8招教你丢掉坏习惯

Know what usually triggers your bad habit. Places where you are likely to spend too much money. Things in your cupboard that will not help you to get healthier and you should not have at home at all. And people that drag you down and back into your old ways.
想清楚哪些东西会触发你的坏习惯。不要去那些你可能会大笔花钱的地方。把橱柜里的垃圾食品找出来扔掉。还有那些会把你拉上老路的狐朋狗友，你应该与他们断绝交往。

Replace it
用新习惯来替代

If you stop doing one thing then it can leave a vacuum in your life. It’s easier to not relapse if you replace that space with a new habit. If you had chips and candy at home to snack on then have fruits and nuts to snack on when you feel the cravings. If you stopped checking social media and the internet for many hours each evening then replace that habit and space with reading more books or joining a club, sport or evening class.
坏习惯的终止会给你的生活留下一块真空，用新的习惯来填补这片空白，坏习惯就很难再找上你。以前你的家里常摆着薯片糖果类的零食，不妨把它们换成水果和坚果。以前你习惯每晚花费数小时查看邮件，现在你可以利用晚上的时间阅读图书，参加俱乐部活动，进行体育锻炼，或者参加夜校学习。

Don’t remove more than one habit at a time
一次改正一个陋习

It may seem like a good idea to overhaul your life all at once. When regular life, stress and lack of energy interfere it usually leads to failure. Don’t try to be Superman or Wonder Woman. Take it easy and change one habit at a time to dramatically increase the odds of real life success.
让生活来个翻天覆地的变化——听上去很不错，但现实生活的规律，压力和难以为继的动力都会导致你的行动失败。所以，不要尝试成为超人或神奇女侠。慢慢来，一次改掉一个陋习，这样做成功的几率会大很多。

Don’t make a huge deal out of it
不必小题大做

If you think about it and talk about it all the time then it will feel like a huge deal to get rid of that habit. This will make each day much harder mentally and you may feel overwhelmed. Instead, keep it simple and realize that whatever habit you want to get rid of thousands if not millions of people have done so before. Yes, things do get tough from time to time. But there is no need to create a lot of extra drama around it and in the longer run make things more difficult than they need to be.
如果你总把改掉陋习这件事放在心里，挂在嘴边，就会觉得这是件了不得的大事。这会增加你的精神压力，让你感到不知所措。不要把它想得太复杂，要知道，无论你要改变什么坏习惯，之前都已经有无数人有过与你相同的经历。当然，事情不可能总是一帆风顺的。但没有必要将其戏剧化夸大，并人为制造困难。
