You can't stick, but you won't stick to it.

The good vocabulary of persistence and perseverance is often associated with vocabulary such as success and greatness. Therefore, from the perspective of superficial probability, successful people are rare. It is conceivable that persistence is not an easy task. It's hard. So how do we cultivate "persistence"? If you can't keep going, do you really want to deny that you have no willpower?

First, insist on = willpower?

How many plans have you made in your life, do you plan to read 100 books this year and be a "reading adult"? Plan to lose weight and become the devil's body that everyone envy? Plan to start 100 days in a row and run 10 kilometers? I plan to start the word early every day, and finish the GRE vocabulary book in one month?

The plan is always perfect, but the reality is so skinny.

When you are not finished, will you find various reasons to defend yourself, or admit that you really do not have willpower again and again, or be an ordinary person, insisting on the "great man" thing.

In fact, the fact is not what you think, insisting on willpower and persisting in cultivation.

Research by a foreign institution has found that the energy that can be used for self-control in human energy accounts for 5% of total energy, so your self-control energy is so little and limited. If you use your strong will to control yourself, plan Painting, one item is so precise, then you will consume a lot of energy to complete the project. And with your total energy limited, your control of self-control is only 5%. In this case, the time of self-control "persistence" can be imagined, and the duration will not be long.

So, control yourself to stick to it and the results will not persist.

How do you persist without controlling yourself? Answer: Let persistence become a habit.

Second, do not insist on persistence, but to make persistence a habit.

In a new book about the habit, "Perseverance, a habit that can be cultivated,"

The authors mention the reasons why the cultivation habits produce three minutes of heat:

First, the body will resist new changes; second, the brain likes to maintain the status quo.

The book says that behavioral habits can be developed in 30 days. However, I agree with Warfalcon's point of view. The formation of behavioral habits takes 30 days, the formation of physical habits takes about three months, and the development of thinking habits takes about six months. In other words, it takes about 100 days to develop and cure. You will experience more kinds of unexpected situations. If you can still hold on, you will form a habit pattern, which is flexible and stronger. Vitality.

The benefits of forming habits, needless to say, to do something at a certain point, your body, brain has adapted to this rhythm, do not need to spend a lot of energy to complete, so forming habits is the best way to save energy. Almost all or 95% of all your actions are habitually determined during the day.

Third, how to form a habit?

In the book Persistence, a habit that can be cultivated, the three stages of training habits are mentioned:

1. Rebellion period.

Can pass, one goal at a time, simple and effective rules, do not care too much about the results to improve the success rate.

2. Unstable period.

You can pass this mode by patterning, setting exception rules, and setting three measures for continuous switching.

The types of continuous switches include: "Candy Switch" and "Punch Switch".

6 kinds of "candy-type switches": rewards, praises, games, ideal patterns, rituals, removal of obstacles.

6 "penalty switch": profit and loss calculation, make friends, announce to the public, punish the game, set goals, force.

3. Burnout period.

After the freshness, I feel bored and bored, and I can’t find the meaning of persistence. At this time, it is necessary to increase the difficulty of the challenge, get rid of the comfort zone, increase the sense of freshness, change the environment, find more people as an example, and continue to complete the challenge together.

On the way to develop habits, four points are summarized through continuous learning and self-practice.

1. Strong desire + positive thinking, find the source of power from your own heart.

"The heart does not call things, things are not", the strong desire is the source of power, but also the premise that you are willing to spend a lot of energy before forming habits.

Mr. Inamori Kazuo once put forward the "life or work results = thinking mode X passion X ability", while the way of thinking has positive and negative points, positive thinking mode produces positive life results. Specifically, you can record your "small fortune" and write a grateful diary every day to cultivate and develop a positive way of thinking.

2. Establish a ceremony to start your energy.

Ceremonies are important, clarify your own core values, and establish a viable and flexible way of acting. Add your physical, mental, intellectual, and emotional energy to increase your total energy.

3, continuous output, get timely feedback effects and rewards, form a positive energy cycle, the customary "snowball" roll.

The behavioral management scientist conducted a survey that asked the investigator to answer the following two questions:

Question 1: I will give you 50,000 yuan today and 51,000 yuan tomorrow. Which one would you choose?

Question 2: Give you 50,000 yuan after 1 year, and give you 51,000 yuan after 1 year and one day. Which one would you choose?

As a result, for question one, most people will choose “to get 50,000 yuan today”, and for question two, more people will choose “to get 51,000 yuan after one year and one day”.

In the face of next year's events, most people can think rationally, but in the face of what is happening, human beings will lose their rationality. In the process of cultivating habits, sometimes it is necessary to lose reason, exert the power of emotion, and use the method of instant feedback.

The good results of instant feedback will give people a great sense of satisfaction and happiness. If any habit is not good for you, it will not last forever. Only in the process of constantly developing habits, it is constantly announced and output. Leave the traces of giving, get everyone's encouragement and recognition, or set rewards for yourself, so that you can constantly replenish energy, stimulate positive emotions, and continue to persist from small achievements to big achievements.

4. Build your support system and build your habits to develop a board of directors.

On the road of persistence, find people who are going forward together, encourage each other, and advance. People will be lazy, need the encouragement of their peers, the stimulation of competitors, can express your potential and complete a qualitative leap.

When you form a habit, persistence will not become so boring, persistence will not cost you too much energy, it is a part of your life, it is the sunshine and dew in your life. It is the most important and strongest element of your journey to success.
