Did the child think about a very careful plan, and the plan is written and it becomes a piece of paper on the wall?
Is it particularly easy to be disturbed? He is doing his homework and the doorbell rings, and he runs the fastest?
is you discouraged and lose any enthusiasm for learning?
Have you seen your classmates be excellent and you are very anxious, but you don’t know how to start?
Today I will introduce you to a book that I have read for two years-------"Cognitive Awakening and Opening the Power of Self-Change"

I have read it for two years because I was confused when I started reading it and didn't understand it.
went around in circles, and a year later, I found this book again, but it was out of control. I read the book for two months and wrote dozens of reading notes.
Author Zhou Ling, because of his learning and practice of cognitive knowledge, has changed from a person who stayed up late at night with his mobile phone to an extremely self-disciplined person. He wrote an official account and published two books, just like the subtitle of the book, "it opened up the driving force for self-change". His family and children have undergone tremendous changes with him. How did he do it? The secrets are hidden in this book.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part is to observe oneself, which develops from three aspects: brain, subconsciousness, and metacognition; the next part is to explain the appearance method from the aspects of concentration, learning ability, movement ability, and emotional ability. Practicing both inside and outside is rare in opening up personal changes. It is especially helpful for adolescent growth and learning difficulties.
When it comes to learning and growth, there is a topic that cannot be avoided:
learning tasks are getting tighter, but I can't let go when I pick up the mobile game; the plan is very compact, but I gradually relaxed; I wake up early and go to bed late every day, sit at the table without moving, but yawn for a while. What determines these phenomena shown by
?
is our brain.
If we want to improve our status quo, we need to understand our brains.
The brain has a long history, and the story is long:
We have three brains, namely the instinctual brain, emotional brain and rational brain.
Instinct brain and emotional brain have existed for hundreds of millions of years. Their strength is as strong as a heavy crane, our protector and guardian of us all the time. The rational brain responsible for thinking has just existed for 2.5 million years. Its ability is like a newborn baby, unable to carry the shoulders or hold the hands.
Instinctual brain and emotional brain existed in ancient times. At that time, our ancestors faced too many threats, such as hunger, natural disasters, and wild beasts attacks, so they had to try their best to protect our ancestors.
Because there is less food, we must save energy and try not to consume energy or consume less energy. Our ancestors must act like lions today, and only move when they must prey on prey. They are lying quietly at other times. As long as you can still live, your body will remain as still as possible. As long as you see food, you will eat it as much as possible.
Because there are threats everywhere, you will be eaten by wild animals if you are not careful. The instinctual brain and emotional brain have also developed a habit of hiding when you see unfamiliar things and running away when you see difficulties.
But the wheel of history is moving too fast. Now we are no longer the environment of primitive people, but the instinctual brain and emotional brain have not reacted, and he is still sticking to his original belief in protection.
Now they regard new knowledge and new environment as dangers to stay away from, treat endless food as scarce resources, and put it in their stomachs when they see it, and after drinking and eating, Ge You lie motionlessly, that is, away from danger and saves energy.
So when we see something delicious, we want to eat it. It’s not our fault, it’s them protecting us. When we see difficulties, we want to escape, and it is also the instinct and emotional brain that protect us.
At that time, the measures to protect us have now become a resistance to our progress. Everything we learn, exercise, and grow requires a triple brain game.
Instinctual brain and emotional brain want us to be safe and comfortable, but rational brain is an ideal person who wants to make a difference.
For example, learning is an energy-consuming matter. It has been a hard work for ten years. The ancients said that otherwise, there would be no need to "hang their heads on the beam and thighs on the cone."Out of protection, the instinctual brain and emotional brain are always alert, for fear of being exhausted, or being exhausted, starving to death. So, it directs us to be lazy as long as we can.
But the rational brain knows that it needs to learn. It is as clear as parents and knows what to do.
But do you still remember how big the power difference is between them?
Faced with learning, the rational brain sent hard work and hard work. After several days of arming, he made up his mind to make a military order. He barely fought for four or five rounds, but he still lost. What to do if
? surrender? Fight again?
is best to lie flat. Since you can't do it, just listen to the instinctual brain and emotional brain. Submit
There is still a way between surrendering and fighting: use
Since the instinctual brain and emotional brain are so strong, why not use it? People can start heavy cranes!
At this time, people are divided into two categories: those who can use the instinctual brain and emotional brain and those who cannot use the instinctual brain and emotional brain. Some people see that others work hard, they don’t care at all, and even say sarcastic words, “So hard work is not much higher than me.” They should play with their mobile phones and sleep.
Some people work hard and try hard to catch up, but they don’t go to bed at twelve o’clock, get up at 4 o’clock in the morning, and sleep for three or four hours a day, which makes people feel distressed to see.
These are typical examples of surrender and struggle.
What will be used for?
should play, sleep, learn... This is the academic master we envy.
They cleverly utilize the powerful power of the instinctual brain and emotional brain.
is like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey who is pulling a mill. We also need to hang a carrot for our instinct and emotional brains, so that they can be obedient.
