It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day – and your life. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to fine-tune who you are, and build on lessons of what you have learned. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life and switch gears, instead of thinking in the same old ways, hoping for a different outcome.
不一定非得要在1月1日才有机会最大限度地利用你的每一天,其实每一天都是一个全新的开始,让我们去学习、成长、发展自己的能力,让自己从过去的悔恨和伤痛中痊愈,变得更加睿智。每一天,我们都有机会根据以前所学的知识来重新调整自己。今天试着去改变生活中那些无益的事情,永远都不会太晚。改变思维,期待一个完全不同的结果。

Be nimble, be flexible, and keep and open mind to start each day anew! Flexibility is the key!
保持机警,懂得变通,保持开放的心态去开始每个全新的一天!灵活变通是关键!

Ask yourself: How do you wake up each day? Do you start your day going already feeling pressured and rushed? Do you go through the morning routine without much thought at all, doing what you “have to do” to start your day?
问问自己:你每天都是怎么醒来的?是否在你醒来的时候,你已经感到压力重重和慌张?你是否一切照常,而没有想太多你要做什么去开始新的一天?

How about starting each new day with a moment to stop, breathe and think of a positive intention for the day.
不如这样:每天伊始,让自己停顿一下,深呼吸并想一下这一天中的积极目的。

Think not just what you want to DO, but how you want to BE today?
不仅要想想你想做什么,还要思考你想以什么样的状态度过今天?

Each day is a new beginning and a blank slate. How would you like to create your day? Think of it as a blank canvas – what would you like to paint on it. What can you create? If you wake up in a negative mindset, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your canvas will not reflect hope, happiness and joy.
每一天都是一个全新的开始,就像一张白纸。你想怎样度过你的每一天?把它想象成一匹白色的布——你想在上面画上什么,你能实现什么?如果你消极地醒来,很大可能就会让这一整天都蒙上深色的基调,而你的画布上也不会体现出希望、快乐和喜悦。

If you take each day to think positively, and have a positive intention for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What positive outcome can reflect your positive intention?
如果你积极地看待每一天,对于如何度过每一天都有积极的想法,那么你的生命会有什么不同?你的正面想法又会有什么样的好结果?

What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an “attitude of gratitude.”
每天都拥有积极想法会发生什么作用?那就是每一天你都能收到“感恩”这份大礼。

Visualizing how you would like your day will help release positive energy from within you and you will attract more positive energy from those around you. Instead of spinning your wheels in an old way of thinking, each day is a chance to reframe and re-look at things in a different way.
在脑海里构想下你的一天,能让你释放正面能量,你也能够从你的周边吸取更多的正面能量。不要带着陈旧的观点过下去,每一天都是从不同角度重新计划和审视一切的好机会。

You can experience each day an awe in the beauty and creation of the world – and the beauty of you who is in it!
带着敬畏之心经历每一天这个世界的美好和创造,还有生活其中美好的你。

You find yourself shifting from an “”I can’t mindset” to an “I can” mindset.”
你就会发现原来你已经从原来的那个“我不能够”的思维模式切换到了“我能够”。

With a focus on positive intentions, you feel more empowered and more like a “victor” than a “victim.”
保持积极的心态,你会感到力量无穷,更像一个胜利者而不是一个受害者。

You are more mindful of the present, and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don’t want to live there!
活在当下,就更有可能充实的过好现在的每一天。毕竟,过去只是一个回忆的好地方,而你不会想生活在过去!

So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day? Each morning, write it down and reflect each evening on how you did!
所以为何不在每天伊始的时候,花一点儿时间思考一下今天的正面目的呢?每天早上都把自己的目标写下来,每天晚上反思你所做的!

Here are examples of Positive Intentions:
下是一些正面能量的例子:

“Today I would like to replace my feelings of annoyance towards my co-worker to feelings of acceptance.”
“今天我想要把我对同事的厌倦转化为接受”

“I am looking forward today to focusing on what I am grateful for in my life, rather than what is missing, and express gratefulness to others.”
“我希望今天能够感激所拥有的,而不是遗憾所失去的,同时向别人表示感谢”。

“Today I want to slow my life down and take time to savor the moment, especially with my children”
“今天我要放慢我的步伐,尽情享受一段时光,和孩子们的特别时光”。

Using each day to recommit yourself to positive thinking and intention will help you create the life you want and that you deserve!
每一天都保持积极乐观的想法和目标,能让你过上想要并值得拥有的生活!
