Speaking of luck, what do you think of? Is it a good luck falling from the sky or a joy lost? Is it a healthy body or a smooth mood? It seems that no matter which one you have, it is a kind of luck.
For us, luck is always a pursuit. Just like we wish others good luck. If someone tells you, the secret to luck is to live every day well. Do you think this lucky magic weapon is too simple?
"Living every day is luck." This sentence comes from the book "Simple, Successful, Beautiful: 50 Habits of Zen for a Lucky Lifetime" by 号 Toshiaki .
Toshiaki Nao is a Japanese landscape designer . He was born in a family of Zen monks. He inherited his father's business and became a Zen master. He studied Zen culture and applied it to creative activities in landscape design work. He is also a culture of practicing Zen every day in life. He gets up at 4 a.m. every day, sits in meditation, recites scriptures, and sweeps. After 8 o'clock, the design work will begin. He started meditating at 7 pm and went to bed at 11 pm. This is his daily life.
In the book "Simple, Rich, and Beautiful", he also spent a lot of time talking about getting up early. Shino Toshiaki believes that it is very important to develop good habits that benefit lifelong in the morning.
If luck means living every day well, then getting up early is the start button to live every day well. As the saying goes, the plan for a day lies in the morning, and self-discipline experts also start a positive day by getting up early.
For me, going to bed early and getting up early is a FLAG that keeps standing and falling. It is like the great cause of weight loss, and what it needs more is to find the pleasure of doing this. When I was reading this book, I was also on the way to get up early, so it resonated very much. After reading
, I combined my actual situation and sorted out the good morning habits that appeared in the book, and gave myself a clearer list of early getting up, and shared with everyone.
creates a morning process that is exclusive to you
. The moment you wake up, confirm with yourself: Are you awake?
In the time of sleeping and waking up, it is the real self. Most of the time, we all rush or unconsciously enter the awake real world from sleep. If you can sense this moment, confirm with yourself: "Have you woke up?" It is not only gratitude for waking up, but also awakening to your true self.
. Create a sense of ritual to get up: sit up from the bed and shout to yourself
Why do you always feel that you can't wake up and just want to stay in bed and can't get up? It’s better to learn from the author to make your wake up full of ritual. When the time comes to wake up, sit up from the bed and give yourself a lively greeting to wake yourself up. As long as you develop a habit, it will make the procrastination of getting up straightforward and quicker, making it no longer so difficult to get up.
. Open the window and bathe in the sun
Open the window and let the air circulate. It is just a small action, but it will adjust our physical and mental state. Starting from breathing the fresh air in the morning, the day is full of vitality. Integrate this little habit into the early process and fix it.
. Based on the actual situation, choose some morning activities for yourself
① Exercise your body. You can do some aerobics or exercise to make the body that has been sleeping for a night, move and increase energy.
② Walking, listening to the sound of nature through morning walks, feeling the breeze and morning light, is a great way.
③ Clean or organize, clean and clean a small place, such as the entrance hall, and keep the space clean.
④Writing in peace, such as copying scriptures, or writing a morning diary.
⑤ Make tea or other options according to your preferences.
. Make breakfast carefully and focus on breakfast
It is also a very happy way to get yourself up early and have a good breakfast.You can prepare relevant ingredients the night before to shorten the production time in the morning so that it can be more continuous. You can also add daily gratitude lessons when having breakfast.
6. "The inspection of majestic etiquette" and introspection in the mirror
Before leaving, let yourself dress neatly and go out in a full state, and develop the habit of confirming the instrument. This is a confirmation of appearance, dress and expressions, and also confirmation of one's inner self. That is, when looking in the mirror, turn on the Jobs mode of asking and answering, and reflect on yourself. This method comes from Jobs' speech at the Stanford University's graduation ceremony.
Every day facing yourself in the mirror, ask: If today is your last day, would you still be willing to do what you want to do today? confirms your heart in this way. Is your current lifestyle what you want? If not, it means it's time to change. From the outside to the inside, the moment we look in the mirror before going out, we can develop habits and confirm them one by one. The six processes above
are refined by organizing the habits mentioned in the book. From the moment you wake up to the time before you go out, it is the time that belongs to you. The author said that getting up thirty minutes earlier than before every day can make everything orderly. I want to say that starting from thirty minutes early, you will enjoy this period of morning more and more. Slowly, not only does it take less time to get up early, but you will also get up earlier and earlier.
How to easily go to bed early
When it comes to getting up early, one of the topics that has to be mentioned is going to bed early. For those who stay up late, they must get up in the morning, and the alarm clock rings and force themselves to get up. But if you want to go to bed early, the phone you can't put down, the thoughts you can't stop, the eyes that you close but are still watching movies in your brain, are all stopping you from going to bed at the right time. What to do?
In "Simple, Rich and Beautiful", the author also gave some tips.
For example, leave some time for yourself before going to bed, store your phone, and use this time to face yourself. can look back on this day and sort out and reverse the emotions remaining in your heart. From the obsession with why to "What has this thing taught me" can make you let go easily. I think this can also be done by writing a diary of awareness.
For example, give yourself 30 minutes before going to bed to meditate, meditate or daze. In the author's words, this is meditation. We can choose the right way for us. For me, the last action to enter sleep is to turn on the meditation audio and fall asleep naturally as we listen. Find routines before bedtime. When this matter starts, the brain naturally enters sleep mode, which can effectively help us get up early.
Tips for developing the habit of getting up early
Finally, there are three points to pay attention to when developing the habit of getting up early.
First, prepare for the next day before going to bed, and plan what to do after getting up early the next day.
For example, what do you want to do in the above six major processes? Only by clarifying your morning activities can you be motivated to truly get up. Knowing that there is something you want to do is waiting for you, you won’t be stuck in bed and make all kinds of excuses. After getting up, you won’t be confused because you don’t know what to do, and finally waste your precious time in the morning.
Second, remember to keep your rest days on the road to developing habits.
Many times, we will give ourselves various excuses, especially on holidays, we will naturally want to sleep until we wake up naturally to make up for our fatigue from getting up early in the past week. In fact, when your early waking up is a happy thing, you will no longer need to compensate yourself. You should know that the habit of getting up early is not just the action of getting up early, but is composed of a series of activities after getting up. So create a morning routine that is exclusive to you, and keep it on even on holidays.
Third, just like many habit development advocates, we can start with persisting for 100 days.
See the number of days of getting up early, feel the easier it is to get up early, and experience the infinite satisfaction brought to you by morning activities. I believe that after 100 days, getting up early has become your habit. Getting up early will make the new day wonderful, and luck will come quietly.
Yes, luck is good fate, we need to practice ourselves. Living every day well, starting from morning, is to summon lucky arrival bit by bit. Shino Toshiaki said: "Practice immediately is the right way to Zen." Then let's take action immediately.
