What is the current psychological state of modern young people? Most likely will answer the two words " anxiety ", especially after spending some time at home with the epidemic at the beginning of this year, the answer may become "more anxious".
So, why should young people who should be vigorous and positive feel anxious? I think there may be several reasons:
- is dissatisfied with his current status quo, and thinks he is unable to change;
- desperately wants to change the status quo, but encountered numerous obstacles in the process;
- has no goal and direction, and it has been all day Do nothing;
- has clear dreams and goals, but I don't know how to achieve it.
And the book "Infinite Possibilities·Quickly Awaken Your Learning Brain" I read recently, puts forward the view that "the human brain can break through any limit, and the learning ability is our superpower". I think that if we can have this "superpower", we can definitely overcome our inner anxiety. The book
tells us from the three major aspects of thinking mode, inner motivation and method: your brain has unlimited possibilities.
- thinking mode: thinking mode is the sum of our beliefs, assumptions and attitudes about ourselves and the world around us. It is a prerequisite, which determines the mental attitude or tendency of a person to react and understand different situations.
- Intrinsic Motivation: The intrinsic motivation of is not a fixed asset you own, but it depends on action to fight for. There is a formula, inner motivation = purpose × experience × S3 (three simple steps). When the three are combined, you will get constant motivation. The final form of motivation is the state of flow.
- method: method is a program or process to accomplish something. Within the scope of this book, the method is the process of learning how to learn, also known as meta-learning.
As long as you have the correct thinking mode, sufficient internal motivation, plus effective methods, I think your "superpower" will be developed.
In my opinion, if you have these three points, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, have efficient learning ability, and easily overcome inner anxiety.
01 Believe that you can do everything well. The book
says: As long as you are determined to learn, you can learn anything, and you can master almost any skill.
The author of this book, Jim Quick, fell from a chair due to a classmate’s mischief when he was a child, and suffered severe injuries that caused brain damage. After that, he had difficulty concentrating while studying, and his memory was extremely poor. As "a child with a broken brain". Therefore, in school, he was often bullied and teased, and he became shy and inferior, planning to drop out.
By chance, Quik was encouraged by his friend’s father. After reading a stack of books, he found the key way to learn how to learn. Since then, learning has become simple for him. Concentration has also returned to normal. Not only can he finish reading a book a week, he later established an organization dedicated to helping others learn based on his own experience, and wrote the book "Quickly wake up your learning brain". .
I remember once heard a sentence "Anything will become simple as long as it is willing." Quick, whose "brain is broken", can recover his "superpowers" through hard work, why can't we?
Therefore, must believe that you can do anything well. Only by believing in this premise can you really have the opportunity to do well .
02 Strengthen the belief that you want to learn. The book
says: Good reasons yield good results.
Let me give an example that seems to have nothing to do with learning. Let me just talk about it. Because I had a baby before and a lot of nutrition, my weight has increased by 30 kg. None of the original beautiful clothes can be worn in. No matter how I dress up, I feel "horrible" when I look at my figure in the mirror, and I am deeply shocked by this.
simultaneously, A strong belief told me: I must lose weight, I want to lose weight, my goal is simple, is to wear good-looking clothes again.
So, I learn to strengthen my exercise, take time to exercise, learn to swim, control my diet, and maintain a good quality of sleep. Although I am tired and hungry sometimes, every time I think about how I look when I wear beautiful clothes, it makes me full of motivation. After persisting in this way for less than a year, I finally lost weight, and my skin became better than before, and my temperament was better than before. In short, an unexpected result was obtained.
Therefore, has to have goals in everything you do. Once you have goals, you will be clear about the way forward and you can avoid many detours.
03 Try to learn how to learn. The book
says: The only way to win is to be one step ahead of others in learning.
Every one of us may encounter a kind of person in our school days: they either play or sleep in class, as if they have never listened to a lesson taught by a teacher or done a homework. However, they are always among the best when the test results are published.
You would doubt: Did he cheat during the exam, or did the teacher make a mistake in judging the paper? He is so smart, is he a genius? However, you never think that he has a set of efficient learning methods that can help him learn like a duck and be one step faster.
To give another example, did you do math problems in school? For the same question, if you use different algorithms, is it faster or slower to complete the calculation? That's right, doing arithmetic problems fast is like the above-mentioned types with efficient learning methods; doing arithmetic problems slow is like you who admired others as a genius.
So, don't worry about why you seem to work harder than others, but still no one else succeeds. It's better to think carefully about which way to succeed is the best solution.
In summary, although anxiety is more common in modern society, it is not terrible. Once you have the super ability to learn, you will not only have the confidence to change the status quo, overcome the difficulties on the road, and have clear goals. Find an effective method and keep running towards success. Z18z
