(problem). One of them is more spending, because people are
(easy) attracted by the discount. So how to keep a good state of mind in front of temptation is an important lesson many people need to learn.

Imagine falling towards the planet Earth at awesome speed of 300 kilometers per hour. You start your fall from over four kilometers above the Earth. And you have less than one minute before you pull your parachute (降落伞）cord. You are falling
fast that just turning your head can send you off
a different direction. This is the wild side of a sport that has not found its limit—freeflying.
Freeflying (base) on the more traditional skydiving,
of which are eye-catching. However, it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements. Freeflyers,
the name suggests, enjoy the more spontaneous(即兴的）thrill of doing their own things.
The wildest trip for a freeflyers is falling ‘head down’. Falling ‘head first’ requires a great deal of control, which means (travel) not only fast but also steadily. Even the
(slight) movement has a great effect on your direction.
They wear the amusing jumpsuits, strange helmets and smaller parachutes. (actual), their parachutes are about one quarter the size of the traditional skydiver’s parachutes. It is only in the last few years
freeflying has gained any real public acceptance.

Creating good habits can be as tough as breaking bad habits. From my experience, one of the most important factors make forming a new habit hard is that a lot of willpower
(require), at least in the beginning, and that alone can prevent many people correctly developing their desired habits.
Now instead of just using willpower and reminding (you) to start the new habit each day, why don’t you just link it to an existing one? I have done
experience. It started with just 20 pushups (俯卧撑), something easy. So before I showered each day, I would do the pushups.
a couple of days, I increased the amount just to make it a bit more challenging.
Gradually, over the course of about 3 months, I’m now doing 100 pushups. And as the habit grew stronger, it got easier to do so (natural). Now I know the habit is pretty much ingrained (根深蒂固), for I feel like something is missing
I don’t do this before showering. I found it pretty easy
(create) this habit and not much willpower was involved.
I think the key, apart from using an (exist) habit, is to start out with something really easy. Once that starts becoming part of your
(day) routine, add on to it.
