Immortal cultivator, omniscient person of information

"Body energy is the basis of life activities. Once it is excessively consumed, life will lose its source of power."

Therefore, how much achievement a person can achieve fundamentally depends on how long the body can sustain it.

Only by taking good care of your body first can you get a steady stream of energy to work hard.

Psychologist Wu Zhihong told a case in the book.

Xiaoxi is a hard worker. Not only does he stay up late and work overtime, he rarely rests even on weekends.

Once, Xiaoxi was still sorting out information at his computer desk at two o'clock in the morning when he suddenly suffered an acute myocarditis attack and fainted.

Fortunately, her family found her in time and sent her to the hospital, which put her out of danger.

After the doctor learned about the situation, he advised her not to be too desperate:
"Mobile phones need power, and your body also needs energy. Now your body's energy is close to shutting down. If you don't recharge it, everything will be in vain."

After the doctor's advice, she began to eat and sleep on time after being discharged from the hospital, and also made an exercise plan for herself.

Finally, with the blessing of good health, she achieved the position of manager in less than two years.

I am reminded of Zuckerberg’s words:

Only by staying healthy can you have more energy to do more meaningful things.

No matter how busy you are at work, you should take a break and squeeze out some time for yourself to have a good rest.

No matter how stressed you are, you should relax appropriately to recharge your body and store energy in time.

When a person's body is always full of energy, he will have more motivation to do things.

emotional energy
In 1983, American sociologist Hoch Schild proposed a theory of "emotional labor".

It means that in daily life, in addition to physical and mental work, there is also a kind of emotional labor.

I feel depressed because of an insignificant thing, and I feel annoyed and irritable because of something unsatisfactory...

When a person consumes too much emotion in trivial matters, it will naturally be difficult to have enough energy to deal with more important things.

In the 20s, there was a pair of twin stars McEnroe and Connors in world tennis.

Both are left-handed players with excellent skills and have won many honors.

But every time the two met, McEnroe always lost more than he won.

At that time, a commentator pointed out the problem:
McEnroe's ball is very powerful, but at critical moments, the power is consumed by his emotions.

It turns out that McEnroe always couldn't control his emotions during the game.

When the sweat-absorbing white powder on his hands doesn't satisfy him, he starts to complain; when the referee's decision is controversial, he immediately curses; when he makes the slightest mistake, he becomes dejected.

Even if he still had physical strength after every game, he would be overcome by all kinds of bad emotions and no longer be able to compete.

Therefore, in top duels, his performance was always unstable and he retired at the age of 33.

Connors, on the other hand, always dealt with it with a smile no matter how many ups and downs there were on the field.

In this way, even if he faces no matter how difficult the game is, he can perform stably with the most energy.

In the end, he won many awards, and his career lasted until the age of 44.

In real life, there are many people who have short tempers and break up with others without even saying a few words.

There are also people who like to complain about everything, feel depressed all day long, and are listless in everything they do, and achieve nothing.

I am reminded of the words of Lisa Barrett, a member of the National Academy of Sciences:

Emotional energy is a valuable resource that determines a person's development situation.

Energy is limited, and if you consume too much emotionally, you will naturally be unable to handle things as well as you can.

So controlling your emotions is saving energy.

When you smile more often and feel less upset, you increase your emotional energy and you can concentrate on being yourself. 3
spiritual energy
The famous American marketing guru Nathaniel Fowler Jr. once said:
"Powerful spiritual energy will cause the space to vibrate, and all difficulties will make way for you."

People with insufficient mental energy are passive and lazy, hiding away when trouble comes, and slowly become useless.

And those who have strong mental toughness, become more courageous when faced with difficulties, and have high spiritual energy.

I once met a new media writer who had just graduated. He was young, but his articles had sharp views and very sophisticated writing.

With many years of new media writing experience, I concluded that as long as he persists, he will be able to achieve good results within three to five years.

Unexpectedly, an experience of being commissioned by a million-dollar agency became a turning point in his career.

At that time, he revised an article more than ten times.

The editor was always dissatisfied with the result, and every feedback was dense with comments for revision.

But even if he changed it to the point of collapse, the manuscript still ended up dead.

From then on, every time he was asked to contribute by a large account, he was afraid and refused without hesitation, and only contributed articles to some easy-to-get small accounts.

As a result, his articles became worse and worse, and soon disappeared from the Internet.

Many people in life have a fear of difficulties and tremble when encountering difficulties.

But the more scared you are and the less you want to face it, the more serious the situation will be, and in the end you will be knocked down by the dilemma.

When your mental energy is strong enough and you have the courage to face it directly, you will find that the so-called challenge is actually nothing more than meager.

Mr. Jin Weichun, a well-known Taiwanese media person, founded the magazine "Business Weekly" in his early years.

He invested most of his fortune and spent a lot of effort, but in the end there was little circulation.

In less than a year, the magazine he had worked so hard to establish was on the verge of bankruptcy.

His friend advised him to just forget it and stop the loss in time to save some funds for himself.

Jin Weichun said: "I haven't been afraid of anything. The worst I can do is lose everything and start all over again."

After that, Jin Weichun worked even harder. When there was a problem with the magazine's business direction, he visited his seniors everywhere to learn from their experience;
If the content of the article was not deep enough, he would write it himself and burn the midnight oil.

In the face of difficulties, he tried every means to endure hardships and survived the most difficult days.

Finally, in the sixth year, the circulation of "Business Weekly" ushered in explosive growth, becoming Taiwan's largest magazine.

It was Jin Weichun's unyielding spirit that gave him the energy to reverse the situation.

Yu Minhong said that only when the spirit is strong enough and dares to face any challenges can the work change in a better direction.

If a person wants to achieve something in this life, he must learn to cheer himself up and replenish his spiritual energy.

Turn "I can't" into "I can do it" and "I can't" into "I can learn".

Use unlimited mental perseverance to fight to the death. Your persistence will eventually lead to good things.

And

Drucker, the father of modern management, said that you have to learn to manage energy, not time.

Because whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual, we all need energy to stay active.

You know, a person is like a battery. No matter how large the capacity is, it is useless if there is no power.

If you feel tired and depressed right now, it’s time to recharge yourself.

Try to move your body regularly every day and relax your mind.

Only with a full spirit and reasonable allocation of energy can you truly control your life. (End of chapter)
