找出原因

In the process of any form of achievement there will be times where you take a step back – where things don’t go as planned and you fall into a bit of a slump. These moments can hurt, sometimes even enough to make you quite altogether. But don’t quit.Persistence is an aspect of success that many people struggle with because it is difficult to keep working, fly past the tipping point point. I hope these strategies make the road towards your goals simpler, with less interference from steps backwards.
坚持不懈对很多人来说都不是一件易事，因为它需要足够的毅力。本文旨在通过简单的方法帮助大家增强毅力。

Identify the cause. Any solution requires a clear problem. What is it specifically that you’ve deemed to be a step away from your goals? When you break things down like this instead of responding immediately with “Everything’s gone wrong, I’m doomed!” you’re able to think logically without the interference of emotion. Smart decisions can be made in response.
找出原因。每一个结果都是有一定的原因的，找出这个原因，不要和自己说“我什么都不做了，一切都结束了”，相反，冷静思考，为什么自己会这样想。

知道自己在做什么

Remember where you’re going. Have a clear direction, an end goal. This is a key tool for motivating yourself through times where everything feels to be going against you. Every day visualise the exact outcome you want from your goals.
记住自己正在做的事情。要有明确的规划和目标，这是自我动力的源泉。

挫折时暂时的

Realize it’s just a pot hole, not a canyon. It’s a scrape not a flesh wound. Any step back is reversible and rarely requires any major shift in actions or thoughts. Be mindful of what went wrong, acknowledge it, and move on.
记住挫折是暂时的。任何的倒退都是可以挽救的，找出已经错误的地方，勇敢前进。

激励自己

Inspire yourself. What is your inspiration? Music, good books and the videos from Gary Vaynerchuk rarely fail to get me back in my groove. Discover your muses and then exploit the hell out of them in your down times.
Stop doing anything. Be still and relax. Taking a step back can be spurred from burning out and you can’t recover from that by running your engines even hotter. Don’t feel guilty for purposeful unproductiveness. Enjoy it.
鼓励自己。你的动力是什么？音乐，好书还是电视？暂时停下来歇息一会儿，打赏一下自己。

和朋友一起出去

Hang out with friends. This is essentially “Stop doing anything” but with the added distraction of your buddies to help take your mind off your step back. If you want to take a more active approach consider joining a mastermind group. Then you can hang out with like-minded individuals and take steps forward at the same time.
和朋友一起出去。和朋友一起出去散散心，最好是和意志力坚定的朋友一起出去。

听歌

Blast some music. Nothing gets me pumped up more than playing some Ben Harper at a most likely unhealthily loud volume. Get some good speakers (fan of the Logitech Z-10 system myself) and get lost in the melodies.
Get something done. Make some form of progress. Whatever it is doesn’t particularly matter, just kick your mind into gear by realizing that the step back was only temporary.
用音乐来放松自己。做一些力所能及的事，让自己感受到细小的成就。

改善自己的计划

Solidify your plan. What is your current plan of action? Run through it, slowly, and begin revising or removing any weak links. Make your plan a flawless sequence of events to take action on – there’s no room for mediocrity.
改善自己的计划。你现在的目标是什么？平庸不是好事。

微笑

Smile. Force one if you have to. Just smile. It’s proven that the physical act of smiling has the same effect as being genuinely happy. Sit, smile and breath.
微笑。任何时候请记住微笑，微笑并深呼吸。

前进

Step forward. Don’t live in the past. Take action that takes your forward towards your goals. Stepping back is an inevitable part of life – make sure it doesn’t become he only part of life.
前进。不要生活在过去，朝着自己的目标大胆走过去。
