what is self-discipline?

The Road Few People Walk says: "The so-called self-discipline is to solve the pain of life with a positive and active attitude."

the energy-saving mode of our brain will resist everything that wants to make it work hard, and it just wants to lie comfortably.

However, if one wants to achieve something, one must overcome the lazy instinct, become a self-disciplined person and dare to step out of the comfort zone.

The top self-discipline of adults is to do these four things well: sleeping, eating, exercising and reading.

1 Have a good sleep, and you will have the energy to do things when you are full

How long has it been since you had a good sleep?

In the era when everyone has a mobile phone, it seems that a good sleep has become a luxury.

Many people are fascinated by the colorful world in their mobile phones, so they don't want to sleep peacefully and "stay up late in revenge".

Newton said, "Force works mutually". In fact, so does sleep. As you treat it, it will give it to you. If you stay up late in revenge, your body will "retaliate" you.

In the long run, people who stay up late are physically and mentally exhausted and unable to meet new challenges, so they can only "lie flat" and never dare to talk about their dreams again.

Sleep is the most important thing in our life, occupying one third of our life. Only by paying attention to sleep can we have enough energy to do other things well.

Haruki Murakami, a contemporary Japanese writer, has written 14 novels and 11 short stories in more than 4 years, and each of them has sold well all over the world.

Behind this efficient creation is that he has been working and sleeping on time for more than ten years, going to bed at nine o'clock every night, getting up at four o'clock the next morning and taking a half-hour lunch break every day.

about sleeping, he said this: "It's no good dragging your feet to stay up late. It's better to get into bed as soon as it gets dark and wake up with the sun in the morning. "

Good sleep habits give him plenty of energy to read and write, and continuously produce high-quality works.

So, be sure to have a good sleep, it is a high-energy charging treasure for our endurance!

2 Eat well, you eat it.

There is a documentary in the United States called "Big Me", and there is such an experiment:

Director Morgan Spurlock intends to make a challenge: eat only McDonald's food for three meals in a row for 3 days, even drinking water is replaced by McDonald's drinks.

The purpose of this experiment is to prove that McDonald's food is unhealthy, and it is harmful to human body.

Before the experiment, his physical fitness was very good. His height was 187cm, his weight was less than 84 kg, his body fat content was 11%, and he had no history of hereditary diseases.

The experiment started:

Day 1: Breakfast was a Big Mac set meal, and he enjoyed it.

Day 2: Breakfast was another oversized set meal. He only ate half a bag of French fries and half a meat pie in half an hour, and finally he couldn't help spitting it out.

Day 5: I felt slightly nauseous when my weight rose to 87kg;

Day 9: He ate all the food on McDonald's menu, and he found that his mood became easily depressed.

Day 18: His body sent out an alarm signal, his liver function was abnormal, his blood pressure and cholesterol indexes soared, and he was weak and listless.

Day 21: His physical examination showed that there was too much urea, and his liver function seriously exceeded the standard, making it difficult to breathe when he got up early.

Day 29: He is physically and mentally tired, and even the strength to climb the old ladder is almost gone;

Day 3: The weight soared to 95kg, and the cholesterol rose to 233. The doctor said that if he continued to eat like this, it would soon lead to coronary heart disease and cirrhosis.

In just 3 days, people's bodies have changed so much under the influence of fast food.

it's just like that sentence: you are what you eat.

if you eat healthy food, your body will become healthy, and if you eat junk food, your health will get worse.

However, nowadays, for various reasons, many people often order takeout, eat fast food, watch their mobile phones while eating, symbolically chew them twice, and then swallow them ..... the importance of eating well has been ignored.

actually, eating has an unimaginable healing power.

If you pay attention to every meal, eat carefully and chew slowly, you can feel the energy contained in every food, the sweetness of rice, the freshness of vegetables, and the strength of burning meat ...

As Soseki Natsume said, "porridge is delicious, biscuits are delicious, oatmeal is delicious, and it is a blessing to taste delicious meals in life."

Good food can not only fill the stomach and satisfy the taste buds, but also relieve depression and heal the soul.

only when you eat well can you feel comfortable physically and mentally.

3 Good exercise and good health is a person's confidence

As the saying goes, health is the capital of revolution.

In poor health, all dreams are delusions without foundation.

If you want a healthy body, you must keep good exercise habits.

Exercise can not only keep our bodies healthy, but also make our minds strong. Those who are physically and mentally strong are never afraid of difficulties and challenges, and they are not afraid of aging.

Academician Zhong Nanshan is a typical representative.

when he appeared in the public eye, he was tall and straight, full of energy, and he didn't even know he was 85 years old.

This is due to his good exercise habits. He has been exercising for decades, which makes him look like a man in his fifties and sixties.

Zhong Lao said, "Exercise, like eating, has become a part of my life".

No matter how busy he is, he will stick to the rhythm of exercising three times a week for at least one hour each time and keep in good health.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhong Lao is over 8 years old, he still rushes to the front line and maintains high-intensity work.

So, to exercise well, a healthy body is our greatest confidence.

4 Studying hard is the best way to invest in yourself.

Where the eyes can't reach, words can reach.

Reading can help us break away from the barriers of reality, go to a wider sky, fly freely and dream bravely.

Remember Guo Yipeng from Wuhan Institute of Technology?

As a teenager, he was influenced by the stories of Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Qian Xuesen and other celebrities, and he had the idea of studying abroad, hoping to use what he had learned to serve the motherland when he returned.

during his four years in college, he went to the library to study every day and borrowed 169 books a year, which made him a veritable "king of reading" and his academic performance was among the best.

In his junior year, he chose Britain as his destination for studying abroad and actively prepared his application for studying abroad. Huang Tian pays off those who help him. After a five-month application cycle, he received admission notices from nine famous British universities!

So, when you dream, don't live up to it, be patient, study hard and improve yourself.

if you have flowers in your heart and water them with your heart, there will be a day when flowers will bloom!
