新年从细节开始：真正能坚持下去的10大新年目标

The odds are against us: Roughly 88 percent of New Year's resolutions don't make it through the year. These are big to-dos we’re slacking on: eat healthier, get a better job, lose weight, save money. How can we fall short on such important goals year after year? The problem may lie in the kinds of resolutions we make – not our willpower.
形势不太有利：大约有88%人们的新年计划基本坚持不下去。这些要做的大事我们通通都懈怠了：吃得更健康，换一份更好的工作，减肥，存钱。年复一年我们怎么总会功亏一篑？问题可能在于我们所定下的新年目标，而不是我们的意志力。

Drink One Glass of Water in the Morning
在早晨喝一杯水

Drink a glass of water when you wake up. Water hydrates your body to start the day off. It’s preparing your body to accept nutrition. People talk about wanting to lose weight, but what if instead of that, that goal was, "I’m going to drink a full glass of water every morning." Instead of focusing on the end goal, focus on the small changes you can make every day to get there. When you have something you can accomplish every day, you’re more likely to form habits which, over time, will help you achieve your weight loss goals.
当你醒来时，喝一杯水。身体得到水分补给后，开始迎接新的一天，并准备对营养的吸收。人们总说想减肥，但如果不是那样的目标呢？如果目标是：“我打算每天早上喝满满一杯水” ，又会怎么样呢？与其关注最终结果，不如关注每一天你能做到的细微改变。当你每天都能完成一点，你更有可能养成一种习惯，这种习惯假以时日就会帮你达成减肥目标。

Turn One Driving Trip into a Walking Trip
把驾车出行换成徒步旅行

Before promising yourself that you will get up early and exercise every day, ask yourself if you’re really the kind of person who loves getting up at the crack of dawn to go on a long run. If you are, good for you; if not, consider taking small steps in the right direction as a start. Maybe you’re the kind of person who can walk to go get coffee. That can be a doable, achievable thing. From there you start to think, "I think I’m going to walk to yoga class, or walk to the grocery store."
在向自己承诺每天早起锻炼身体时，先问问自己：我真的喜欢拂晓时分就起床去晨跑吗？我是这种人吗？如果你是，恭喜你；如果不是，那么在开始时，请考虑在正确的方向上做些小小的努力。也许你是步行去拿咖啡的那种人，这事是可做而且可行的。然后你开始有这样的想法：“我认为我可以步行去参加瑜伽课，或者步行去杂货店。”

Read One Page Before Bed Every Night
每晚睡前读一页书

If you read one page every night before going to bed, you would be done with a 365-page book by the end of the year. That may not sound impressive, but it's one book more than you got through last year. If you’re feeling inspired, gradually increase your page count.
如果你每夜睡前读一页书，那么到了年底，你就读了一本365页的书。这个听起来也许没那么动心，但一年时间过去，你得到的远不止一本书。如果你觉得自己受到了启发，有进步，你可以逐渐增加你的阅读页数。

Make One Networking Effort a Day
每天为人际关系网做点努力

“Make a new professional contact on LinkedIn, or any other social-networking site that has to do with your industry,” says Lisa Johnson Mandell, author of “Career Comeback – Repackage Yourself to Get the Job You Want.” In addition to networking, educate yourself. Keep your finger on the pulse of the industry you’re after. Read at least one online article about a cutting-edge development in your field, or at the company you'd like to work for.
《复出职场--为获得心仪的工作，重新包装你自己》的作者丽莎·约翰逊·曼德尔说，“你可以在LinkedIn或其他社交网站建立一种与职业相关的新联系。” 除了人际关系网，还要接受自我教育，把握所在行业的发展脉搏。她还说，“至少在网上阅读一篇关于尖端领域的文章，不论是关于你自己所在的行业还是你想为之工作的公司。”

Indulge Every Other Day
改天再享用

Enjoy your favorite foods and drinks – in moderation. “Limit, do not eliminate,” says nutrition expert Rania Batayneh. “Diets do not work. Eliminating your favorite foods will just make you want or crave them more.” Instead of cutting out your favorite indulgences entirely, Batayneh suggests finding ways to limit your intake. If you eat potato chips every afternoon, challenge yourself to cut back to every other afternoon, focusing on reframing them as an infrequent treat.
好好享用你最爱的食物和饮料，但请适量。营养专家拉尼娅·巴特内说，“不是不吃，而是要限量。节食食谱没有效果，不吃只会让你更想和更渴求”。巴特内建议，与其不吃，还不如寻找办法来限制摄入量。如果你每天下午吃薯片，挑战自己：隔天下午再吃，调整认知，把它们作为偶尔的零食。
