Four Well-being Workouts
(2019苏州高新区)
Relieving stress and anxiety might help you feel better—for a bit. Martin E.P.Seligman, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, explored how well-being consists  not merely of feeling happy, an emotion that can be momentary, but of experiencing a sense of  contentment in the knowledge that your life is colorful and has meaning beyond your own
pleasure. To cultivate it, he suggests these four exercises.
Write down a story about a time when you were at your best. It doesn't need to be a life- changing event but should have a clear beginning, middle and end. Reread it every day for a  week, and each time ask yourself some questions. Writing down the answers  "puts you in  touch with what you're good at,"Dr. Seligman explained. The next step is to consider how to  use these strengths to your advantage, intentionally organizing and structuring your life around  them."A week later, a month later,  six months later, people had on average lower rates of depression  and  higher  life  satisfaction,”Dr.  Seligman  said."Possible  mechanisms  could  be more positive emotions. People like you more, relationships go better, life goes better."
Set aside 10 minutes before you go to bed each night to write down three things that went really  well  that  day.  Next  to  each  event  answer  the  question,"Why  did  this  good  thing
happen?"
Instead of focusing on life's lows, which can increase the likelihood of depression, the  exercise"turns your attention to the good things in life, so it changes what you attend to,"Dr.  Seligman said."Consciousness is like your tongue: It rolls around in the mouth looking for a  cavity, and when it finds it, you focus on it. Imagine if your tongue went looking for a beautiful,
healthy  tooth."Polish  it.
Think of someone who has been especially kind to you but you have not properly thanked. Write a letter describing what he or she did and how it affected your life, and how you often  remember the effort. Then arrange a meeting and read the letter aloud, in person."It's common that when people do the gratitude visit both people weep out of joy,"Dr. Seligman said. Why is the experience so powerful?"It puts you in better touch with other people, with your place in the  world."
Responding   constructively   was   inspired   by   the   work   of  Shelly   Gable,   a   social psychologist  at  the  University  of  California,  Santa  Barbara,  who  has  extensively  studied marriages and other close relationships. The next time someone you care about shares good news, give what Dr. Gable calls an "active constructive response."That is, instead of saying something passive, express real excitement. Extend the discussion by, say, encouraging them to tell others or suggest a celebratory activity.
So, the most effective long-term strategy for well-being is to actively cultivate well-being rather than only focus on how to relieve depression, anger and worry.
