Recent articles are related to personal growth and tools , Suddenly think of what I read a few months ago 《 Cognitive Awakening 》, This book allows us to avoid detours on the road of personal improvement from the internal and external dimensions .

Post epidemic Era , There are fewer activities in the company , Family activities are also less ,19 After year , I have never driven far away , Every day at home and at work , One day 、 a week 、 A month later , The brain has no memory points . Days seem to fall into for The cycle is the same , Keep repeating , People are prone to fatigue .

This book can give us some guidance , Let's actually do something , Enrich our lives .

author 36 I began to explore at the age of , From chaos to alertness , From confusion to clarity , Know how to stimulate and maintain the internal motivation of self-improvement . therefore , It's never too late , The best time to change yourself , One was ten years ago , The other is now .

When we don't think , Every day, step by step , No anxiety . however , Whether active or passive , One day I will wake up , Want to get promoted in work , Want to improve your ability , I want my family to be happy , Then you will be anxious , Because desire is greater than ability , I want too much , Will feel that time is not enough , Feel confused , Many things I want to do and I don't know how to start .

The author believes that the root cause of anxiety is ： be anxious for success , Want to do a lot of things at the same time ; to take the easy way , Want to see the effect immediately without much effort . The solution is to first accept and admit anxiety , Then be patient , And long-term patience . Ding Xipo wrote a book 《 Long term patience 》, It's about the growth and evolution of meituan , Wang Xing also relied on long-term patience to get from the hundred regiments war to today .

Solved the problem of anxiety , The author focuses on 、 Learning ability 、 Action power 、 The four aspects of emotional power explain specifically how to move forward with the help of .

I'm very impressed by a little story about concentration in the book ：

A walker asked the old monk ：“ What were you doing before you got the Tao ？” The old monk said ：“ Chop wood 、 Carrying water 、 Cooking .” Question of traveler ：“ After that, how about ？” The old monk said ：“ Chop wood 、 Carrying water 、 Cooking .” The traveler asked again ：“ Then what is Tao ？” The old monk said ：“ Before you get there , When cutting firewood, remember to carry water , Remember to cook when carrying water ; After getting the way , Cutting wood means cutting wood , Carrying water means carrying water , Cooking is cooking .”

Study , The author is divided into three areas ： Comfort zone 、 The marginal zone 、 Difficult areas , Stay in the comfort zone for a long time , No matter how diligent it is, it is only inefficient diligence , The goal setting is too high to reach the difficult area , It's easy to lose enthusiasm . We need to constantly explore the edge , Put yourself in the best range , Both retain the sense of achievement in learning , It also ensures the challenge of learning .

In the learning process , To push myself , We often punch in everywhere ： Circle of friends 、 Various punch groups . The author believes that the future cannot be achieved by punching cards , If a thing is delayed , Always remember , Looking forward to an early end ; Once this is done , The motivation to do this will immediately tend to zero .

I agree with half of this view , I think clock in still has the function of urging , But it needs to be carried out for a long time . last year 9 In June, I punched in my circle of friends and insisted 100 Five kilometers a day . After the end , People will relax , Stopped running for a long time . I made adjustments this year , Still punch in , But the goal is every month 100 km ,1 It can be adjusted flexibly within months , Finally, it's OK . Now? 2022 It's over half a year , The mileage has been 600 Many kilometers .

Like the author , I have also been said to be a person with strong action , Maybe it's because I saw my circle of friends insist 100 Days of running clock . Besides running , I have been writing official account for several years . I agree with a growing paradox mentioned by the author ： People who want to see the results first and then act often cannot see the results .

Many things are accumulated slowly , It will come naturally . In the process of accumulation, we need to think and feedback , Lack of thinking , I don't know the next step ; Lack of feedback , There is less motivation for the next step .

As for emotions , Everyone will have , But look at things from different angles and positions , The result will be different , Emotions also change . Recently, I saw an example of pedal effect, which well explains this dual nature ：

Pedal effect is an economic term . People usually use 「 Squeeze the bus 」 To explain this phenomenon ： When the crowded bus stops at the platform , People under the car will desperately squeeze into the car , While squeezing, he begged the people in the car to move in , So that I can squeeze myself into the car ; And once squeezed , Will try to stop the people under the car who are still squeezing into the car ――「 Stop pushing , There are no seats in the car , Wait for the next bus ！」 Attitude moment 180 Take a sharp turn . This is it. 「 Pedal effect 」, The behavioral logic behind people's words and deeds ―― Position determines opinion .

therefore , When there is emotion , Pause for a minute , Enter your own thinking corner , Think from multiple perspectives , It is likely that I have been relieved in the process of thinking .

I prefer this book , There is another reason related to Chapter 8 , Chapter 8 talks about the way of growth with the lowest cost , Contains ： Get up early 、 meditation 、 read 、 writing 、 motion . Except meditation , I am currently doing several other things , And keep doing .

Getting up early gives me more time , There is no traffic jam on the road 、 Don't spend time looking for a parking space 、 Don't spend time waiting for the elevator , These can save a lot of time ; Exercise makes me have a better body , It also makes my daily work and life full of energy , Navar said , He put personal health first in all things ; Reading and writing can expand my knowledge and bring thinking .

I wish everyone a smooth journey in their personal growth .
