How Difficult Is It To Develop Healthy Habits?

Once it hurts, I understand everything.

real.

It's just like that, when you have a fever in the middle of the night, it feels like there are needles pricking in the gaps between your bones. You curl up on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling, thinking to yourself, as long as you can make yourself better, I will never stay up late again, and I will never eat takeout again.

That thought is so real, more real than ever.

But is it better?

Well forget about it.

Humans are such cheap animals.

Who is not afraid of death and seeking death at the same time?

Claimed surveys show that as many as 97% of young people have tried so-called "light health" methods, such as using a thermos cup to brew wolfberry, and using mugwort patches. However, how many people can really stick to it?

The data is quite shocking: more than 60% of people admit that they have "no perseverance" and cannot persevere.

In addition, there is an even more distressing situation, that is, nearly 30% of people belong to the type who know everything, but are unmoved.

That's you, right?

Me too.

We know that we must walk 6,000 steps a day, we know that we must eat as little fried food as possible, and we know that we must go to bed before eleven o'clock.

The knowledge is stored in the brain, but the body just doesn't obey.

Why?

Because bad things happen too slowly

This is probably the most cruel situation set by God.

If you stay up late once, you won't die.

You had a barbecue and your blood sugar was still smiling.

It's like boiling a frog in warm water. The water in the pot is so comfortable, but when I react, my legs are soft.

The same goes for exercise, how tiring it is.

How comfortable it is to lie down.

It’s so cool to watch short videos.

Regarding health, the feedback given is too lagging.

You have to persist for three months to lose two pounds; you have to run for half a year to strengthen your heart and lungs.

But junk food can make you happy in three seconds.

Human nature, everyone wants cash, who wants you to post a postdated check?

So, is it really hopeless?

Neither.

Recently I saw a word called "light health care".

Quite interesting.

Just don’t get in trouble with yourself.

Don't swear to "run five kilometers every day" right from the beginning. You won't be able to last three days.

Break the goal into pieces, so broken that you can’t refuse——

While brushing your teeth, do a few squats

After lunch break, go downstairs and hang out for ten minutes.

Take the snacks off the table and keep them out of sight

This is called "habit bundling."

Tie new habits to old habits.

There is another trick called "finding a partner".

Humans are social animals.

If you run alone, you will become lazy after three days; if you run with a group of people, you will be embarrassed to stop.

Data shows that 22% of people do not exercise because "no one is with them".

You are not lazy, you are just lonely.

In fact, the hardest thing is not starting, but forgiving yourself

Where do many people fall?

After that "breaking the precept".

I couldn't help but eat a late-night snack today, so I thought to myself, forget it, since I'm done, I might as well eat for three more days.

It rained today and I didn’t make it. Forget it, it will be scrapped this week.

Don't do this.

Clinical psychologists have a particularly good tip: Accept your occasional laziness .

Human nature is what it is.

One absence does not mean the destruction of the world.

Wait for yourself in your own time zone.

Also, don't stare at the number on the scale.

Staring at your abilities——

Did you take a few more steps today than yesterday?

Is your breathing easier?

Are you less out of breath when you go upstairs?

This is much more important than weight.

Sometimes I wonder, what exactly is health?

Not that kind of ascetic self-discipline.

It’s not about pushing yourself to death.

Health is a reconciliation between you and your body.

You know, there are many diseases nowadays. It’s not that they can’t be cured, but that their living habits cannot be changed.

For high blood pressure and diabetes, the prescriptions prescribed by doctors are actually "changing your lifestyle."

But it's not that easy.

Someone asked Wang Yangming how to unite knowledge and action?

He said: "Knowing but not doing it is ignorance."

You think you know, but you don't.

If you really know that staying up late will kill you, you won’t stay up.

The reason why you are still enduring is because deep down in your heart you feel - it's still early and it's not my turn.

As I write this, I feel a little ashamed.

This article was pieced together by me after searching for a lot of information, including the "Chinese Consumer Active Health Insights Report" and the "Healthy Lifestyle Medicine Conference", and the data in it are each better than the last.

But when is it finished?

What time should I go to bed tonight?

have no idea.

So be it.

Nothing else to say.

When it comes to health, it boils down to one sentence:

You can fool your brain, but not your body.

Sooner or later it will come to settle accounts with you.
