Make a Gratitude Visit
表达感激
Think of someone who has been especially kind to you but you have not properly thanked. Write a letter describing what he or she did and how it affected your life, and how you often remember the effort. Then arrange a meeting and read the letter aloud, in person.
回想一个对你特别好,但你还没有恰当地表示过感谢的人。写信描述他或她做了什么,那件事如何影响了你的生活,以及你如何经常想起这件事。然后安排和这个人见面,并当面大声念出这封信。
“It’s common that when people do the gratitude visit both people weep out of joy,”Dr. Seligman said. Why is the experience so powerful?“It puts you in better touch with other people, with your place in the world.”
“常见的情况是,当人们表达感激时,双方都高兴得直落泪,”塞利格曼说。这种经历为什么有这么强大的力量?“它会让你和他人的关系变得更好,让你找到自己在这个世界上的位置。”
