Your smartphone may seem like the centre of your entertainment， but a Kent State University study shows that too much phone use is taking the fun right out of our spare time.
Researchers watched a group of nearly 500 students and recorded their daily smartphone use. Those who were considered in the “high-use” group experienced more stress during their spare time than the other group.
So what can we do in order to really take advantage of our spare time? We have collected the following activities that also take a few hours to complete， but best part of all， you’ll improve your health in the process（过程）.
Whether you’re at home or on holiday， it’s important to disconnect from the Wi-Fi. Walking in a nature can do good to your health. As a professional（职业的）traveler. Samantha Brown put it in a recent passage， “ I put my map in my back pocket， put down my phones and take a good， long walk. Just walk around.”
Go to bed earlier. What can help improve your mood? Extra sleep， naturally. Getting the right number of sleep is very important to our health and studies show that we don’t get enough of it.
Read a book. And let yourself get lost in a good story. Research shows that reading can reduce stress， keep your brain sharp and can even help you sleep better. Everyone should spend at least 30 minutes reading every day.
Putting pen to paper is a good exercise. Try writing down your thoughts. Writing has a lot of health advantages. Besides， writing down your thoughts may even help clear your mind.

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners， but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.
Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back， she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.
Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that， the following will show you how.
First， relax. If you are over worried about remembering something， you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad， your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something， don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh， my God! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.
But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory， you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body， your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example， if you’re learning a language， try to actively remember a lot of new words.
If you don’t take notice of things actively， you won’t remember them. So， you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example， don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again， make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

Every place you leave becomes a memory. Even if you return to visit， in your mind it’s as it was when you left.
I consider New York City my second hometown. You fight your way into New York City. It isn’t easy. It isn’t cheap. It isn’t so friendly. So when I got to Helsinki， the capital of Finland， I was surprised at how easy it was. People were friendly and nice. They are curious about what I thought of Finland.
Except the coffee and the cost of living， Helsinki and New York don’t have much in common， but I was born in the US Midwest， which was heavily influenced by North Europe. So the life of Finland seemed familiar to that of the US.
Still， I missed New York， I visited it last year， and I went to my old coffee room， still in the same place. Although it was 2014， my mind insisted that it was 2007 and I had never left. The waiter looked at me silently， reaching for the same size cup and pouring the same type of coffee I always got. Same corner， same waiter， same coffee.
To the waiter， he guessed maybe I moved to another neighborhood. He wouldn’t guess from my appearance that I haven’t even been in the country. He didn’t find that there was anything different until I opened my mouth. It was something I said， I’m sure. He mistook me for one of the tourists who got lost on their way from Times Square.
In my mind， this is my home. It was the place when I dreamed of my childhood， long after I left it; and now I am the same as the other tourists with the packbag.
