1. Find What You're Grateful For

想想让你感激的人或事

xiǎng xiǎng ràng nǐ gǎn jī de rén huò shì

The real uncertainty we face about our economic future can make us quite fearful and sad. Locating those things for which we can still be grateful, brings joy even in the face of those challenges without pretending they are not real.

我们所面临的经济生活不稳定会让我们很担心很难过，想想那些让我们心存感激之情的人或事，会给我们带来欢乐，就算有困难挑战也无所谓，我们有足够勇气面对，不用假装它们不存在。

wǒ men suǒ miàn lín de jīng jì shēng huó bú wěn dìng huì ràng wǒ men hěn dān xīn hěn nán guò ，xiǎng xiǎng nà xiē ràng wǒ men xīn cún gǎn jī zhī qíng de rén huò shì ，huì gěi wǒ men dài lái huān lè ，jiù suàn yǒu kùn nán tiāo zhàn yě wú suǒ wèi ，wǒ men yǒu zú gòu yǒng qì miàn duì ，bú yòng jiǎ zhuāng tā men bú cún zài 。

2. Articulate It

说出你的感谢

shuō chū nǐ de gǎn xiè

Tell a friend or loved one a story about something for which you are grateful. Don’t be surprised to find yourself smiling by the end of that story.

跟朋友或者爱人说说你感激的故事，说完你会发现自己在微笑，别惊讶，这就是感激的魔力。

gēn péng yǒu huò zhě ài rén shuō shuō nǐ gǎn jī de gù shì ，shuō wán nǐ huì fā xiàn zì jǐ zài wēi xiào ，bié jīng yà ，zhè jiù shì gǎn jī de mó lì 。

3.There's Always More to Be Grateful For

总是有很多值得感谢的人或事

zǒng shì yǒu hěn duō zhí dé gǎn xiè de rén huò shì

Consider the difference between wealth and value. While material wealth is important, it is not the only source of real value in our lives. We can all celebrate value, even when the material wealth in our lives is taking a beating.

想想财富和价值之间的差异。物质财富很重要，不过它并不是我们生活中真正价值的唯一来源。就算生活中的物质财富遭受了打击，我们也还能庆祝生命的价值。

xiǎng xiǎng cái fù hé jià zhí zhī jiān de chà yì 。wù zhì cái fù hěn zhòng yào ，bú guò tā bìng bú shì wǒ men shēng huó zhōng zhēn zhèng jià zhí de wéi yī lái yuán 。jiù suàn shēng huó zhōng de wù zhì cái fù zāo shòu le dǎ jī ，wǒ men yě hái néng qìng zhù shēng mìng de jià zhí 。

4. Wealth Begins Within

我们其实很富有

wǒ men qí shí hěn fù yǒu

An ancient rabbinic teaching reminds us that we are wealthy when we are happy with what we possess.

古老的谚语提醒着我们，因为所拥有的东西感到快乐，我们也可以很富有。

gǔ lǎo de yàn yǔ tí xǐng zhe wǒ men ，yīn wéi suǒ yōng yǒu de dōng xī gǎn dào kuài lè ，wǒ men yě kě yǐ hěn fù yǒu 。

5.Happiness and Satisfaction Are Different

快乐和满意不一样

kuài lè hé mǎn yì bú yī yàng

We can want more than we currently have and still be happy with what we've got. Wanting more does not have to get in the way of enjoying what we already have. If it does, we will never have enough.

我们现在拥有，我们想要的更多，我们也会因为现在的拥有而感到快乐。想要更多，并不会阻碍我们享受现在已有的东西。如果你无法享受现在的拥有，那你永远也不会满足。

wǒ men xiàn zài yōng yǒu ，wǒ men xiǎng yào de gèng duō ，wǒ men yě huì yīn wéi xiàn zài de yōng yǒu ér gǎn dào kuài lè 。xiǎng yào gèng duō ，bìng bú huì zǔ ài wǒ men xiǎng shòu xiàn zài yǐ yǒu de dōng xī 。rú guǒ nǐ wú fǎ xiǎng shòu xiàn zài de yōng yǒu ，nà nǐ yǒng yuǎn yě bú huì mǎn zú 。

6. It's All Relative

一切都是相对的

yī qiē dōu shì xiàng duì de

A person who lives in a $100,000 house in a neighborhood of $75,000 homes experiences living in a mansion. The same house in a neighborhood of $500,000 homes may feel like a hovel.

在7.5万美元的小区里，住着10万美元房子的人会觉得自己住的是别墅；同样的房子换到50万美元的小区里，他会觉得自己住的是茅舍。

zài 7.5wàn měi yuán de xiǎo qū lǐ ，zhù zhe 10wàn měi yuán fáng zǐ de rén huì jiào dé zì jǐ zhù de shì bié shù ；tóng yàng de fáng zǐ huàn dào 50wàn měi yuán de xiǎo qū lǐ ，tā huì jiào dé zì jǐ zhù de shì máo shě 。

7. Help yourself by Helping Others

帮助别人其实也是帮助自己

bāng zhù bié rén qí shí yě shì bāng zhù zì jǐ

The holidays are a great time to reach out to other people in need. And helping others address their needs is one of the best ways to relieve the anxiety we may feel about our own.

节假日是向其他需要帮助的人伸出援手的好机会。帮助他们，满足他们的需要，也是缓解我们自身焦虑最好的方法之一。

jiē jiǎ rì shì xiàng qí tā xū yào bāng zhù de rén shēn chū yuán shǒu de hǎo jī huì 。bāng zhù tā men ，mǎn zú tā men de xū yào ，yě shì huǎn jiě wǒ men zì shēn jiāo lǜ zuì hǎo de fāng fǎ zhī yī 。

8. We All Have Something to Give

我们总是有东西可以给予

wǒ men zǒng shì yǒu dōng xī kě yǐ gěi yǔ

No matter how difficult our circumstances may be, we can all offer support to those around us. Whether it’s a penny, a dollar, or much more, the act of giving always makes us feel as if we have more than we thought we had.

也许我们的境况很艰难，可是不管怎么样，我们都还是能支持身边的人，也许只是一点点钱，可是这样给予的过程会让我们感到，我们其实拥有很多。

yě xǔ wǒ men de jìng kuàng hěn jiān nán ，kě shì bú guǎn zěn me yàng ，wǒ men dōu hái shì néng zhī chí shēn biān de rén ，yě xǔ zhī shì yī diǎn diǎn qián ，kě shì zhè yàng gěi yǔ de guò chéng huì ràng wǒ men gǎn dào ，wǒ men qí shí yōng yǒu hěn duō 。
