Article 007 1 13: Self-discipline blessing will benefit you for life.

"Self-discipline gives me freedom" is the beginning of the sports software keep. For people who love sports now, this slogan has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

There are three self-disciplined people around me.

There is also a self-disciplined young man in my running group He was my guide when I started running. He applied what he learned in the Book of Changes to his life. He gets up at 4: 30 every morning, reads, runs and does housework. "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?" Before going to work, I always clean my room, just to have a good mood when I come home every day. Runners like to call him Nana Ogawa, and they respect him.

I also have such a self-disciplined mother in my book club. She is a teacher who loves helping others and reading. Four years ago, she left a book club because of a business accident of a blogger. As the president of the branch, she didn't give up. For more than four years, she insisted on punching cards, reading books, writing tips and simple book reviews with team members. Now, she continues to practice with Xiao Bao on her way to school. People who love books like to call her jam, and they are full of respect for it.

The three small cases just now are all true stories of people around us. They have been blessed by their own self-discipline in different directions, adhering to the conscience that "knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the achievement of knowledge" and won different surprises.

So what is self-discipline? On Wikipedia, there is no strict definition, but different people have different opinions on the understanding of self-discipline.

Some people think that self-discipline refers to a person's necessary ability to achieve a specific goal by managing his words and deeds; Some people think that self-discipline itself is always doing things that go against our instinctive habits, characterized by upward and persistence; Some people think that self-discipline is the constant persistence and accumulation of what they love to do; Some people think that self-discipline is the choice of attitude towards life and our persistence and aspiration. ...

I think everyone should always ask yourself when growing up, do you have a specific goal that you are trying to achieve, but do you feel that some obstacles are holding you back?

Maybe you want to be an early riser, but you have the habit of going to bed late. What obstacles do you think are holding you back? Find them, otherwise the motivation of self-discipline will be greatly reduced, just like a detective solving a case, find motivation and find out. For example, the purpose of getting up early is to exercise. I don't want to be a "greasy" uncle, I don't want to be troubled by "three highs", and I don't want my family to be dragged down by me.

Learn to adhere to self-discipline, there will be great feedback. For example, the village chief's reply, because of the reply, he can find detailed information about everything now, so that every minute in the past is not wasted, and he knows where he went and what he did.

Self-discipline not only records life, but also provides opportunities for reflection. For example, quitting smoking is because someone personally realized the harm of smoking and made up his mind to correct it; Losing weight is because someone has personally experienced the troubles caused by the "three highs" and made up his mind to exercise; Love nagging, because some people are determined to restrain their impulse to talk because of the trouble caused by talking too much, and get rid of the problem of "being a teacher", and so on.

But on the road of change, not everyone will succeed in self-discipline, and there will be various temptations and voices around him, drifting away from the goal and even giving up.

1, in terms of internal factors.

There is a kind of person, like me, who is sometimes blind, lacks planning and is not persistent enough in his goals. Pay little attention to results and lack long-term consideration. We know that one thing may be beneficial, but if we don't see this benefit in the short term, we will find it meaningless and have no motivation to persist. For example, in the process of applying for CPA study, there is a lack of practical methods in the formulation and implementation of goals, which leads to getting off the bus halfway now.

2. From the perspective of family background.

In the process of our growth, being born in a family will more or less become the shadow of the growth of a generation. For example, some people don't want to be bound by rules and regulations because their parents were born in a family with strict family education, and their education for their children is relatively democratic. They don't want to force their children to learn that, so they don't form the habit of self-discipline and follow their inclinations, which leads to the educated children following the crowd in habit formation without too many constraints and restrictions.

3. From the outside.

Some people will suffer so-called "care" because they insist on self-discipline, and will advise you not to be so bitter and persistent. These people may not be unkind, but they are a stumbling block on the way forward. The only way for people to make progress is to keep climbing. If they enjoy their present achievements, they will fall into the trap of satisfaction, and the comfort zone is their biggest worry.

There may be many reasons that affect the persistence and progress of self-discipline. For example, some people will say that family is a drag, work is troublesome, and children are an influence. But I saw the growth brought by self-discipline from the three small partners around me. Combined with my experience, I might as well do self-discipline from the following points:

1, target visualization

Visual goal is the key to your strategy, and the goal must be clear, otherwise it will be like a cannon hitting a mosquito and the mosquito will not move; Like a fly without a head, it can only run around. For example, if you want children to learn how to store things, you can't just vaguely tell them to "put things away", but specifically tell them what kind of things to put in what specific location.

2. Find the smallest action

Sitting still and refusing to take action is the key to failure. With motivation and clear goals, we must take action to achieve the unity of knowledge and action, which is what we often say. Isn't there a joke? "Come out to mix, what is the most important? Come out. " Find a feasible minimum action and do it. With this step, the following action will turn like a gear.

Luo Zhenyu, the founder of Luo Ji Thinking, often said: "Come, let's implement it." Every time I have a dinner chat, I always say this sentence at the end of the dinner when I have a new idea: "This meal is really rewarding today. Come on, let's put the results on the ground.

3. The ladder of sustainable action

The next step is the specific play. Break down the specific goals one by one, and then plan to accomplish different goals at different stages. Your action steps can be anything. For example, limit the time that prevents you from exercising, or make sure that your sportswear is ready the night before.

5, constant feedback adjustment

Simply put, there are many uncertainties in the future. In the face of uncertainty, we either lay out the layout in advance or make constant adjustments according to the progress feedback. Many times, our predictive ability is limited, and it is difficult to arrange everything in advance. Many things can only be learned from practice, which makes up for our ability to write "scripts" in advance and achieves "from practice to practice".

Looking back on my long-distance running experience, it has been four years now. From the initial persistence and intermittent recovery to the present, I deeply understand the benefits of self-discipline, that is, to do anything, we must act, have goals, persist in doing it for a long time, speak with results, and wait for unexpected surprises. Will benefit us for life.

Let's encourage together.
