# How does self-discipline slowly destroy a person? By [world](https://paragraph.com/@world-3) ยท 2022-05-16 --- one What is the most self disciplined person around you? A year ago, I met Ellie in a literary group. She didn't have a job at that time. She locked herself in a rental house of less than 30 square meters and didn't go out all day. She has been squatting at home for two years and is indifferent to everything that happens around her. The only thing that can connect her with the outside world is the delivery brother who sends her milk tea hamburger and her parents who occasionally transfer some living expenses to her. At that time, the live broadcast and short video platforms were not developed yet, and she was not interested in games and TV dramas. What sustained her for two years alone? It is one after another romance, fantasy, crossing, palace fighting and fairy Xia novels on the Internet. In the world of novels, she can go back to ancient times and stage a love hate entanglement with four and eight elder brothers; She can incarnate into a hot-blooded teenager who counterattacks, upgrade all the way and fight monsters, and finally become the first in the world Facing the disappointments in real life, she didn't think about how to resolve them, but paralyzed herself, immersed in one illusory online article after another, knowing that it was just all kinds of routines and all kinds of low-level sensory stimuli, but she was happy. During the day, at night, you can see it in a daze, you can't see the unreal and reality clearly. Finally, due to the reversal of work and rest, irregular diet and excessive use of eyes, her body completely collapsed and was taken back to her hometown for convalescence by her parents. Without self-discipline, a person spends his life meaninglessly in a confused and drifting day. In the end, both body and willpower gradually sink in this self indulgence. two We "fish" at work, brush the circle of friends, play games and watch dog blood TV dramas without nutrition after work; We have no scruples about letting go of junk food and giving up fitness and beneficial reading; We stay up all night, as if time is never enough, but the emptiness and confusion in our hearts gradually devour us. When I was young, I thought freedom was freedom. Later I realized that self-discipline can bring real freedom. As Haruki Murakami mentioned in the article: when self-discipline becomes an instinctive habit, you will enjoy its happiness. The life rules he formulated for himself are: go to bed early and get up early, don't say discouraged words, don't complain, don't make excuses, run 10 kilometers every day and stick to writing 10 pages every day, just like a fool. Early to bed and early to rise means regular work and rest. Get up when you should get up, work when you should work, and know how to relax and rest; If you don't say discouraged words, you just keep encouraging yourself and don't slack off for a moment; Not complaining is to keep a sunny and positive attitude and give yourself good psychological hints; Keeping running and writing has become a daily routine for him, as essential as three meals a day. When self-discipline becomes a habit and a way of life, a person's personality and wisdom will become more perfect. three A TV program once filmed the day of a house girl weighing 200 kg. The housewife is called Xiaowu and lives with her boyfriend. At eight o'clock in the morning, my boyfriend went to work. Xiaowu was still sleeping and was not ready to wake up at all. Towards noon, she got up slowly, took out her favorite sweet bread and ate it one mouthful after another. At two o'clock in the afternoon, she sat in her chair and began to play video games. At the same time, the mouth is not idle, eating snacks all the time. In this way, I played until 4 p.m. and got into bed for a nap. At six o'clock in the evening, she had dinner alone without waiting for her boyfriend to come back. A full bowl of rice, drenched with a lot of radish mud and orange vinegar, three or two people will eat all the bibimbap. At 9 p.m., Xiaowu began to make her boyfriend's favorite fried chicken nuggets, which were fried for three people. I bought ice cream for my boyfriend at eleven o'clock in the evening. While Xiaowu has already had dinner, she is tempted to stop talking when she looks at the fried chicken. The boyfriend asked, "do you want to eat?" Xiaowu smiled: "well, I'll only eat a little." As a result, she basically ate up a whole plate of fried chicken. In the end, she even grabbed her boyfriend's rice to eat. After eating fried chicken and ice cream, Xiaowu immediately got into bed. Her boyfriend complained to the program team: "she has always been like this. Almost 10 minutes later, I will hear her snoring. I don't understand why she is so tired." Looking at her extremely undisciplined life, I finally understand where her 200kg body and acne all over her face come from. Eating without restraint, indulging in games, refusing to exercise, and having no goal in life, so I live in a muddle every day. four Those who live with extreme self-discipline are cocooning themselves. As Zweig wrote in a Book: she was too young to know all the gifts given by fate. She had already marked the price secretly. Indulge in pleasure and indulge their desires. They seem to live as they please, but they ignore that every act of non self-discipline will bring greater pain. There is a saying that self-discipline is the most important tool to solve life problems and the most important way to eliminate life pain. Many people waste their lives in mediocrity, look at other people's lives and envy them, but they don't have the courage to change themselves. But when you achieve your long cherished goal through self-discipline, you will suddenly find: The world seems to be more friendly to you. Self disciplined people, because they can see the long-term value, choose to sacrifice part of the short-term value and delay satisfaction, so as to be more in control of their own life. Be strict with yourself. When self-discipline becomes a habit, you will thank yourself in the future. Encourage each other. --- *Originally published on [world](https://paragraph.com/@world-3/how-does-self-discipline-slowly-destroy-a-person)*
