Want to exercise, want to do things but always lack a little bit of motivation? Psychologist: By saying "4 words" to yourself, you can overcome your procrastination

"I originally said that I had to run every day, but I had been wasted for three days……"

"I really didn't have any energy to read……"

Whether it's work, exercise, or learning It is still to cultivate a new habit, procrastinate the development of what you want to do, and not complete it as scheduled, which is indeed frustrating. The "unfinished" setback will make us less confident, feel that we are very calm and dirty, and cannot accomplish big things. This state makes us less motivated to achieve our goals and form a vicious cycle.

For this reason, American psychology expert Jeffrey Bernstein provides a method that he calls the four-word formula (four-word formula), Bernstein I discovered from my own experience with my business case that by changing my way of speaking, I can overcome the situation of procrastination.

We are all familiar with Nike's classic advertising vocabulary “Just Do It!” (just Do It!). When we lack motivation, most of us will also talk similar words to ourselves to motivate ourselves. If you change &ldquo "Just Do It!&rdquo" to &ldquo "I&rsquo"ll do it anyway!&rdquo" (I will do it anyway!) the effect may be better. The essence of this sentence is that you don't need to wait until you are fully prepared or have 100% motivation to start acting. The idea of perfection is the cause of most procrastination.

If you analyze these four-character formulas in detail, the psychological implications behind them are as follows:

I’ll It is to put you on the driving seat and take responsibility for the purpose you want to go. No one can do it for you except yourself.

Do it is to reorganize your direction, no longer turn on the spot, and focus on what you want to accomplish.

anyway This word is the key to the four-character formula. It can relieve your anxiety, stoke your perseverance, and tell you that no matter how difficult or imperfect the situation is, it cannot stop you from doing it.

Taking writing an article as an example, Bernstein would tell himself that no one really cares what I wrote or how I wrote it, but no matter how I would do it (I’ll do it anyway!), which would help him produce the article as scheduled.

The language you often use will affect your thinking, your thinking will affect your emotions, and your emotions will affect your actions. Therefore, these elements are related and inseparable. Start by changing the way you speak and change the endless procrastination!
