II. Task-based reading

Your life is made up of all the little things we experience every day, and knowing how to find joy
in some of those little things is one of the easiest ways to let happiness slowly fill your cup. In
order for that to happen, you need to do two very simple things: Put yourself in such situations
that you can experience happiness there, and then find a way to savour (品味) the experience and
let it sink into you.
To put yourself in the position of experiencing happiness every day, Lahna Catalina, Ph.D., at the
University of California, San Francisco, recommends a way called “prioritizing ( 优 先 )
positivity”—organizing your day-to-day life purposely so that it contains situations which
naturally give rise to positive emotions. It involves both carving out ( 腾 出 ) time in your daily
routine to do things that you really love and heavily weighing the positive emotional
consequences of major life decisions, like taking a new job, and you will regularly find yourself.
Then how can we find a way to savour the happy experience and let it sink into you? Here is what

psychologist Rick Hanson, the author of Buddha’s Brain explains.
Let a good fact become a good experience.
Often we go through life and some good thing happens—a little thing, like we checked off an item
on our To Do List, we survived another day at work, the flowers are blooming, and so forth. Hey,
this is an opportunity to feel good. Don’t leave money lying on the table: Recognize that this is an
opportunity to let yourself truly feel good.
Really enjoy this positive experience.
Practice what any school teacher knows: If you want to help people learn something, make it as
intense (强烈的) as possible—in this case, as felt in the body as possible—for as long as possible.
When sinking into this experience, sense your intention that this experience is sinking into you.
Sometimes people do this through visualization (想象), like by sensing a golden light coming into
themselves or a soothing balm (安抚剂) inside themselves. You might imagine a jewel going into
the treasure chest in your heart—or just know that this experience is sinking into you, becoming a
resource you can take with you no matter where you go.
It might seem a little cliche (陈词滥调) to say “stop and smell the roses”, but it’s moments like
those that can be stored in your happiness bank and withdrawn (取出) later. Living a happy life is
no more complicated than accepting the happiness that’s already around you. If you want more,
it’s OK to go out and achieve it, but don’t forget where happiness really comes from.
