我们回来了，2026年见！

嗨，欢迎回到《Eat Your Crest》播客。

Hi, welcome back to Eat Your Crest podcast.

我是Crystal。

I'm Crystal.

我是Jisoo。

And I'm Jisoo.

哇。

Wow.

感觉怎么样

How does it feel

回到2026年？

to be back in 2026?

我简直不敢相信已经到2026年1月了。

I can't believe it's January 2026 already.

天啊。

Dude.

我觉得十二月一下子就消失了。

I feel like December just disappeared.

等等。

Wait.

我完全同意。

I completely agree.

我觉得十二月飞快地过去了。

I feel like December flew by.

我记得和一些同事聊天时，我们都说：等等，十二月都快结束了。

I remember chatting with some coworkers and we were like, wait, December's like almost over.

现在已经是一月了，如果你想想的话，至少当这一集发布时，一月也快结束了。

Now it's January and if you think about it, at least by the time this episode releases, January is just about over.

不过我觉得一月通常是全年最长的月份之一，尤其是对许多在假期期间休假的人来说，这是他们第一次回到办公室。

Although I feel like January tends to be one of the longest months of the year, especially because it's the first time you're back in the office for a lot of people who take time off during the holidays.

所以每天都要上班，真的让这个月显得格外漫长。

So having to go in every single day really adds to how long the month feels.

你觉得这个月过得长吗？

Does it feel long for you?

我觉得是的。

I think so.

怎么才第九天啊？

Like how is it only the ninth?

我都觉得已经到月中了。

I feel like it's mid month already.

我想也是。

I guess that's true.

感觉既长又短。

It feels long but also short.

因为虽然还没到月中，但一月已经过去了一周半左右了。

Because even though it's not quite mid month, about a week and a half has already passed of January.

我想是吧。

I guess so.

我觉得过去这一周就像把三周压缩成了四天，你知道吗？

I think I just feel like this past week has been three weeks combined into four days, you know?

我懂你的意思。

I get what you mean.

不过我觉得一月对我而言也过得挺快的。

I think January has felt kind of a little fast for me too, though.

我觉得是因为有些事情要来了，我还在想，等等，怎么已经到这儿了。

I think just because I had some stuff coming up and I was like, wait, it's already here.

天啊。

Damn.

我觉得是因为你马上要旅行了。

I feel like, you know, it's because you have travel coming up.

旅行就像是让一个月变得飞快的作弊码。

Travel is like a cheat code to making a month feel short.

这倒是真的，但旅行也伴随着截止日期。

I guess that's true, but along with the travel comes deadlines.

我当时想，天哪。

I was like, oh god.

没错。

Facts.

我觉得截止日期会把时间放大五倍。

And I feel like deadlines equals time x, like, five.

是的，确实如此。

Yeah, that's true.

截止日期总是悄悄逼近。

Deadlines creep up on you.

还记得去年我们在最后几期节目中说过，一月通常是社交活动比较少的月份吧？

Well, remember how we said last year in one of our last few episodes, we said that January is usually the quiet month, at least in social obligations.

到目前为止，你觉得是这样吗？

Do you feel like that's true so far?

到目前为止是的，我特别享受这一点。

So far, yes, and I have been loving it.

我有时候发现，在安静的月份里安排社交活动，反而会让这些活动显得更有意义。

I actually sometimes find that having social plans on quiet months make the social plans more impactful.

是的。

Mhmm.

所以我现有的那几项计划，我都特别期待。

So the few plans that I do have, I find myself being really excited for.

我觉得这个月我也没被邀请出去玩，这其实挺好的。

I think I have also happily not been asked to hang out this month.

我觉得今年开头安静一点可能挺好，因为一些听众可能知道，根据中国生肖，2026年实际上是火马年。

I think it's probably good that we're having a nice and quiet start to the year because as some of our listeners may know, 2026 is technically supposed to be the fire horse year according to the Chinese zodiac.

那这意味着什么？

So what does that mean?

为什么叫火马年？

Why why is it a fire horse?

