The time for New Year resolutions is here again. But is it worth the pain to make resolutions?

    As the New Year gets closer, it is the time for people to make resolutions. There will promises about living a better life: losing weight, eating more healthy foods, exercising and more. The problem is that these resolutions don’t travel beyond January. Is it worth it at all?

    One will agree that making New Year resolutions have become a formality. It doesn’t matter whether they are followed or not. It is just like eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Like goes on as usual after a resolution is made.

    There is a way of living that can remove the deception of New Year resolution.

    Be frank with yourself
    There is no need deceiving yourself. If you know very well you don’t carry out New Year resolutions, don’t make one at all. You give yourself too much guilty conscience by making promises that you can’t keep. It reduces your self esteem as you turn to see yourself as good for nothing. Be frank with yourself and free your mind from the gimmick.

    Live everyday as if there is no other
    The division of time into years and moths are human. Free yourself from these artificial creations and live like a person. New Years will come and go. Nothing makes January 1 more special than May 10. They all have 24 hours. Make daily resolutions rather.

    Do the right thing once you get to know it
    You must live the best life every moment. If you know eating a kind of food is not healthy, don’t wait till New Year’s Eve before you say you want to stop eating it. Stop it immediately. Life and health knows no holiday. Doing what is good should not wait for a particular day.

    When you follow these guidelines you will save yourself the bad feeling of not carrying out New Year resolutions.

    又到新年决心的时间了。但是值得去做这些决心吗？

    当新年越来越近，就是人们制定新年计划的时候了。这些将会保证你过一个更好的生活：减肥，吃更多的健康食品，锻炼以及其他。问题是下决心要在1月之前开始。是否值这样做呢？

    任何人都会赞同使新年决心变成一个程序。至于是否遵从决心并不重要。就如在感恩节吃火鸡。像下了决心之后又像往常一样了。

    有一种生活方式可以消除新年决心的这种欺骗。

    对自己坦白

    没有必要欺骗自己。如果你知道自己不能实现新年决心，那么就不要下决心。如果你承诺了却做不到只会给自己太多内疚感。它会减弱自尊，视自己一无是处。对自己坦白并将自己的思想从骗人的把戏中解放出来。

    每天毫无退路的活着

    人类将时间划分成年和月。将自己从工艺创作中解放出来，像个人一样的活着。新年将会来又去。1月1日并不比5月10日特别到哪里去。他们都是24个小时。宁可做每日决心。

    一旦了解，就做正确的事

    你必须每时每刻过最好的生活。如果你知道吃某种食物对健康不利，那就不要等到除夕之夜再说你想停止吃它。应立马停止。生活和健康没有假日。做一件好事就不要等到特别的一天才开始做。

    当你遵从这些指导方针的时候，你就会使自己从不能实现新年决心的坏感觉中解放出来。
