乾貨！你去年立下的flag全倒了嗎? 2018年你應該這樣做

03-05

都說新年要有新氣象，不知道大家今年的新年願望和新年目標都是些什麼呢？

對於剛剛到來的2018年還沒有什麼規劃和想法的朋友，在這裡為大家推薦幾個切實可行的小目標，試過的歪果仁網友都說好~

1.儘可能別帶筆記本電腦上床

Keep your laptop out of bed as much as you can.

網友@ MendesIsBae：

I used to always bring my laptop up to my room, resulting in loss of sleep and lots of stress. So eventually I asked my partner if he could not let me take it, meaning I would have to sneak it up, which she realised and wouldnt let me. Now I feel so much better! A little thing can really help yall!!
我先前總是將筆記本帶到房間里，導致我缺覺還壓力山大。所以最後我讓我的另一半監督我不要帶筆記本上床，我想要這麼乾的時候只能偷偷摸摸地來，被她發現了以後就會制止我。現在我覺得好多了！這件小事真的可以幫到大家喲！！！

當然，你要是換成帶手機上床，我也覺得救不了你了……

2.把找回來的零錢都放到一起，積少成多

Put your change away somewhere where it can accumulate.

網友@ taylord477ea2a04：

Ive saved every $5 bill I get back from change and put it in a wine glass. Ive saved up over $200 dollars in just a few months. This is the first time in my life Ive successfully saved any large sum of money. Its made me think of how many $5s I use on things like coffee and gum and all the nickles it creates that end up in the bottom of my purse.
我每次都會把找回來的5美元紙幣存下來，放在一個玻璃酒杯里，幾個月後就存了200多美元。這是我人生第一次成功存下這麼大筆錢，讓我開始想起自己在咖啡和口香糖上花了多少個5美元，還有錢包底部找回來的所有硬幣。

3.做手賬讓你變得有條理

Bullet-journal your way to being organised.

網友@Anna King：

Bullet journaling – it doesnt have to be time consuming pages of fancy layout. Mine is a complete mess, and it uses a pre-printed diary, but it is very helpful on bad days to look over it and see the big picture, and that most of the time I get along OK. I also include a sentence of gratitude with it every day.
手賬其實不需要花很長時間，做出很精美的布局。我的手賬很亂，用的是一本印好的筆記本。它在回顧糟糕的一天以及把握事情整體等方面相當有用，大部分時間我都能處理得很好。我每天都會在裡面寫上一句感恩的話。

4.停用社交媒體一小會，如果你覺得自己需要這麼做的話

Give yourself social media breaks when you feel you need them.

網友@ kelseyd44429a6d3：

I started off 2017 by taking a 2.5 month long break from social media. I wasn』t someone who used social media a ton anyways but I just noticed how often I used it as a distraction or in small bursts and figured it would be a fun challenge.
我在2017年開年的時候就停用了社交媒體兩個半月。我不是那種社交媒體重度用戶，但我才意識到，我在零碎的時間段里經常使用它，並且常常令我分心。我覺得這是一項很有趣的挑戰。

After doing it that first time and multiple more times since, I can honestly not recommend it more. I found myself having more focus and clarity, I felt less stressed and overwhelmed, and I found myself having more time and what felt like better control over my life as a whole. Those small bursts throughout the day add up to a lot and, at least with me, I was able to realise how big of an effect social media had on my mental health. 10/10 would recommend.
自從第一次嘗試之後，我又試了幾次，港真，我強烈推薦這麼做。我發現自己更加專註，思路也更加清晰。我的壓力和迷茫也減少了，有了更多的時間，感覺也能更好地控制我的生活。
至少對於我而言，一天中的零散時間能夠積少成多，我也能意識到社交媒體對我的心理健康產生多大的影響。滿分10分強烈推薦！

5.將「對不起」換成「謝謝你」

Swap out "sorry" for "thank you".

網友@francesp48e85f596 ：

I tried to avoid unnecessary apologies by switching sorry to thank you. For example, if I was holding someone up at work because I was in a stressful rush, instead of saying sorry I would say thank you for being patient with me. It tends to stop the back and forth of apologising when no one is really at fault. Also, people like to feel appreciated, so thank you is a great alternative.
我試著通過將「對不起」換成「謝謝你」來避免不必要的道歉。比如，當我在工作室因為著急趕工而將別人晾在一邊，我會說「謝謝你對我的耐心」而不是說抱歉。
當沒有人做錯事的時候，這麼做能夠避免大家來回說抱歉。而且，人們會感到自己被感激，所以「謝謝你」是種很棒的替代方式。

6.不再賴床

Lay off the snooze button.