我做了一些初步的研究。

So I did some preliminary research.

好的。

Okay.

你们中的很多人可能知道，农历的每一年都对应一个生肖。

And a lot of you may know, every year in the lunar calendar is attributed to a zodiac.

在这种情况下，生肖是马年。

So in this case, the zodiac is the horse year.

而且据说还有一个叫做六十甲子的循环，这意味着除了生肖动物之外，还有一个元素与之关联。

And apparently there's also something called a sexagenarian cycle, which means that on top of the zodiac, which is an animal, there's an element associated with it.

所以对于你和我，水晶，因为我们出生在1996年，我们都是鼠。

So for you and me, Crystal, since we are born in 1996, we are both rats.

是的。

Yeah.

而1996年，鼠的五行属性是火。

And 1996, the rat cycle was in its fire element.

所以我们实际上是火鼠。

So we are actually fire rats.

哦，有意思。

Oh, interesting.

一共有五种不同的元素可以对应某一年。

And there's five different elements that a year could be.

火、土、金、水和木。

Fire, earth, metal, water, and wood.

好的。

Okay.

而我们现在正处于火元素周期，所以今年是火马年。

And right now we are in the fire cycle, which is why it's the year of the fire horse.

有了这个六十甲子的生肖体系，我想其中蕴含了很多不同的含义。

With this sexagenarian zodiac, I guess there's a lot of different meaning attributed to it.

据说火马年象征着强烈的能量、热情和转变。

So apparently the fire horse is supposed to signify intense energy, passion, and transformation.

这意味着这些年会充满剧烈的变动，有时甚至更倾向于混乱。

That means there's gonna be a lot of intense and potential change, sometimes leaning more towards like chaos in these years.

还有一些奇怪的事情。

There's some weird stuff too.

比如，据我所知，历史上这有时与日本的低出生率有关。

Like I guess historically, sometimes this is tied with low birth rates in Japan.

等等，为什么偏偏是日本？

Wait, why specifically in Japan?

我也不清楚。

I don't even know.

但如果你直接在谷歌搜索‘火马’，打开维基百科页面，上面写着：有些人相信这会导致日本的出生率下降，天哪。

But if you literally Google fire horse and go on Wikipedia, on the page it says, some people believe that this leads to low birth rates in Japan Oh my god.

在那些年份。

On those years.

别太当真。

Take it with a grain of salt.

但六十甲子周期是六十年。

But the sexagenarian cycle is about sixty years.

所以这是六十年来第一次遇到火马年。

So this is the first time in sixty years that it's a fire horse year.

等等。

Wait.

所以火元素是持续六十年吗？

So it's supposed to be fire for, like, sixty years?

我觉得火元素只持续两年。

I think it's fire for two years.

哦。

Oh.

火马年从今年开始，我觉得明年是火羊年。

The fire horse year starts this year, and then I think next year it's like fire goat.

嗯。

Mhmm.

再下一年是两个土年、两个金年、两个水年、两个木年。

And then the year after, it's two earth years, two metal, two water, two wood.

我不记得确切的顺序了，但就是这样循环下去。

I I don't know the exact order, but so on and so forth.

它会循环往复。

It, like, cycles through.

等等，这太疯狂了。

Wait, that's crazy.

好吧，这让我很好奇，因为你提到我们1996年是火鼠年，而我的星座也是火象星座。

Okay, I'm this makes me very curious now because you said that we're fire rats from '96, and my astrology sign is a fire sign too.

哇哦。

Woah.

三重火年？

Triple fire year?

你难道不是吗？

Are you not also?

哦，我也是。

Oh, I am.

你说得对。

You're right.

哇。

Woah.

所以我们俩都是双火，再加上今年又是火年。

So we're both, like, double fire, and then now this year is a fire year.

这太疯狂了。

This is crazy.

好吧。

Well, okay.

我查了下火马年对火鼠意味着什么。

I did look into what the fire horse year means for fire rats.

好的。

Okay.

