1 Know your body and be comfortable with what it is. Try looking into a mirror and appreciating how amazing your body really is. Your body is a masterpiece, and it can do some incredible stuff if you learn how to use it.
好好珍惜自己的身體,相信自己的身體是大自然最偉大的創作,學會好好打扮自己的身體,這是優雅的基本條件。
2 To be graceful, it helps a lot to be physically fit. So if you don't exercise, now is the time to start. You don't have to run marathons or lift huge weights. Just do a little at a time, and do it consistently every day, or at least a couple of times a week.Yoga can be of great help!
鍛煉身體,塑造美好的體型。如果還沒有開始,現在行動起來吧。
3 Get as much sleep as you need. If necessary, go to bed earlier. If you go through your day half-comatose, you will not be graceful at all.
保證充足的睡眠時間。早睡早起是個不錯的習慣。
4 Correct your posture. Graceful people stand up straight and sit straight. Don't slouch when you're sitting at your desk (adjust the chair height if needed). You might want to consult a chiropractor, if you can afford it. If you work for a big company, chances are you can get an expert to make sure your work space is "ergonomically correct."
鍛煉自己的儀態。站有站姿,坐有坐姿,不要總是攤在自己的座位上。
5 Stretch daily. Yes, every day. Even on days when you don't exercise. There are lots of websites and books that tell you how to stretch, so learn the basics and do it safely. Don't hurt yourself doing it, but do it. Graceful people have a full range of movement, and you can't have that if you don't stretch regularly.
伸展身體。書上和網絡上都有相關的課程,每天伸伸四肢,強度不要太大。
6 Take a dance class. (More than one is even better, but not at the same time!) Ballet is the traditional epitome of graceful movement, and it's not as dorky as it sounds.
報一個舞蹈班。芭蕾是塑造優雅最直接的途徑。
7.Take an acting class. Graceful people are poised and confident, both verbally and nonverbally. Learn some good gestures and movements, and use them.
優雅的女人是自信的,得體的,不論是語言上還是動作上,因此,不妨報一個表演課。
8 Speak with your head up, in a clear voice. Talk to the person in front of you, not to your shoes.
說話有底氣,口齒清楚。說話時,正視對方,不要低著頭。
9 Don't wear clothing that restricts your movement in awkward ways. High heels look cool, for example, but they shouldn't be worn for long periods. Baggy oversized pants give you a weird shuffle that is not very graceful. Always wear clothes that make you feel cool and attractive, and style your hair properly!
穿讓自己感覺舒服的衣服。高跟鞋看起來很酷,但是不適合走很長的路。
10 Have fun. Graceful people are "comfortable in their own skin." They know how beautiful they are.
快樂。優雅的女人只有在快樂的時候才能散發自己最優雅的一面。
