Meditation is not thinking nothing, but not being too distracted. The purpose of meditation is actually to take back your attention and focus on the original goal. ?

2. exercise?

Exercise can improve the baseline of heart rate variability, thus changing the physiological basis of self-control. When neurobiologists examine these people who have just started exercising, they find that their brains produce more cellular gray matter and white matter. Among them, white matter can connect brain cells quickly and effectively. Like meditation, exercise can enrich the brain and make it run faster.

sleep

Scientific research has found that long-term lack of sleep makes people easily feel pressure, desire and temptation. Sleep has the same effect on the brain as mild drunkenness. In a state of drunkenness, I have no self-control and am unconscious of what I have done. Therefore, to improve self-control, we must have enough sleep. ?

Waiting 10min doesn't seem too long for what you want. But neuroscientists have found that 10 minutes can greatly change the way the brain processes rewards. If you have to wait 10 minutes to get timely satisfaction, your brain will see it as a reward in the future. If there is no strong physiological impulse to choose "even if satisfied", the reward commitment system will not be so active. ?

Step 5 promise in advance

You will face all kinds of temptations in life. Therefore, before you are tempted or deceived in the future, you might as well be prepared to refuse the temptation and make a choice in advance. For example, if you want to force yourself to exercise, you can spend a lot of money to get an annual fitness card first. If you don't want to waste the money you spend, you will try to go to the gym to exercise. ?

6, join the group, infection control?

It is often seen in life that a boy will become diligent and enterprising because his favorite girl skips class, smokes and fights. He may have tried to be a good student before, but he felt that he had poor self-control and could not do it at all.

However, when the person you like happens to be Xueba, his self-control will come back in minutes. This is actually the power of infection. ?

7. Accept yourself internally and control your actions externally?

When I talked about procrastination, I mentioned that facing up to your desires, being loyal to your feelings and suppressing your punishment will only backfire, making it easier for you to think, feel and do what you originally wanted to escape. Instead, accept yourself, but don't indulge.
