You must admit that a person's energy is limited.

People's energy is quite limited. The process of giving is much longer than that of taking. Doing anything beneficial to oneself and growth requires energy, which also requires people to use this intangible capital moderately.

I think the sooner I understand these obvious truths, the better.

For a long time, I didn't understand why I felt depressed whenever I participated in some activities with many people, lively atmosphere and frequent interaction. Even when attending a large class reunion, I am a little shy in the face of everyone's cheerful discussion. It was not until a long time later that I realized that this personality characteristic was called introversion. Introversion means that individuals are energetic when they are alone or facing limited objects, but they will feel helpless or even tired when they exceed their own boundaries.

From then on, I began to carefully observe the invisible force flowing in my body: energy. Then constantly sum up all kinds of theories about energy and apply them in life. A very important premise is that people urgently need to know what they are suitable for, what they are not suitable for, what they consume energy extremely quickly, and what they do helps to restore their energy. Once we know this and allocate and adjust reasonably, some problems in life can be solved easily.

Many people like to complain about boredom. In my opinion, boredom is actually a sign of lack of energy. In this state, it is almost impossible for you to do anything meaningful.

Such as efficient work and study.

You can only do some recreational and relaxing things, such as eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching soap operas, playing games and so on. But in this process, your inner fighting spirit is actually gradually worn away. As time goes on, your energy will be more and more slack, and you will often fall into deeper boredom.

Of course, now you know that you shouldn't use these things next time you wake up on a boring weekend.

Love helps you relax and spin in a vicious circle of boredom. But to fundamentally understand what to do, you need to start from scratch.

What is suitable for doing and what is not suitable for doing I have a friend. Reading is like breathing to her. She reads books whenever possible.

At the same time, it is difficult for her to chat with people and kill time. If I talk to her for a while without a theme and fly around, she

She can't help but start reading books, surfing the internet and reading articles, and she doesn't like to keep too close daily contact with people.

Obviously, for her, reading is a effortless thing, and even in a few hours of intensive reading every day, her energy is still growing slowly. However, she is not very keen on daily communication with people. If she goes to a purely social place, she will still feel very uncomfortable. Forcing instinctive self to change is a thankless thing. For example, if you are obviously an introvert, you have to force yourself to be an open pistachio;

Obviously, you are an honest and frank person, so you have to force yourself to say something you don't mean.

Obviously you have a good hobby, but you blindly follow it because you hear that other hobbies are better;

These things will greatly consume your energy and make you exhausted when dealing with these things every day. How can you have time to do other things?

Therefore, knowing yourself and reading yourself is the first step to do all this well.

Exercise energy

Obviously, some things that make us feel energetic and happy are quite constructive, while others are purely for entertainment. And within the acceptable range, there are still some things that are quite beneficial to us. At this time, what you need is to train your energy so that you can keep meaningful things longer.

For example, I can insist on reading this meaningful thing carefully for an hour. After an hour, I need to have a short rest or watch something relaxing. In one day, my reading limit is about three hours. When I spend such a long time studying in a day, everything in my mind is in a mess, and my ability to understand and remember is greatly reduced. Obviously, although reading this matter will not obviously consume my energy, only a small part of my energy value can be used for reading this matter.

What should we do?

At this time, you need to train. You don't have to train nerds to read like drinking water, but you have to raise this limit to an unexpected level. Everything needs training, athletes need to train muscle memory, scholars need to train synapses, and so does energy conservation. Raising the energy limit when doing something meaningful doesn't just mean that you can persist for a longer time next time, but it means that even if you only do it for a certain time, the efficiency will be greatly improved. There is no doubt that the reading efficiency and speed of bookworms will be much higher than ours. More importantly, with the gradual enhancement of energy, you will become more comfortable in doing something and get a sense of pleasure that you have never had before. When you can run 20 kilometers at a time, you can enjoy running 3 kilometers at will, but the effect of exercise has been achieved.

In the gradual training, the energy value of doing one thing is gradually improved, and because it is more interesting, the time for you to do other less important things is shortened. Your life will become more meaningful, more fulfilling and more conducive to your self-growth. Some people may think that this understanding and method is too utilitarian. Why can't our life be more comfortable?

In my opinion, in this era of fierce competition and everyone's comprehensive quality becoming more and more important, self-improvement has become a compulsory course every day, which requires us to adjust our state and make efforts. At the same time, since those more meaningful things can bring us happiness after a period of persistence, why not?

Allocate your energy.

People's energy is limited after all, or the time of day is limited after all, so energy must be distributed on different things. At the same time, no matter how hard we try, there are bound to be some things in life that make us feel embarrassed, go against our nature, or are difficult to be trained, but we still need to do them. Although we know that this will consume energy, there are still some things we are willing to do. Distribution is very important at this time.

