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.

(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.