因为即使不考虑我们的其他火象星座，双火已经让我觉得很强了。

Because I did feel like the double fire, even without considering our other fire sign, was intense.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

而且它说，对于火鼠来说，2026年可能会非常动态且具有变革性。

And it says that for fire rats, 2026 can be very dynamic and transformative.

由于双方都有火元素，会充满能量、动力和成长的机会，这挺有意思的，因为我在TikTok上看到的关于鼠马的讨论基本上都是负面的。

And because there's two shared fire elements, there's gonna be a lot of energy, motivation, and opportunities for growth, which is kind of interesting because the rat horse rhetoric I've been seeing on TikTok has been, like, very negative.

你知道的，比如这会是疯狂的一年。

You know, like, this is gonna be a crazy year.

但它说，这基本上会是充满张力的一年，而这种张力也会带来成长的机会。

But it says that basically it's gonna be an intense year, but with intensity, there's gonna be growth opportunities.

所以要保持适应性，保持灵活性，为今年可能找上门来的各种事情做好准备。

So stay adaptable, stay flexible, and just like be prepared for everything that's gonna come to your doorstep this year.

我明白了。

I see.

是的。

Yeah.

我也听到很多说法，说今年鼠年简直是最不走运的。

I've also been hearing a lot of, rat is literally the most unlucky this year.

我心想，老兄，我们是不是完蛋了？

And I'm like, dude, are we just fucked?

天啊。

Oh god.

我感觉我们就像

I feel like we're

要参加一场大考一样，你知道吗？

going into a big exam or something, you know?

对吧？

I know, right?

这让我有点紧张。

It makes me a little nervous.

好吧。

Okay.

但知道事情并不全都是负面的，这很好。

But good to know that it's not all negative.

更像我们需要随机应变，适应变化。

It's more like we need to roll with the punches and adapt with the change.

是的。

Yeah.

抓住这个充满变化的一年，把它当作成长的机会，我觉得。

Capitalise on a year where a lot of things are happening and just use it as a growth opportunity, I think.

哇，这真的很有意思。

Wow, that's so interesting though.

我想知道占星术和生肖学是怎么融合的。

I wonder how astrology and zodiac ology mixes.

我需要一位专家来给我解释一下我今年会是什么样子。

I would need an expert to come and explain how my year is gonna look.

是啊，对吧？

I know, right?

我一直对亚洲那些专业的算命师或星座解读师很好奇，我一直想问他们几个问题，我想。

I've always been really curious about those professional fortune tellers or zodiac readers in Asia, and I've always wanted to ask them a few questions, I guess.

老兄，但我最大的恐惧是听到一些永远无法忘记的事情，你知道吗？

Dude, my greatest fear though is like hearing something that I can never unhear, you know?

我觉得我很容易被别人说的话影响。

I feel like I'm so easily swayed by things that people say.

所以他们随便编点什么，我都会记一辈子，直到临终。

So they could say something completely made up and I would just carry that with me till my deathbed.

我知道，中国很多人会用它来取名，也会用来选定日期。

I mean, a lot of people in China, I know, use it to help come up with names as well as determine dates.

比如婚礼或纪念日这样的特殊日子。

Any special date such as weddings or anniversaries.

我觉得他们甚至会为生日也挑选日子。

I think they'll even try for birthdays sometimes.

比如，这个日子适合尝试怀孕。

Like, this date is good to, I guess, try to conceive.

我不

I don't

知道。

know.

是的。

Yeah.

你知道吗，我过去看待这类事情——无论是星座还是某些文化中的迷信——的时候，我会想，反正这些都不是真的，那有什么关系呢？

You know, I feel like the way that I've thought about this kind of stuff, whether it's zodiac or superstitions in certain cultures, like all of these things, I feel like when I was younger, I would be like, well, it's not real anyway, so what does it matter?

但随着我年纪渐长，它是不是真的已经不重要了。

But the older I get, it doesn't even matter that it's real or fake or whatever.