If you finish your favorite things in a hurry early in the morning and leave the hardest things to the end, you will feel very tired when you get home every day. In addition, many people relax themselves in the wrong way and then extend their sleep time. Time and time again, many people's lives are actually in a downward curve. Unfortunately, most people have actually entered such a state.

Obviously, in order to do things that we need to spend a lot of energy, such as work.

We need to make full preparations, leave enough space and find ourselves afterwards. There are always many things in life that make people feel collapsed, and the wrong strategy will turn these things into punishment for themselves. For those things that I have to do but make me feel painful, I must summon up courage before doing them. I will write a diary or any other words that satisfy me (such as this one), do a regular exercise (such as copying words), or finish something that makes me happy (such as watching a documentary). Note that everything you need to do should focus on yourself, not be distracted. Therefore, it is impossible to do something entertaining. )

After these things were done, I began to bury myself in my previous plan, interspersed with some small moves that did not affect my work, such as listening to music or reading an article. When I finish, I will feel tired, so I will continue to do something that makes me relax but not slack off. In fact, all this is easy to do, not intentional. When a process is familiar to you, everything becomes logical.

Again, people are different. Instead of exhausting energy to force yourself, it is better to do something. Some people are workaholics, and some people, like me, are often not enthusiastic about their work. But work is necessary, so I have been looking for new working methods. Until I can regain my energy at any time, or feel that the work is no longer so painful.

Besides studying and working, the allocation of other time is equally important. If you decide that the time to go home every night is your own charging time, reading, watching movies and writing, then you can't make yourself feel uncomfortable and tired when you go home. You can move things to other times, do some exciting things after work, and make yourself feel at home in some things through training. Anyway, you have to find a way to make your daily life more balanced, instead of finishing a part halfway and then doing nothing.

The relationship between energy and physical strength

The reason why I insert physical strength here is because physical strength is a very important existence, which can be said to be the guarantee and even source of energy. A patient with lower physical strength than normal people must not have enough energy to do anything. A weak person will get carsick by bus, and naturally he doesn't have enough physical strength to ensure that he can play the role of energy. Physical strength is a symbol of a person's health. If you are not healthy enough, you will naturally be affected by various factors and you will not be able to concentrate on doing useful things. Of course, the importance of physical strength does not stop there. Physical strength and energy are two kinds of elastic magic. If used correctly, it will bring twice the result with half the effort.

A long time ago, I heard a story that a person would do aerobic training for half an hour before going to work every day, and then he could work energetically all day. When I first heard the story, I couldn't believe it. If I do aerobic exercise for half an hour before going to work, I will be sleepy all day. Of course, this is the difference between a person who has entered a virtuous circle and a person who has just started the cycle. Physical strength and energy are energy that can be quickly recovered, which is elastic and can be significantly improved through training, especially for those who have been trained. When a person is refreshed through physical exercise, his energy will rebound, and this process is often not positively related to the decline of physical strength. Have you ever had such an experience:

Sometimes after a day of running and physical exercise, you will feel full of energy, extremely excited and even unable to fall asleep quickly. Perhaps this special case does not mean that people's energy can even increase with the decline of physical strength, but it also shows the importance of exercise.

Obviously, if you stay at home all day, or even longer, you may not be able to stay energetic at all. Protecting energy from damage, since energy is such an important and easily lost intangible asset, it is obviously an important thing to protect it. Modern society has a faster pace and higher intensity, and all kinds of things and information are scattered everywhere, destroying energy everywhere. At present, there is no good way to summarize all the circumvention methods, but I think the following points are obvious:

1, avoid being self-centered.

Meaningless things. Too many people spend their will, energy and time on things that have nothing to do with them every day, just because they are bored. I have to say that this is a vicious circle. Boredom is due to lack of energy, and the way to kill time will bring you more losses: energy becomes weak, spirit is slack, and time is consumed. And finally? Can they really get any happiness? Actually, no. Moreover, paying attention to the follow-up effects brought by meaningless news and events can often hurt people more. Arguments, anger and unrealistic ideas. Besides, it is hard for me to see the benign consequences of this worry. If someone really thinks that paying attention to some essays every day can make them feel entertained, as I said above, please pay attention to the distribution.

2. Avoid mood swings.

Of all the things I know, nothing can directly consume a person's energy like strong emotions. If it is strong happiness and excitement, that's fine, but if it is strong negative emotion, it will directly paralyze your energy. For some sadness, pain and anxiety, avoidance is impossible, but for others, it tests a person's coping ability. Some similar emotions come from ourselves. If so, then we need to think about our life strategies.

