充实的生活,就是简简单单
荷叶/译 提升生活,我喜欢简单的方式。提升生活,每天都有机会,我们只需善加利用。我只想掌握好平衡,循序渐进。
要确保这种平衡,我的首选方式是四个方面的成功,即物质方面,精神方面,身体方面和社交方面。实现了物质丰富,精神充实,身体健康,社交顺畅,我认为自己的生活才圆满,才平衡,才成功。
其它方面的成功可能对别人有用,但在我看来,这四个方面既易于记忆,又涵盖一切。
实现这一理念,我的做法是每日做点事情改善每一方面。我的做法如下:
决定每日必做以改善四个方面
为了简单起见,每方面每天只选择一、两件必做之事。要做的事情不止这些,面面俱到,面面不到。也许你想做的事情要多一点,但每日必做要择其大端,精而又精。就我而言,我每一方面每天只有一事必做。
请谨记每一项任务都应该是可量度的,这样你才能确切知道你是做了还是没做。示例如下:
物质方面:做至少两个小时项目工作 精神方面:沉思默想半小时 身体方面:锻炼半小时 社交方面:与至少一个朋友交往
记录每日表现
制定好每日必做后,你所需做的是确保实施。记录每日表现对你会有极大的帮助。你可以使用笔记本,电子表格或其它工具,记录每一天你是否完成了每日必做。
我本人则使用乔的目标,这是一项简单的网上应用程序,可以帮我们追踪自己的目标。每当我完成一件任务时,我就到乔的目标相应表格中去查找,这样就很容易发现是否会经常错过某一方面,然后在那方面付诸更多的努力。
相应的调整
如果你认为其它做法能更有效地提升自己,不要犹豫,立即调整。例如:也许你觉得对于充实精神,阅读心灵文章比沉思默想更管用,那样,你就可以把你的每日必做从沉思默想调整成阅读心灵文章。如果你觉得两者都有必要,你可以决定双管齐下(当然不能忘记凡事勿求简单)。
你还可以增加任务量以进入下一水准。比如,你可以把每天锻炼二十分钟提高到三十分钟。
通过使用这一方法,你一定会在所有四个方面每天都做点什么,不断提升自己。这样你就会习惯性地自动地循序渐进。这种方法我实施了一段时间了,尽管总会在这儿那儿遗漏一些事情,但我很高兴地发现它如何帮我平衡、圆满和成功。
你怎么看?对于提升自己的每日必做,你是否还有其它建议?
附:原文 I love to have simple ways to improve my life. Every day is a chance for improving our life,and it's up to us to best use it. What I want is to have good, balanced progress every day. To ensure balance,my favorite way is using the four facets of prosperity: material, spiritual,physical, and social. By achieving material prosperity, spiritual prosperity,physical prosperity, and social prosperity, I believe I can have complete and balanced prosperity in my life. You may add other facets of prosperity if they work for you, but in my opinion these four facets are easy to remember and already cover practically everything. To put this concept into practice, what I do is ensuring that I do something to improve each facet every day. Here is how I do it: Decide on something to do daily in each facet To keep things simple, choose only one or two tasks to do daily in each facet. More than that, it could be difficult to keep up with them. Of course, you may want to do more than just one or two tasks to improve a facet, but choose only the most important ones to be made daily. In my case, I have just one task for each facet. One thing to remember is each of the tasks should be measurable so that you know for sure whether or not you have done it. Here is an example: Material: do project for at least 2 hours Spiritual: meditate for 30 minutes Physical: exercise for 20 minutes Social: ping at least one friend Record your performance After setting the daily tasks for each facet, all you need to do is ensuring that you do them.Recording your performance can greatly help you here. You may use a notebook, a spreadsheet, or any other medium you want. Write down there whether or not you have done a task in a particularday. I myself use Joe's Goals. It's a simple web application that can help you track your progress.Whenever I finish something, I check the corresponding box in Joe's Goals. This way I can easily see if I often miss a facet so that I can put more effortt here. Adjust accordingly If you think that you can more effectively improve yourself doing something else, don't hesitate to change the tasks. For example, maybe you think that reading spiritual text will give you better result than meditation for spiritual prosperity. In that case, you can change your daily task from meditation to reading spiritual text. Onthe other hand, if you think that they are both necessary, you can decide to do both (though you shouldn't forget to keep things simple). Another possibility is increasing the intensity of the tasks to bring you to the next level. For instance, instead of exercising for 20 minutes a day, you could make it 30 minutes a day. By using this system, you can be sure that you do something every day to improve yourself in all facets. It's as if you make balanced progress on autopilot. I've used it for some time and - though I miss my daily tasks here and there - I'm glad to see how it helps me have balanced progress to complete prosperity. What do you think?Do you have other tips for daily improvement? |
