    Today’s world has us all running madly in every direction. We often feel overwhelmed with what’s before us. We are losing our joy of life; there is precious little fun and almost non-existent downtime in our lives today. We are masters at multi-tasking; we excel at doing. Perhaps, it’s time to rethink the ways we choose to have a life and the ways we choose to fill a life. Is that what you want? Here are five strategies to help you re-find the happiness, steadiness, and balance in your life:
【R1】______
    I don’t mean just "get out of bed or off the couch", but I mean "become m-i-n-d-f-u-1". Happiness studies tell us that being mindful is the number one factor in creating a happy life. If we are mindful, we can enjoy every moment. We are no longer robots or automatons beating down the hours as the days slip by.
【R2】______
    Choose one thing you will do differently. Commit to making that change every day for 30 days. What happens when you commit to yourself and you keep that commitment? You learn to trust yourself. We are very good at giving our word to our boss, our family, and our friends, but what about ourselves? Do we keep our promises to ourselves? Frequently, we do not. Thus, it becomes harder and harder to trust ourselves. If we want to be happier, we need to build up some energetic muscle tone and personal will power. We can achieve this by giving our word to ourselves. No matter how tiny the commitment we make, our faithfulness to ourselves creates a stream of well-being.
【R3】______
    To be happy and balanced, I suggest you allow yourself to re-find your center. May I suggest you take a few deep breath breaks during your day? You will bring yourself back to center, re-oxygenate your body, and tap into the here and now. Take at least one day off a week. Have a full non-work day when you can play, rest, relax, or just be a carefree person with no worries. We all need time to refill the well. If we run consistently, our ideas, energies, and creativity become compromised. Be inventive, and find revivifying ways to nurture your overworked self.
【R4】______
    Do you dance to the oldies in your living room? Do you like to create penguin cupcakes on your day off? Do you find great satisfaction in watering the garden and talking to the birds? What lights us up and turns us on is important. We all know that special and deep memories are helpful in living a happy life.
【R5】______
    It’s time to support our physical selves. Let’s begin slowly and work ourselves up to a more optimum way of being. Create some space and time to treat yourself well. Eat well and sensibly most of the time. Remember to have some protein with breakfast; limit sweets to after a meal; limit caffeine; and choose colorful, whole foods. You and your blood sugar will remain steadier and more stable throughout the day. Move your body in any way that makes you happy; regular physical activity is a definite biochemical boost to happiness and balance.
    Try these five strategies. They are proven techniques with big rewards. They cannot hurt, and they can clearly help.
【R1】
选项
答案G
解析 第一句“I don’t mean…，but I mean…”明显是对标题含义的解释，前半句解释标题可能带来的歧义，说明其字面含义与“起床”或者“从沙发上起来”相关；后半句说明标题的真正含义是指“要留意、关注周围的事物”。首句引出了全段的主题关键词mindful，余下各句围绕它展开论述。[G]wake up本意指“从睡眠中醒来”，也可指“开始留意周围的事物，在精神上苏醒”，是主题关键词的同义表达。
