Where does energy come from?

Where does energy come from? Waking up early, skipping rope, reading, and meditating will make you energetic every day!

Energy is divided into two parts: brain and physical strength! The brain is recharged by meditation and reading, and the body is recharged by exercising muscles.

How can we ensure that these behaviors are easy to practice and become habits?

Professor Fogg believes that: Behavior = Motivation*Ability*Trigger, all three are indispensable.

Motivation: the willingness to perform an action

Ability: the executive ability to complete an act

Triggers: external factors that trigger behavior

The recommended method is simple and easy, so that the ability can be fully achieved. Rope skipping, elastic band stretching, and plank support are all easy to operate with zero threshold. Some people say that I am really too busy and don't have so much time, so getting up early is a good habit, because this time will not be disturbed.

get up early

Due to work reasons, I often have to drive 60 kilometers to go to work in the morning, and I have to rush to the office at 8:15 to hold a morning meeting with my colleagues. In this case, I basically have to get up at 5:30 and drive to work after breakfast and washing. It is not yet 8 o'clock when I arrive at the office. So I found that getting up early can really do a lot of things, which will greatly increase the breadth of your work.

I can prepare breakfast in almost 5 minutes. Cook 6 spoons of oatmeal for 3 minutes, and then mix a box of milk into the oatmeal (oatmeal is rich in vitamins B1, B2, E, folic acid, etc., which can improve blood Circulation. Circulation, relieve the pressure brought by life and work; the calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, manganese and other minerals contained in it also have the effect of preventing osteoporosis, promoting wound healing, and preventing anemia.), so that hot Oatmeal can also be reduced to instant edible temperature. Throwing a few raises into it will instantly enhance the taste of the milk cereal.

In fact, there is still a big difference between oatmeal and oatmeal! The difference between oatmeal and oatmeal:

Oatmeal is rolled directly from oatmeal. There are few processing steps, and it retains the rich nutrition, texture and taste of oatmeal itself. It has less additives and is more reassuring to eat.

Oatmeal is not necessarily processed from oats, it is likely to be mixed with other grains. In other words, oatmeal does not necessarily have oats in the cereal.

Moreover, during the processing of oatmeal, a lot of additives, flavors, saccharin, etc. are added. In comparison, oatmeal is healthier.

jump rope

I am a person who likes sports very much. I like playing basketball, football, and running, but these sports are always so extravagant due to time constraints. In addition, if you do not exercise for a week and suddenly exercise vigorously, it is not good for your health. Some time ago, you will get sick every time you play football. So I found an exercise that only takes 8 minutes a day to do-rope skipping. The advantage of skipping rope is that it is not limited by venues, personnel, and time.

Rope skipping is a kind of fitness exercise that consumes less time and consumes more energy. It can consume 300 kcal of heat in 30 minutes. In terms of exercise, continuous rope skipping for 10 minutes = jogging for 30 minutes = fitness dancing for 20 minutes

Rope skipping can strengthen the muscles of the main part of the body, improve the coordination of hands and brains, and enhance cardiopulmonary capacity. The purpose of exercising can be achieved in a short period of time. Jump 100 per minute, 800 per day can reach the amount of exercise.

I bought a particularly easy-to-use skipping rope, which can record the number and time of each skipping rope with the APP, and can set the content of each training. And it can be used for several months on a single charge.

Precautions for skipping rope:

Try to choose lawn, wooden floor, mud ground with moderate hardness, or spread a piece of plastic & carpet on the concrete floor before jumping, which is better for the body .

Do preparatory exercises before jumping rope, and relax your calves and soles after jumping.

elastic band

Elastic bands are a simple, lightweight piece of equipment that builds upper body strength. Do chest expansion exercises and pull-up exercises 20-30 times a day to achieve better results.

Since the use of elastic bands is relatively rich, you can check this piece online by yourself.

plan

The plank mainly exercises the core muscles, including the transverse abdominals, obliques, rectus abdominals, and gluteal muscles. By doing planks, you strengthen these muscles. When these muscles are strengthened, you will notice an improvement in your athletic performance.

Strengthening the transverse abdominus allows you to lift heavier weights.

Strengthening the rectus abdominis allows you to jump higher.

