Thoughts
为了找到生活中什么最重要,并朝着这个方向不断前进,我们可以先看看自己所处的角色。
是妻子,孩子,公司职员....接着我们可以对这每一个身份做一个规划:我想成为什么样的人?我该怎么做?
为了让这个目标及计划尽可能的生动可以运用visualization,在大脑里不断的预演这些你想做的事,想象这个过程中可能遇到的困难。如果这个过程足够真实,我们的计划就会更有效。
《把时间当做朋友》有一节就说的是预演的作用,只有大量的进行预演,我们才能在实际执行任务时有出色的表现。
作者在脑中预演自己的孩子不守规矩,他会想象的非常生动,比如熊孩子具体怎么捣蛋,他脸上的表情如何。越是生动的想象,自己的感受就越深刻。
此时的自己就以局外人的身份看待这一切。如果真正发生时,自己肯定会大发雷霆,对孩子大吼大叫。但此时,局外人会冷静的思考应该如何应对,应该用爱耐心的引导孩子。多做这样的训练,当成为习惯了,自然也就会在现实生活中这样行动了。
在脑中预演了后最好能将这些具体的计划写出来。因为大脑的短期记忆容量不够,我们可以借助纸币让每一笔具体化。
Writing is a kind of psycho-neural muscular activity which helps bridge and integrate the conscious and subconscious minds.
作者也鼓励我们mission statement,而且不用指望马上写好,因为他是一个慢慢积累和完善的过程。
