内容提要：很多新年计划失败的最大原因在于——你知道自己想要什么，但不清楚为什么想要。
9. You have no social support
你缺乏社会支持
It can be hard to stay motivated when you feel alone. The good news? You’re not alone: far from it. Post a status on Facebook asking your friends if anybody would like to be your gym or accountability buddy. If you know a co-worker who shares your goal, try to coordinate your lunch time and go out together so you’ll be more likely to make positive decisions. Join a support group of like-minded folks on Facebook, LinkedIn, or elsewhere on the internet. Strength in numbers is powerful, so use it to your advantage.
只身一人很难保持充满动力。好在你并非单枪匹马：你可以在Facebook上邀请好友搭伴一起运动。如果有同事恰好跟你一样，可以趁午餐时间互相沟通，从而做出积极决定。你也可以在Facebook、LinkedIn或其他网站上加入相关小组。团结就是力量，好好利用起来吧。
10. You know your what but not your why
你知道自己想要什么，却不清楚为什么想要
The biggest reason why most New Year’s resolutions fail: you know what you want but you not why you want it.
很多新年计划失败的最大原因在于——你知道自己想要什么，但不清楚为什么想要。
Yes: you want to get fit, lose weight, or be healthy… but why is your goal important to you? For example:
的确：你想要减肥健身或更健康，但为什么这对你而言很重要呢？例如：
Do you want to be fit so you can be a positive example that your children can admire and look up to?
你想要锻炼，是因为你希望给子女树立值得钦佩的好榜样吗？
Do you want to lose fat so you’ll feel more confident and sexy in your body than ever before?
你想要减肥，是因为你觉得减肥后会更自信迷人吗？
Do you want to be healthy so you’ll have increased clarity, energy, and focus that would carry over into every single aspect of your life?
你想要健康，这样你会更加精力充沛并清晰专注，然后过好生活的点点滴滴吗？
Whether you’re getting in shape because you want to live longer, be a good example, boost your energy, feel confident, have an excuse to buy hot new clothes, or increase your likelihood of getting laid (hey, I’m not here to judge) is up to you. Forget about any preconceived notions and be true to yourself.
不管你健身是为了活得更久、树立榜样、提高活力、增加自信、买漂亮衣服，还是单纯为了变得性感，都没问题。别去管那些先入为主的想法，真实做你自己吧。
The more specific you can make your goal,
制定的计划越详细，
The more vivid it will be in your imagination,
预想情形也就越逼真；
The more encouraged you’ll be,
越是自我激励，
The more likely it is you will succeed (because yes, you CAN do this!).
就越有可能取得成功。因为，你能行！
