不锻炼的我如何保持健康呢?
I Set an Alarm For Bed
设了提醒睡觉的闹钟It sounds freakishly regimented, I know. But think of it this way: most adults with full-time jobs are accustomed to setting an alarm to wake up, but our self-discipline goes out the window when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. After having a baby and surviving long bouts of torturous sleep deprivation, I realized that the kindest thing I can do for myself is get sleep while I can. For me, this means developing an early bedtime routine. Setting a 9 p.m. alarm is an easy reminder to step away from late-night traps of Netflix binging and online shopping. When the alarm goes off, I know I have an hour or so to shower, brush my teeth, slip into PJs, and settle into bed with a book, something that always puts me to sleep. Now I enjoy eight hours of sleep during weeknights and it's made me feel more vibrant, more productive, and happier during my workday.
这听起来很严格，我知道。但不妨这样想：大多数全职的成年人都习惯设置闹钟叫醒他们，但在晚上睡觉方面，我们却没有那么自律。生完宝宝并长期遭受睡眠被剥夺的痛苦折磨后，我意识到能为自己做的最好的事就是一有时间就睡觉。于我而言，这意味着要早点睡。设一个晚上9点响的闹钟能提醒自己不该再看电视或网上购物了，这样就不会熬夜。当闹钟停止，我知道我有一个小时左右的时间洗澡、刷牙、穿睡衣、拿本书上床，每次在床上看书我都能睡着。现在，每个工作日我都有8小时的睡眠时间，这让我在工作时更加精力充沛、更有成效也更快乐。
I Embrace Meditation Hacks
我享受冥想
I could pay $3 a day to park in the lot right next to my morning commuter train, dashing from my car to the train in a matter of seconds, but I don't. Instead, I pocket the money and park for free in the surrounding residential neighborhood and walk to the train station. Sure, it tacks on an extra 10 minutes to my morning commute, but I relish those minutes. I take in the beauty of the morning sky, listen to the birds, breathe in the brisk air, and just slow the f*ck down. No headphones, no email. It's the closest thing I have to a meditation practice. When I'm at work, I use the Breathe app on my Apple Watch as a reminder to take one minute between emails and meetings to just breathe deeply. I know this sounds ridiculous, but have you ever stopped to just breathe when you feel stress creeping up on you? If you have, you know it's shockingly effective.
我本可以每天付3美金将车停在靠近早班车的停车场旁，在几秒钟的时间内就从自家车换乘到火车上，但我并没有。我的钱仍乖乖的躺在我的口袋里，因为我把车停在了附近免费停车的住宅区、然后走到火车站。当然，这样我每天就会在上班路上多花10分钟，但在这10分钟内，我特别享受。我享受清晨湛蓝的天空、听鸟儿歌唱、呼吸着新鲜空气、只想放慢脚步。没有耳机、没有电子邮件。这是我做过的最接近冥想的事情。当我工作时，我使用苹果手表中的呼吸应用提醒我在邮件和各种会议中停下来深呼吸一分钟。我知道这听起来很荒诞，但你有没有尝试过在压力山大的时候停下来深呼吸呢？如果你曾尝试过，那你肯定知道这招非常有效。I Drink More Water - With Reusable Straws
我用可循环吸管喝更多的水There was a time when the sound of a colleague opening a can of Diet Coke sent me running to the kitchen to follow suit. But I've discovered that by adding a straw to my glass of water, I can suck the entire glass down without thinking. A miracle!
曾几何时，我一听到同事打开健怡可乐的声音就会冲向厨房自己也打开一罐。但我发现，用吸管喝水时，随便一吸就是一整杯水。真是奇迹！
