The New Year always brings with it a cultural tradition of new possibilities. We see it as a chance for renewal. We begin to dream of new possible selves.(1)____________________________. For some of us, we roll that dreamy film in our heads just because it is the beginning of the New Year, but we are serious about making changes. We just make some half hard resolution and it evaporates after a week or two.(2)__________________________. It’s not the changes impossible, but it won’t last unless our resolutions are supported with plans for implementation. We have to make our intensions manageable by detailing the specific steps that will carry us to our goal.
Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting and cutting off sweets. But one night you just have to have a cookie and you know there is a bag of your favorites in the cupboard.(3)__________________________. You say to yourself, "What the hell. " and polish off the whole bag. Then you begin to draw all kinds of unpleasant conclusions about yourself. To protect your sense of yourself, you begin to discount the goal. You may think, "Well , dieting wasn’t that important to me and I wouldn’t make it anyhow." So you’ll abandon the goal and return to your bad habits.
1. We design our ideal self or an image that is quite different from what we are now.
2. The experiences make us feel less successful and lead us to discount our possibility to change in the future.
3. You want one, you eat two, you check the bag and find out you just shot 132 calories.
we desire our ideal selves or quite ~different with what we are now
the experience make us less successful and leave us diacount our abilities to change in the future
you want one ,you ate two ,you change the burget ``````
