Create a happiness habit
培养快乐的习惯

Remember, the key to creating happiness is to train your brain. Research shows we can do it. Now it's up to you.
记住，创造快乐的关键是训练你的大脑。研究表明，这是可以做到的。要不要做，就要看你的了。

Start by creating new habits -- two or three to begin with -- that will be just as hard to break as any other habit. And do them for at least 21 days straight.
首先，培养新的习惯，开始时可以是两、三个，这些习惯可以和其他习惯一样难以打破。习惯至少要坚持21天。

If you encounter little roadblocks to your daily practice, then engage your brain. Find ways to make it easier to start the new habit. For instance, try putting that journal on your nightstand where it's the last thing you see as you end the day.
如果你在每日坚持习惯上面临小小的障碍，那么动动脑筋。找找看有什么更加容易的方法可以让你开始新的习惯。比如，试着把你的日记放在床头，每天睡觉之前看到的最后一件东西就是它。

Happiness might seem tough to achieve in today's world. But if we train our brain with just 15 minutes a day, we can achieve not only a better outlook on life, but have a positive effect on the most important parts of our lives -- our work, our health and the people we care about.
在当今世界上，快乐可能看起来难以实现。不过，我们只要每天花15分钟来训练大脑，就能不但对生活有了更积极的看法，还会对我们生活中最重要的部分──工作、健康和我们所在意的人带来积极影响。
