Often people praise my strong motivation, said I at this age, can overcome inertia, resist temptation, in everyone stay up late, brush the mobile phone when insist on early exercise, reading and writing, is very rare, and concluded: Zhou Ling is a person of strong self-control. No, no, no, this is all appearances! In fact, my self-control is not strong at all, and I even think that my natural inclination for comfort, simplicity, novelty, and fun is stronger than average. Even now, once I look at my phone, I'm not sure I can get away with it, let alone before. Once upon a time, I also played games all day and spent all night reading Weibo. I was constantly drawn by one hot topic after another, and I had no idea of growing up in my heart. The first thing I do when I wake up is reach for my phone, and I always expect to start the day in a comfortable state. As a result, I waste my time in trifles. Especially in completely autonomous hours, I find myself doing almost nothing -- knowing I have more important things to do, but a voice in my head telling me to have fun first. The whole person is muddled, like a rudderless boat in the current of life, unable to control the direction. Finally, one day, after much self-reproach, I decided to help myself. The best thing that came to mind at that time was to develop strong self-control, and I thought that if you had self-control, you could definitely change the situation. I've tried a lot of things, but nothing works -- human inertia is too powerful! After many failures, I finally found that there was no way to fight against nature, and I had a vague sense that self-control does not mean action. In subsequent exploration, the conjecture was gradually confirmed: true action is not entirely derived from self-control. With this in mind, I began to use new mechanisms to reconfigure my action and slowly metamorphose into another self. You may not realize it, but every morning when you wake up, you receive the gift of pure attention. No matter what you went through yesterday, after a night's sleep, your energy is always rebooted.

However, many people don't take this seriously. At the beginning of the day, they dive into their phone messages or whatever they find interesting and get lost in it. This is like throwing this precious gift directly on the ground, in the long run, the fate of nature will not be favored. Why do you say that? Because life is a complex system, and good works in its own way. Denella Meadows, author of "The Beauty of Systems," tells us that there is an underlying system called the "reinforcement circuit." It happens like when two kids argue. One punches, the other kicks harder, and each time they react, they reinforce the conflict and escalate the violence. Attention use follows the same pattern, with the initial choice influencing the direction of automatic reinforcement of the behavior.

If we deliberately avoid the attraction of relaxation and entertainment when we wake up, and read a book, exercise, or do some important work first, our energy will become concentrated and increase automatically. For example, after getting up to exercise, you can make your mind clear and energetic, in this state to do important work will be very smooth, the more smooth the work, the better the state, the loop gradually strengthened; For example, after getting up early to read, the more you read, the more questions and feelings you have in your mind, which in turn will produce a stronger desire to read, and the circuit will gradually strengthen. Once our circuitry is strengthened, we will enter a state of productivity and fulfillment, where will we have the energy to pay attention to the news we can see or not see? Whether the attention-enhancing circuit is positive or negative depends largely on your initial choices, which is a cliche: first things first!
