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.

    又到新年決心的時間了。但是值得去做這些決心嗎？

    當新年越來越近，就是人們制定新年計劃的時候了。這些將會保證你過一個更好的生活：減肥，吃更多的健康食品，鍛煉以及其他。問題是下決心要在1月之前開始。是否值這樣做呢？

    任何人都會贊同使新年決心變成一個程序。至于是否遵從決心并不重要。就如在感恩節吃火雞。像下了決心之后又像往常一樣了。

    有一種生活方式可以消除新年決心的這種欺騙。

    對自己坦白

    沒有必要欺騙自己。如果你知道自己不能實現新年決心，那么就不要下決心。如果你承諾了卻做不到只會給自己太多內疚感。它會減弱自尊，視自己一無是處。對自己坦白并將自己的思想從騙人的把戲中解放出來。

    每天毫無退路的活著

    人類將時間劃分成年和月。將自己從工藝創作中解放出來，像個人一樣的活著。新年將會來又去。1月1日并不比5月10日特別到哪里去。他們都是24個小時。寧可做每日決心。

    一旦了解，就做正確的事

    你必須每時每刻過最好的生活。如果你知道吃某種食物對健康不利，那就不要等到除夕之夜再說你想停止吃它。應立馬停止。生活和健康沒有假日。做一件好事就不要等到特別的一天才開始做。

    當你遵從這些指導方針的時候，你就會使自己從不能實現新年決心的壞感覺中解放出來。
