No 28 Healthy Lifestyle 健康生活
To absorb stress, I used to be absorbed in watching comedies while eating sugary nuts, ignoring my dentist and fitness consultant. Feeling worn out, I would rely on cigarette to get refreshed. These bad habits disturbed my physical health, making me feel dizzy and get the flu easily. Having been examined by a surgeon and warned the risk of lung surgery for tobacco abuse, I felt stressed out and turned to a psychology specialist for suggestions.
为了减压，我过去常常沉迷于边看喜剧边吃甜的坚果，不理会我的牙医和健身顾问。感到疲惫时，我会依赖香烟来振作精神。这些坏习惯影响了我的身体健康，让我感到头晕并且容易感冒。经过外科医生的检查，被警告烟草滥用可能导致肺部手术的风险后，我感到很有压力，于是向心理专家寻求建议。
In response to my consultation, he explained to me “habit cycle”, which is composed of three elements: cue, routine, and reward. To faciliate enhancing the quality of my life, I must replace a negative routine with something positive. For instance, don’t ride escalator and take the stairs instead. Stimulated by his sound advice, I skipped and rode a skateboard every day. Aside from this, I went bowling monthly. Eventually, I became a dynamic soldier of the People’s Liberation Army after shaving off my beard.
回复我的咨询时，他向我解释了“习惯循环”，由三个元素组成：暗示、惯例和奖励。为了促进生活质量的提高，我必须用积极的事情来替代消极的惯例行为。例如，不要乘坐电梯，改为走楼梯。受他中肯建议的激励，我每天都会跳绳和玩滑板。此外，我每月去打保龄球。最终，在剃掉胡子后，我成为了人民解放军中一名充满活力的士兵。