Strengthening your obliques will allow you to stabilize side bends and improve your lumbar twist ability.

Strengthening your butt muscles will give you a stronger back and a more toned figure.

Precautions:

The toes touch the ground (the toenails are pointing up, not the other way around pressing the toenails on the ground), with the soles of the feet erect. The head, shoulders, back, hips and legs are on the same plane.

The width of the elbows is the same as the width of the shoulders, and the contact point of the elbows is in a vertical line with the shoulders (the shoulders should not go forward beyond the elbows).

Do not lift your hips, slump your waist, lower your head, or move your elbows back and forth! Do not overdo plank exercises

read

The brain needs to be fed, and I choose to read, not listen to books or watch videos. Reading text will make the brain think more, which is conducive to the digestion of content and the establishment of neurons. Reading must be systematic, not one piece at a time. The ability to read is accumulated over time, so you have to work slowly and hard.

What are we reading when we talk about reading?

Success in life = way of thinking x ability x enthusiasm, this is Kazuo Inamori's theory, if we can look at it according to this theory, way of thinking and knowledge are the key contents of a book. Even the way of thinking is more important than knowledge. High-end way of thinking is rare, but knowledge can be produced in quantitative changes.

Therefore, a good book must be able to read the author's way of thinking. Only by putting this way of thinking into practice can we truly gain from the book. The Magic of Thinking Big

The second is knowledge. A book must convey some knowledge, some of which are natural sciences and some of which are humanities. Combining knowledge to form a mind map, forming a framework and model of knowledge is more conducive to understanding and application.

The third is to gain enthusiasm. Some books will make you very excited, and some books will make you more courageous. Gaining enthusiasm from books is also very crucial. Some biography "Silicon Valley Iron Man" can bring me a lot of energy.

It is also very interesting that some books have some novel writing methods. For example, "The Fifteen Years of Wanli" has a psychedelic realism writing method, and the writing method of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is also very special. Tell about philosophy.

meditation

Meditation is a very effective way to exercise concentration and exercise the brain. It takes a while to struggle from a novice to getting used to it. After all, today when time is like gold, everyone will be attracted by the world of flowers and flowers , and they don't want to waste every second. Meditation, on the other hand, does not have as much sensory stimulation. But the benefits of meditation cannot be replaced by other behaviors.

As for meditation, it is especially helpful for improving intelligence, perception and mental state, relieving stress and dispelling negative emotions.

Countless elites such as Musk, Jobs, Bill Gates, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Hollywood have practiced and highly praised it. The role of meditation can refer to the research of Elizabeth H. Blackburn, the winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine .

Blackburn worked briefly at Yale University in the 1970s with the biologist Joe Gall. Back then, she not only sequenced the components of the chromosome ends of Tetrahymena, a single-celled freshwater organism that she describes as a "green algae layer," but also discovered a certain DNA repeat that acts as a protective cap. This "protective cap" is also known as telomere (Telomere), and later, scientists discovered that human chromosomes also have telomeres. When cells divide and DNA replicates, telomeres begin to protect the ends of chromosomes, but they wear down with each division. By the 1980s, Blackburn, along with graduate student Carol Greider at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered telomerase, which protects and repairs telomeres. Even in the presence of telomerase, telomeres continue to shorten over time. When telomeres are too short, cells become damaged and lose their ability to divide—a phenomenon that is now thought to be a key factor in aging. Blackburn eventually won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this work.

Blackburn and colleagues sent subjects to meditate at the Shambhala Mountain Resort in northern Colorado. Those who meditated for three months had 30 percent higher telomerase activity compared to a control group who remained on the waiting list. It also means that meditation can delay aging.

Meditation training involves slow rhythmic breathing, which suppresses the fight-or-flight response and relaxes our bodies. It may also have a psychological stress-reducing effect. Letting go of negative or stressful thoughts may lead us to realize that they are fleeting, inaccurate reflections of reality, and unnecessary. Doing so also encourages us to live in the present, without constantly worrying about the past or dwelling on future plans.

In the complicated work and life, it is necessary to adjust the body and mind, and bid farewell to sub-health! Only by recharging yourself every day in a simple and easy way can you work with better energy!
