成功靠的是坚持：7种方式把新行为培养成好习惯

Make sure you have everything you need to ensure your success. If you want to start a walking program, get comfortable walking shoes and a pedometer. People who wear a pedometer walk 27% more than those who don’t!
要确保你拥有达到成功的一切条件。如果你想开始步行锻炼，就要准备好舒适的运动鞋和计步器。有计步器的人要比没有的人多走27%的路。

5. Make it Convenient
保证很方便

The more difficult and time consuming it is to take an action, the less likely you will do it. This is why so many people who buy gym memberships drop out. It’s just not that convenient. Get everything you need ready ahead of time so that when it’s time you can, as Nike says, “Just Do It”.
如果做一件事难度越大耗时越长，那么你去做它的几率也就越小。这就是为什么许多人办了健身房会员又中途退出——只是因为不是很便利。因此要提前做好一切准备，等时间一到，你就能像耐克广告语说的那样：“想做就去做！”

6. Make it Fun
寻找乐趣

If you don’t enjoy doing something you aren’t going to stick with it. Find ways to make your lifestyle change as enjoyable as possible. Exercise with a friend, learn to cook healthy foods that are delicious, or find a meditation program that really resonates with you.
如果你不喜欢做什么事，就很难坚持到底。因此要想方设法让生活在变化当中充满乐趣。和朋友一起锻炼，学习做健康可口的饭菜，或是找到真正符合你要求的冥想计划。

7. Don’t Break the Chain
不要间断

When Jerry Seinfeld was an unknown, he created the habit of writing new material daily using a wall calendar and a red marker. Every day he wrote, he put a big red “X” through that day. He didn’t want to see any blank days that “broke the chain”. Use this technique for one month and you’ll find your new habit will largely be formed.
当美国喜剧巨匠杰瑞·宋飞还没出名时，他就养成了天天利用挂历和红标识写新内容的习惯。每天写了新内容，他就在当天的日期上画一个大大的叉。他不想看见哪天是空着的，把“整条链子都截断了”。你也可以效仿这种方法，一个月后，新习惯就会基本形成。

By using these steps to create a habit you are tricking your brain to create a new neural pathway. Once the habit is formed you can use it to serve as a gateway to bigger changes that can truly change your life. A journey of a thousand miles really does begin with a single step.
通过这些步骤，你可以使大脑自动接收新行为，从而养成习惯。等到习惯形成，你就能将它视为一条通往更大改变的通道，最终改变自己人生。要记住：不积跬步，无以至千里。
