我们都知道，改掉坏习惯，或是形成一个全新的、健康的新习惯，很难，但是坚持就是胜利。华盛顿大学的研究人员发现，下定新年决心的人，能坚持两个月的只有63%。坚持并不容易，但是还是有些方法可以增强你的意志力，坚定决心，并最终达到你的目的。 要事第一 不要企图在一个早上调整你的财务状况，争取晋升，同时减肥。树立一个清晰、详细的目标，并制定一个可行的策略。绝佳的意志力有时候要求更多的精力，所以，不要把自己搞的太累。一段时间内专注一个目标。 慢慢开始 罗马不是一天建成的，无论你的目标是什么，不要幻想一蹴而就。真正的成功需要时间的锤炼。如果你想戒咖啡，将清晨的一杯咖啡换成一杯水，从这开始，而不是一而再再而三地发誓，从此以后再也不喝咖啡。为每一个小小的成就而喝彩，正是这每一次小小的成就，将集聚成一个大的成就。这些小成功能助你培养意志力。 支持网 通过支持网鼓励你增强意志力。让朋友、家人或者同事来帮忙，详细地告诉他们能帮什么忙。例如，如果你的信用卡消费暴涨，让朋友知道你在节省开支。建议你吃个家常便饭而不是在豪华的饭店聚会。找一个与你目标相关的支援团或组织，参加他们的集会。你能得到颇有价值的忠告、谅解和信息----所有这些都将坚定你的承诺并增强你的意志力。 改变环境 如果可能，换个环境，减少诱惑，或是鼓励积极的行为。想要形成习惯？在办公室内放一套训练服以提醒自己回家路上去健身。戒烟？避免酒吧或饭店之类会点燃你点烟欲望的场合。 不只是意志力 有时候，改变你的行为需要的不只是意志力。如果你正戒瘾，或想换一个有意义的生活方式，要寻求专业的建议和支援。专家可能给你针对性的支持和帮助，或者能给你个处方以减少身体症状。例如，没有帮助的话，只有5%的烟民能成功戒烟，但是当人们同时寻求药物治疗和心理咨询时，该比例上升至30%。</p>
