To facilitate(表目的) a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by combining the information from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again(cue), rather than(而不是) eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead(routine), which(非限制性定语从句) will make us feel relaxed(make+宾语+宾补) (reward). Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example, when we come to an escalator(cue), our normal routine is to ride(to do做表语) it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
想要促使坏习惯朝着积极的方向转化,我们必须首先审视自己的坏习惯循环,然后尽力去调整。我们可以通过把来自习惯周期的信息与我们自己的积极想法相结合来做到这一点。例如,我们可以尽量做一些更积极的事情来代替消极的习惯,所以,当我们再次感到不开心时(提示),不要去吃零食,相反我们可以听一些我们喜欢的音乐(惯例),这会让我们感到放松(奖励)。除了改变坏习惯,我们还可以利用习惯周期来养成好习惯。例如,当我们遇到电动扶梯(提示)时,我们通常的做法是乘坐电动扶梯,但我们可以通过爬楼梯来改变这种惯例,使之变得更加积极。
教学
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote,(非限制性定语从句) "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." One step seems small, but it is essential. To reach(表目的) the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small steps. After all(毕竟), it is not easy to break bad habits.
我们中有许多人都试图迅速改变坏习惯,如果我们不能马上成功,我们往往会变得悲观而放弃。事实上,最成功的改变不是一蹴而就的,而是要经过一段时间的。正如中国哲学家老子所言:“千里之行,始于足下。” 一步看似渺小,却是必不可少。为了达到改变的目标,人必须表现出一定的自制力,并不断地迈出许多小步。毕竟,改掉坏习惯并不容易。
For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However, there is no "magic pill" or delete button that will help you; you have to think about your bad habits and decide on some changes. You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!
对于年轻人来说,仍有足够的时间去改变坏习惯。然而,没有“神奇药丸”或删除按钮可以帮助你;你必须考虑一下你的坏习惯,并决定做出一些改变。你有能力建立一个充满良好习惯的快乐而健康的生活!
