Tao Te Ching:

If the prince can keep it, all things will be self-contained. If I want to do it, I will make the town nameless.

This means that if the prince can serve as a political citizen according to the principle of "Tao", all things will be self-fertilized, self-generating and fully developed. When greed arises from self-growth, I use the Tao to suppress it.

As mentioned yesterday, one of the laws of things is: growth (transformation) collection.

Among them, this "transformation" is the process of changing from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Today we will delve into the more profound role of "transformation."

Losing weight can make the body better and the skin better. The best way to lose weight is through a sensible diet and scientific exercise.

But why are there still various diet pills and automatic "weight loss" appliances?

Because, weight loss requires controlling eating and drinking, and insisting on exercise, which will make many people very painful.

Since controlling diet and insisting on exercise is so painful, why do some people continue to do it for ten years?

Is it because of the power of persistence?

No, it's because they're used to it.

Because of habits, these ordinary people seem to need to pay determination and deliberately do things, for people who are used to it, as common as eating and sleeping.

There is no need to make up their minds, no need to deliberately insist, no need to restrain themselves, this has become a part of their unconscious natural life.

From the initial persistence to the final habit, it is actually a process of "internalization".

The essence of "internalization" transforms something learned from the outside into its own instincts.

So, how long does this process of internalization take?

Some say it's 21 days, some say it's 66 days, some say it's 90 days, some say it's 254 days...

In fact, the key is not how many days, but your consciousness and feelings.

Consciousness and feeling are right, and habituation will naturally become very fast.

For example, when a person learns brush writing, when he picks up the brush for the first time, even if the posture of holding the pen is not correct, but he likes this feeling, he feels that the smell of ink is very good. This sense of consciousness will make him consciously learn and practice brush characters, then, in time, he will definitely write a very beautiful brush word.

We usually know that to control our emotions, we cannot be swayed by emotions, but why do we let our emotions sway whenever we encounter things?

For example, to help children write homework, every parent knows that they must not be angry, they must be patient, because it is useless to be angry, but it will cause children to be negative about learning. But every time there is hysterical yelling and yelling at the child, why?

"Just can't control, really can't control" this is what most parents say.

Have you ever wondered why you can't control it when you know that this is not right?

Because at that time, that emotion was felt.

Finding that no, whether you admit it or not, a lot of people act on feelings.

Feeling is a manifestation of instinct.

Therefore, if you want to truly transform yourself, you need to internalize the stress response of behavior into a natural feeling, and its external manifestation is habit, and even become an interest and a specialty.

Internalize your behavior into feelings, and you will naturally exercise every day, write with a brush, and patiently tutor your child with homework.

The reason is simple, but why are so few people able to do it?

For man has seven passions and six desires.

When you want to do things in a reasonable way, your seven passions and six desires will drive your emotions, as long as your heart moves, your blood pressure, heartbeat, hormone secretion will have an effect, and when you want to control your emotions, you can't control it. No amount of persistence you had before collapsed in the instant of your heart's desire.

Therefore, the key to "internalization" is to weaken one's seven passions and six desires, and this time it is the lowest logic.

How?

At the beginning of the article, the Tao Te Ching already said: If you want to do it, I will take the town as a nameless simplicity.

When greed arises from self-growth, I use the Tao to suppress it.

What is the Tao?

You know that you have been following the rules for a long time and constantly cultivating the sense of consciousness.

Some people will ask: The seven emotions and six desires can drive emotions, and controlling emotions is to internalize into feelings, but you say that you want to use conscious feelings to control the seven emotions and six desires?

In fact, the negative factors brought about by the seven passions and six desires are mainly to make people paranoid and attached. absurd.

As long as people are constantly practicing, practicing, and cultivating their minds, they can make themselves well aware of their selfishness, obsession, and false hearts.

Being aware of this will make you consciously and continuously weaken your own paranoia and attachment. absurd.

This is a multi-cycle, mutually restrictive and promoting relationship.

Reading this article, everyone's perception will be different, the point of inspiration will be different, as long as it is through thinking and practicing, everyone will reach the same end point and achieve a better and more comfortable life.

Hope this article helps you.
