A year's plan starts with spring, a day's plan starts with morning

Text/Chen Li

I remember that for a period of time in 2018, my work and life were very chaotic, extremely exhausted, I had irregular diet, overeating, and my work and family life were very chaotic. Under tremendous mental pressure, I gained more than 10 pounds in just 2 months. I walked on the street every day, dragging my heavy steps like Mr. Sloth, aimlessly, and almost falling into depression.

? During that time, my daily life was like this:

The first alarm clock in the morning clicked at six-thirty, click, click, click a few times, and turned off. I put off the alarm clock and went back to sleep. I counted a few times before getting up. I hurriedly got dressed and washed. While washing, I urged my child to get up. I planned to make an egg custard for my child, but when I saw that it was too late, I had to forget it. , hurried downstairs with the child, bought eggs and soy milk, the bus came, and looked at the time and was almost late. After the child was sent to school, more than half of the time had passed, and the breakfast he bought was still in his hand. , I didn’t even have time to eat and got into the bus heading towards the work.

? During that time, during the rainy season, I encountered a traffic jam. I was waiting for the bus but it still didn’t come. I called Didi. It was 500 meters away and I waited for 20 minutes. It was so jammed. What a feeling. I was so anxious that I wished I could put on a pair of wings and fly over. It is said that the Land of Abundance is full of scenery. Although we are in such a beautiful city, we have no intention to appreciate it.

When I checked in at the company, I really clicked on it and it was just right. I am afraid that my boss and colleagues will see me. Every time I come to the office cautiously, I quickly get into work mode for the day. After a busy morning, when it was time for dinner, I remembered that I didn’t even have time to eat the breakfast I bought. Sometimes I even didn’t have time to drink a sip of hot water because I didn’t have time to get up to get a glass of water or didn’t even think about drinking it. The water thing.

Day after day, repeating this kind of life while being anxious and busy not only affects work, family, and life, but also makes you unable to see the results of all your efforts, resulting in low efficiency and poor status. , going to bed late, getting up late, irregular living habits, a vicious cycle.

Later, I accidentally read two books, one was "The Golden Rule of Time Management" and the other was "Self-Control". Only then did I find my former self.

Mr. Goethe said: "Don't wait for tomorrow to do what you do today, and don't wait for others to do what you do."

Yes, and my really ideal day should have started like this:

Go to bed early, wake up naturally from sleep, stretch out in a comfortable big bed, Let your body gradually wake up; get up, light the fire and make porridge, then play beautiful soft music, wash up, and wake up the children; fry the eggs, beat the soy milk, toast the bread, and stir-fry a vegetarian dish, a simple breakfast is good It’s time, the children have washed up, and we sit together to have breakfast and watch the morning news. After everything is finished, it’s still early, and the children go to their rooms for morning reading. I can also finish the most important things of the day. Occasionally I still have free time to read books.

Because there is only one kind of investment in the world that can only make money but not lose money, and that is learning.

My favorite business celebrity, Sergio, the CEO of Fiat and Chrysler, gets up at 3:30 every morning, drinks some coffee and eats some bread, and starts working. An executive at his company once said: "Sergio created the eighth day (of the week) and we made it happen." Another executive once said on 60Minutes: "When Italy has a holiday, he Return to the United States to work; when the United States is on vacation, he will return to Italy to work. "With free time, Sergio can do whatever he wants.

A friend once asked me, "How much time do you have to read, study, and create every day?"

Actually, what I want to say is, since that period Over time, I have controlled myself very well and managed my time well. Time controlled me before, but now I control time. It’s that simple.

Although I am not a celebrity, I also want to have the habit of living like them, the habit of getting up early. It is obvious that getting up early has many benefits.

First of all, my time is getting longer.

In those two hours when I get up early in the morning, I am no longer waiting for the alarm clock to ring. During these two hours, I will not be disturbed by text messages, WeChat, or phone calls. While you are still sleeping, I am already After making breakfast and reading and studying, when you get up, maybe half of my work today has been completed, I have even written an article to be published that day, and I am already on my way to send my children or on my way to work. Life seems to have been interrupted. Elongated.

Looking at the scrolls of history, emperors of all dynasties have the habit of getting up early, reading in the morning and attending court in the morning. Looking at the present day, many people use the two hours in the morning to widen the gap with others and achieve success. The dream in your heart.

American Lakers star Kobe Bryant, in the BNA inspirational short film "How Successful Do You Want to Be", a reporter asked Kobe why he was so successful. Kobe asked: "Do you know what it's like at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles?" The reporter shook his head.

Kobe said: "I know what it's like at four o'clock every morning in Los Angeles.

"

Since Kobe entered BNA, he has maintained this habit. He has insisted on getting up at four o'clock in the morning to practice and shoot a thousand goals every day. The reason why Kobe can reach such heights is Fame, in addition to talent, is largely due to hard work. While most people are still sleeping, he has already started practicing.

There is no shortcut to true success.

When we look around the world and look at successful people around the world, too many of them have the habit of getting up early. Hong Kong’s richest man, Li Ka-shing, gets up at 5:59 every day to exercise and watch the news; Apple founder Steve Jobs, every morning. Get up at 4 o'clock and work at home until around 9 o'clock before going to work; Disney Group CEO Bob Iger once told the New York Times that he usually gets up at 4:30 and uses the quiet time before going to work to read, read newspapers and watch TV. During this period of time, no one will disturb him, and he can handle many things at the same time.

If we throw stones for a lifetime, even if we close our eyes, we will definitely hit it once. Life is like a big stage. Everyone has a role to play. As for what role to perform, it is up to you to decide. Let us replace the worries in advance with thinking and planning in advance! No matter when you start, the important thing is not to stop after you start. Stop. One today is worth two tomorrows.

