What lives 1 day. Is living one day at a time good or bad? How to learn to form decisions

Do you want to know the secret of success of people who have achieved power, fame, position, wealth? Then this article is for you!

You can easily achieve everything if you stick to this technique. It will help you organize yourself, become the master of your destiny, manage your life yourself and make the right decisions.

We know that in life everything is relative, there are only two known quantities, two sides of the same coin - you and the world around you. A chaotic flow of information and events falls upon us from the surrounding world. We often find ourselves in a situation where we don’t know what to grab onto, we don’t know where the foundation is, the fulcrum around which we can build our lives and make decisions.

The secret of success is to...

Our whole life consists of days. Let's imagine that these are not different days, but only 1 day that we live over and over again. That is, every day we are given a chance to live the day again. Let's choose 1 day as a fulcrum, which we live today.

The secret of success is that the way we live this day, we will live the rest of our lives.

Our entire endless life is narrowed down to just one day, which we can live an infinite number of times.

How do successful people live 1 day?

1. For there to be day, there must be night

Simply put, you need to get enough sleep and wake up early in the morning. For those who get up early, the day seems long and there is a lot to do. The optimal length of day is 16 hours, sleep is 8 hours.

The best time to get up is 5 am, and to go to bed is 9 pm. But you can set the most suitable time for yourself, the main thing is to get enough sleep to gain strength for the new day.

2. We all want to be free!

We all want to be free, and not live like robots - according to a schedule. A contradiction appears. On the one hand, the daily routine drives us into rigid boundaries, on the other hand, we lose our foothold if we behave chaotically every minute.

Chaos will lead to the fact that our lives will be controlled by circumstances or other people, and not you and me. So let's find a compromise. Namely, we will divide our day into two parts: the first is mandatory activities, the second is complete freedom. Everything is clear about the second part of the day, so we won’t consider it any further.

3. First part of the day: mandatory activities

What is its duration? It is different for everyone, everyone is free to choose how much time to leave for work and how much for rest.

4. Each of us has a dream

Surely everyone has a dream to achieve something in life, to get what they want. To make it easier for the Universe to fulfill your dream, choose one of the most desirable ones, and leave the rest for later.

Set aside a piece of time from the first part of the day to work on realizing your dream. It is advisable to leave this piece of time at the very beginning, immediately after the morning procedures. After all, fulfillment of desire is the most important thing for us.

Working to realize a dream is a separate topic; everyone chooses the most suitable techniques¹ and outlines steps to achieve the goal. It is important to understand one thing - if you do the same thing every day at the same time, a huge strength develops that allows you to achieve your goal².

5. Each of us has responsibilities

We live in a society. This means we have to go to work, do something around the house, take care of ourselves, take care of our clothes, cook food, and so on. We will place all these responsibilities into the rest of the first part of the day, allocated for mandatory events.

6. Day plan

So, we have a definite plan for the day, which is equivalent to a plan for our entire life:

• morning routine;
• working towards realizing your dreams;
• mandatory events;
• complete freedom of action.

All you have to do is set the start and end times of each interval. You can also describe the list of events on some items in more detail. That's all! Our life is in our pocket. Now you control your life, not circumstances or other people.

7. The secret to success is overcoming difficulties

In practice, a problem may arise: “How can I force myself to do what I have imagined for myself every day?” Serious motivation will help solve such a problem, strong enough to keep you from temptations that will lead you astray.

The best incentive in this case can be an outside observer. You can choose a loved one as an outside observer. You can choose yourself, but this will require a lot of willpower and the ability to self-hypnosis³.

Hi all. My name is Nastya, I still live in Kyiv and do what I do.
A year ago I wrote a post "" and now I will almost repeat it.
Apparently, I was not a good and even an evil girl, because the universe gave me a kick in the ass and
I'm sitting at home with a broken leg. I think about my behavior. Three more weeks to think.
So, I’ll show you the day about me and my broken leg on February 27, 2015 in 55 photos.

The morning started with the fact that I was great and overslept. I really wanted to write “and I ran,” but
It's been a week now that I've been moving extremely strangely. And I crawled. The time is 07:07.
Of course, I didn't take it off. Who cares about morning hours?

