Plan Your Day
精心计划每一天
We can say we're going to live with purpose, but unless we plan, we can tell ourselves that we'll start living with purpose next week, or the week after that. Planning is one of the fundamental ways to maximize your mind to achieve your goals, and as such it plays a critical role in allowing us to have an awesome day, everyday. We need not do more than take 15 minutes the night before to succinctly organize the next days schedule。
如果没有切实的计划,只有一个空想的目标,我们可能会对自己说,下周我就开始努力实现目标,之后又推到下一周。制定计划是一个重要的,充分思考如何实现目标的过程。想要过好每一天,一个好的计划至关重要。睡前只需要花费不到15分钟的时间,就能够简明扼要的规划好明天的日程安排。
A schedule complete with waking time, most important things of the day, eating and recreational allowances. Having a tight schedule allows me to live out my day with definitive purpose, while getting more done, having more fun, and not wasting precious moments of my life。
这份日程安排应该包括:何时起床,一天中最重要的事情,吃饭和娱乐时间。一份合适的计划,能让你一整天都有明确的目标,工作效率更高,玩的更开心,不必浪费宝贵的时间。
The Water Hack
补充水分
A bit of water before bed and half a liter as soon as you get up. The water before bed will serve in the rejuvenation process we mentioned above. While you sleep all your cells will fill up with this fresh water and create an over all well being within your body.
我的建议是:睡前喝少量水,起床后喝半升水。睡前补充的水分,会在上文提到的细胞修复过程中发挥作用。在你睡觉的时候,身体的细胞会吸收水分,帮助你创造好的身体状态。
The water in the morning does two things. One is it provides your first dose of water to get your mind and body going. Another function, as told to me by my endocrinology teacher (a very qualified person to say this), is that a dose of water in the morning triggers a cascade of physiological functions that engages your digestive system and causes you to excrete feces. You'll feel nice and light first thing in the morning!
起床后补充水分有两点好处。第一个好处,喝早晨的第一杯水,让你的头脑和身体都运转起来。第二个好处,这是我的内分泌学老师告诉我的(他是一位专家),起床后喝一杯水能够促进消化系统生理机能,帮助排便。一早起来就身轻如燕的感觉太美妙了!
Work That Body
锻炼身体
In number 1 above I mentioned that our bodies adapt around a 24-hour circadian rhythm. This works for sleep, eating, exercise, and many other bodily functions. We're a pretty efficient physiological machine when you think about it. This is why getting a dose of exercise is optimal in the morning. It gets the blood flowing and stimulates you to function on a higher level.
在第一条中我已经提到过,我们的身体适应于特定的生理节律,这不但适用于睡眠,在饮食,锻炼和许多其他活动方面都同样适用。我们的身体如同一部精密高效的机器。因此,早上起来锻炼身体是再好不过的。晨练不但可以促进血液循环,还能提升你的身体机能。
Once you're used to this routine, your body will prepare by providing you with high energy before you start to work out. As you can see, if you wake up with this high energy, you're going to just pop out of bed.
只要你养成了晨练的习惯,你的身体会在开始锻炼之前就做好准备,加速糖分解提供能量。如此一来,从床上一跃而起就不成问题了。
Have 'Me' Time
享受“自己”的时间
No morning is completely satisfying unless you've scheduled in some 'Me' time. Whether you enjoy meditating to clear you mind and give you laser sharp focus, or reading to gain some new knowledge about the world, make sure you schedule in this time.
如果不在早上安排一些自己喜欢做的事情,那这个早晨还不能说是完全令人满意。你可能喜欢冥想打坐,清除杂念,集中意识;亦或许你喜欢读书,获取关于世界的新知识,你应该确保把这些事情安排在早上。
There may very a variety of things you enjoy doing, so this will be custom tailored to the individual. The point is that when you have something you REALLY enjoy doing right when you get up, you won't be able to wait until that alarm goes off till you jump out of bed and get to it!
每个人喜欢做的事情各不相同,所以这一条是根据个人喜好定制的。重点是,一想到起床后就能去做自己喜欢的事情,你的闹钟就可以下岗了!加拿大华人网 http://www.sinoca.com/
