Mel: 本期节目探讨了八个基于最新研究的简单方法,可以帮助人们改善日常生活,例如:通过随机的善举提升幸福感;通过离心肌收缩减少健身时间并达到相同效果;通过聆听鸟叫声改善情绪;通过正念练习缓解焦虑;通过制定有效的学习计划提高学习效率;通过利用气味唤起积极回忆提升幸福感;通过允许自己拥有少量的小秘密增进亲密关系;以及通过善待自己提升整体幸福感。这些方法简单易行,并且有科学依据支持。 Tracy: 本期节目的研究结果表明,即使是很小的行为改变,也能对生活产生积极的影响。随机的善举能提升施予者和接受者的幸福感,我们往往低估了它的影响力。离心肌收缩,即运动的下半部分,每天只需三秒钟就能增强肌肉力量,减少健身时间。聆听鸟叫声能改善情绪长达八小时,这是一种有效的声波疗法。正念减压练习,例如感恩日记和身体扫描,能与服用药物达到同等的焦虑缓解效果。在学习方面,制定有效的学习计划并关闭手机能提高学习效率,单纯依靠意志力则无效。利用气味唤起积极回忆,可以提升幸福感。对亲密的人隐瞒一些琐碎的小秘密,并不会损害关系,反而可能增进亲密感。最重要的是,善待自己对幸福感、意义感和目标感有最大的积极影响。

In this episode, I am sharing 8 brand new studies and exciting new research about simple changes supported by science that can help you improve your day to day life, like…

 

How to cut your gym time IN HALF and still get the same benefits. 

 

The surprising sound researchers say will boost your mood for EIGHT hours. 

 

The research on how mindfulness reduces your anxiety by 30% -  the same as Lexapro.

 

And so much more

 

I’m also joined by Tracey, who leads our research and has helped me produce five #1 Audible Originals and all the science behind it. 

 

She’s found the studies; we are breaking them down together, and having a ball as we do.

Pull up a seat and let’s go.

 

Oh! And one more thing. As always, all of the research - and there’s a lot of it - is linked in the show notes at melrobbins.com/podcast). And if you want to watch a longer, unabridged version of this episode, visit my YouTube channel).
