● Make a list of the rewards（回报）related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.
When you want to lose 40 pounds, it may seem like a difficult goal. 4.. You can lower your blood sugar or fit into your favorite pair of jeans. Keep those rewards in mind to encourage yourself to stick to your diet and exercise program.
