Some people may ask, after reading so many books, people don’t want to return to an ordinary city, take an ordinary job, and form an ordinary family. Why bother?

What is the meaning of reading?

Reading can make people live without being humble and clean.

Reading can solve more than 80% of the confusion.

The main problem for many people is that they don’t read much and think too much.

Reading can quietly erase the superficiality and ignorance on your face.

The so-called book is still medicine, good reading can cure foolishness. When encountering problems, the books you have read can make you think and weigh more, and less blindly follow and trust.

Reading can make you vast.

In the book, you can find famous mountains, giant rivers, historical sites, deep forest valleys, and exotic flowers at any time. This is the grand tour of the soul.

So, no matter what, develop the habit of reading and spend at least half an hour reading every day. No one can take away the thoughts and power you have gained.

Exercise when sad

A netizen once shared his story of getting out of trouble by exercising. Frustrated by both career and love, he lives in denial of himself every day. The friend couldn’t stand it and forced him to exercise.

At first he was extremely reluctant. But after an exercise, his mood was unexplainably relaxed, and the depression accumulated in his heart seemed to be drained away with sweat. Since then, sports have become a part of his life.

What exercise brings to people is a physical change: you can control your weight well, keep your body healthy, and you can also become vigorous.

But it is more of a kind of self-sublimation: from laziness to diligence, overcoming procrastination, exercising willpower, and ushering in new opportunities.

It’s never too late to start exercising; keep on exercising, and you will gain in the end. When a person’s body moves, the heart can move, and only then can one have the energy to explore life, discover the world, and enjoy life.

Calm mood at low point

What are the most important abilities in a downturn?

The trough of life is that the individual’s ability has not reached that ability. After the ability is improved and the height is changed, the hurdles and mountains that were previously thought to be impossible to climb have become flat ground.

In fact, the so-called adversity is nothing more than your current ability is not enough to support the life you want.

Entering the trough, all you have to do is to concentrate on practicing and wait for the flowers to bloom.

Maintain self-discipline and set some plans and goals for yourself. You can learn a new skill, such as swimming and shooting; you can adjust your state to be more positive, optimistic, and upward; you can also cultivate the good habit of getting up early, going to bed or taking a lunch break.

Learn to settle, settle words and deeds, settle emotions, settle the heart, re-anchor the direction, and pick up the upward passion.

Work hard, dare to break the game, and spread all the sadness, all the injustice, all the grievances on the action, no matter how long the road is, it will eventually reach the top.

Introspection when alone

A person should set aside time for introspection every day, and make a self-examination of every word, deed, and even thought of oneself that day.

If one sentence is wrong, try to speak more appropriately and appropriately next time, this is progress;

Do one thing wrong, strive to avoid making the same mistake a second time, this is growth;

If you have a bad idea, you can’t easily indulge yourself, analyze and correct it positively. This is a new beginning.

May as well leave yourself more time to be alone, have a long conversation with your heart, sink your heart to examine yourself and face your life squarely.

A person who knows how to introspect has the ability to renew himself. Only if you are willing to face your own mistakes and shortcomings, can you continuously improve and improve yourself.

Keep a good attitude

1. Be strong inside

People who are concerned about gains and losses will not have an open mind, will not have a calm state of mind, and will not have true courage.

Don’t be too anxious when facing difficulties, look away from what you should look away, and let go of what you need to let go. Learn to live like what Feng Zikai wrote: “Since there is nowhere to escape, it is better to be happy; since there is no pure land, it is better to be meditation; if there is no wish, it is better to be relieved.”

2. Be calm and humble

People who care too much often have a bad life. There is no true “perfection” in the world, and sometimes it is counterproductive to worry about everything and the pursuit of perfection.

“Great wisdom must be modest, and great kindness must be forgiving.” If you don’t use your own ruler to measure others, you will find that life will be much less “unsatisfactory.”

3. Be open and inclusive

If you want to live a rich life, you should maintain an active and open “empty cup mentality”, learn more and get in touch with new things.

Don’t always be prejudiced, let alone blindly resist, temporarily let go of what you have learned, heard, and seen in the past, and accept and learn more. Only by opening your horizons can you change your cognition and open a door to a new life.