網友@ chloem4350bba95：

It took a hell of a lot of willpower at the start, but I found that when I got straight up when my alarm went off I felt more prepared for the day – I had more time to get myself ready and actually made me feel more awake!!
一開始要下很大的決心，但我發現鬧鐘一響就直接起床能讓我為這一天做更多的準備 —— 我有更多的時間，而且這實際上讓我更清醒了！！

怎麼樣，這幾個小目標聽起來是不是都很簡單呢？但真的做到了，你的生活一定會有積極的改變~

立了這麼多flag，那麼接下來問題來了：如何讓新年信誓旦旦立下的flag屹立不倒，一路堅持到年底？

這裡給大家分享幾招：

1.擠出時間

Carve out time.

Flag既然都已經立好了，當然要擠出時間來實現它呀。要想實現新年目標，最好的方法就是將其變成習慣，把這件事情安排到你的日程表中。比如說，你的目標是每天鍛煉半小時，那麼你就得在日程表中把這半小時的時間給排出來。

有句話說得好，習慣成自然嘛~

Got your goals set? Great — now its time to ritualize! See, in order to successfully stick to your resolutions and create lasting change, youll need them to ultimately become habits. And the only way to form new habitual behavior is through scheduling.

So, say you want to exercise thirty minutes each day. Well, carve that time out on your calendar to ensure it happens. Youll quickly realize that through these rituals, new habits will form, and essentially, a new (and improved!) lifestyle will follow.

2.建立支持機制

Round up a support system.

實現目標的路上道阻且長，所以親人和朋友的支持很重要。和他們分享你的小目標，有困難時可以溝通傾訴，成功了可以一起慶祝。當然啦，你也可以和心愛的ta分享你的小目標，說不定ta的目標和你的一樣呢，這樣你們就可以一起努力啦~

Any form of change can be challenging, which is why its always a great idea to share your goals with family and/or friends. This way, youll have a strong support system to lean on when the going gets tough, as well as a larger group of people to celebrate your future triumphs with.

In fact, your loved ones can also offer unique forms of advice to assist in achieving your efforts for self-improvement. Who knows, they might also be embarking down the same road of change and you can buddy up on your journey!

3.定期追蹤自己的進步

Regularly track your progress

另一大激勵你前進的因素就是你自己的進步，因此，不要忽視自己平時的進步喔~不論是在日曆上標出健身的日子，還是通過細緻的預算來控制花銷，當你定期進行追蹤

並發現自己有進步時，管理時間、調整行動最終達成目標就變得容易多了。

當然，也別忘了取得進步時給自己一點小小的獎勵~這些小獎勵會為你帶來持續性的鼓勵，並且讓你在艱難的日子中也能有所期待~

Curious about what else sparks motivation? Seeing results! Therefore, make an effort to regularly track your progress. Whether its marking your calendar with the days you hit the gym or following your spending through a detailed budget, when you habitually track your progress and think it terms of results, you will have an easier time managing and adjusting your behavior to ensure you cross your aimed finish line.

And dont forget to reward yourself for the progress youve made! Small rewards are a great way to keep a constant flow of encouragement and will give you something to look forward to on even the hardest of days.

4.記住堅持就是勝利

Remind yourself that perseverance is key

雖然你堅持不懈在努力，但有些時候並不會取得進步，甚至還會失敗。這些也都是正常的，畢竟人無完人。但暫時的失敗並非是你放棄的理由，可以好好休息一下，然後繼續前進。

總之，要正視自己的失敗，思考失敗的原因，並吸取教訓從頭再來。不妨做個深呼吸，多想想自己取得的進步，回到自我提升的道路上來~

Now, lets say youre not seeing the results you were hoping for, or even worse, you had some sort of a relapse. Thats OK! None of us are perfect. When these scenarios happen, remember the power of perseverance. Dont turn a temporary failure into a reason to give up. Instead, be resilient and give yourself a break.

Acknowledge the mistake, make a note of what triggered the slip-up, learn from it, and move on. Take a deep breath in, remind yourself of the wonderful progress youve made, and recommit to the path of self-improvement.

最後也是最重要的一點，並非只有新年第一天才能做出改變。如果你現在還沒有新年計劃的話，不如靜下心來仔細想想，謀劃一番，畢竟下狠心為自己訂的目標，實現起來才會加倍努力~
