雙語：四個小技巧，讓你克服"週一憂鬱症"

如果按照開心程度給一週中的每天排序，星期一大概會排在倒數第一。

對大部分打工人和學生黨來說，星期一或許是最難熬的一天。它意味着快樂的週末已經結束，新一週的工作學習纔剛剛開始。

悠閒放鬆的假日過後，面對滿滿當當的會議日程和課表，我們難免會有些力不從心。

但歡樂的時光總是那麼短暫，星期一總會如期而至。既然無法逃避，那就勇敢面對吧！

下面四個小技巧可以助你擺脫頹廢和迷茫的狀態，元氣滿滿迎接新一週~

列一張清單，寫下你這周的期待

Instead of focusing on the mundane or difficult tasks that lay ahead of you, think about all the good to come. Make a list by writing out some things that you are currently looking forward to. A good place to start is to think of one thing you are excited about for each category: at work, after work, and at the weekend. If it’s hard to come up with three things to look forward to, get planning ASAP! We’re not talking about anything extravagant, just simple things that uplift you like meeting a friend for coffee.

與其把注意力都放在你面前單調困難的任務上，不如想想開心的事情。寫下你現在期待做的事，列一個清單。可以想一想，在工作時、下班後和週末這些時段分別讓你感到高興的一件事。如果很難想出三件值得期待的事情，那就儘快去創造一些吧！我們說的並不是什麼奢侈的事情，只是一些會讓你振奮精神的平常事，比如和朋友一起喝咖啡。

週日晚間保證充足的睡眠

Sleep has a tremendous effect on our mood. According to Harvard Medical School, “poor or inadequate sleep can cause irritability and stress, while healthy sleep can enhance well-being.”

睡眠對我們的情緒有着巨大的影響。哈佛大學醫學院稱：“睡眠不足或睡眠質量差會導致易怒和壓力，而健康的睡眠則能增強幸福感。”

So, if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer. Take a nap to energize or get to bed earlier tonight to make up for lost sleep. It’s worth taking this into account on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning.

因此，如果你發現自己比平時脾氣暴躁，可能需要多睡覺。小睡一會兒，養精蓄銳，或者今晚早點上牀睡覺，補補覺。爲了避免星期一早上精力不足，週日晚上應該早點睡。

穿你喜歡的衣服

Though this may seem trivial, don’t underestimate the power of an outfit. In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low. In short, what better day than a Monday to wear what makes you feel great!

儘管這看起來是微乎其微的小細節，但不要低估一套衣服的力量。事實上，心理學家總結，衣服和情緒之間的密切聯繫表明，我們應該穿着讓人心情愉悅的衣服，即使在情緒低落的時候，也應該這麼穿。簡言之，沒有哪天比星期一更適合穿上讓你感覺良好的衣服！

輕鬆的日程安排

After a weekend of fun and taking it easy, it might be best to keep Monday’s schedule a little lighter than other days. This doesn’t mean sitting around and drowning in your blues. It means that instead of facing the most complicated stuff on a Monday, put some time into the easier tasks. Diminish Monday Blues and any anxiety or stress by allowing yourself to do Monday with more ease. Putting less pressure on yourself is a good way to beat the Monday Blues.

在度過一個輕鬆愉快的週末後，星期一的日程安排最好比其他時間輕鬆一點。這並不意味着悶悶不樂地呆坐一天。與其在星期一處理最複雜的工作，不如在這一天處理比較簡單的任務。讓自己更輕鬆地度過週一，減少週一的憂鬱、焦慮或壓力。給自己減壓是戰勝憂鬱星期一的好方法。
