Activity without action
Routine is a set of familiar actions that can be carried out without risk. This is a state of activity in which a person is involved, carrying a minimum of new actions and risks…
The word routine is often endowed with a negative shade, although it is it that helps to maintain life at the achieved level. It interferes with the development and achievement of a new step.
Even Rutin has its own unique purpose.
The entire order of our life involves growth and development, buildup of capabilities, acquisition of skills. Even the human body itself develops over time: it becomes larger and stronger, the mass, weight, area that it occupies increases. The brain regularly increases new knowledge, the new experience is teaching.
But there is one but. The pace of personality development does not suit modern society. To succeed, we strive to learn not one, but 3 foreign languages, go not to one European country, but at once at 10, get not one higher education, but 2-3 and t. D. You need to run, and not go in order to be in time for the pace of development of society as a whole.
And everything would be just fine, if not for the powerful resistance that a person meets on this path. As he was not called: laziness, procrastination, burnout, chronic fatigue…
Behind all this is the oldest root cause – the instinct of self -preservation. It was thanks to him that humanity survived, reaching certain peaks. It is thanks to him that we are not crazy, obeying the requirements of modernity.
The instinct of self -preservation dictates to us the need for routine – actions that do not allow us to go beyond the scope of the comfort zone. We stand still, supporting the achieved level of existence. For the most part, we are not moving a step forward.
You have a goal?
Yes, you say, and you will be mistaken as an athlete whose nerves pass on Falstart. Millions of idle dreams never become full goals. The outside world affects us, forcing us to want certain things, states, phenomena. Idle dreams are not a goal.
But even if you converted the dream of a target, deciding that you can start acting, this action will not be a guarantee of progress.
The desire to start something or even quit a powerful internal resistance. So people quit smoking for years, have been sitting on diets for years, constantly putting off and slow in simple household issues, scolding themselves and really perplexed.
And when it comes to significant changes? Suppose you dream of becoming a top manager of a bank or a major business owner. Year after year you are discussing your ideas in the kitchen, you do nothing to come to life. Even having compiled a detailed plan for achieving the goal, you continue to stand still. Why? The unknown is afraid, you retain the status of the CVO unconsciously, obeying the instinct of self -preservation. You plunged into life-rutin.
How do decisive changes begin?
No persuasion, no arguments will help an ordinary person to budge. While life is stable, it is almost impossible to change anything. Unfortunately stability is always only a temporary phenomenon. At best, a person eliminates it himself, striving for new peaks.
But in most situations, stability ends with a period of decline. As a result, a person finds himself in a situation where inaction threatens his full life. The same self -preservation instinct forces him to act, to change to avoid the threat.
In practice, this will iron this way:
A terrible, but stable relationship, make people be together “for the sake of children”, supporting unpleasant but familiar games in the family. And only when one of the spouses can no longer endure this discomfort, they break up.
Loss of reciprocity, disappointment in love, makes a person pull himself together, change his life and habits.
Excess weight leads to illness and encourage diets, go to fitness halls. Although everyone knows that you need to eat right, do exercises and move more to prevent health problems.
Tooth pain – Signal to Brate the doctor. However, it is well known that this could be avoided without waiting for torture.
In general, life flows in anticipation of a “whip” under the slogan “until the thunder is awake…”.
Survival is the deep need of each creature, so procrastination becomes the basis on which our stability is built.
Self -preservation instinct in productivity service
The fashion for procrastination has appeared recently. It used to be called the negative word “laziness” and was considered a vice. Now, the same phenomenon was put on an acceptable appearance, made an object of scientific research and dubbed the disease. And also, they came up with hundreds of ways to deal with him, stated them in thousands of books that were sold for millions of. e.
So humanity has a completely legal reason to do nothing and even receive “buns” for this in the form of pity and concern of brothers.
Starting to go to our goal, we are leaking on the spot. After all, having achieved what you want, you will leave the usual comfort zone, you will find yourself in an alien, unfamiliar territory where you are probably in danger. You can endlessly inspire yourself that it is wrong. But the “gingerbread” will only work by half.
And now, attention! Together “whip and gingerbread” work miracles!
This strategy has found its confirmation in the SmartProgress system.
This is exactly what happens when you can no longer, for example, remain a 100 kilogram bomb due to the fact that you are despised, and want to become a slender person for the attention of the opposite sex.
You leave the whip, right towards the gingerbread. You are in, a kind of stream of charged particles that gives you an impulse for movement.
How to use it? The routine turns human life into sleep. Feel how longing is enveloping you? So it’s time to change your life: realize your whip and your gingerbread! Act!
Firstly, you need to find out-what makes your life unbearable. It is better to raise the question just like that. Then feel as much as possible that you can’t live like this anymore. View your present and future in the context of the threat that hung over it. Agree, you can’t put up with this nightmare!
Secondly, ask yourself what awaits you if you finally attach strength to change. It is important to imagine a bright future and understand that only by changing you can get the degree of comfort and security that you need.
Pretty simple, isn’t it? Yes. Like everything that can really be used in ordinary life.
Now let’s get back to SmartProgress. The principle of “from the whip – to the gingerbread” was also used here “. Using this system, you find yourself in the stream that brings you to your goals. On the one hand, this tool controls your actions, “leaning you to the wall” (of course he does it delicately so that you do not run away), and on the other hand, it allows you to move confidently, motivating with the images of your success.
And what is really good this system is that it allows you to see how to change how you change! And this is perhaps the main incentive of any actions.
Change easily! You just need to find the correct coordinate system in which it is easier to move!
