And Justin will build six-pack ABS. If he can't practice, he will drink his favorite coriander juice. This bet can be said to be very powerful.
With the broadcast of the program, the two also made their achievements public. Zhang Xinyi 15 days, from 66 kg to 55.9 kg. Justin has developed eight abdominal muscles. Justin, who dotes on his wife, also gave her silkworm chrysalis. It's really amazing that you can achieve such results in half a month.
We all know that losing weight is actually a very painful thing. How many people keep saying that they have lost weight countless times, but they can't stand the temptation of food.
How many people keep saying that they want to exercise and get a fitness card, but they haven't been there several times. How many people say that they can't control themselves and just want to eat but don't want to exercise. But only by controlling yourself, working hard enough and being strict enough can you have what you want.
Being strict with yourself is actually a kind of self-management ability, which requires us to have good control ability.
This is actually anti-human and requires us to get out of our comfort zone. We need to control our desires.
In Laozi's Tao Te Ching, the word with the highest frequency is inversion. Why is it antonym? Almost all the things we want to do to make ourselves better in life are anti-human. For example, evolution, learning, exercise and controlling emotions are all anti-human things that make us better, and all of them need us to get out of our comfort zone.
Human nature is lazy and enjoyable, but when we want to be what we want to be, we have to force ourselves to do many difficult things. Then either give up persistence and control yourself to do it. Instead of enjoying life.
Franklin himself created a virtue of 13, and he has been practicing it, which has made him gain a lot. But among these virtues, he put temperance first. Why?
He said that moderation is the first thing, because it helps us to be calm and clear-headed, which is very helpful for us to resist strong temptations and help us to remain vigilant and prevent being attracted by old habits.
Franklin was really strong. He started with our daily diet, three meals a day, and trained his control ability every day.
When we control our diet day after day, it shows that our self-control ability has improved. Think about it, if you meet your favorite food at ordinary times, will you eat a lot at once? Don't eat if you don't want to eat, or eat junk food and don't eat three meals on time.
When you control your diet, your willpower will definitely improve, because you have learned to be strict with yourself. Then the things behind will naturally be much easier.
I think the cultivation of self-discipline actually needs to control such a process. If you know moderation, self-discipline will be easy. Many people say that they are procrastinating, easily attracted by mobile phones, unable to persist and unable to exercise self-discipline.
Then I think it's actually a matter of moderation. You have no restraint, it's easy to get stuck looking at your mobile phone. You can't control yourself. Just like before abstinence, you are very casual, eat as much as you like, and don't eat if you don't want to. This is a process of self-management.
In the book "skins", grandma once said, "The body is for use, not for serving." Grandma often throws her uncle into the water to learn to swim. Grandma let out a little cry after cutting off her hand with a kitchen knife.
Many people are hedonists and don't want to make their bodies suffer. But if we can't force ourselves to do something difficult, then we may never be better ourselves. Although those things may make us feel bitter and tired, they will make us gain a better self and hone our will.
Zhang Xinyi said that after she gave birth, a director asked her to play a fat girl, but she refused. She said that she could gain weight in order to play this role well, but she couldn't accept herself because she was fat. This is an artist's strict requirements for himself. It can also make him a better self.
And those who are strict with themselves will also make great achievements.
Haruki Murakami started writing at the age of 30 and running at the age of 33, and insisted on writing and running at a fixed pace every day. Even get up at about four o'clock in the morning without an alarm clock, because the biological clock has its own alarm property, and it bounces out of bed when it arrives. Make coffee, eat snacks, don't brush Facebook, don't cut your nails, don't sleep, don't think about life, and start working at once.
Write for five or six hours until ten o'clock in the morning. Write ten pages a day, each with 400 words. What if I can't write eight pages? Force yourself to write ten pages, like a knife rest around your neck.
Persistence is the hardest thing to do. When we want to give up, we must tell ourselves to stick to it. Only by being strict with yourself can you become a better self.
1. Set yourself a goal, the clearer the better, the more specific the better.
There is a teacher who insists on reading and writing every day. Friends around her asked her why you insisted. She said that you should work hard just as you want to succeed. Whether a thing can be done depends on your will.
You must know what your goal is and what you want most. And this goal must be specific. For example, Zhang Xinyi's goal is to lose 55 pounds by the deadline, instead of always saying I want to lose weight, I want to lose weight. This is just a slogan. So you know where you're going.
2. Cut off the posterior approach. Set a punishment or make a public commitment.
It was in the program that Zhang Xinyi and Justin made a bet in public. If two people don't work hard, they will become jokes. For example, after giving birth to a baby, Nana once set up a flag on the Weibo to practice the vest line within three months. If he can't do it, he will call himself a liar. Of course, she finally did it.
We can also supervise ourselves in this way, make what we want to do and what we want to achieve public in the circle of friends, and let our relatives and friends supervise ourselves. Or give yourself a reward after achieving your goal.
3. Find a professional to help yourself.
In the book The Road to Financial Freedom, it is said that if you want to achieve financial freedom, you need a coach to learn from him and then imitate him.
Finding a professional to help you will save you a lot of detours.
When we go to the gym, we sometimes find a person who can't use machinery. The wrong way to exercise, wasting time, has become a joke.
So when you are still in the primary stage, it is best to find a professional to help you.
When we can't help but go to the burger joint, when we follow the drama episode after episode, and when we delay doing those simple things, we are actually controlled by our brains.
Victor Frank, Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist. He was treated cruelly in the Nazi concentration camp. After countless twists and turns and thinking, he understood one thing: anything a person has can be deprived of more. Only the last freedom of human nature, that is, the freedom to choose one's attitude and lifestyle under any circumstances, cannot be deprived.
In fact, we can form an active consciousness to control our brains. We can refuse snacks and lie down with Ge You, and we can choose to do things that are difficult but can make us better.
What kind of person we become depends on what kind of requirements and standards we have for ourselves.