3. Keep the balance of life.

Maintaining the balance of life includes two parts, physiological balance and psychological balance. The balance of the body requires people to keep control of intake, sleep and exercise, and adapt to any situation that requires the body. The same is true of psychological balance, which is a category above avoiding emotional fluctuations. This is a mysterious state, which is difficult to express in words. But when you are in this state, you will always feel peaceful and rich. If this state rarely appears, you should try to move closer in this direction.

4. Don't do anything harmful to your energy when you are full of energy.

Feeling energetic and in good shape now? This is a good beginning, but it may still point to a bad ending. Maybe you don't have to force yourself to do a great thing at once, but at least you should seize this good opportunity and go further. Remember, the wrong way to relax is a vicious circle, and you will unconsciously ruin your good state and previous efforts.

Gain energy

Obtaining energy is actually a concept corresponding to protecting energy from damage, but it focuses more on what we are going to do than what we are not going to do. I think the following points have proved to be very effective through practice and are worth sharing:

1, keep regular and adequate sleep:

It is so important to keep regular and adequate sleep that people who are in a mess in other aspects of their lives can quickly return to a good state after sleep repair. I have a friend who goes to bed a little later every night than the day before, until he goes to bed in the morning and gets up at night, then goes to bed at noon and gets up at midnight, and finally goes to bed at night and gets up in the morning. The time is very short. I always thought that her work and rest were hopeless, and this terrible lifestyle also brought her great harm. For example, she is in poor health, her skin is dull under beautiful makeup, and she is agitated and pestering. Even though she spends much less time in a normal state every day than ordinary people, after a long period of deep sleep, she can quickly return to a normal state and do what she likes in that state, which fully shows the important role of sleep. You should have had the experience of sleeping very hard at night and feeling much better after a long sleep. So, please keep enough regular sleep and don't find any reason. Although there are always special circumstances, it is certain that most people stay up all night, especially those who have irregular work and rest for a long time. It's tiring to focus on unnecessary things. Refreshing the webpage and playing mobile phone before going to bed will directly damage the quality of sleep. Why?

Read a book, stay calm and sleep. Your sleep of seven to eight hours during the day will never let you down.

2. Cultivate correct hobbies:

Unfortunately, even though I don't want to be politically correct at all, the fact is that some hobbies are just better than others, such as reading, watching movies, writing, photography, painting and so on. These hobbies will make you feel happy, cheerful, happy and satisfied, and play a role that some other hobbies can't satisfy. When people are born, they are mostly vulgar. Except for the real genius, no one likes these things naturally, and many of them are cultivated or even forced. When the public knows that this hobby is better and more meaningful, I think what is needed is to be close and study hard. When many people slack off, the first thing they want to do is something that is not really interesting and will not bring many good results. Instead of doing these things, it is better to cultivate yourself to love more valuable hobbies. Of course, one thing needs to be emphasized. Some seemingly meaningless hobbies will vary from person to person and produce completely different effects. If you do, let yourself really relax, for example, after the carnival, you feel that your emotions have been vented (I will only feel empty)

Then of course you can do it. This comes down to this.

The bottom is to find out what you are really suitable for.

3. Stay active.

I have talked about this point in the section of physical strength and energy, but I want to emphasize it further here. Maybe you really found a hundred reasons not to do special exercise (like me), so at least keep exercising and don't let yourself stay where you are. I walk on the road for an hour every day when I go to work. Often go out to participate in activities or go somewhere by yourself. If I happen to be wearing sneakers, I will run around occasionally. Although I can't compare with those senior runners who can run 10 thousand meters at a time, I do get more energy to do things. Remember: life is a flowing form, and it is difficult for a motionless person to be energetic. Even writers who sit and write for a living generally have the habit of going out for a walk. What spirit can a person produce in a small room? Except sulking alone.

I used to spend day after day in the vicious circle I described, wasting time on all kinds of meaningless things and wasting the good times of my youth on finding no way out. It was not until I carefully observed the details of life, found out the rules and methods, and persisted in practicing for a long time that I gradually mastered the rhythm of life. With the accelerated pace of work, the emergence of various new situations and the rapid improvement of self-requirements, I constantly correct my previous ideas and put forward new theories to solve practical difficulties. It is in this kind of thinking that thinking can fly, thinking can be broadened and will can be firm. Only by lowering the center of gravity and concentrating our thoughts can life be simple and rich. No matter what kind of success you ultimately aspire to, practice in this field can make you go further.

You know, all of us will get old, and almost all of us will get old earlier than we thought, and the most common language when we get old is limited energy, but our minds are willing but unable. When this energy is hopeless, we should cherish it proudly. At that time, you won't regret saying that I let wealth slip out of my life while I still had a chance to develop my potential.
