Physical self-discipline is important, but in my opinion, mental self-discipline is even more important. Just like the writerMartinsaid: "True self-discipline is not to go out, but to go inside." "Only by being self-disciplined in our thinking can we achieve self-discipline in our external actions. Therefore, I will share four ways to think about self-discipline to help you turn self-discipline into a habit.
In the face of different people and different opinions, we tend to fall into a state of mindset of arguing and correcting. However, the teachings from Lin Qingxuan tell us that different people have different views and positions, and we do not need to correct other people's views. Everyone has their own life experiences and ways of thinking, and no matter how you argue, it is difficult to convince the other person. Instead, we should be mature and rational, understanding that arguing is a waste of time, and focusing on improving ourselves is the best response.
For example,Zhang DaqianPainterExperience has taught us that it's not worth arguing with others when faced with bad comments. If the other party is rightChinese paintingWith understanding, we can choose to learn, otherwise we can keep ourselves smiling. A truly disciplined person will understand that instead of consuming themselves in strife, they should devote their energy to improving themselves.
We often lose ourselves in order to please others. However, our life does not exist for others, we have to realize our own value for ourselves. Living in the expectations of others is like a wooden boat without oars, swaying and losing its direction. If we build our confidence on inner self-confidence, we will not be afraid of the indifference of others.
Yang JiangHe once said: "We used to look forward to the recognition of the outside world, until in the end we realized that the world is our own and has nothing to do with others." "We don't need to be questioned by others, and we don't need to entrust our future to others. Like a bird standing on a tree, our confidence should come from our own wings. Sometimes, we feel exhausted at the end of the day, as if we have been drained of energy, but in fact we are thinking too much. Excessive thinking only torments oneself. We should learn to let go of unnecessary thoughts and not always embarrass ourselves.
For example, there is a girl at work who often worries about whether her plan will be rejected and whether it will lead to ridicule and dismissal. These problems had been bothering her, making her feel exhausted and eventually choosing to quit. However, when colleagues recall her, they feel very sorry because she has potential. Her worries were just superfluous thoughts that hindered her actions. "Cognitive Breakthrough" mentions that the growth of life needs to go through a long period of accumulation, and if we all focus on blind imagination, we will not be able to take the first step. We should be open-minded and not unnecessarily embarrass ourselves.
Some people are always accustomed to blaming others for their problems, not doing a good job is the problem of the leader, not getting along well is the problem of colleagues, and having a bad personality is the problem of the family of origin. However, finding problems in oneself is a sign of maturity. We need to see external criticism as an opportunity for our own growth, constantly analyze our own shortcomings, and accumulate experience from failures.
GymnasticsChampionYang WeiIt has been mentioned that the stateGymnasticsThe team has a "wall of shame", which is plastered with reports of criticism of the players. They see these criticisms as nourishment for their own growth, and they are constantly reflecting and motivating themselves. In contrast, Xu Pu makes use of soybeans andBlack beansways to reflect on yourself. He recorded every good thought and every bad thought in order to push himself to discipline and correct his thinking.
Self-discipline in thinking is an inner practice, and only when we can discipline our thinking can we achieve self-discipline in action. We should restrain ourselves from correcting the desires of others, not living in the values of others, and lighten our burdens every day, and find the reason for everything from ourselves. Through these methods, we can turn self-discipline into a habit and make our lives more organized and positive.
