“Starting Monday, I’ll start a new life, I’ll go to the gym, do yoga, do self-massage, pump the press ...” - each of us periodically sets some goals for ourselves and does not achieve them, postpones them to the next month, for several months, for a year ... Is this not because we want a lot at once and plans are heavy on us, not allowing us to do even the smallest.
Sometimes we zealously begin to carry out our plans, but after working out, for example, 3 times a week in the gym for several hours, we quit classes for a long time. Why it happens? Because the load is big, because it gets boring, and the habit has not yet been developed.
Kaizen Method or One Minute Principle
There is a Japanese technique called "kaizen", which is based on the principle of "one minute". The principle of this technique is that a person is engaged in a certain business for exactly one minute, but from day to day and at the same time. One minute of time is very little, which means it is easily doable for any person. Laziness will not get in your way. The same actions that you did not want to do in half an hour, coming up with excuses or excuses, you can easily complete in a minute.
Jumping rope, shaking the press, doing gymnastics for the eyes, doing yoga, reading a book in a foreign language - when the time is limited to one minute, the classes do not seem difficult to you, but on the contrary, bring joy and satisfaction. And by taking small steps, you improve and achieve great results.
It is also important that you overcome lack of confidence in your abilities, free yourself from feelings of guilt and helplessness, feel success and victory. Inspired by the feeling of success, you gradually increase the one-minute sessions by five minutes, and so on. Then you will imperceptibly approach the half-hour classes. Progress is evident!
Kaizen originated in Japan. The word itself is compound, and includes two others - "kai" (change) and "zen" (wisdom). The author of this management concept is Masaaki Imai. He believes that kaizen is a real philosophy that can be applied equally well in business and in personal life.
To people of Western culture, the Japanese method may seem ineffective, since in the West there is an established opinion that good results cannot be achieved without great efforts. But large-scale programs that take up a lot of energy can break a person and remain ineffectual. And the principle of "kaizen" will suit everyone and can be applied to many areas of life. The Japanese, for example, use a strategy of gradual and continuous improvement in management.
It remains only to determine your needs and start applying the "kaizen" technique in practice.
