Hello everyone, I am Andy.
I participated in an offline event on the weekend, and everyone talked about some good habits they insisted on. I found that behind excellent people, they have put in more effort and persistence than ordinary people. The development of a habit is not something that can happen overnight.
Today I want to share with you a piece of information. is also some of the good habits I have adhered to for a long time .
It can be said that these inconspicuous habits have changed my previous undisciplined life. It makes me full of expectations for life every day, become more and more self-disciplined, and gradually make Andy today.
I hope this article can help you who want to change.
1. Persist in exercise.
I rank exercise and fitness first, and having a healthy body is more important than anything else. People who lack exercise for a long time may not feel the changes brought by exercise, nor can they enjoy the joy of exercise.
Many people don’t like exercise and fitness, most of them fish for three days and two days to dry the Internet. Because exercise brings discomfort to myself and not watching mobile phones, it is easy and pleasant to watch TV shows.
I used to be a person who didn’t like exercise. After developing the habit of exercise, I saw my own changes. I feel better and my figure is slimmer...
Another important point is that after persisting in exercise for a long time, I feel that I am getting younger and younger.
There are so many benefits of exercise, I won’t say much, I believe everyone understands it.
Before the epidemic, I will go to the gym regularly. The reason for the epidemic in the past two years is that you can only exercise at home.
I usually exercise indoors. There are many fitness videos on Keep, and you can choose fitness programs according to your needs. It is much more convenient and quicker to install some simple and commonly used fitness equipment at home than to go to the gym.
Make a minimum exercise plan for yourself, such as starting with a set of push-ups and planks. Gradually, you will develop good habits of exercise every day.
2. Make a daily list.
Have you ever had such an experience? I am very busy every day, but at the end of the day I have not done anything well and the important things have not been completed. There are many unexpected things, and many things that are not related to the goal.
For a while, I was very anxious and wanted to improve my work and study efficiency, and to effectively complete the work of the day every day. I took the time to list all my problems and found solutions to my anxiety.
I started making a daily action list. I will write down the three most important things to accomplish the next day the night. When facing sudden events, if they can be solved within 2 minutes, they will be solved immediately and will never delay.
I am used to using " tick list ", this app is very practical. I check the things I have done every day and feel very fulfilled.
Now, there will be basically no confusion or failure in completing work and study every day. All of this is attributed to "Daily List" , allowing me to arrange daily matters in an orderly manner.
3. Do not eat high-calorie and high-fat foods.
Many friends are very busy with work and often work overtime, especially single friends, who in most cases order takeout. Eating fast food for a long time, especially high-calorie and high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fried chicken, etc., will not only be unhealthy, but also cause weight gain.
Of course, few people can reject the temptation of delicious food.
Although I have become accustomed to not eating takeout and reducing my intake of high-fat and high-calorie foods. Occasionally, I will eat some in moderation when I am greedy, but I will not indulge myself in eating and drinking. Eat some in moderation and you will be exhausted the next day. Especially for women, if they want to maintain their figure, they can only control their mouths.
I cook myself now and I make a soup when I don’t have much time, which is very convenient. Buy some ingredients in advance and put them in the refrigerator for later use. You don’t have to queue up to buy groceries every day, which can save you a lot of time.
Give you a small suggestion:
If you want to eat high-calorie and high-fat foods, you can weigh your weight first. Think about it, if your weight has not reached your ideal controllable range, your weight will continue to soar after eating these foods.
When you think so, the desire to eat fried chicken burger will not be strong. However, when you want to eat, you don’t have to make things difficult for yourself. Just exercise well after eating.
4. Persist in reading every day.
People who have been studying for a long time have a temperament that cannot be imitated. I have been studying every day for many years and have made a reading plan for myself every year, with at least 52 books. I always feel that a person’s growth cannot be separated from reading.
After entering society, I often hear people say that reading more books is useless. I think some people may have some misunderstandings about reading. Studying cannot make a person become a rich person immediately. However, persisting in reading for a long time can change a person's cognition and thinking, broaden his horizons, and learn to think deeply...
The faster you read, the better, nor the more you read, the better. Reading a good book requires in-depth thinking, understanding and absorption. Some books need to be read intensively, and they need to be read over and over again to understand the essence.
Two recommended reading methods:
(1) It is important to choose which book to read.
Just started to develop reading habits, you can start with books you are interested in and like. It is also OK to read classics in detail. Before reading, first determine whether the book you read is suitable for you. Because time is limited, we must learn to distinguish good books and books worth investing in time to read.
Many verified books, such as " Hundred Years of Solitude ", "Jane Eyre", " Anna Karenina " , etc., all with high scores. Some books have very ordinary content, so it is recommended to give up directly.
(2) Take good reading notes.
It is impossible for us to remember all of a book, so we must take good reading notes for easy review. There are many ways to take notes on the book. You can take notes directly on the book or prepare your own notebook.
Share how I usually take reading notes.
a. Excerpts from the book, classic quotes, etc.
b. Sometimes I take notes with a framework of asking questions + solving problems and write down my own insights.
c. Regarding the points and topics I am interested in in the book, I will think about what I should do if I do.
d. Sometimes, I don’t excerpt the author’s original words, but write down my thoughts at that time.
5. Go to bed early and get up early
The biggest difference between ordinary people and excellent people is that when you are still dreaming in bed, those excellent people have already gotten up early and started reading and fitness.
"The measure of the day is in the morning". When you wake up early, you will reduce anxiety by 80%.
Many people are night owls, playing mobile phones, playing games, and spending nightlife at night, which leads to getting up at the next day at the junction of time. Every day starts in a hurry, with low work efficiency and poor mental state, which will form a vicious cycle.
It is not easy to go to bed early and get up early. If you don’t have a goal, you will not have the motivation to get up early.
If you want to stay in your comfort zone and enjoy comfort all the time, it means that you have given up the opportunity to grow and it is easy to become a person without a goal in life.
You can think of this. When you wake up early, you earn not only time, but also the opportunity to improve your abilities.
wake up 1 hour early every day, 7 hours a week, 30 hours a month, and 360 hours a year. Make good use of this time to do a lot of meaningful things.
For example: you can exercise for 1 hour a day, listen to 1 book every day, write 500 words of articles every day, etc. Give it certain meaning to get up early. After a month, half a year or a year, you will definitely see your own growth and progress.
Early going to bed is the basis for getting up early. If you want to get up early, you must develop the habit of going to bed early. If you go to bed at 2 o'clock every night and get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, it will definitely be difficult. Insufficient sleep time will affect the efficiency of the next day.
Make plans to go to bed early and get up early according to your own situation. For example, I set an alarm clock on my phone and reminded myself to rest at 10:50 pm.
and above share some of the good habits I insist on. I hope you can also cultivate good habits that belong to you.
The development of a habit requires time to accumulate and cannot be developed in one or two days. Don’t set a long-term goal for yourself from the beginning, as it is easy to give up halfway. Starting with the smallest amount, it's easy to stick to it.
After reading it, click for Andy to click "Watch" , I wish you to develop good habits as soon as possible and live a self-disciplined life.
