moment, and find a thought to smile about. Feel the smiling feeling inside. Isn’t that amazing?
现在就试着发自内心的微笑,保持平静,没有面部表情,但是想象当下这一刻的奇迹,找寻一个令你绽放笑容的想法,然后感受着来自内在的微笑,是不是感觉很棒?
What do you have to smile about in this moment?
当下这一刻,你缘何微笑?

And so on. You probably don’t have all of these, but you might have one or two, and if so, that’s a more than good enough cause to smile.
还有很多很多。你可能无法做完上述所有,但是你可以挑选1-2件来做,如果做了,你会发现这些事情不仅仅只是让你有足够的理由绽放笑容。
You’ll forget to smile in some moments, because your mind gets caught up in stories about the past, stresses about what might happen in the future. None of this is happening right now — it’s just movies playing in our heads.
你可能有时候会忘记微笑,因为你的心沉溺于过去的故事和未来即将发生的事情中。所有这些在当下这一刻都不存在,它们不过是你头脑里播放的电影。
Instead, remind yourself of what’s happening right now, and see the beauty in it, see the reason to smile. And then smile, externally and internally.
所以,你需要时刻谨记活在当下,从当下中发现美,发现让你微笑的理由,然后有内心发出面部的微笑。
This changes your day, because now instead of being caught up in stress and stories, we are present, and happy. We can be content with every moment.
这样做可以改变你的生活,因为你不再困在压力和编造的故事之中,我们活在当下,而且是快乐的。我们可以对自己生活里的每一刻都十分满足。
It changes your life, because too often we miss the smile-ability of life when we are not paying attention.
他一定能够改变你的生活,因为我们错过了太多笑容,这本是我们与生俱来却不曾注意到的能力。