我觉得重要的是这些行为背后的用心：坐下来思考，有哪些方式能让我获得更多好运，或者这会有帮助吗？

I feel like the intentionality behind these things, sitting down and thinking about, oh, what are ways that I could bring myself more fortune or, like, would this help?

而仅仅保持一种积极的心态本身就已经非常有益了。

And just having the general positive mindset in itself could be so beneficial.

所以我觉得在我快30岁的时候，我会觉得读这些内容真的超有趣。

So I think in my late 20s I'm like, wait reading about this stuff is so fun.

这太棒了。

Like this is awesome.

等等，我完全同意。

Wait I actually totally agree.

因为我想我并没有太关注那些说某年特别适合属鼠的年份。

Because I guess I don't pay as much attention to the years where they're like, oh this year is hella good for rat.

也许是因为最近没发生过。

Maybe because it hasn't happened recently.

但我觉得，知道这一年可能不太幸运，反而会悄悄降低我的预期。

But I feel like knowing that this year might be on the more unlucky side, it low key just lowers expectations.

所以我进入这一年的时候，虽然我也不太迷信，但还是会想：哦，好吧。

So I come into the year and yeah, like, I'm definitely also not super superstitious, but coming into the year, I'm like, oh, okay.

嗯，这可能是个倒霉年。

Well, it might be a bad luck year.

所以我想，如果事情出了问题，那也不是我的错。

So I guess if things go wrong, it's not even my fault.

只是，你知道的，是外部力量的安排之类的。

It's just, you know, the will of the external forces or whatever.

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得这几乎让你不必对自己和这一年抱有不切实际的期望。

I feel like it almost absolves you from having these unrealistic expectations for yourself and for the year.

而且，这也让人更脚踏实地，去思考我生活中那些无法控制的因素。

And it's also just, like, grounding to think about all the elements in my life that I can't control.

你知道的？

You know?

有时候我觉得，尤其是在一月份，会特别执着于：我该怎么做才能让这一年变好？

Sometimes I feel like especially in January, get so fixated on like what can I do to make this year good?

但并不是总能由你选择的。

But it's not always something that you can choose.

是的，确实有些事情就像你说的，完全超出了我们的控制。

Yeah, like there's definitely things that are just, like you said, way out of our control.

我觉得另一个好处是，我们进入这一年时已经预期它可能会很难。

I feel like another pro is that we're going into this year expecting like, Oh, it might be a hard year.

然后当我们结束这一年时，可能会惊讶地发现：哦，等一下，其实也没那么糟。

And then when we finish this year, we might be like, Oh wait, that was not bad at all.

我想现在说还太早，但到目前为止，一月对我还算不错。

I guess it's too soon to say, but so far January has been treating me well.

希望它对你也还不错。

And hopefully it has been treating you well.

所以，你知道，这种预警也许只是个参考，不一定真的会应验。

So, you know, maybe the warning is just a good to know, but not necessarily something that will come true.

新年才刚过了两周而已。

Barely two weeks into the new year.

嘿，我只是保持积极的心态。

Hey, I'm just staying positive.

而且说实话，一个月就是四周。

And you know, honestly, one month is just four weeks.

所以，你知道的。

So, you know.

哦，但我想，如果你仔细想想，现在其实还不到马年。

Oh, but I guess also, if you think about it, it's actually not the year of the horse yet.

哦，对啊。

Oh, true.

今年的农历新年好像是二月，我想。

Lunar New Year's is like February, I think, this year.

大概是二月中旬。

Like mid Feb.

也许这是我们好运的最后几天了。

Maybe these are our last few days of good luck.

哦，或者说是中等的运气。

Oh, Or moderate luck.

你说得太对了。

You're so right.

难怪最近这么平静。

No wonder it's been so peaceful.

好吧，撇开火马年不谈，你对新年还有什么其他的期望或目标吗？

Well, fire horse year aside, do you have any other general expectations or maybe goals for the new year?

实际上，我确实有一个。

Actually, I do have one.

现实是我们正在变老。

The reality is we're getting older.

去年我也跟朋友们聊过这一点，但我不记得是否在播客里提过。

I've been talking about this a bit last year too to our friends, but I don't remember if I ever mentioned it on the podcast.

