新年从细节开始：真正能坚持下去的10大新年目标

We can make the most impact on our spending habits by monitoring our casual spending habits, according to Harlan Platt, professor of finance at Northeastern University. “These include coffee at Starbucks, restaurant lunches and driving your car.” Instead of drinking lattes every day, drink them on Monday, Wednesday and Friday only. Think of them as luxuries, and aim to treat them as such.
东北大学的金融学教授哈兰·普拉特表示，通过观察我们的休闲消费习惯，我们可以对自己的消费习惯做出改变。他说：“这些消费包括到星巴克喝咖啡、下馆子吃饭、和自己开车。” 不要每天喝拿铁，只周一、周三和周五喝咖啡就可以。把它们想成奢侈品，并这样对待它们。

Say 'I Love You'
说“我爱你”

Say ‘I love you’ more, more times than you imagine you could, or should.Think of how you feel when you're on the receiving end, even via a text or Facebook message – it feels good, doesn’t it? Even if it’s a quick three words, it feels good to know that someone, somewhere thinks you’re great. Now, pay it forward. Make sure you appreciate the people in your life. Thank them for who they are and what they do, on a regular basis.
多说“我爱你”，比你认为你可以或应该说的次数还要多。即使是通过文字或Facebook来传达，当你作为听到这句话的一方，想想你的感受，那感觉很好不是吗？即使是简单的三个字，知道有人在某地认为你很棒，那感觉就很好。现在去回应那些人。感谢你生活中的那些人，经常感谢他们，感谢他们的真性情，感谢他们为你做的事。

Breathe Deeply for 10 Seconds
深呼吸10秒

Be intentional about your breathing. Some people can let life’s stresses roll right off their back, but for the rest of us, hearing “just don’t worry about it” is less than helpful. Instead of channeling your energy into "not worrying," try focusing on something positive, proactive and mindless, like breathing. Close your eyes for 10 seconds and focus on taking deep breaths. In addition to helping you slow down (deep breathing tells your brain to relax), you’re giving yourself a chance to push the reset button.
关注你的呼吸。有些人不会让生活压着喘不过气来，但对我们其他人，听到一句“不用担心” 并没起到什么帮助。试着专注积极主动和不操心的事，比如呼吸，而不是把你的精力转去关注“不担心”。闭上眼睛10秒钟，专注深呼吸。深呼吸，除了帮助你淡定下来（深呼吸让你的大脑放松），还给了你自己一个按下“重启”按钮的机会。

Hide Your Paper Towels
把纸巾藏起来

Trade your paper towels for cloth towels. Again, start small at first. Simply make your paper towels less convenient to use – place them in the cupboard under the sink and hang a hand towel in an accessible place. This quick switch will help you reduce your paper towel usage and encourage you to find reusable alternatives. Do you really need a fresh paper towel just to dry your hands? Save that disposable for kitchen accidents or pet surprises.
把纸巾换成毛巾。同样的，刚开始时从小处着手。只要增加使用纸巾的难度就好，比如把纸巾放置在水槽下的橱柜里，把毛巾挂在方便取用的地方——这种简易的对换，可以帮你降低纸巾的使用量，鼓励你寻找可重复使用的替代品。你真的需要一张新纸巾来擦手吗？把一次性纸巾存下来用到应对厨房和宠物带来的意外上。

List One Thing You're Thankful for Every Day
记录一件当天你要感谢的事

At the end of the day, list one thing you’re thankful for. It can be something small like a good parking spot or perfectly steeped cup of tea, or it can be broad like the health of your family. Whatever that one thing is (and there is no need to stop at just one), take a few minutes out of your day to acknowledge how grateful you are for that one little thing.
在一天结束的时候，记录一件当天你要感谢的事。这件事可以很小，比如说有一个好的停车位，或是泡了一杯好茶；这件事也可以很重要，如家人的健康。无论这件事是什么（也没必要说纠结是哪一件），花个几分钟来为这件微不足道的事情表达你的谢意。
