Share Your Good News, and You Will Be Better Off
Adapted from Scientific American
Positive experiences happen to us everyday, yet we don't always take full advantage of them. Have you ever noticed that it could be a great day—you had 8 hours of sleep or it's the weekend, and you had a great conversation with a friend, etc.But it takes just one harsh word from someone or one piece of bad news to ruin the day. Research by Shelley Gable and Jonathan Haidt suggests that we actually have three times more positive experiences than negative. But what keeps us from fully capitalizing on① all the good in our lives, making us a slave to the bad
Researchers have identified two main tendencies② that keep us from experiencing, extending③， and expanding our joy: the negativity bias④ and habituation⑤. The negativity bias refers to our mind's innate tendency to give more weight to the negative. Roy Baumeister has shown that we tend to remember and focus more on negative experiences. Habituation, discussed in research on the hedonic treadmill⑥， refers to the fact that while we receive boosts⑦ of happiness from new positive experiences, over time, we get used to these experiences and they no longer have the same effect.
How can we counter⑧ this tendency to assign greater weight to the negative experiences in our life A recent study by Nathaniel Lambert and colleagues at Brigham Young University gives us a clue⑨. Their research shows that discussing positive experiences leads to heightened well-being⑩， increased overall life satisfaction and even more energy.
This research may seem surprising because we are often reluctant to talk about our good fortune. We don't want to show off . Sometimes we don't want to “jinx ” ourselves by doing so. Or we may feel guilty that good things are happening to us in the face of the suffering that exists in other people's lives. However, Lambert and colleagues' research suggests that describing our happy experiences to close friends and romantic partners is a better idea.
Lambert's new study, however, extends research on gratitude to show that verbally expressing the gratitude we feel to people close to us helps increase and sustain our well-being above beyond simply feeling or writing down gratitude.
Great literary figures have long known that happiness grows in sharing. In one of her letters, Charlotte Bront observes “Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste.” In The Common Reader, Virginia Woolf writes “Pleasure has no relish unless we share it.” Lambert's research provides empirical support of their wisdom.

One possible version：
I would like to share my housework experience at weekends. Early in the morning I made breakfast, followed by sorting out clothes, books and other items at home. What I am proud of is I can fold tofu quilt, which I learned from the military training. Eventually I swept the floor, and cleaned the table and cabinets to make them as crystal clear as a mirror. Not only did the experience free me from the academic pressure, it also relaxed my parents, killing two birds with one stone.
