Thinking determines action, and action determines the future! We all know this inspirational quote! But the reality is that we often only think, but not act. The distance between knowing and doing is always out of reach. Take a chestnut as an example: the core point of losing weight is energy difference (consumption is greater than intake), which is what we often say: open your legs and shut up. Many people understand this basic truth, but when it comes to hugging your legs, you often can't help but open your mouth.
What interferes with our behavior and makes our actions not follow our thinking? Thinking determines action, but what determines thinking?
Thinking is so important that we can't just know what it is, but we don't know why! Only by mastering the process of thinking can we have valuable thinking and truly change our actions.
Give a chestnut
It's important to keep your mouth shut, so that you can have a better figure. But as soon as I see the delicious food on the table, I will forget my weight loss goal and eat it! This physiological decision-making process is roughly like this. When the brain is weighing "immediate reward" and "future reward", the temptation of eating, drinking and having fun in time will activate the original reward system in our brain and stimulate the secretion of dopamine, so that we can't help but choose the food in front of us and forget the distant goal in the future-to have a good body! Our self-control ability is influenced by the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Whenever dopamine tells us to eat, drink and have fun, the prefrontal cortex reacts with each other, activating the rational part of the brain and asking us to refuse temptation.
When you understand the thinking process of the brain controlling the mouth, you can try to create a surrounding environment to make the prefrontal cortex of the brain play a better role, beat dopamine in time and refuse to eat, drink and be merry.
Personally, I usually do this.
1, put all the snacks in the drawer instead of directly on the table;
2, procrastination, when faced with the temptation of high-calorie food, tell yourself 10 minutes before deciding whether to eat or not;
3, constantly imagine my long-term goals, imagine my body, and imagine the future results;
4. Ask yourself if I am willing to give up my future achievements in exchange for the short-term pleasure now.
In the whole process of losing weight, I read books on psychology and chemistry in order to explore the thinking process of self-control. In order to find out the role and misunderstanding of personal trainer for dieters, I observe and think from the perspectives of personal trainer course marketing, personal trainer salary system and gym business operation. In order to find the correct weight loss exercise index, I explored the theoretical and scientific basis of iWatch's health management application. I even thought carefully about the influence of the color of food and tableware at home on my weight loss. Through this series of thinking process, I gradually formed a more systematic theory of weight loss and sports psychology.
In this thinking system of weight loss and exercise, I can make the following things clear, so as to help you avoid the thinking trap in weight loss and achieve the goal of healthy life and good figure.
1. Why is it important to put the gym bag in the trunk every morning?
2. The mental method and exercise method of reducing 10 kg per month.
3. Should I go to the gym to find a personal trainer? How to choose?
4. Why are people who simply diet and lose weight more likely to be unfaithful to their spouses?
5, see through the illusion of the brain and easily run ten kilometers.
6. Why is the HIIT course important for busy people?
7. What kind of tableware should I choose when I lose weight?
8. How to avoid private education?
9. How to use the reward of dopamine to keep exercising?
10, how to master a sports skill easily.
