Have you ever made a promise to yourself that you didn’t keep? Commonly, when the new year ticks over, we make resolutions: going to the gym, studying harder or giving up a bad habit. Sadly, not long after we’ve made the promise, we often end up breaking them. But what if you want to create a new good habit? Well, it’s possible, but willpower might not be the only thing you need.

The basic idea of a habit is something we do almost unconsciously. An example of this would be having breakfast or saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. Good habits can be part of your daily routine. But if we don’t have those habits, how can we create them? According to a study published by the European Journal of Social Psychology, it takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit. However, relying only on determination may not be the answer.

Questioning why you want something to be the norm（常态） rather than relying on your resolve could be the key. Do you want to lose weight because you want to be healthier or feel more attractive? The issue is, willpower could be subject to your mood – a bad mood may mean you don’t want to do something.

You should also avoid trying to change too much at once – remember that it’s a case of baby steps. Giving up all your favourite foods, going to the gym, and stopping drinking at the same time will probably result in failure rather than sustainable practice. And don’t worry about failing – just start again!

Finally, don’t do things outside your comfort zone. If you hate mushrooms, don’t persevere and try to add them to your diet just to be healthier. Eat something you like! It might not be quick, but if you follow these tips, you may be able to change something for the better or kick a bad habit.

There has been a rise in road traffic accidents from the beginning of this year until Friday, the Traffic Police (TP) said in a statement on Saturday. TP recorded 36 deadly accidents which resulted in 38 deaths, or an increase of three severe accidents and four deaths, respectively, compared with the same period last year. The rise was due mainly to victims who were motorcyclists and vehicle passengers. The top causes of deadly accidents since the beginning of this year were failing to keep a proper lookout, failing to have proper control of the vehicle, and pedestrians crossing roads without paying attention to traffic.

The power of persuasion

You’re shopping, and you see two similar products. How do you decide which one to buy? You might think you make this decision by yourself--but this isn’t always the case.

Don’t believe it? Try this. What word is missing?

APPLE       TREE          GRASS               GR_______

What was the first word you thought of? Did you think of “green”? That’s probably because we influence your answer. The words “tree” and “grass” made you think of the color green, right? This is an example of priming.

Priming is a way to “use hints to influence your attitudes and responses, often without you even noticing.” Priming speeds up our decision-making. That’s why advertisers use it to persuade us to buy things.

Use of color is one type of priming. Studies show that red gives people warm and positive feelings. We feel good about products connected with the color red, so we want to buy them. Green, on the other hand, makes products seem natural. Food companies often use green packages to make their food seem healthy.

Descriptions in ads and signs also influence buying decisions. For example, studies show that if an ad says there’s a limit to the number of items you can buy, you’ll want more of them. Why? According to psychologist, something becomes more attractive if it’s rare.

The sounds in ads also influence decision-making. For example, advertisers sometimes use rhymes in their ads. In a study, researchers showed people pairs of messages with the same meaning--one that rhymed and one that didn’t. The study found that people are more likely to believe the rhyming message.

Advertisers use a lot of techniques to persuade customers to buy their products. You might think you’re in control when you shop, but maybe you’re not. Priming strategies would be influencing your decision.
