你的成熟指數多少？
Do you think there is a certain age at
which maturity sets in? Could it be 20? 40? 70? In my personal experiences,
I’ve observed that age has little or nothing to do with it. I have met young
people who are mature well beyond their years, and I’ve known older folks who
act childish, only thinking about themselves. So the question is: What are the
character traits that show maturity? And do “mature” people exhibit them 100%
of the time?
1. Realizing how much you don’t know.
2. Listening more and talking less.
3. Being aware and considerate of others as
opposed to being self-absorbed, self-centered, and inconsiderate.
4. Not taking everything personally,
getting easily offended, or feeling the need to defend, prove, or make excuses
for yourself.
5. Being grateful and gracious, not
complaining.
6. Taking responsibility for your own
health and happiness, not relying on others to “fix” you or placing blame for
your circumstances.
7. Having forgiveness and compassion for
yourself and others.
8. Being calm and peaceful, not desperate,
frantic, or irrational.
9. Showing flexibility and openness as
opposed to resisting, controlling, or being unreasonable.
10. Helping yourself, not just expecting
others to do it for you out of a sense of entitlement.
11. Doing good deeds even when there is
nothing in it for you other than knowing you helped, being selfless.
12. Respecting another’s point of view,
beliefs, and way of life without judgment, not insisting you are right,
belittling another, or using profanity or violence to get your point across.
13. Sharing your good fortune with others.
14. Being able to turn the other cheek
without wishing harm on another.
15. Thinking before acting and having good
manners, not going off half-cocked, lashing out, or being rude.
16. Encouraging and being supportive of
others.
17. Finding joy in the success of someone
else, not envy or criticism.
18. Knowing there is always room to grow
and improve and reaching out for help.
19. Having humility and laughing at yourself.
22. Accepting, liking, and loving yourself,
not needing someone else to “complete” you.
23. Standing up for fairness and justice
for yourself and others and choosing to do the right thing.
24. Making sacrifices for the good of
others without resentment.
25. Not clinging to materialistic items or
bragging.

Mood Food: Can What You Eat Affect Your
Happiness? healthline.com
You know that if you eat a sweet snack,
such as a candy bar or a sugary donut, you'll get a spike of energy, soon
followed by a crashing low. Sugar highs and lows are just one of the many ways
food can affect how you feel.
But have you ever considered which eating
habits and specific foods might help you to feel happier and more energized?
Recent research helps illuminate the role food plays in influencing your mood.
There's more to mood maintenance than
eating the right foods. The framework for good mood hygiene begins with
implementing some basic nutrition strategies:
Eat often enough
According to research published by the
University of Illinois Extension, eating regular meals and snacks at the same
times every day helps keep your blood sugar levels steady. Eating at regular
intervals helps to ensure that your body has a continuous source of fuel, and
this may assist in keeping your mood stable. If you feel like your blood sugar
might be dipping frequently, talk to your doctor. This could be a sign of
hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is a health condition that causes people to need to
eat frequently.
Don’t skip meals
Though it may be tempting to rush out the
door without breakfast, the Mayo Clinic says that this is a bad idea. Skipping
meals actually makes your body less able to assimilate food, and you are more
liable to overeat at the next meal. If you keep yourself from getting too
hungry, you may be able to avoid a bad mood.
Know what to avoid
Before you can eat mood-boosting foods,
it's important to know which foods to leave off, or limit, on your shopping
list. The biggest bad mood culprits are refined carbohydrates, such as sugar.
The simple sugars that are in junk foods, such as candy and soda, as well as in
everyday foods, such as fruit juice, syrup, and jams, can cause your blood
sugar to go up and down like a rollercoaster. Refined white starches such as
white rice, white bread, and crackers can have the same effect. The Cleveland
Clinic warns that junk foods may satisfy your taste buds, but they probably
won’t help your mood.
Blood sugar spikes and drops can leave you
with a short-lived burst of energy followed by a tired, cranky feeling. For
best mood results, you should also limit alcohol, since it's a depressant and
can disturb your sleep.
Here are some of the best foods to eat to
stay healthy and happy:
Protein
Adding protein to your meals can help slow
the absorption of carbohydrates in your blood and increase the release of
dopamine and norepinephrine, which may improve your mood and energy for several
hours after eating. Try adding these smart protein choices to your diet:
eggs
poultry
seafood
tofu
low-fat Greek yogurt
Vitamins
There are a few specific vitamins that may
be helpful for mood. For example, vitamin D may help relieve mood disorders, such
as seasonal affective disorder. Sunlight, before sunscreen application, is
often the best source. To get your daily dose of vitamin D, you can also try
the following foods. Many doctors recommend adding a multivitamin that contains
vitamin D as well.
low-fat milk
egg yolks
soymilk
