Have you ever tried to set up a flag and set a goal, but it didn't last for a few days?
Have you made up your mind to lose weight, opened a fitness card, and finally insisted on it several times? Every time you stand in front of the mirror in the gym and take a lot of photos, you choose the most satisfactory one to punch in the circle of friends. As a result, the number of times you punch in the circle of friends is the number of times you go to the gym. Finally, your card has expired, but you haven't been there many times?
Have you ever tried to go to bed early and get up early, quit the bad habit of staying up late, toss and turn in bed, and finally get up and play with your mobile phone?
We all know that all Excellence is inseparable from the self-discipline of ascetic monks. However, it is easier said than done. Every time I make a decision to change, I am always defeated by laziness and desire and give up again and again. After all, it is easier to give up the word than to stick to it.
It is not easy to insist on self-discipline. Try these suggestions.
1, not pursuing the standard of 100%, 75 points is enough.
We often set ourselves a grand goal, and often give up the whole flag because of a small mistake in the process of completing it. Once you don't get up on time, give up getting up early; Once I gave up exercise without going to the gym to run; I gave up learning English the first time I met an English word that I couldn't pronounce. ......
At this time, we should accept our imperfections and learn to reconcile with ourselves. There is innate inertia in human nature. We insist on self-discipline, which is essentially against our own inertia. Only by defeating your inertia again and again can you achieve a better self.
What does it matter to get up late occasionally and sleep until noon?
Indulge yourself occasionally, have dinner with friends, eat and drink, and go to the gym less. What does it matter?
Whether a person is self-disciplined or not depends not on his behavior once or twice or for two days a day, but on the stability of his behavior over a long time span. Leave some room for yourself, allow yourself to indulge again and again, and accept your imperfections.
Lowering expectations, the pursuit is not temporary perfection, but long-term persistence, in order to ensure the sustainability of self-discipline.
2. Divide the goal into many small goals that can be achieved.
Wan Li Road, even the Long March, is a step by step. When we set a goal, we break it down into many easy-to-achieve goals. We must quantify the number of goals in order to better test the degree of completion and adjust our behavior in time, thus improving efficiency.
Take weight loss as an example, you want to lose weight to achieve the effect of slimming and shaping. Don't lose 20 pounds as soon as you come up. First, set a goal of 3 months, and lose 2 kg every month, quantified as losing weight every two weeks 1 kg.
This division is easier to achieve the goal.
