? Perhaps this is impetuous, thinking more and doing less. This is the norm. We should learn to forgive ourselves in the process of struggling with our inner feelings. First of all, I believe that this panic mentality is the normal state of most people. People who can change themselves are making progress and want to be better people. Maybe this is what we have learned, but after learning that this is normal, how should we plan to land instead of dreaming?
I read an article in Zhihu that self-discipline has three core issues.
Q 1: What influenced your behavior?
Q2: What behavior is in the long-term interest?
Question 3: How does the result of q1help guide the behavior of Q2?
For example, only the concept of long-term interests can affect your behavior in our minds. When you don't have the concept of long-term interests, your behavior is unconstrained. Long-term interests are more and more clear in your mind, and people's behavior can turn to self-discipline.
First of all, we need to set a long-term interest goal.
When considering an important question, what influenced your behavior?
Principle: Through a simple model
Input-model-output = information-brain-behavior.
Through the above model, it can be concluded that controlling the input of information and adjusting the state of the brain are two key points in cultivating self-discipline behavior.
If you keep giving your brain messy information and asking it to work efficiently, your brain will definitely not do as you wish. Similarly, if your brain is already very tired and you still want it to work efficiently, it will definitely not have a good result.
What kind of ideas and behaviors people are exposed to will have a long-term impact subconsciously, so we need to be exposed to positive information if we want to be self-disciplined.
The key point of self-discipline:
Input of control information
Regulate the state of the brain
What's the news Shannon believes that information is something to reduce random uncertainty.
Now that we have entered the era of information explosion, how to filter information from too much surplus information?
Here I see that the author of Zhihu introduced two reference standards:
First, the amount of information refers to how many random and uncertain values can be removed from information, which is called the amount of information. There is a lot of information that will mislead you. This information should be as stable as possible in terms of principles, scientific theorems and famous works. You should take more.
Second, the value of half-life information will decrease over time, and which information with long half-life is worth spending more time on research and reflection. For example, Tik Tok's entertainment information, entertainment news and comments have a short half-life.
Through the above two parameters, we need to filter out most invalid information.
People's energy is limited. Any information intake will more or less occupy brain resources and affect behavior habits, so it is necessary to reduce the intake of invalid information to some extent.
Application:
1. The first thing after getting up should not be to brush the machine, watch Weibo and Tik Tok. But to clean up and verify their long-term interests as soon as possible.
Don't let yourself receive external information before completing the main task.
Don't touch public information before going to bed, it will make it difficult for you to fall asleep.
4. Don't look at anything irrelevant to the project after it starts.
Brain working mode: rational and irrational
The key point that self-discipline cannot be adhered to is that plans are generally customized in a rational state, while in an irrational state, rational plans are not implemented.
Rational state: In a rational state, people are calm and have no inclination. At this time, human thinking mainly exists in the gray cortex of the brain.
Irrational state: people's emotions fluctuate, and people's inner pursuit of excitement, comfort and pleasure. At this time, people's thoughts are concentrated in the basal nucleus. Irrationality is mainly driven by inertia and instinct.
Rational state:
Rational state needs to be controllable and improve efficiency.
Repetition rate: things with high repetition rate are worth polishing.
Mobility: highly mobile transactions are of high value.
Compression: try to compress knowledge into graphics, words, icons and other forms to facilitate memory and output.
Time: Time should be used on the blade. Only by doing what you can't do can you improve your own things.
Review: Learning is sowing, and review is harvesting.
Irrational state:
Most people think through the gray cortex of the brain, which is located at the outermost layer of the brain. The recent thinking is in this position, and it is also in this position when thinking and communicating. The basal nucleus is located in the middle of the skull and is the size of a golf ball. It is responsible for people's habit patterns. When people are used to the scene, the gray cortex of the knife no longer bothers them and is responsible for more complicated tasks.
Irrational state is the product of human accumulation in a long history, which can ensure human survival. Accumulated in the current social environment.
The previous irrational state of avoiding danger, conserving physical strength and making decisions instantly can no longer be a bad habit in the current social environment. In the current social environment, it has evolved into such emotions as procrastination and laziness.
Under what circumstances will it be called irrational state?
1. Tired
lure
3. Lack of vitality
4. No sense of crisis
5. Negative emotional triggers.
Behavior shapes the brain
Readers may say, we have heard a lot of self-discipline, why can't I be self-disciplined? The answer is that behavior shapes the brain.
Your behavior does not deceive you. Your behavior is loyal to your brain. Without knowledge links in your brain, self-discipline will not be realized.
We often regard knowledge description as knowledge, but in fact, the knowledge link in the brain is the real knowledge. For example, recipes are descriptions of knowledge, while memorizing recipes is descriptions of knowledge. Only by making a good dish through knowledge description can the brain link knowledge and become real knowledge.
The reason why you can't discipline yourself is because you have no brain connection, so you can't really discipline yourself. Everyone often lets his brain do tasks that he can't do, and misuse of the brain is the root of self-discipline failure.
Only behavior can turn the description of knowledge into knowledge. The brain is the structure of practical knowledge. We want the brain to guide behavior, but the brain needs to learn through behavior, which is the reason for procrastination. So the question is, is the brain ahead of behavior or behavior ahead of the brain?
The original author pointed out that there are three steps:
A. The brain needs knowledge description to guide behavior.
B. Behavior makes the brain link and turn it into knowledge.
C. the brain spontaneously produces behavior.
A. The brain takes risks without any return or feedback, which requires the participation of willpower.
B. Behavior makes the brain turn knowledge description into knowledge, and the behavior of repeated operation becomes the basis of habit.
C. After the behavior happens, the brain can foresee the results and feedback, so it will associate the travel habits with the travel brain.
So to sum up: the thinking process of self-discipline should be that I have no behavioral links, so I want to establish behavioral links to get used to it and achieve self-discipline.
For example, I didn't go to bed on time, which proves that there is no link in my brain to go to bed on time. I need to establish a link in my brain by going to bed on time. After action, we need to pay attention to the benefits of habits and consciously label the results positively.
