3 . Most of us think those successful people must have superhuman self-control. Science points that self-control or willpower is often a characteristic of habit. If we have established good habits, little to no will power is required to choose wisely. The only catch is that building good habits takes effort.     1    

Set a specific goal.

    2     You’ll benefit from being more specific about what exactly you aim to do and how often. Don’t say “I’ll exercise regularly.” Say, “I’ll exercise for 15 minutes each day.” Having a bite-size objective makes it easier to get started and see your progress.

    3    

Now that you have set a specific goal, it’s time to think about what will help you to follow through. A plan like “I’ll study Spanish for 30 minutes, five days a week” is OK. But a detailed plan like “Every workday after my last meeting, I’ll spend 30 minutes studying Spanish in my office” is much more likely to stick as a habit.

Make it fun to repeat.

One excellent way to make goal pursuit (追求) fun is to try what is called “relaxing moment.” Consider only letting yourself enjoy some relaxation you desire while working toward your goal.     4     Relaxing moment transforms goal pursuit into a source of pleasure.

Find the right group.

Want to start running regularly? You’re probably better off joining a running club than asking a few friends who are not in the habit of jogging. People in the running club have already built the habits you want.     5     It’s important not to get too crazy—it can be discouraging for you to try training with marathoners when you’re just hoping to work up to a 5K.

A．Create a detailed plan.

B．Make an accurate schedule.

C．You can learn from them about what works.

D．Goals like “exercise regularly” are too abstract.

E．Here are four steps that can help you build a good habit.

F．Running could be very beneficial if you want to keep healthy.

G．For example, only let yourself watch your favorite TV show while at the gym.

6 . You do not need to be a social worker to care for other people. Even as an ordinary citizen, there are simple yet effective ways to be a more caring and helpful person. Those small ways could have a great impact on someone else’s life.     1     , then you can start with these small steps.

    4     . Make time for them intentionally by setting schedules of when to spend time, call, or chat with specific persons. Consistent communication with them will make them feel truly valued.

Whenever you decide to give to others, make sure that you do it with clear intention.     5     . In connection with this, instead of lending someone money, just give them any extra money you have and assure them that they do not have to pay it back. This will not only be a relief for them, but this will save your good relationship from being ruined because of possible payment delays.
