Written by Kokoro Tachibana
When I was in school, I felt like a year, and now I am working and raising a baby, and I feel like a year.
Life passed like a rocket, and it came to 2024 with a whoosh.
2023 is my first year of reading and writing, and it is also a year for me to improve by leaps and bounds.
Over the past year, my sense of security and worth has become more and more strong. What's even more surprising is that I also have my own self-media account.
This year has also been busier and more fulfilling than any previous year.
Of course, thanks to the support of the friends, we have today's small results.
In order to thank my friends for their strong assistance, today I will share 5 self-discipline improvement methods that I have been reborn, and I hope that you can also accumulate and realize your wishes in 2024!
1. Reading
In 2023, I will read 14+ books+ intensively, plus 20+ books, which is not worth mentioning compared with others, but it is a real progress for me.
Dong Yuhui said: "When you are confused, painful, frustrated, and helpless, go to study." He also said: "Do more things in good times and read more books in bad times." ”
He stresses the importance of reading all the time.
Because of reading, he speaks chapters, because of reading, his soul is interesting, and because of reading, he is compassionate.
Books saved him from his time of confusion and made him the highlight of his moment.
It's a pity that I only understood and understood the importance of reading in 2023.
At that time, I was confused because of the difficulties in my life. casually flipped through "The Biography of Wang Yangming", and after reading Wang Yangming's biography, those hurdles that I thought I couldn't get over were not hurdles.
At that time, it was suddenly enlightened, the fog of life was lifted, and the direction of action was found.
Pick up the book, talk to the sages, walk with the wise, those dilemmas that we think we can't get out of, the problems that we can't escape, in fact, the answers are in the books.
2. Writing
If I want to say that the biggest change is learning Xi writing.
During the entire study stage, except for an essay written in the first year of high school, which was used by the teacher as a model essay for the students to learn Xi, there was no writing foundation.
By chance, I had the idea of learning to Xi writing.
Just do it, and start the road of learning Xi writing.
I was 35 years old and had no foundation. I also questioned whether I could learn it, but after a year of perseverance, I wrote 100,000+ articles, and also submitted articles to different platforms, with a writing income of 5,000+.
As an older beginner in writing, I am very satisfied and content to achieve these gains in one year.
Think about just starting to learn writing, choosing a title, setting an outline, and finding materials, each of which is an obstacle on the way to learning Xi, and an article has to be written for a week.
Now the writing speed is much faster than before, and the official account is basically faster.
Writing allowed me to discover a new continent and see another possibility in life.
3. Go to bed early and get up early
Since reading and writing, I have started to go to bed early and get up early.
At the beginning, it was difficult to persevere, but after adjusting for about half a year, a biological clock was formed, and I got up at 5 o'clock or 5:30 every day. Recently, because of physical reasons, I just went to bed early and didn't get up early.
But when the body recovers, I will go to bed early and get up early as always.
Many friends ask me how office workers have time to read and write, and how to accompany their children to do homework.
My answer is to wake up 2 hours early.
When you wake up early in winter, it's still dark. When you wake up early in the summer, the birds get up early.
In winter, I watched the sky turn from dark to bright, and I also completed the task of reading and writing that day, and my heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
In summer, listening to the sound of birds, and the occasional bird lying in front of the window, is also full of joy.
The time of waking up in the morning, which I call the Spiritual Energy Journey, is a wonderful time to immerse yourself in your own little world, dance with yourself, and enjoy your solitude.
IV. Improved socialization
I have always believed that if you want to become a powerful person, you have to learn from the big guys in this industry Xi Unfortunately, there is no such person around, so the most direct way is to pay to learn Xi to link with the big guy.
Buying other people's experience with money is the fastest way to grow. And it's the most worthwhile self-investment.
In 2023, I paid 4 figures for knowledge, met several good mentors, and not only learned knowledge from them, but also understood a lot of truths.
No one's success is achieved overnight and easily.
The current mentor has also been deeply involved in a field for many years, and has persevered for a long way to become a mentor and has the current achievements.
Sometimes, we complain that we don't write well and don't read much.
But when you think about it, how much time and energy do we put into these things?
A hard work, a harvest, no mistake at any time.
This year, we will continue to pay for Xi and continue to grow.
In my opinion, any investment is not as reliable and realistic as self-investment.
5. Exercise
To be honest, I've always known the importance of exercise, but I've never found the right time to do it.
In December, I used to commute by train, but I also walked to work.
But helplessly, the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and he was admitted to the hospital.
In the hospital, I learned the importance of good health.
In the future, there will be more emphasis on physical exercise. Especially for people who read and write, exercise is essential.
Haruki Murakami insists on running marathons every year in order to maintain his abundant energy for creation. Although he is now 74 years old, he continues to work hard and continues to produce excellent works.
This is inseparable from his long-term running and insistence on exercise.
In 2024, I will also focus on exercise and look forward to myself after a year of exercise.
Write at the end
The older you get, the more you like to live simply.
Now my unit has two points and one line, and all my spare time is spent reading and writing.
There is no ineffective socialization, no shopping consumption, no inner entanglement, and simple and clear work.
I don't like the twists and turns of life more and more, and I don't like the perfunctory boredom of human feelings more and more.
In 2024, continue copy-pasting your daily life in 2023.
I hope it inspires you and gives you something to think about. In 2024, keep improving, keep improving!#2024#
