First of all, I want to ask everyone, do you know yourself? Recently, I read a book and found that I did not know myself well. I followed the method mentioned in this book to re-examine myself, know myself, and achieve good results.
I have started to share with you the book "Cognitive Awakening" since this week. The specific arrangement is as follows:
Day 1: "Cognitive Awakening - Knowing Yourself to Get Rid of Anxiety"
Day 2: "Cognitive Awakening - Ultimate Ability Under the Subconscious"
Day 3: "Cognitive Awakening - Focus on Creating Learning Power"
Day 4: "Cognitive Awakening - Without Action, Everything Can't Begin"
Day 5: "Cognitive Awakening - Emotional Management Creates a Five-Piece Set of Life"
Hope that the five-day sharing will allow us to re-know ourselves and embark on the road to achievement.
Today I will first share "Cognitive Awakening - Knowing Yourself and Getting Away from Anxiety", including: 1. Recognizing yourself again; 2. Getting Away from Anxiety; 3. Those who have patience will win the world.
1. Re-know yourself
Let’s share the first part first and re-know yourself.
Many people don’t really understand themselves, or even never understand them, so they are confused about their own various problems. Here I mean "self", specifically referring to the part of our brain, because without a brain, we are nothing; if we have a brain, but without understanding it, we can only live with a vague feeling, and that kind of life is usually not what we want. Starting from the brain, re-recognize yourself, we will "evolve" again.
Humans have triple brains. In order for everyone to clearly understand what triple brains are, I will post a picture.
This is unique to humans. We see that it is extremely precise and perfect. However, the facts prove that it is not perfect, and even has many problems. These problems are the root cause of our incompetence and pain. To understand this, we need to first understand the evolution of the brain.
1. The structure of the instinctive brain is very simple, with only one primitive reflection module originating from reptile that quickly responds to the environment, such as fighting or fleeing when encountering danger, prey when encountering prey, and pursuing when encountering the opposite sex you like. Reptiles have no emotions, no reason, and survive by their physical instincts.
2. Emotional brain is a mammal in its evolution process. In order to better adapt to the environment, it not only keeps the body temperature constant, but also evolves emotions. This is also why we like to treat cats or dogs as pets, because these animals can easily communicate emotionally with us and know how to please and take care of us. Correspondingly, a unique emotional area has also developed in the brain of mammals, which is what we call "emotional brain trouble".
3, During the evolution of , humans stood out from mammals and evolved "neocort" in the forehead region of the brain. This allows us to produce language, create art, develop science and technology, and build civilization, and from then on we have an absolute survival advantage on this planet. Human beings are addicted to their own unique reason, so they call this new brain area "reasonal brain".
has a clear understanding of your three brains and probably has a preliminary understanding. Your emotions, behaviors, and even worries are inseparable from the behaviors of these three brains.
Although the rational brain is advanced, its power is too weak compared to the instinctual brain and emotional brain.
The rational brain has weak control over the brain, so most of the decisions we make in life often come from instincts and emotions, not rationality. Of course, no matter what factors affect our decisions, the original intention is to make us good, but the decisions of the instinctive and emotional brains are often out of touch with modern society because they think they are still in a primitive society.
When you see this, can you think of the confusion and troubles we have had reasonable explanations?
Most of the decisions we make in life often come from instinct and emotions, rather than rationality, short-sighted and instantly satisfied. Refusal is easy and eager to achieve success. I know, but I just can't do it; I really want it, but I just can't get it.Most of the time we think that we are thinking, but in fact we are rationalizing our own behaviors and desires.
So, growth is the process of overcoming nature, and the instinctual brain and emotional brain are our nature.
The rational brain does not work directly. Working is a matter of the instinctual brain and emotional brain, because they have great "strength"; God gives the rational brain wisdom to let it drive instincts and emotions, rather than directly replacing them.
Do you know what your brain looks like? Now that you understand your brain, you can solve the root of anxiety step by step.
2. Get rid of anxiety
Let’s look at the second part to get rid of anxiety.
Anxiety must be your old friend. It always accompanies you like background music. Although we are very familiar with it, we never know who it is.
There are many forms of anxiety, and I don’t know which type of anxiety you are:
1. Complete anxiety: Always arrange your schedule too much and live in front of the deadline every day.
2. Positioning anxiety: If you look directly at what people in this field can do now at the zero-basis stage, it is impossible not to be anxious.
3. Choice Anxiety: Sometimes too many choices can make people fall into anxiety.
4. Environmental anxiety: Sometimes we have to face some restrictions of the external environment, such as the influence of family and work.
5. Difficulty anxiety: Some books are difficult to read, some articles are difficult to write, some knowledge is difficult to understand, and some skills are difficult to learn.
, there are two reasons for anxiety: I want to do many things at the same time, and I want to see the effect immediately.
We already know that human beings are natural attributes of refuge and rush to achieve success. In other words, such seeds have long been planted deep in our hearts: they are eager to achieve success and want to do many things at the same time; they are easy to achieve success and do not try much, and they will immediately see the results.
This is the real root of anxiety! Anxiety is nature and is the default setting for humans.
If you want to overcome it, it is very simple to do the opposite.
·Restrain desires and don’t let yourself do many things at the same time;
face reality and see your true ability level;
prioritize things and find ways to do only the most important things;
accept the environment and do what you can in your limitations;
face the core and force yourself to break through it with one stone.
seems nonsense, the key is how to truly improve your abilities and maintain patience.
improves capabilities involves all aspects. Maybe you can't do more and better at once, but we can do it "stay patient" and break through the root of the problem from then on.
3. Those who have patience will win the world
Let’s look at the third part: Patience will win the world.
Patience can be said to be one of the most precious qualities of human beings. It directly points to our nature of eagerness to achieve success and seeking refuge. It can be said that those who have patience will win the world, so we might as well start with the keyword patience.
Many things we have done before are mistakenly thought that they are patience.
spend a lot of time looking for articles with real information and click to collect them, but may never click again in the future; sometimes they are also surprisingly "diligent", crazyly increasing their reading volume, practicing the ",000-hour law ", insisting on doing the same thing every day, but never having the chance to succeed; when you see that there is a big gap between yourself and your peers, you will become very anxious, and then you will enroll in many classes, read a lot of books, do a lot of things, and expect to see changes immediately.
All of this is the lack of patience, and no matter how much effort you work, it will be in vain.
The elites in society are usually those who can better overcome their nature, with higher levels of patience and stronger ability to delay gratification.
I will show you the picture to understand the patient multiplier and compound interest curve.
If a person who understands the rules of compound interest, he can see the meaning of this picture at a glance.
's growth in the early stage is very slow, but it will grow rapidly after reaching a turning point.This "Eighth Miracle in the World" reveals this power, but to obtain this power, we need to calmly face the slow growth in the early stage and persevere to the turning point.
If you like to trade stocks, do you stick to this rule? Buffett has always adhered to this compound interest artifact, which has made his wealth kingdom. After saying something off topic, we brought our thoughts back.
Faced with nature, let go of your psychological burden, and accept yourself calmly. In the face of temptation, learn to delay gratification and turn confrontation into communication. Faced with difficulties, take the initiative to change your perspective and give meaning to your actions. Once you learn these, you will have patience.

Tomorrow I will continue to share with you "Cognitive Awakening - The Ultimate Ability Under the Subconscious" with you. Welcome to watch it then!
