In China, Spring Festival is a time to get together with family and express your best wishes for the New Year. In Western countries, however, these kinds of New Year’s resolutions(决心) are usually made befor e New Year’s Eve.According to（根据）the Statistics （数据）Brain Research Institute, about 58 percent of US people make these resolutions, but only 9.2 percent of people say they are successful in achieving their resolutions by the end of the year. Why do people fail to maintain their resolutions throughout the year?We all know that controlling our desires when faced with temptation and holding back our hunger for immediate results can help us exercise our willpower and allow us to achieve our goals. But we often give in to our immediate desires because we have poor self-control. Weimagine self-control to be like a resistance band, holding us back from desserts, holding us back from playing video games and finally holding us back from happiness.Adding to this, we often face emotional situations that can lead to stress. We feel stressed at school and use binge eating(暴饮暴食) as an outlet(发泄方式) We find it difficult to improve our studies and decide to ignore our books and try to have fun. We give up on willpower because it makes us miserable. Yet if we are able to strengthen our self-control and willpower, it is very likely that we will achieve our goals. Since it has been two months since 2018 kicked off, let's take some time to reflect on our emotional well-being and resolutions. We should be grateful about what we have now instead of what we want. We should be patient with ourselves and be proud of all our achievements, no matter how tiny they are.Achieving our goals is not a race or competition; it is a step toward being the best person that we can be. Let's make this year a celebration of“us”.【关键词】better you;the best person; resolutions1.
