　　France

　　法国

　　"When I come home from a stressful day, I relax with a petit aperitif—the French ceremony of having a small glass of wine with a side of cashew nuts or pita chips with hummus and olives. Then I'm ready to cook dinner!" —Ingrid Jackel, CEO of Physicians Formula; Toulouse

　　“当我结束紧张的一天回到家，我会用一小杯开胃酒让自己放松。法式仪式是一小杯红酒配上一点腰果或皮塔饼，再加点鹰嘴豆沙和橄榄。然后我就可以准备做晚餐啦!”——Ingrid Jacke， 法国图卢兹，美容品牌Physicians Formula公司CEO。

　　What you can do: "Wine is a relaxant, that's true, but more important is having a ritual to separate the chaos of work from the comfort of home," Domar says. Any ritual you look forward to will do the trick, whether you wash up and change into sweats or zone out with a game of Words with Friends.

　　你可以做的是：“红酒可以帮你放松，这没错，但更重要的是要有一个例行仪式，把工作的混乱和家庭的舒适分隔开，”Domar 说。任何你期望的仪式都有这种作用，不论是洗个澡换上卫衣还是玩一会儿填字游戏。

　　Russia

　　俄罗斯

　　"Russians go to the banya, a hot sauna, and since moving here I do that, too. The daily stress level is high and work is constant. Just sitting in the extreme heat to sweat is a miracle invention to salve the soul." —Amanda Lynn Hinson, 35, writer; Khabarovsk

　　“俄罗斯人会去蒸桑拿，自从搬来这里我也这样做。每天压力都很大，总有做不完的工作。坐在高温里流汗是一种让灵魂放松的神奇发明。”——Amanda Lynn Hinson, 35岁，哈巴罗夫斯克，作家。

　　What you can do: Hit the shower—and make it a warm one. Just a few minutes can wash away tension, and it's not just the feel of pulsating water on your skin: Research from Yale University indicates that the enveloping warmth you get from a hot shower can trigger brain and body responses that mirror emotional warmth, boosting your mood. Just get out after 10 minutes to avoid drying skin.

　　你可以做的是：洗个热水澡。只需要几分钟就可以冲走紧张，这不只是水流冲击皮肤的感觉：耶鲁大学的一项研究表明，你从一个热水澡中获得的热度，可以刺激大脑和身体反射情绪热度的反应，提升你的情绪。但洗澡时间不要超过10分钟，以免皮肤过于干燥。

　　Thailand

　　泰国

　　"Massage is a science here. It's often vigorous, with knees and elbows applying pressure, and much stress reduction." —Pam Sangsingkeo, 39, university lecturer; Bangkok

　　“在这里按摩是一门科学。 按摩通常都很有力，用膝盖和手肘施压，可以消除许多压力。”——Pam Sangsingkeo，39岁，曼谷，大学讲师

　　What you can do: Knead the nape of your neck and the surrounding area. "Stimulating pressure receptors releases serotonin, a natural antidepressant," says Tiffany Field, PhD, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami. Better yet: Get your partner to do it.

　　你可以做的是：按揉后颈部和周围区域。“在按压的刺激下会释放血管收缩素，这是一种天然的抗抑郁剂，” 迈阿密大学的触觉研究所主任Tiffany Field 博士说。当然，如果让你的另一半来做就更好了。

　　China

　　中国

　　"Women do a foot soak called zu yu bore bed. I put hot water in a big pot and sit on my sofa as I read a book or surf my Weibo, Chinese Twitter. Sometimes I lean back and fall asleep, it's so relaxing." —Frances Wu, 37, office clerk; Shanghai

　　“女人们在睡前泡脚，这叫做足浴。我把热水倒进一个大盆里，然后坐在沙发上看书或者刷微博。有时候我向后一倒睡着了，这种方法特别放松。”Frances Wu， 37岁，上海，办公室职员。

　　What you can do: Soothe your feet with this remedy of Red Door Spa: Dunk feet up to the ankles in hot water in a plastic bin or the tub, adding a handful of Epsom salts and 2 spoonfuls of baking soda. "After 15 minutes, swelling goes down and circulation improves. It's amazingly relaxing.

　　你可以做的是：用Red Door Spa 提供的这个疗法来放松你的双脚：往塑料盆或桶中放入热水，把脚踝以下都浸泡其中，加入少量硫酸镁和两勺烘焙苏打。“15分钟之后足部肿胀消除，血液循环加强，让人非常放松。

　　Denmark

　　丹麦

　　"It gets dark at 3:30 p.m. in the winter here, so Danes have gotten good at creating hygge, or 'cozy.' We come and go casually to each others' houses on evenings and weekends. It's about being happy at home with no one rushing to go anywhere." —Mette Borring, 48, finance executive; Copenhagen

　　“这里的冬天下午3点半就天黑了，所以丹麦人很擅长创造舒适的环境。我们在晚上和周末会去别人家里随意走动。大家很开心地待在家里，没有人会急着出门。”——Mette Borring，48岁，哥本哈根，财务主管。

　　What you can do: It's very simple, but key: Invite friends over and don't fuss too much. "If we worry about inviting people to the perfect party, the task seems overwhelming. So I lower the bar to a manageable level. I had a holiday party that was dessert and drinks—so much easier than serving dinner, and very festive!"

　　你可以做的是：这很简单，但也很关键：邀请你的朋友们，别太郑重其事。“如果我们担心邀请朋友的聚会能不能完美，这个任务显然太沉重了。所以我把标准降低到可以实现的水平。我办过一次假日聚会，准备了甜点和饮料，这比准备晚宴容易多了，而且非常有节日气氛!”
