2019,如何成就一个更好的自己

ILLUSTRATIONS BY RUOHAN WANG

1. Do it.去做

A recurring theme each year is that sex is important and we should all try to have it*. In a much-read Modern Love, Karin Jones shares what she learned by having affairs with married men: “What surprised me was that these husbands weren’t looking to have more sex. They were looking to have any sex.”

每年都会反复出现一个主题,那就是性很重要,我们都应该努力有性生活*。在一篇阅读量很高的“摩登情爱“(Modern Love)文章中,卡琳琼斯(Karin Jones)分享了她与已婚男子偷情所学到的:“让我吃惊的是,这些丈夫并不是想要更多的性生活,他们只是想要有性生活。”

Which isn’t to suggest that if you don’t have sex your partner will cheat, but just to confirm what we all basically know: Sex is good for humans (and their relationships).

这不是说如果没有性生活的话,你的伴侣就会出轨,只是在确认我们都基本已经知道的东西:性对人类有益(也对感情关系有益)。

2. Ask people about themselves.问问别人关于他们自己的事情

When talking to people IRL, take a tip from “Fresh Air” host Terry Gross and open with her preferred icebreaker: “Tell me about yourself.”

当你在现实生活中与他人聊天时,采取一下“新鲜空气“(Fresh Air)节目主持人特里格罗斯(Terry Gross)的小建议,用她喜欢的开场白打破僵局:“给我讲讲你的事吧。”

3. Less news = more happy.更少新闻=更多快乐

An Ohio man named Erik Hagerman took the idea of a news blackout to the extreme — he had avoided all of it since the 2016 election — but, as a result, he may be the one person on earth in 2018 who could say, “I’m emotionally healthier than I’ve ever felt.”

一位名叫埃里克哈格曼(Erik Hagerman)的男子将封锁消息的概念发挥到了极致——自从2016年大选后,他就完全没看过新闻了——但结果是,他可能是2018年地球上唯一一个可以说“我的情绪感觉比以往任何时候都更健康“的人。

While his approach is afforded by privilege and may even be morally questionable, as many pointed out, it could be healthy to limit your news consumption just a little. Even an annoyed friend of Mr. Hagerman, who had been banned from talking news in his presence, acknowledged, “It’s actually nice to not talk about politics.”
