It's time for a new year and a new you, but perhaps your heart is not in it this time around. Maybe you're jaded from too many failed New Year's resolutions, or maybe you're just not feeling motivated these days. Here are a few reasons why you may not be feeling it:

新年到了你也该有新面貌。但也许你的心还没有做好准备。也许你厌倦了太多失败的新年决心，也许最近你感觉没什么动力。下面几个原因告诉你你为什么没有动力。

1. It's medical.

身体原因。

Check with your doctor to see if the reason for your lethargy is medically related. Perhaps you're depressed or low on iron — there are plenty of medical conditions that can cause you to be too tired to be motivated, so try to figure out if a medical condition is the cause of it.

去找医生做个检查，看看你死气沉沉的是不是和医学因素有关。也许你抑郁，或者你缺乏铁元素——有许多身体原因都会让你过于疲惫从而缺乏动力，所以要看看这是否是身体原因导致的。

2. You're comfortable.

你过得太安逸了。

If your life is quite comfortable, you may lose motivation to push yourself to grow. Keep in mind that it's always good to get out of your comfort zone, because that's the only way you can improve yourself. Do something you're hesitant about every week, and you'll find yourself getting used to it or even looking forward to the challenge after some time. It can be something small like asking someone you just met out for lunch, or a bigger move like giving honest feedback to your boss.

如果你的生活十分安逸，你也许会失去推动自己进一步成长的动力。记住，让自己跳出舒适区总是有益的，因为这是你自我提升的办法。每周做一些自己迟疑不定的事，然后你会发现自己慢慢习惯，甚至过一段时间会开始期待挑战。这可以是一些小事，比如邀请某个刚刚认识的人共进午餐，也可以是一个大一些的举动，比如给你的老板一个诚实的反馈。

3. Taking on too much.

对自己期待过高。

If you set unrealistic expectations, you are setting yourself up for higher chances of failing, which can cause you to lose motivation. Make sure your goals are actually achievable before setting them.

如果你设定了不现实的目标，那么你失败的可能性更大，这也会让你失去动力。在制定目标前先确保它们是可以实现的。

4. You've given up.

你已经放弃了。

After so many failures, you may be immune to tackling challenges. It can be scary to put yourself out there again, but the greater the risk, the greater the rewards! If you're extremely gun-shy, take baby steps so you'll feel more confident once you manage to score small achievements.

经历过许多失败后，你也许已经不愿意面对挑战了。让自己再度面临挑战也许令人恐惧，但是风险越大，回报也越大。如果你极度害怕失败，那么先迈出一小步，当你取得一些小成就的时候就会感觉更自信。

5. People around you.

你周围的人影响了你。

Maybe you have someone in your life who brings you down, perhaps out of their own insecurities or maybe because they can't adjust to the idea of a different you. Try to explain your reasons for attempting a change to them and ask for their support. If they can't come to terms with it, perhaps it's better to keep your distance until they come around.

也许你的生活中有些人在拖你的后腿，也许是他们自己缺乏安全感，也许是因为他们不习惯接受一个不一样的你。试着向他们解释你试图改变的原因，并且寻求他们的支持。如果他们无法接受，也许你应该和他们保持距离，直到他们明白过来为止。

Remember, the first step to overcoming obstacles is to figure out what's blocking you. Once you come to a better understanding, it'll be easier to get going and find your motivation again.

记住，克服障碍的步是找出阻碍你的原因。一旦你清楚了这些原因，继续前进、重新找回动力就会更容易。