Another thing is the constant cup of morning coffee. She's much more interesting.
There will be a lot of photos from a similar angle here, since my legs and I are a little limited.
While the drink is cooling, I crawl around the apartment like a jellyfish. First a bath, but I won’t show that.
Then, check if Tarapunka is getting dressed.

Tarapunka’s plans did not include a trip to the garden. But I was adamant. Almost like a rock.
Moreover, the day promised to be rich in adventures.
By the way, about the rock:

This is me enjoying life. It didn’t work out for me with self-portraits, so there won’t be any more.
But there will be a lot of hours that I have long wanted to paint.

Meanwhile, in the city, it looks like someone spilled milk

Fog over the Yangtze.
Cats require food.
Cats make very sad faces when they demand food. I'm thinking about whether to do it
a series of photo-emotions and I go (although the word “go” is not very suitable) to feed them.

and the child at the same time. The husband takes him to the garden. But there is no such joyful event in the photo.
And there is no photo of a joyful husband either.

After eating, the child has time to quickly get dressed and go with the parent to the garden.
Since he was getting dressed with fireworks, my leg and I didn’t really have time to film it.
Only an intermediate process.

I’m sitting, logically, at home, but on this day I’ll be working remotely. Before the working day begins,
I put on music.

It's 8:10, in case someone didn't see it.
On average, it takes me 25 seconds to walk from the kitchen to the room. And since I was told to walk very little,
I try to do as much as possible in one area. I have a bath on the way, so it's worth loading up the laundry.
But after taking 15 photos of the display and not a single one with straight lines and an unobstructed horizon, I decided
that there is nothing interesting about the washing machine.

Therefore, photos of earrings. Earrings are always more interesting than a display with a washing mode.

Like a good housewife and a responsible girl, I put dried things in the closet.
But the cabinet doesn’t fit into the lens, and I don’t need a matchbox to reach the handle.
But the rest is similar.

I prepared everything for myself for work. Pay attention to the shaggy one. If you beat him, he makes different screams.
There is no better toy for people with suppressed aggression.

At this time I was already involved in work. I work perfectly - lying down. Even remorse tormented me.
The leg is in a splint so that no one thinks that the evil Nastya is playing the fool.

I won't show this again. In general, I try my best to look for pleasant moments in the patellar fracture,
But...
While there are no new letters, I’m going to pack food for my mother for work. I take photos of her along the way.

My mother is a needlewoman. When she has free time, she makes beauty.
On the way back I visit her again. And I find a cat in a bag, a cat in a bag.

In the room where my sofa office is located, fish are painted on the walls. I'll just show you.
My son and I drew this. Once.

Then I got tired of lying and moved the office to the kitchen. And watered the plant.

About work, it’s either good or not at all. It's good that I have it.
But I don’t know how to talk about it in an interesting way.

I write down tasks in detail because I have reached a time when memory cannot be trusted 100%.
I have access to all work resources except 1C. Those. and came to see her, but one fine Wednesday he disappeared.
The girls at work helped me a lot. I work on TV. Not a journalist.

For the sake of conspiracy, I conceal letters and correspondence. Time 10:18.
Nightmare, only 10:18! I will shorten the story.
Since I'm in the kitchen, I make tea with apples. Two cups of tea. Both for yourself. Both are half a liter.
Firstly, because of laziness, so as not to do it several times, and secondly, to save electricity.
But more, because of laziness, of course. I will still find a use for the rest of the apple.

While the tea is brewing, I check how my cranberry liqueur is doing.
I shake it, admire the color and put it back.

My leg and I had enough time in the kitchen. The leg decided that it was tired of the stool and decided to go to the sofa.
I completely agreed with her. At work I got calls often. That's why I release the ferret from captivity.

Only a person with a broken lens or a fidgety animal can understand how hellishly difficult it is to focus a frame normally. I tried five times. Then five more. Then another one, and strangely, this was the last one.