但我之前读到过，女性更容易患上骨质疏松症，也就是骨骼脆弱、易碎。

But basically I read somewhere that women are much more prone to osteoporosis, which is like brittle bones and weak bones.

所以为了对抗这一点，你应该尽量多活动。

So to combat that, you should try to be more active.

一些非常有益的活动包括举重，就是做一些对骨骼施加更多压力的事情，让骨骼变得更坚固。

Some really helpful activities are weightliftingjust things to put more pressure on your bones so that they grow stronger.

对。

Right.

去年我开始更加努力地增加活动量，所以今年我要加倍投入。

So last year I started to kind of put some more effort into being more active, and so this year I'm doubling down on it.

而且我在做这些事情时，尽量不让它变得困难。

And I'm trying to do things while keeping in mind to not make it hard.

本质上是选择阻力最小的路径，同时又能实现有助于最终目标的事情。

Basically choosing the path with the least resistance while also being able to accomplish things that help the ultimate goal.

哦。

Oh.

那么，你能举些例子，说明你是如何让这条路变得更容易的吗？

So what are some examples of ways that you make it the path of least resistance?

是的，其中一个例子是我很清楚自己自控力很差。

Yeah, so one example is that I'm very aware that I have bad self discipline.

所以如果我的目标只是规定自己每周去三次健身房，那我根本不可能实现，因为我没有足够的自控力每次都说服自己去，这一点我通过多年的生活经验早就明白了。

So if my goal were to just be, I need to go to the gym three times a week, there's just no way I would accomplish that because I don't have the self discipline to convince myself to go every time, and I know this through, like, my whatever years of life.

但我清楚的是，我对团体课程之类能强迫自己承担责任的活动反应很好。

But what I do know is I respond well to group classes or something that almost forces accountability onto myself.

所以每周三我都会参加一个健身课，当时我想：天啊，我得为这课花钱，但正因为花了钱，我知道自己一定会去。

So on Wednesdays I have this workout class, which I was like, Damn, I have to pay some money for this, but because I'm paying money, I know I'll always show up.

等等，我完全明白你的意思。

Wait, I know exactly what you mean.

现在变得真实而具体了。

Now it's real and tangible.

是的，Exactly。

Yeah, exactly.

我想：好吧，我就坚持这个。

I'm like, Okay, I'll keep this.

每次我想放弃时，我都会想，这是我有史以来最坚持的一次，因为我花钱报名了这个课程。

Every time I think about stopping it, I'm like, this is the most consistent I've ever been because I'm paying money to like attend this thing.

这个课程很棒的地方在于它是团体课，价格不贵，而且我还可以请教练重点指导一些对其他运动有帮助的动作。

What's great about this class is that it's a group class so it's like not super expensive and then also I can ask my trainer to focus on certain movements that might help in other things.

所以最近我一直在专注于一些能帮助我打高尔夫的动作。

So like recently I've been focusing on movements that'll help in golf.

不过这个问题的另一部分是，这个课程安排在星期三，而我星期二、三、四都要去办公室。

The other part of this issue though was that this class is on Wednesdays, and I go to the office on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

我当时想，既然课程在星期三，那我就不想在星期二提前锻炼，因为万一练完肌肉酸痛，星期三就得受罪了。

And I was like, well this class is on a Wednesday so I don't want to work out on Tuesday beforehand because then what if I get sore and then I have to suffer on Wednesday?

我也不想在星期四锻炼，因为万一星期三练得太累，星期四会更痛苦。

I don't want to do Thursday because what if Wednesday makes me sore?

这会让星期四变得更加难受。

And that causes Thursday to be more painful.

所以我找到了星期一和星期五的课程，心想：好吧，我至少得参加周一或周五其中一节，如果状态好，我就两节都参加。

So I managed to find a class on Mondays and Fridays and I was like, okay, all I have to do is attend the class at least on one of those days, Monday or Friday, and if I'm feeling good, I should do both.

