一生受益: 极简生活的6个好习惯
1. Slow down. Usually health starts failing because you’re going too fast. We tend to think that we’ll get healthier by going faster, but I’ve found the opposite is true. We run all day, and this makes us tired. When we’re tired we tend to eat worse, and we want to drink, this is a vicious cycle. Health and rest are intertwined. Stop moving so fast before everything else can begin.
1. 放慢速度。通常健康之所垮掉是因为你的节奏太快。我们通常认为节奏越快，我们会变得更健康，但是我发现慢节奏才是。我们每天都会跑步，这使得我们很很累。当我们很累时，我们会暴饮暴食，这就形成了一个恶性循环。健康和休息是错综复杂的。在我们行动之前放慢脚步吧。
2. Disconnect. It’s incredibly hard to stretch for an hour if you’re checking Twitter every five minutes. Turn off the computer, turn off the smart phone, before you move to the other steps. Communication cracks out your mind when you’re constantly plugged in and makes it difficult to concentrate developing good health.
2。与外部断开联系 如果你每五分钟查一次微博，要抽出一小时来运动就会变得极为艰难。在下一步行动之前，关掉电脑，关掉手机。当你经常开机时，沟通会影响你的心智，使得你很难集中精力去保持健康。
3. Take the time to begin eating right again. Good food is a commitment, one it takes time to fulfill. The worst food is also the easiest to consume quickly. Dedicate an hour for each meal, start to finish. Create each meal with fresh and raw ingredients that we’re just purchased from the market.
3. 花时间来正确饮食 好食物是一个保证，你必须花时间去实现。最糟糕的食物也就是能迅速吃到的食物。从开始到结束，每餐都花上一小时。用我们刚从市场买来的食材来精心准备每一餐。
4. Walk to and from the market before meals. I know this isn’t possible everywhere, but I find that it helps me focus on what my body needs and gets my body active. You can’t always plan ahead for what your body will need for dinner. Be conscious of what your body is telling you to eat, sometimes it might want something you don’t have in the fridge.
4. 在每餐前步行去买菜。我知道这并不适用于每一个地方，但是我发现它能帮助我意识到我身体所需什么且使我身体充满活力。你不能每次都提前计划好晚餐时你的身体所需什么。意识到你身体告诉给你他需要什么这些信息，有时候你身体可能会想要一些你冰箱里没有的食物。
5. Take the time to stretch. Not everyone is like this, some people are gumby. But I’ve found that stretching is one of the most effective ways to improve my health. Set aside one-two hours a day for calm relaxed stretching positions — don’t force anything, listen to your body’s needs. Mine needs an hour of stretching today, I can hear it. Start slow with forward bends and calf stretches, move on to pigeon pose and plow at the end.
5花时间去运动。并不是每一个人都喜欢这样，有些人会……但是我发现运动是增强体质的最有效地方法。每天花一两小时来运动。开始时缓慢的前倾伸展和小腿伸展，然后摆出鸽子的姿势再是犁头的姿势。
6. Only then move to intense exercise. I often fail if I try to exercise without first doing the above. Slowness, food, and stretching are the basis for everything that comes after. If food is hard, only focus on that. If stretching is hard, only focus on that. Everyone has their favorite method of strengthening their bodies and burning calories. I stick with Yoga and biking, you may like running and acrobatics.
It’s easier to injure or burn yourself out without first slowing down, eating right, and stretching. Start with foundation for good health before hitting the hard stuff.
6 这样之后再做剧烈运动。如果我首先没有做上面那些准备活动的话，我经常都会失败告终。缓慢速度，饮食和都是运动是后面一切的基础。如果很难控制饮食的话，那就好好注意那一部分。如果很难坚持运动的话，就只注意那一部分。每一个人都有其喜欢的方法来伸展身体和燃烧卡路里。我喜欢伽和骑自行车，而你可能喜欢跑步和杂技。
如果开始时不放慢速度，正确饮食和伸展身体的话，很容易会伤害或是灼伤你自己。在命中那之前好好打好健康的根基。
