wecanchange,ifweunderstandhowhabitswork改变不良习惯从来都不是一件容易的事情,即使你三番五次地尝试。有句基于亚里士多德哲学的名言:“我们反复做的事情造就了我们。”从很多方面看,我们的生活方式是我们所作出的选择的总和。我们选择做某件事,接着我们反反复复地做这件事。不久之后,这项选择就变得自然而然,成为一种更加难以改变的习惯。好消息是,如果我们了解习惯是怎么运作的,我们就可以作出改变。Accordingtomodernpsychology,wemustfirstlearnaboutthe"habitcycle",whichworkslikethis:根据现代心理学,我们必须首先了解“习惯循环”,其工作原理如下:lFirstly,thereisa“cue”,anaction,event,orsituationthatactsasasignaltodosomething.第一是“触发因素”,即一个行动、事件或状况,充当要做某事的讯号。第75页共75页,lSecondly,thereisa"routine",theregularactionyoutakeinresponsetothecue.第二是“惯常行为”,即你响应触发因素而采取的常规行动。lThirdly,thereisthe"reward",thegoodthingorfeelingwegetfromtheroutine.第三是“回报”,即我们从惯常行为中获得的美好事物或感受。Forexample,whenwefeelunhappy(cue),weeatlotsofunhealthysnacks(routine)whichmakesusfeelhappy(reward).Therewardmakesusmuchmorelikelytocontinuethecycle,andthebadhabitofrelyingonunhealthysnacksisformed例如,当我们感到不高兴时(触发因素),我们会吃很多不健康零食(惯常行为),这让我们感到快乐(回报)。这一回报使我们更有可能继续这一循环,从而形成了依赖不健康零食这不良习惯Tofacilitateapositivechangeinourbadhabits,wemustfirstexamineourbadhabitcyclesandthentryadaptthem.Wecandothisbycombiningtheinformationfromourhabitcycleswithourownpositiveideas.Forexample,wecouldtrytoreplaceanegativeroutinewithsomethingmorepositive.So,whenwefeelunhappyagain(cue),ratherthaneatsnacks,wecouldlistentosomeofourfavouritemusicinstead(routine)whichwillmakeusfeelrelaxed(reward).Asidefromchangingbadhabits,wecanalsousethehabitcycletocreategoodhabits.Forexample,whenwecometoanescalator(cue),ournormalroutineistorideit,butwecouldchangethisroutineintosomethingmorepositivebytakingthestairsinstead.为了促进我们不良习惯的积极改变,我们必须首先审视我们的不良习惯循环,然后尝试去改变它们。为了做到这一点,我们可以把来自我们不良习惯循环的信息与我们自己的积极想法结合起来。例如,我们可以试着将一个消极的惯常行为替换为一个更积极的东西。因此,当我们再次感到不高兴时(触发因素),我们可以听几首自己最喜爱的音乐(惯常行为),而不是吃零食,这会使我们感到放松(回报)。除了改变不良习惯之外,我们还可以利用习惯循环来养成良好的习惯。例如,当我们走到电梯前的时候(触发因素),我们的惯常行为是乘坐电梯,但是我们可以改为走楼梯,从而将上述惯常行为改变为一个更积极的事情。Manyofustrytochangebadhabitsquickly,andifwearenotsuccessfulstraightawayweoftenbecomepessimisticandgiveup.Infact,themostsuccessfulwaytochangeisnotsuddenly,butoveraperiodoftime.AstheChinesephilosopherLaoZiwrote,“Ajourneyofathousandmilesbeginswithasinglestep.”Onestepseems第75页共75页,small,butitisessential.Toreachthegoalofchange,apersonmustshowsomedisciplineandrepeatedlytakemanysmallsteps.Afterall,itisnoteasytobreakbadhabits我们中很多人试图迅速改变不良习惯,一旦没有立刻成功,我们往往变得悲观,继而放弃。事实上,改变不良习惯的最佳方法不是一蹴而就,而是需要一段时间。正如中国哲学家老子所说:“千里之行,始于足下。”一步似乎很小,却至关重要。为了实现改变这一目标,一个人必须展示出一定程度的自制力,不断地出许多小步。毕竟,戒除不良习惯并非易事。Foryoungpeople,thereisplentyoftimetochangebadhabits.However,thereisno“magicpill”ordeletebuttonthatwillhelpyou;youhavetothinkaboutyourbadhabitsanddecideonsomechanges.Youhavethepowertobuildahappyandhealthylifefullofgoodhabits!