　　以下五件事情可以确保你活得精彩。

　　1. Create art, even if you're not an artist! Art comes in many forms. Art could be decorating your home, cooking meals and gardening.

　　1、创造艺术，即便你不是艺术家。艺术的形式多种多样。艺术可以是装饰你的家园、煮饭做菜和园艺。

　　3. Love boldly. Do something special, make others feel important.

　　3、大胆去爱。做些特别的事情，让别人感到自己的重要性。

　　4. Play more! It sounds easy; but is it really easy to set aside time just for fun when deadlines loom, and your phone keeps you alert to the fact that you have a very busy day ahead? Play is essential to your health and well-being. Get outside, chase your kids around, go dancing, watch a comedy act.

　　4、多玩!说起来容易，但当截止日期却步步临近、手机又不断提醒你接下来又是繁忙的一天时，真的让你匀出时间玩又谈何容易?玩乐对身心健康至关重要。去户外、和孩子追逐打闹、去跳舞、去看看喜剧吧。

　　5. Create margin. Create space in your day for the unexpected and space just to breathe.

　　5、留白。一天中给意外留点时间和空间，透透气儿。

　　Finding a bit of time each day to incorporate these simple ideas. It's time to regain control of your life, it's time to thrive!