而且这个课程离我家更近，所以我没必要非得在上班的时候才能方便参加课程，如果这么说能明白的话。

And this class is much closer to my home, so I don't feel like I have to be at work to be close to the class to be able to attend it, if that makes

哦，是的。

Oh, yeah.

这样安排挺好的。

That works out nicely.

你觉得参加这些课程，以及更普遍地进行举重，会让你感觉不一样吗？

Do you feel like going to these classes and just weightlifting more in general makes you feel differently?

我不知道。

I don't know.

实际上，也许吧。

Actually, maybe.

因为我大概是去年年中开始上这些周三的课程的，我确实感觉自己变强壮了一点，而且觉得我的高尔夫球打得更远了。

Because I started these Wednesday classes maybe like halfway into last year, and I do feel like I've gotten a little stronger, and I feel like my golf balls go a little farther.

这可是我唯一的衡量标准。

That's like my only measurement.

我觉得，至少对我来说，我是个需要即时满足的人。

I feel like, at least for me, I'm so someone who needs gratification.

所以你提到的举重的长期好处，比如增强骨骼或增加肌肉质量，但我也需要短期的回报，对吧？

So the long term benefits of weightlifting you mentioned are like bone strength or like adding muscle mass, but I also need that short term gain, right?

没错，没错。

True, true.

很高兴你有短期的回报，也就是打高尔夫的好处。

So I'm happy that you have a short term gain, AKA golf, golf benefits.

这其实是个非常好的观点。

That is actually a really good point.

我觉得当你看不到短期回报时，会很难坚持。

I think it's hard when you don't see short term gain.

你会想，唉，我为什么还要继续做这个？

You're like, oh, why do I keep doing this?

是的。

Yeah.

所以这可能是另一件事。

So maybe that's another thing.

我得想想，有什么好办法能提醒自己正在取得进展。

I'll have to think about what is a good way of reminding myself that there's being progress made.

我的意思是，就举重而言，有太多方式可以追踪进展了。

I mean, I think with weightlifting specifically, there's so many ways to track that.

一种是，我的举重重量有没有增加？

One is, are my lifts going up in weight?

另一种是体型上的变化之类的。

And then another one is aesthetic gains and whatnot.

我觉得，作为一个一生中长期 obsess 于自己身材的人，我发现锻炼的目的不仅仅是追求外表，这一点真的很酷，甚至令人鼓舞。

And I feel like as someone who has obsessed over like my body for so much of my life, I actually find it really cool and almost inspiring that what you look for and, like, want to gain out of exercise is not purely aesthetic.

这对我来说简直令人震惊。

It's, like, kind of mind blowing for me.

你知道吗

You know what

我的意思是？

I mean?

我的意思是，别误会。

I mean, don't get me wrong.

它确实有美观方面的益处。

There's definitely an aesthetic benefit to it.

对吧。

Right.

但归根结底，是的，我只是想在年老时不至于衰弱下去。

But ultimately, yeah, I'm just trying to not wither away in our old age.

但真正让你觉得不能再把健康视为理所当然的，确实是这一年。

It really is the year though where I feel like you just stop taking health for granted.

自从大学以来，感觉一直在走下坡路，但现在锻炼和相关事情上多了很多主动性。

It's kind of been like a downward slope since our college years, but there's so much more like intentionality behind exercise and whatnot now too.

我总是想，该怎么平衡增强核心力量、举更重的重量和提升心肺耐力这些目标呢？

I'm always like, how do I balance wanting to strengthen my core with wanting to lift heavier, with wanting to like gain more cardio fitness.

那怎么

And how

把这安排

do I fit it

进一周七天里呢？

into a seven day week?

确实如此。

So true.

我也觉得，我还需要休息日。

I'm like, I need rest days too.

我知道有些人能一直坚持不休息。

I know some people just power through that.

我不是那种人。

I am not

之一。

one of those.

不过我觉得这挺有意思的。

I think it's been fun, though.

我今年的锻炼目标之一是以更全面的方式进行锻炼。

One of my exercise goals this year has been to exercise in a more holistic way.