对年轻人来说,有大量的时间可以改变不良习惯。然而,能帮助你的“魔力丸”或删除键并不存在;你必须思考自己的不良习惯,选定一些作出改变。你有能力构建一种充满良好习惯的快乐、健康的生活!UsingLanguageWritealettertotheeditoraboutyourlifestyle.DearEditor尊敬的编辑AfterIattendedyoursummercampabouthealthandlifestylechoices,IrealisedIhardlyeverfeltwell,eitherphysicallyormentallyoftenfeltsleepyanddizzy,andlackedpassion.Mostworrying,though,Igottheflueasilyandexperiencedmanytoothaches,too参加了你们举办的有关健康和生活方式选择的夏令营之后,我意识到我几乎从来没有感觉好过,无论在身体上还是心理上。我经常感到昏昏欲睡和头晕目眩。不过最令人担忧的是,我很容易得流感,而且经常牙痛AttheendofthecampIheard,"Changetheworldbychangingyourself."Thisstimulatedmymotivation.Adentistonceexaminedmeandtoldmethattoomuchsugarinmymealshaddamagedmyteethandhealth.Imadeupmymindtochangetwothingsinmylife:toeatnothingwithsugarandtoexerciseregularly在夏令营尾声,我听到“改变世界,从改变自己做起”这句话,这激发了我的动力。有次,牙医给我做检查时告诉我,我的三餐摄入了过量糖分,损害了我的牙齿和健康。我下定决心改变我生活中的两件事:不吃含糖的任何东西,定期锻炼身体。第75页共75页,AfterthatIstoppedbuyingallthesweets,biscuits,andsugarydrinksthatIusedtohaveeveryday.WheneverIwentoutwithfriends,broughtsnacksfromhome,thingsthatdidn’thaveanyaddedsugar:fruit,nuts,driedmeat,etc.此后,我不再买我过去每天都要吃的糖果、饼干和含糖饮料。每次和朋友们出去时,我都会从家里带零食,也就是没有添加任何糖分的东西:水果、坚果、肉干等。Myexercisewasverysimple:Iwentoutsideeverydayforatleast30minutesanddidsomethingactive.SometimesIplayedtabletennisorbadmintonwithmycousins.OthertimesIjumpedonmyskateboardandrodearoundmyneighbourhood,orjusttookalongwalk我的锻炼很简单:我每天在室外积极活动至少30分钟。有时,我会和堂(表)亲打乒乓球或羽毛球;有时,我会跳上滑板,在街区滑行,或是长时间散步。Theresultshavebeenfantastic.Ifeelmoredynamicandstrongerthanever,inbothbodyandmind.Isleepsoundlyatnightnow.Inolongersufferfromafluvirusortoothacheseither.Bestofall,inmyopinion,ishowIfeelaboutmyself.IfeellikeI'mincontrolofmyownlife.Tomakechoicesaboutmyselfiswithinmyownpower.ICANchangemyself.Ijustneedtotry.结果棒极了。在身心上,我感觉比以往任何时候都更有活力、更加强壮。现在,夜里我能酣然入睡。我也不再受流感病毒或牙痛的折磨。我认为,最棒的是我对自己的感觉。我感到我能掌控自己的生活。为自己作出选择是我力所能及的。我能够改变自己。我只需去尝试。Yourstruly,此致敬礼!WangLu王璐DearEditor尊敬的编辑:AsItookpartinthesummercampaboutpersonallifechoices,Istartedtoanalysemychoices,especiallywhatIdidtorelaxandhowitwasaffectingmywholelife.第75页共75页,自从参加了有关个人生活选择的夏令营后,我开始分析自己的选择,尤其是我做了些什么来放松自己,以及它是如何影响我的整个生活的。Afterstartinghighschool,Ifeltstressedoutandalwaysrelaxedbyplayingcomputergames.IgotsoabsorbedthatIplayedthegamesdayandnight.Playingwasfun,butIfeltevenmorewornoutafterwards!Soafterthecamp,Irealisedthatitwasvery,veryimportanttoadjustmylifestyle.Idecidedtotakecontrolofmylifeandfindotherwaystorelax.高中开始后,我感到压力重重,总是通过玩电脑游戏来放松自己。我十分着迷,