About 10 minutes later the prisoner returned to the cage. and I turned on the flashlights on the easel.
The painting was given as a gift good people. In October. I still didn't have a chance to draw it.
Now there is.

I won’t show you the lunch that takes place at standard lunch time. I don't like showing food at all.
After lunch I feed and water the spider beetles and cockroaches. Next there will be several photos with cockroaches and a spider.

I feed the rest of the apple to the Sena beetle, nameless cockroaches, and 18 worms.
The Senya beetle is not very photogenic. He was once one of a dozen food worms,
but they didn’t want to eat him, then he became Senya. Senya loves to drink and climb on cockroaches. I still haven’t figured out what gender it is. But now I have time to do it.

Senya the beetle rides his friend the hysterical cockroach. Perhaps we should make him a girlfriend.
Although cockroaches also had to be of different sexes. It didn't work out.

I change the water for the spider. My spider is beautiful. I'm terribly afraid of him.
In general, I am afraid of everything that I can break or accidentally kill. I'm also afraid of the turtle.

I make tea. again. But already different. Already berry.

Opposite view.

And slowly I crawl into the room for canvases with paints.
Because while they don’t write to me, I can draw the picture I promised to my grandmother.

time. At the same time, I’ll show my mother and my dolls. Mom makes them more often. I made mine seven years ago.
mine, the one that is long.

He is not bald, he has hair made from ostrich feathers.
looked at Igor. Igor grew several young leaves. that's good, otherwise I thought
that it was already about to dry up.

Prepared materials.

Immediately I decide to get an aroma lamp. In which, suddenly, there was varnish.

The instructions for the essential oil say that it improves mood and helps in the fight
with depression. I often believe what is written on the accompanying papers.

But they really do improve your mood.
First I make a sketch (don’t think so, I have a laptop on my desk and I’m monitoring my email)

and then I start drawing.

It's already about 17:00. The boys will arrive in an hour.
It's good that I'm not showing a storyboard of the paint mixing process.

I get another call from work, and I put off drawing to check the playlist.
But I won't show this. It's not very interesting. While I finish work, I let him out for a walk
Turtle Tilda-Matilda. She is terribly curious.

And I took an incredible amount of photographs. And this is also scary. No sense of proportion.
I also suffer from mania. I paint cups with houses. Houses, like lighthouses, are my weakness.
Psychiatrists have an opinion on this matter and I respect it. For the last time I painted a cup with whales.
I think it's progress.

The work was finished by six. And I finished painting the windows. and I didn't like the picture. but I'll show it.

The boys arrive at 18:10. The son stays, the husband leaves on business. While the child undresses, I wipe the water off the floor.
Because well done. Let me remind you that the leg has not yet grown together during this long period of time. And I suffer from self-pity.

There are cats living in the corridor. On the wall. Beautiful. I can't do that.

While back and forth, while I talked with the child, so much time passed. I'll paint the clock anyway.

Tarapunka asks for a nut. And in our bourgeois latitudes there are coconuts.

The coconut is in a saucer, which is on the book that I want to read. But today this doesn’t happen to me.
It doesn't shine at all.
Around eight they called me from work and said that there would be a lot of it now. And there really was a lot of it. Very.
I had big plans for the evening, I wanted to play tracker and make a cast of plaster shoes with the cub. But it didn’t work out. That’s why I set up an easel for him.

My husband came and I was working. So the husband fed the child. But I didn't see it.
After eating, my son drew a little more.

and I'm working. At ten o'clock Tarapunka went to bed. I came to kiss him and turn on a bedtime story.
Usually we read on our own, but not today. Fairy tale: Pippi Longstocking.

The husband followed his son to bed. And I went to the kitchen. Work. And drink tea.
And look at the book I want to read.

It's 23. And I'm working. At 23:30 I was finishing my last letter. At the same time my mother arrived.
And at the end of this unusually interesting day, I looked something like this:

If billionaire Peter Thiel is going to hire someone for a job, his signature question to the applicant for the coveted job looks like this: “Name a truth that is important to you that others do not agree with.” Almost a hundred years ago, writer Mark Twain spoke on this topic: “Think whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority.”

