How to Manage Your New-Year Expectations

如何管理你对新一年的期待

By Courtney Rubin

Ah, New Year's Eve is fast approaching, and it's finally time to leave the wreckage of 2020 behind. Except for many people, it seems as if not much will change except the year on the calendar. If you're wondering how to emotionally prepare for the months ahead - and maybe even find some joy in the coming season - here's some advice.

哎呀呀，跨年夜就快来了，终于可以把一团糟的2020抛到脑后了。但是，对于很多人而言，除了日历上的年份数字，似乎并不会有什么变化。如果你正在琢磨如何为来年做好心理准备。没准儿还想在下个春天有个好心情，请参考以下建议。

Stay in the moment.

持续处于当下

Endurance sports psychology tells us that the body is capable of far more than the brain believes. If someone had told you in March how long the pandemic would last, would you have thought you could handle it? So focus on the moment, not the big picture.

耐力运动心理学表明：我们的身体能做到的，远比大脑以为的要多。如果今年三月，有人告诉你这场疫情会一直持续下去，你会觉得自己能应付得了吗？所以说，要专注此刻，而非放眼全局。
