How do you change your life in a year?

如何在一年內改變自己的生活？

You've probably heard the saying: Change is the only constant in life.

你可能聽過這樣一句話：變化是生命中唯一不變的東西。

No matter what you do, change is going to happen, because that's how life works.

無論你做什麼，變革即將發生，因為人生就是這樣。

So on one hand, you could say that change is effortless.

所以，一方面可以說，改變是毫不費力的。

I can probably bet that in a year, there will be some changes in your life.

我大概可以打賭，在一年之內，你的人生會發生一些變化。

But the direction of that change, whether it's for better or worse, that's up to you.

但這種變化的方向是好是壞取決於你。

Whether you spend the year improving a new skill or slipping back into old bad habits, it's really the direction of your change that matters most.

無論你花一年的時間來提升一項新技能還是重新陷入舊的壞習慣，最重要的是你改變的方向。

Which brings us to the first point.

這就引出了第一點。

If you want to change your life for the better, you must first know where you're going.

如果你想改變自己的人生，你必須首先知道你的目標。

In other words: Be intentional about how you want to change.

換句話說：有意識地改變自己。

Your intentions are like a compass, guiding you to your desired destination.

你的意圖就像指南針，引導你到達理想的目的地。

How would you know what route to take if you're not clear about where you're going?

如果你不清楚你要去哪裡，你怎麼知道該走哪條路？

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

「預測未來的最好方法就是創造未來。」

So spend some time deciding how you want to change your life in a year.

所以，請花些時間決定你想在一年內如何改變自己的人生。

One year from now, what do you want to be doing?

一年後，你想做什麼？

Who do you want to become?

你想成為什麼樣的人？

How do you want to feel?

你想要怎樣的感覺？

An exercise I like to do every year is called Current Me vs Future Me.

我每年都會做一個練習，叫做「現在的我與未來的我」。

On one side, you draw your current self, and fill the page with details on who you are, how you feel and what your life looks like right now.

在筆記本的一邊，畫出當前的自我，並在頁面上填寫自己的詳細資訊、你的感受以及你現在的生活是什麼樣的。

Then on the other side, you draw your ideal future self one year from now,

然後在另一邊，你畫出你一年後理想中的未來自我，

and fill that page with details on who you want to become and what you want your life to be like in that future point in time.

並在該頁面上填寫有關你想成為誰以及你希望未來某個時間點的生活的詳細資訊。

This helps you visualize your ideal future self, and seeing it laid out next to your current self helps you begin to connect the dots in-between.

這可以幫助您想像未來理想的自己，並將其與當前的自己放在一起可以幫助你開始將兩者之間的點連接起來。

You'll start to see what steps you could take to make that future a reality.

你將開始瞭解自己可以採取哪些措施讓未來成為現實。

Next, you want to put your intention out there.

接下來，你要把你的意圖說出來。

Write a letter to your future self, detailing your thoughts and what you hope to change in the next year.

給未來的自己寫一封信細，說你的想法以及你希望在明年改變什麼。

A few years ago I found this website called FutureMe, where you can write a letter to yourself, and have it sent to you on a future date.

幾年前，我發現了一個叫 FutureMe 的網站，在這裡，你可以給自己寫一封信，並在未來某個日期寄給自己。

It's like creating a time capsule, which I find fascinating because it's like taking a snapshot of your mind, in that moment in time.

這就像創造一個時間膠囊，我覺得這很有趣，因為它就像在那一刻為你的思想拍了一張快照。

When we go about life, we don't notice how much we're changing until we look back after a large gap of time.

當我們開始生活時，我們不會注意到自己發生了多大的變化，直到我們過了很長一段時間後回頭看。

As we're always living in the present, we can forget who we once were and how we were thinking at a past moment in time.

由於我們總是活在當下，我們可能會忘記我們曾經是誰以及我們在過去的某個時刻是如何思考的。

So journaling, or writing a letter to yourself is one way to measure and become aware of how much you've changed.

因此，寫日記或寫一封信給自己是衡量和意識到自己改變了多少的一種方法。

So try it out.

那就試試吧。

Write a letter to your future self, one year from now.

寫一封信給一年後未來的自己。

Describe how you're feeling now, all your current struggles and worries, and how you hope to change, who you hope to be one year from now, and how you want your life to look.

描述你現在的感受，你目前所有的掙扎和擔憂，你希望如何改變，你希望一年後成為誰，以及你希望你的生活是什麼樣子。

Send it out and then forget about it.

發送出去然後把它忘了。

A year from now, it'll be fun to read that letter, and see how your life has actually changed.

一年後，閱讀這封信，看看你的生活實際上發生了怎樣的變化，將會很有趣。

If you decide to do this, let me know down below because I'm excited to hear your thoughts.

如果你決定這樣做，請在下面告訴我，因為我很高興聽到妳的想法。

After that, it's time to move towards your future vision.

之後，就該朝著你的未來願景前進了。

Make a plan on how to make this change happen.

制定一個如何實現這一改變的計劃。

Then, break down your plan into smaller and smaller bits.

然後，將計劃分解成越來越小的部分。

We've talked a lot about breaking down goals before, so I'll leave some videos below.

關於目標分解，我們之前已經說過很多了Ｍ所以我會在下面留下一些影片。

Instead of overwhelming you with too much info, I'll leave you with one simple concept from Atomic Habits author James Clear.

我不會向你提供過多的訊息，而是向你介紹《原子習慣》作者 James Clear 的一個簡單概念。

"Just get 1% better each day."

「每天進步1%」。

Instead of focusing on hitting goals by a certain timeline, focus on making small choices and actions in the right direction.

不要專注於在特定的時間內實現目標，而要專注於在正確的方向上做出小選擇和行動。

There's a Japanese concept called Kaizen, which means continuous improvement.

日本有一個概念叫 Kaizen，意思是持續改進。

Just focus on continually improving—little by little.

只需專注於不斷改進——一點一點地改進。

In time, those small & consistent changes that 1% a day will compound to amazing results.

隨著時間的推移，那些每天 1% 的微小而持續的變化將產生驚人的結果。

Lastly, it's important to have a system for consistent self reflection.

最後，擁有一個持續自我反思的系統很重要。

Whether you take time quarterly, monthly, or weekly, you need a system to check in with yourself on a regular basis, to see if you're making the right changes and are on track towards your vision.

無論你每季、每月還是每週抽出時間，你都需要一個系統來定期檢查自己，看看你是否做出了正確的改變並朝著你的願景邁進。

It's okay if you fall off or make mistakes.

即使摔倒或犯錯也沒關係。

This is simply a chance to be honest with yourself and remind yourself of your vision and how you wanted to change.

這只是一個對自己誠實的機會，並提醒自己的願景以及你想如何改變。

This is also a chance to change your vision if you wanted to.

如果你想的話，這也是一個改變你的願景的機會。

Nothing is set in stone.

沒有什麼是一成不變的。

All that matters is that you're moving in a positive direction, towards progress.

重要的是，你正在移動朝著正面的方向前進。

So, how do you want to change your life in a year? 

那麼，你想在一年內如何改變自己的生活呢？

Let me know down below.

請在下面告訴我。

In short, set your intention and get clear on your vision.

短期內設定你的意圖，確立你的願景。

Then, baby step improvements, and trust the process.

然後，逐步改進，並相信這個過程。

Trust that in time, things will change for the better.

相信假以時日，一切都會好轉。

You won't be able to feel it because it's gradual, so be patient, and take care of yourself.

你感覺不到，因為它是漸進的，所以要有耐心，照顧好自己。

Everything you need is already within.

你所需要的一切都在其中。
