教你摆脱自身坏习惯的绝招

11. Use "But". A prominent habit-changing therapist once told me this great technique for changing bad thought patterns. When you start to think negative thoughts, use the word "but" to interrupt it."I'm no good at this, but, if I work at it I might get better later."

11.使用”但是”。一位杰出的习惯专家曾经告诉我一个非常有效的习惯培养方法：每当你开始陷入低沉时，便使用”但是”来改变你的想法。比方说：”我对这个一窍不通，但是，我尝试一下说不定可以做好它。”

12. Know the Pain. Feel what will happen to you if you don't make a change. Use your imagination to enhance the image of your results should you do nothing.

12.了解其坏处。想像你一直保持这些坏习惯将带来的坏影响。并且不断地加强你对它的坏处的了解，值得你意识到要求改变它。

13. Add Role Models. Start spending more time with people who live the way you want to live. Join groups and find mentors who have already adapted the habits you want to take on. They can be invaluable in giving you the positive reinforcement and guidance you need.

13.模范作用。与那些有着好习惯的人相处。参加学习小组，接受那些已经成功培养好习惯的朋友的指导。模范的影响会提供很多正确的方法及正面的推动力。

14. Stay Consistent. Try to keep as many aspects of your habit in control when conditioning to make the associations stronger. For the first month don't just exercise a few times a week, but every day. Do things at the same time and in the same pattern to ensure your results stick.

14.保持一致。尽量把培养习惯中所有的因素都考虑周全，使习惯培养的过程保持一致。比如培养坚持锻炼的习惯，便不能一个月内只锻炼几次，而要天天坚持。并且坚持保持在同样的时间，和同样的运动量。

15. Keep it Simple Stupid! Habits should be one or two rules, not 20. If your plan looks like a User License Agreement from Microsoft, it's probably too long. Keep changes simple so they will be easier to adhere to.

15.保持简单。建立习惯的要求只需要几条就可以了，保持简单，千万不要让你的要求像Microsoft的用户使用协议那么长（那也太长了吧～）。保持你的改变简单，从而更容易坚持。

16. Remind Yourself. Put reminders of your habit around you. After spending a few years changing many habits, I've learned that one of the biggest ways I've failed is simply a poor memory. Forgetting to run a trial one day leads to two until your back where you started. Put up Post-It notes, affirmations or whatever you need to stay consistent.

16.提醒自己。不断地提醒自己，防止自己忘记。在这几年的习惯培养中，我发自己最大的缺点便是健忘。因此常常忘记去坚持培养习惯，从而导致几天都没有去培养。所以保持一份习惯培养清单，或者使用其他可以提醒你的方法。

17. Motivate Yourself. Get the motivation when things get tough. Check out 20 Motivation Hacks for some good ways to do that.

17.激励自己。当你变得消极时，不要忘记为自己加油鼓气，激励自己。

18. Break Down Your Goals. Use habits to get your goals. Break down your goal to be wealthy into habits of investing, frugality and entrepreneurship.

18.冲刺目标。培养好习惯来冲刺你的人生目标。

19. Don't Strive for Perfection. Focus on the habits that are important and minimize those that aren't. I've changed many major habits, but I've also learned to let minor problems exist if they distract me from the bigger picture.

19.不要坚持完美主意。集中于那些重要的好习惯，改变这样重要的习惯。一些小的坏习惯并不是那么重要，你可以慢慢再改，不要坚持完美主义，想一次就全部改变。

20. Do it Now. Waiting for life? The best way to learn how to change those stubborn habits in your life is to practice. Make a change now and in a month you can have a completely new way of living.

20.现在就开始。还需要等待什么？马上就开始你的好习惯培养，融入你的新的更好的生活方式吧。