Secondly, you will be more energetic if you go to bed early and get up early.

Many people have told me that they just can’t go to bed early and fall into bed. I can't fall asleep or wake up after a while, and I don't want to sleep after waking up. In fact, this is related to my personal living habits. If I want to be more energetic the next day, I can only go to bed early at 9pm the night before and go to bed early in the morning. I get up at 5 o'clock and go to bed at 12 o'clock in the morning. I get up at 8 o'clock in the morning and sleep for the same 8 hours, but the body feels completely different because the movement of human body organs is regular and the skin starts metabolism at 9 o'clock in the evening, 21 hours a day. :00 to 23:00 is the working time of the Sanjiao Jing. It’s time to go to bed and rest. If you are still in an excited state, you will always feel sleep deprived when you get up the next day, and some may even have a sore neck and are out of shape.

My suggestion is that no matter how the seasons change in spring, summer, autumn and winter, you must go to bed at 22:00 at the latest. Also, the feet are important weight-bearing and movement organs of the human body. The fatigue of the feet is no more than that of other organs of the human body. I feel exhausted. People often say: “Feet are the second heart of a person, and health care starts from the feet. "After taking a bath before going to bed every day, you might as well soak your feet with 40-degree warm water to soothe and relieve the fatigue of the day. It will make it easier to fall asleep and be in a better state to live calmly and enjoy life the next day.

< p> Don’t live tiredly when you are young, eat the fattest, live the laziest, and love the stupidest. The best youth in your life will pass by in a flash. I hope you can enjoy it with your heart. < /p>

Again, it is easier to be yourself in the early morning.

What you can do and what you cannot do are just a matter of thought. If you want to become a strong person, you must not bypass the thorns in your way. You can't avoid the erosion of wind and rain. There is only one chance in a person's life to make a difference, and that is now. Pass the road in the clouds and only kiss the footsteps of climbers. I am proud of your performance today.

< p> Get up early every day, after playing pleasant music, having a hearty breakfast, and relaxing yourself. From 6 to 8 o'clock, the brain is the first prime time period when it is most active. During this period, it is best to choose to read, read newspapers, and create. It works, because that moment every morning is the time when you are closest to yourself and the only time you can spend time with yourself.

Moreover, watching the whole city wake up from the tranquility and slowly start to get busy with traffic. , people come and go, and there will be an unexpected sense of peace and stability in this world.

We all long for a comfortable, comfortable or better life. In fact, I think truly beautiful things are free, such as beaches and beaches. Sunshine, sea, good weather, and enjoying the slowly rising morning.

Enjoy the rare uninterrupted peace, read the book you want to read, play soothing music, and do something. Have a delicious breakfast, or look at the faint morning light outside the window and be in a daze.

The plan for the year lies in spring, and the plan for the day lies in the morning.

During this time, What other wonderful things can we do?

01? Yoga

Yoga is one of the best aerobic exercises for breathing. Its meditation can relax the brain. Especially in spring, it is a suitable season to practice yoga. Learning yoga in spring can bring you vitality, and it can also help you detoxify and activate blood, and release the energy accumulated in the body and mind in winter. Aerobic yoga has become a popular method in recent years. As an aerobic exercise, in fact, aerobic yoga is also very effective in losing weight. As long as you persevere, you can achieve the goal of losing weight.

Practicing yoga is a way to enjoy the scenery of the mountains on the roadside before heading towards the end of the journey of life. ——Tahara Toyomichi, Japan

02? Reading

Reading is inherent in a person from the time he speaks. He uses language and words to obtain information and understand. world, develop thinking, and gain aesthetic experience.

Dong Qing said something in the "The Reader" program, which impressed me very deeply, "If life is a journey of constant choices, then when you have read all the thousands of sails, what will be left behind in the end is a unique landscape of your own." Reading can change your mind, which may change your destiny.

03? Listen to music

A piece of soothing music can add a romantic atmosphere to the morning. Stand on tiptoes, dance indoors, spin in circles, let your thoughts fly and move your body.

Light music "Two Springs Reflect the Moon", hot songs "Seaweed Dance", "Burn My Calories", etc., dance, sing, let yourself go, and relax for the day.

Music is the greatest happiness in life; music is a clear spring of life; music is a furnace for cultivating one's temperament. ——(Chinese Composer) Xi Xinghai

04? Delicious breakfast/pastry

Nowadays, many young people often skip breakfast, and their bodies are gradually destroyed by themselves over the years. Yes, eating a good breakfast is the most direct way to improve your happiness. And for breakfast, you don’t have to worry about your body shape, you can eat all the food you want. In the process of preparing and enjoying breakfast, relax your anxious emotions, feel the taste of food, feel the magic of nature, and feel the organs in your body being slowly awakened.

No matter what state you were in yesterday, start your day full of energy and energy with breakfast today.

Shakespeare has a famous saying: "Spring does not keep itself, don't blame the east wind." Everyone should cherish youth and time, and don't blame the changes in the world.

Take control of your time, be the best version of yourself, and be the true meaning of time. There is an old Irish song that goes like this:

Spend time on your dreams, it will make you happy. You are closer to the stars;

Spend time on reflection, it enables you to avoid mistakes;

Spend time on laughter, it is the symphony of the soul;

Spend time on friends, it will lead you to find happiness;

Spend time on loving and being loved, it will help you find the true meaning of life.

Life is not easy nine times out of ten. Work and life are the process of life, but they are not the whole of life. In addition to work and life, you should also leave time for the people you care about. Only then can life shine brightly and time management have real meaning. Please take some time for yourself, and please take time for the people you love and love you to have a happy time with them.

Can you do it? Let's do it together!
