Building new habits is one of the most challenging and most rewarding processes we’ll experience in our lives. The tips below are specifically about starting new (and hopefully healthy) habits, but you can also adapt them to support you in breaking existing unhealthy habits. 培养新习惯是人生中最具有挑战性、也是最有价值的过程。下面的小贴士是针对于开始培养新习惯的(希望是健康的习惯)，但是你也可以用它们来帮你戒掉不健康的旧习惯。 1. Find your motivation 找到你的动机 Habits are far more likely to succeed if they are based on intrinsic motivation, rather than extrinsic motivation. The difference between the two is that intrinsic motivation is internal, while extrinsic motivation is external. For example, perhaps you want to create a new exercise habit. An intrinsic motivation for doing this might be wanting to be healthy (an internal motivation that just concerns yourself). An extrinsic motivation might be wanting to lose weight so that other people will perceive you as more attractive (an external motivation that is based on the perceptions and judgments of others). 如果习惯是基于你的内在动机而不是外在动机，那它们更有可能会成功养成。内在动机和外在动机的区别在于，内在动机是来自内部的，外在动机是来自外部的。例如，也许你想养成锻炼身体的习惯。内在动机可能是保持健康(内在动机只考虑自己)。外在动机可能是你想减肥，这样其他人就会觉得你更有吸引力。(外在动机是基于他人的看法和意见。) |
