I woke up this morning and forgot to exercise yesterday.
From February 4 to March 15, I continued to exercise for 40 days and suddenly stopped.
I have had many such experiences before, and I have always adhered to a good self-discipline plan. For some reason, I stopped suddenly, and then I didn't know how to start, so I gave up.
But now I won't.
How to deal with the sudden interruption of the self-discipline plan has the following three points.
First, abandon perfectionism.
I used to be a perfectionist myself, and sometimes we may think that perfectionism is not a derogatory term.
It is generally believed that perfectionism is a positive shortcoming, but in fact perfectionism will cause many negative effects.
For perfectionists, the self-discipline plan of 100 days has been well adhered to in the first 60 days. If you are interrupted for a day or two, you may feel that the plan is not perfect, and you will not stick to it in the future and finally give up.
This is a pity, and this mentality is not desirable.
For a plan of 100 days, even if it doesn't last for two days, it only accounts for 1/50 of the whole plan, which has little effect on the effectiveness of our plan.
We have adhered to the 100-day plan for 98 days and achieved a high degree of completion, which is already a good result in itself. The two days I didn't do will not have a serious impact on the whole plan.
We should accept the reality, the occurrence of this unexpected situation, our occasional bad state and our occasional forgetfulness.
If you don't insist, you don't insist. If you forget, you forget. Just turn over and stick to the plan.
Even if it didn't take 100 days, it was great to do it for 98 days.
Second, according to the previous rhythm.
When the plan is broken, we are likely to be overweight next.
For example, I didn't exercise yesterday, so I started exercising today, probably to make up for yesterday's exercise.
I was supposed to exercise 10 minutes every day. Today, I may make myself make up lessons and exercise for 20 minutes.
But this is actually unnecessary, because in the process of making up, it is likely to exceed your tolerance limit.
The next process may be more easily broken, from a small emergency to the collapse of the whole plan, not worth the candle.
So let go of those two days, forgive yourself and do what you have to do next.
Or according to the original plan, exercise 10 minutes every day, or 10 minutes.
Third, don't lie to yourself.
Adults must be responsible for their actions. As mentioned above, accept yourself, accept your occasional vulnerability, occasional laziness, and occasional emergencies.
We have to grasp it ourselves. Is it really inevitable that this unexpected situation will lead to the plan being broken? Today's fatigue really makes me unable to persist?
If it is an accident that really exists objectively, then we will accept it.
But if it is within our ability, don't break it, to avoid the window-breaking effect and the broken jar.
The 1 time I broke, I didn't forgive myself because of objective circumstances, and then I will probably forgive myself constantly when I am lazy, so the self-discipline plan will lose its original meaning.
It was interrupted yesterday. It doesn't matter. I will continue to do it today. Let's go