不再仅仅为了减重或外貌而锻炼，而是想在我有一天成为妈妈之前，改善一些对自己重要的方面。

Let go of just wanting to exercise for weight loss or my looks, but also wanting to improve certain things for myself before I become a mom one day.

哇哦。

Woah.

这实际上大大改善了我与锻炼的关系，因为我想要的不只是可见的成果，你知道的？

It's actually improved my relationship with exercise significantly because I want not just visible gains, you know?

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得这一切的另一个因素是，随着我们变老，身边的人也在变老，对吧？

I feel like another factor to all of this is as we get older, the people around us get older too, right?

所以我觉得，突然间，我身边的所有人都更容易腰背疼痛或受伤了。

So I feel like just suddenly everyone around me is hurting their backs more or experiencing injuries more.

所以我觉得这也是让我有点害怕的一个因素。

So I think that is also a factor that freaks me out a bit.

所以我心想，唉，我得好好提升一下自己的活动能力了。

So I'm like, oh, I better, like, up my mobility.

老兄，有时候情况恰恰相反。

Dude, sometimes it's like the inverse too.

所有那些比我年长但依然保持健美的人都让我意识到，他们其实锻炼得很多。

All the people who are older than me and are fit, I realize actually exercise a lot.

于是我心想，天啊，我要练到什么程度，才能像你这个年纪时那样？

And I'm like, Oh God, like how much exercise do I need to do to look like that when I'm your age?

天哪。

Oh my God.

对吧？

I know, right?

因为我也并不想彻底改变我的生活。

Because I also don't wanna change my life.

因为有些人会特别投入，对吧？

Because some people get really into it, right?

他们会算卡路里，我不知道，还会精确测量自己需要锻炼多少。

And they, like, calorie count and they, I don't know, measure out how much they need to exercise.

简直每天都要好几次。

It's like every single day, multiple times a day.

但我觉得，老兄，我骨子里就是个沙发土豆，你知道的？

But I'm like, dude, in my heart, I'm a couch potato at my core, you know?

我觉得如果一下子做出太大改变，我根本不可能持续坚持下去。

I'm not I feel like if I try to make too big of a change at once, there's just no way I would be able to follow through consistently.

是的。

Yeah.

我懂你的意思。

I know what you mean.

我的领悟是，从追求享乐的生活，慢慢学会重新定义什么是让我感到愉悦的事，同时也不再抗拒那些对我有益的事情。

My learning has been moving from a very pleasure seeking life and learning to redefine what pleasure looks like and feels to me, and also not fighting things that are good for me.

我觉得年轻的时候，那些对我有益的事情和让我感觉愉快的事情几乎是两个极端。

I think when I was younger, it was almost like a spectrum of things that are good for me and things that feel good.

它们像是处于光谱的两端。

And it was like opposite ends.

是的。

Yeah.

但现在我意识到，这更像是一个重叠的维恩图，有很多事情既让我感到愉快，又对我有益。

And now I realize it's more of like an overlapping Venn diagram where there's tons of things that feel good and also are good for me.

我不应该因为自己不渴望就直接否定某些事情。

And I shouldn't cast things off because I don't crave it.

尤其是像锻炼、吃得更好或早点睡觉这些事情，我可以学会更享受它们。

And especially something like exercise or eating better or going to sleep earlier, these are things that I can learn to enjoy more.

所以我一直在努力这么做。

So I've been trying to do so.

是的，我觉得这是一种看待这个问题的很好方式。

Yeah, I think that's a really good way of looking at it.

既然我知道做这件事真的会让我感觉良好，那我为什么还要抗拒呢？

Why am I fighting this when I know when I do this it actually does feel good?

是的。

Yeah.

我想这就是每个成年人都要经历的，然后我们都变成了早上五点起床的成年人。

I guess this is what every adult goes through, and then we all become adults that wake up at 5AM.

哦，原来如此。

Oh, okay.

我不确定是不是这样。

I don't know about that part.

