　　Hibernation¹ doesn't mean being anti social. Here are 5 hibernation hacks² designed to help you enter 2016 with grace, ease, and power!

　　蛰居并不是反社会。以下5条蛰居技能让你优雅自如、活力无限地跨入2016年。

　　2016年要活出优雅从容

　　1. Meditate³: Take 5-10 minutes to strengthen the brain by focusing on the breath. Remember the key is consistency⁴. This will leave you feeling clear and in control.

　　1、冥想：花5到10分钟集中精神调整呼吸。记住，关键在于持之以恒。这样你会神清气爽、一切尽在掌握。

　　2. Journal: Start each journal entry by completing this sentence,"2016 the year I _______!" Often times we stifle⁵ our deepest desires and goal because we're afraid. Unleashing⁶ these will leave you feeling powerful.

　　2、写日志：每一篇日志开篇都填好这句话“2016年我要_________________！”通常，因为害怕，我们会压抑我们内心最深处的欲望和目标。放开这一切，你会倍感强大。

　　3. Share who you will be in 2016: We are a "DOING" society, and define ourselves by what we do. Write this down by using the sentence "In 2016 I will be _____". Our actions then have to match that way of being and naturally what you DO will also shift.

　　3、和大家分享2016年你会成为怎样的人：我们身处一个“表现”的社会，我们的行为为我们代言。写下“2016年，我将会___________”这句话。我们的行为会和社会存在相匹配，自然而然言行也会改变。

　　4. Commit to your health (seriously): Increase your fruit/vegetable intake⁷, drink more water, and get back into the gym. When we nourish ourselves and move, leaving us feeling better.

　　4、认真对待健康：增加蔬果的摄入量、多喝水、重回健身房。我们得到滋养继续前行，感觉会更好。

　　5. Say "No": There's a lot going on this month and you will get invitations for dinners, parties, and events that you may have no interest in attending. You simply say "I appreciate the invitation but I'd rather not go."

　　5、说”不“：这个月颇不宁静，你收到了晚餐、派对和各种让你无甚兴趣的活动邀请函。你只要说，“谢谢你的邀请，但我还是不去了吧。”

　　Try it out for yourself, hibernate⁸ for a week and see how it goes.

　　亲自试试看吧，蛰伏一个礼拜看看是否行之有效。
