2013已过一半 剩下半年你计划怎么过？

Journaling has a number of benefits. Not only will it help you plan your next five to six months and stay more conscious of what’s really important to you, but it’s a great way of keeping a record of everything you do.
写日志有许多好处。它不仅帮你对接下来的五六个月时间做了一份计划，让你意识到对你来说什么是真正重要的事情，此外也是一种记录你的所作所为的方式。

The act of journaling in itself can help keep us focused on our intention to make the second half of 2013 awesome. Reading back over previous journaling notes can also reveal things to us about ourselves that we didn’t previously realize.
日志就使我们把精力集中，让2013年下半年过得更精彩。重新阅读之前写下的日志，日志可以向我们透露我们之前没有意识到的关于自身的问题。

Through journaling, we have space and time to explore our goals, ambitions and desires, both for the remainder of this year and beyond. We have a private space to express our deepest hopes, fears and dreams, and an opportunity to reflect on any obstacles that might get in the way of an awesome 2013.
通过写日志，我们有空间和时间去探索我们的目标、志向和渴望，它们都提醒着我们今年或是未来的努力方向。我们拥有一个私人空间来表达我们最深处的希望、恐惧和梦想。它也为我们提供了反思的机会，对下半年可能遇到的困难进行思考。

5. Focus on what’s working
专注当前着手的事情

Perhaps the first half of 2013 felt like your best six months yet, perhaps you feel like the next five months are a chance for 2013 to redeem itself. Whatever the case, taking time each day to focus on what’s working right now will help you develop a deeper appreciation for all the good things that are happening for you this year.
也许2013的上半年感觉像是最好的六个月时间，也许你感觉接下去的五个月时间是兑现2013年承诺的时候了。不管是哪种情况，每天抽出时间关注眼前在忙碌的事，这会培养你的感恩之心，对所有今年发生的好事表示感谢。

One way of doing this is to keep a gratitude log, writing down five to ten things you appreciate or feel grateful for at the end of each day.
有一种方法能做到这一点，就是写感恩日志，也就是在一天结束时，写下5到10件让你感恩和充满感谢的事。

Sometimes, we don’t truly appreciate everything we’ve done and experienced until we have a chance to reflect back on how the last few months have gone. Without a written record of our day-to-day or week-to-week experiences, we tend to dwell on the more memorable challenges of the past, rather than things that went well or things we felt proud of.
有时，我们不会真心地对我们做过的和经历的事充满感激，直到我们有了一次回想过去几个月是怎么过去的机会。如果没有书面记录下我们每一天或是每一周的经历，我们就常常会沉湎在过去的记忆中，而不是关注发展顺利以及让我们引以为傲的事情上。
