One of the best tricks I’ve learned to improve my likelihood of sticking to a habit is so simple it’s sinful.
我从可以改善自己习惯中学到的最好的小技巧，原来如此简单。
 
Stop thinking of a new habit as something you have to do, but as something you are allowed to do. 再不要认为，习惯是你不得不做之事，而是你被允许做的事。
Let’s say you’re starting a workout. Many people think, “OK, I gotta do this. It’s good for me, I’m way too lazy, I need to burn off my fat, if I do this I’ll feel better about myself.” This is wrong, because then the workout is a chore you have to get through to get the benefits, and so you struggle through this boring, hard, sucky thing in order to get to the goal.
设想你开始了一项试验，很多人会这样想:“好吧，我应该这样做，这对我有益。我太懒了，我需要甩掉脂肪，如果我这么做了我一定会感觉更好。”这样想并不对，因为之后你会发现这些试验不过是日常琐事，你必须克服它们，之后才困难的，能有所收获。所以你必须面对这些无聊的，令人讨厌的事情，和它们周旋以达到目标。
Instead, you can simply think, “I’m allowing myself to do this. It’s a treat.
“或者，你可以这样想:“我被允许这样做，这是一种恩赐。”
And it is. A workout can be a lovely thing, where you feel your body moving, you push against the forces of gravity, you triumph despite the difficulty, you get fresh air and gorgeous nature and you are treating your body and being good to it. This is a rare treat.
可以尝试不同的事物确实是一种恩赐。它可以很美好，这让你感觉自己在移动，感觉自己在对抗地心引力，你成功了，虽然期间困难重重，但最终你呼吸到了新鲜空气，接触到了绚丽的大自然，你给自己的身体带来了益处，并且善待自己的身体。这是一种难得的恩赐。
Once you shift from “have to” to “allowed to”, you now feel good about the activity. It’s not a chore, but a treat. It’s not something you struggle through to get the benefit — it is the benefit.
 当你把“不得不”变为“被允许”，你将会对事物产生好感，它并不是日常杂务，而是一种恩赐。它并不需要你为获利而不择手段，它自己本身就是一种获利。
