大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【恢复能量】的话题。大家有没有这样的经历？有时候会觉得情绪低落，做什么都打不起精神来。这种情绪可能只是短暂的，这里有一些方法可以帮助你恢复能量。
有几件恢复能量的小事。第一件，和植物待一会。无论街边的树，家里的绿植，还是野外的花，都会让你感受到植物的宁静和能量。
第二件，向上看，再向上看。人类在向上看时会产生愉悦感。我们看向云朵，看向天空，眼光瞬间开阔。
第三件，自己待4分33秒。可以是家、公司、公园，闭上眼睛，打开计时器，倒数4分33秒，明显会放松，让人恢复力量。
第四件，轻松洗个澡。不管多么烦恼和焦虑，洗完澡好像坏心情通通不见了，格外舒展。
其实幸福来自小事，顺境中善待别人，逆境中善待自己。罗曼罗兰说：“这世界只有一种真正的英雄主义，那就是在看清生活的真相之后依然热爱生活。”加油。
希望这些方法对你能有所帮助，情绪低落的时候就试试吧。我们下期见。

Today, I came across a wedding vow that resonated my thoughts exactly. As an ambitious person, I believe that one must fulfill personal goals before marriage. It is because marriage is a team effort and both individuals must grow before even tying the knot. I will be sharing a love story that started 14 years ago.
