9. Snuggle Up
Get cuddly with a pet, a blanket, a favorite sweater….anything soft that you stroke with your fingertips. Just like Lenny in “Of Mice and Men”, most people find that they reach their “happy place” when touching something soft like fur or textiles. Scratching a dog or cat behind the ears can help to quickly lower your blood pressure…if there aren’t any pets allowed in your office, try carrying a lucky rabbit’s foot.
依偎
将任何手指感觉柔软的东西--小宠物,毯子,或是将最喜欢的毛衣紧紧搂着。就像《人鼠之间》的Lenny一样,大部分人在触摸到象动物皮毛或者针织品的时候,会觉得到达他们心里最柔软的地方。摸摸小狗或是小猫的耳背能快速降低血压......如果你办公室里不允许有宠物的话,可以试着带一个幸运兔的脚(美国流行文化中,相信兔子脚能给人带来好运,译者注)。
10. Chow Down
Eating or drinking helps to relax us. That’s why we give pacifiers to babies. Just try to make sure you’re making smart food choices (ie, choose a crunchy apple over a bag of potato chips).
大快朵颐
吃吃喝喝可以帮助我们放松,这也是我们为什么要给婴儿奶嘴。只是得确保你选对了东西(例如,应该选择脆脆的苹果,而不是薯片)。