我的意思是，我离那个状态还远着呢，但我能看见自己的未来。

I mean, I'm not even close to being there, but I feel like I can see my future.

什么？

What?

我最多只会做到早上九点起床。

I will stay waking up at 9AM at the earliest.

天哪。

Oh man.

我记得有一次我们发短信，我说：老兄，我明天得早起上班，八点左右吧。

I remember one time we were texting and I was like, dude, like, I have to wake up so early for work tomorrow, 8AM or something.

你却说：什么？

And you were like, what?

我真该记住自己的过去，因为我以前觉得早上九点上课简直太难起床了。

I should really remember my roots because I used to find it so hard to wake up for, like, 9AM classes.

老兄，我 literally 退掉了我所有……等等，我记得选课的时候就想：我为什么要选这些九点的课？

Dude, I literally dropped out of all of my wait, I think when I was signing up for classes, was like, why am I signing up for these nine ams?

我应该选那些下午五点的课才对。

I should be signing up for these five pm's.

我觉得这也是我学到的一点：无论是锻炼还是其他很多事，我以前都会在个人日历上专门安排时间。

I think that has also been a learning for me too because with exercise or just a lot of things that I've had on my plate, I used to block out on my personal calendar.

早上五点去健身房，然后去上班。

Go to the gym at 5AM before work.

天啊。

Oh my god.

然后下班后还要在晚上八点到十点之间做这个任务。

And then do this assignment at eight to 10PM after work.

然后我就不得不把这些事情推迟到第二天，或者推迟到下周，因为我实在没时间也没精力做这些事。

And then I would be forced to, like, move these things over to the next day or, like, to next week because I'm like, I don't have the time or energy to do these things.

嗯。

Mhmm.

直到现在我才意识到，好吧。

And then only now am I realizing, okay.

也许如果我觉得自己不想做或者做不到，就不该这样安排。

Maybe if I feel like I can't or won't want to do this, I shouldn't schedule it like this.

你懂我的意思吗？

You know what I mean?

也许我应该更现实一点，考虑自己的身体能承受多少。

Like, maybe I should be realistic about what my body can handle.

是的。

Yes.

但实际上，我完全能理解。

Actually, I can totally relate, though.

我觉得我也存在这个问题，也许可以说，我对自己的期望太高了。

I think I have that problem too, where I expect more of myself maybe is like a good way to put it.

我会想，哦，对，我有时间，肯定能提前三天把这项任务做完。

I'm like, oh yeah, I'm gonna get this task done three days early because I have time.

但真到那时候，我又觉得，唉，不想做。

Then when it comes down to it, I'm like, wait, don't feel like it.

推迟到下周吧。

Move to next week.

对。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

是的。

Yeah.

我的意思是，有抱负、为自己争取更多东西总是好的。

I mean, I think it's always good to be ambitious and, like, want a lot for yourself.

但我刚刚意识到，有时候这会以牺牲其他事情为代价。

But I just realized sometimes it just comes at the expense of other things.

嗯。

Mhmm.

我可以早上五点起床去健身，但那样上班时就会状态极差，像个僵尸一样。

I could wake up at 5AM and go to the gym, but then I'm gonna be really shitty and, like, a zombie at work.

之后我只会小睡一觉，晚上八点左右醒来，感觉糟透了。

Afterwards, I'm just gonna nap, wake up at, like, 8PM feeling like shit.

我意识到，我需要有策略地安排生活，是的。

I was, like, I need to be strategic Yeah.

对自己的人生要有策略。

About my own life.

我们需要能够欺骗自己的大脑，让它想要做所有事情。

We need to, like, be able to trick our minds into wanting to do everything.

是的。

Yes.

完全正确。

Totally.

好吧。

Okay.

这和2026年有点无关，但和衰老有关。

This is kind of unrelated to 2026, but it is related to aging.

嗯。

Mhmm.

我意识到，衰老的一个重要方面就是愈合速度变慢了。

I realized that a big part of aging means that you don't heal as quickly.

嗯。

Mhmm.