To cleverly utilize the huge power of the instinctual brain and emotional brain, we must do these three points:
1. First of all, we must paralyze the "enemy"
Kong Rong was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army. Taishi Ci was responsible for leaving the city to bring rescue soldiers. He was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. It would definitely not be possible to break through. So, Taishici swaggered out of the city every day to practice riding and shooting. The Yellow Turban Army was very alert, worried that he would run out to ask for help. After practicing archery like this for half a month, the Yellow Turban Army was paralyzed. Taishici came out again, and the Yellow Turban Army didn't even look at him. When Taishi Ci saw that the time had come, he rode his horse out of the encirclement, brought rescue troops to lift Kong Rong's siege in Beihai.
How to paralyze the instinctual brain and emotional brain when facing learning?
target should be small enough for you, as simple as breathing, without any effort.
For example, for my level of learning, you can set the goal of "get up early and memorize a word", you may have five.
Not only Zhou Ling, the author of "Cognitive Awakening", did this, but also the author of "Micro Habits". He claimed that his life has been successful from nothing to the present, and the starting point is a push-up!
Have you thought about a small target to paralyze the "enemy"? After thinking about it, write it down.
2. Use positive feedback to encourage "enemy"
0 "Cognitive Upgrade" Liu Chuan has a magical experience in practicing piano: it only took him two years from scratch to finishing the tenth level exam! The process of practicing the piano is to practice the etudes, and then play it for others to listen to. Then the difficulty of the song is increased, and the song is practiced and talked to others smoothly. Continuous cycle, constant praise, and always immerse yourself in the fun of playing the piano.
This gives you a positive feedback on piano practice. The instinctual brain and emotional brain think it is not bad, it is interesting, and I want to do it next time.
For playing the piano, singing, and drawing, feedback is easy because the results are easy to display. A painting or a song is a finished product and can receive intuitive feedback.
But it is difficult for learning. When a relative comes to my house, I can’t say, “Look, I’m solving physics problems soon.”
But for study, the exam is undoubtedly the best feedback, and it is a small surprise that the instinctive and rational brain like.
If you don’t believe it, you can take the test yourself.
step by step, starting with one question.
For example, if you treat homework as an exam, and write while timing it, you find that you used it for two hours yesterday and one and a half hours today. How are you feeling at this time?
The author has a colleague whose child is in high school and is a perfect academic master: he has good grades and never attends interest classes. He still has a lot of time to play in his spare time. The author asked him if there was any special method. One of the secrets he said was to treat homework like an exam.
3. Let the "enemy" take the initiative to rest, ensuring that their strength continues to be used by me
Although I have never been a top student, I also have a heart to be a top student.
In order to succeed, I cheer myself up and secretly make up my mind: I must work hard and become the pride of parents and role models for my classmates.
Unfortunately, the hero's opening brought the ending of a hero. After self-abuse, not only did his grades not improve, but his heart was wiped out.
In the end, I had no confidence in myself and thought to myself: "I just did a few questions occasionally, and the toad wanted to eat swan meat. I thought I was a top student? Forget it, I'd better lie down." Why did
so hard but not get any results?
Have you seen the first part of "Racing Story"? McQueen did not enter the station to change tires, which resulted in a blowout at the critical moment of the game and lost the game.
takes the initiative to rest during the learning process, just like regularly entering the station to check, refuel, and change tires during the competition.
2004, 13-year-old talented teenager Carlson and legendary genius Kasparov played a chess game, which was a fast game.
13-year-old Carlson actually left the board during the game and swayed aside. In the end, this game made him the youngest top chess player in history.
So you read that right, it is very important to take the initiative to rest.
When Edison discovered that when he encountered difficulties, he would take a nap, instead of forgetting to eat and sleep, and trying hard to overcome it.
There are many ways to rest when you are stressful in your studies, such as exercise, walking, painting, taking a bath, and listening to music.
We can use "pomodoro" in our daily study!
Sometimes when you learn better, you will be reluctant to put down your writing and feel that you have finally done this question very easily. Even so, I still recommend that you put down what you have and let your original and emotional brain take the initiative to rest for 5 minutes.
allows the emotional brain and the original brain to rest on time so that their huge power will always be maintained and will always make us useful.
There is another piece of advice :
When making a study plan, the action content should be clear
For a long time, I was a person who got up early to check in. I was obsessed with waking up with the skylight. I never pulled the curtains tightly when I sleep at night. If the fish belly appears white in the east, I will be woken up by the light of nature, and I will get up and start my vibrant day.
looks very beautiful, but nothing happened. Why?
What do you do after getting up early? have no idea. It's just a hammer and a bar, and it's a morning.
, and the instinctual brain and emotional brain are most afraid of blur. Therefore, the task of the rational brain is to eliminate blur when making plans.
Get up early to exercise. The plan is as follows: prepare brown sportswear and white running shoes before going to bed, put it on after getting up, tell yourself to go downstairs first, and then tell yourself, "I'm here anyway, run two steps!"
study plan can be: sit at the desk, use the blue morning light neutral pen, write a physics question in three minutes, and memorize a new word in one minute.
How do you eliminate the blur in your plan? Write it down quickly.
is written at the end:
In Zhou Ling's book "Cognitive Awakening", we can deeply understand the working principles of the brain and understand many important learning methods. I have limited abilities, so the introduction is really one-sided.
Recommended for every parent and high school kid, college students, or people who feel that you have been confused and unsolved in the process of growing up and learning, and have been working hard but have no gains or breakthroughs, come and read this book, it is worth reading again and again.