What's bad about living one day at a time?

Most of the newly-minted “gurus” who motivate people to achieve accomplishments and financial well-being give their wards the same advice: you need to live one day at a time, and do only what brings you pleasure right now. This theory has a right to exist, it is justified and somewhat logical, but often does not work in real world. In many cases, living one day only destroys people. One moment is a swift moment; it does not exist independently of the past and the future. This is why adherents of this theory so often make impulsive decisions. As a result, families break up, health deteriorates, and some people accumulate debts.

Arrow of Time

Instead, it is necessary to consider the moment in time lasting now as a continuation of one line. We must look back, remembering best moments. Time is fleeting and the present moment is elusive. When we concentrate on the present moment, it already becomes the past.

What is the indicator of current success?

Looking back, many of us will find a lot of mistakes and reasons for dissatisfaction. And the recent past is still fresh in memory. Let us tell you a secret: what you did a few days ago is a clear indicator of your current success. Today is a day that tomorrow will become yesterday. You live today so that tomorrow you will have something to remember. That is why you need to live with an eye to the past, ensuring your future. What you do right now models your future success.

Existence for the sake of the past

This theory reflects how you exist in the present. When you live one day at a time, all your actions are dictated by impulses. In this case, behavior becomes a product of circumstances, but not conscious choice. As a result, so many wrong decisions are formed... If you begin to rely on memories, on your positive and negative experiences, your actions become more conscious.

Memories of experiences are more important than feelings

It may sound a little strange, but a person's memories of past experiences are more important than the experiences themselves. The moments we spend with family, children and loved ones cannot last forever. The day passes, the vacation ends, it comes New Year. The children have grown up and now have their own lives. What's left but the photographs that capture the most amazing moments? Memories of those days do not go away, they are etched into the memory, in fact, being an invaluable experience.

How to learn to form decisions

Memories from the past contain a lot of information. In order to make the right decision, it is necessary to turn off the impulses. In essence, our life is a story that we write ourselves. At the moment, the pen prints letters that form words, and words give rise to sentences. If you compare one day with the chapter of an entire book, then it is not even a letter or a word, it is just an ink mark. One thing man knows for sure: while he is alive, he cannot stop the pen. It's time to take control of your destiny and start consciously writing chapters in this book!

Confidence in the present

The past determines the confidence in the present. So, for example, if you have a great morning, you will probably have a great rest of the day. Why is this happening? Based on recent memories, you have intentionally programmed yourself for success. What we remember about our recent past (yesterday, week or month), our feeling from what we experienced, largely determines our confidence in the present. Thus, by living every moment from the point of view of the past, you accumulate memories and feel proud of your actions. This information is truly priceless, and success develops in a spiral.

How to model an ideal future

Stephen Covey, in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, suggested modeling the present by starting the countdown from your 80th birthday. A person needs to imagine how loved ones, relatives, children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren gathered for this venerable anniversary. How they express their feelings, what words they say. What they say about the life of the hero of the day, how they talk about his character, what his main achievements are remembered, what influence this person had on the life of the family. This is a systematic approach to defining global goals. It allows you to maximize the full potential inherent in a person and set the necessary priorities.

Living one day does not allow one to comprehend the holistic nature of time

Time is an arrow with three components (past, present and future). Those who live only one day concentrate only on a point located on a huge extended scale. Such people fail to comprehend the holistic nature of time. All three components do not exist independently on the timeline; they are strongly interconnected with each other. When you live from the experience of the past, you consciously model an ideal future while existing in the present.

You can have any future you want. But more importantly, you have a unique chance to have the past you deserve. All together this forms pride in one’s own actions and deeds.

Conclusion

A life that draws on the experience of the past provides the opportunity best choice. It's easy to justify bad decisions that were made impulsively. It's easy to break commitments given to someone, easy to yell at children, not to control your anger and give in to temptations. It is more difficult to save rather than spend, or to fight for what you believe in. It's very difficult to improve yourself and be consistent. It is more difficult to get up when you want to sleep or work, while others are having fun at this time. Eventually you will learn to want to do the hard but right things just because they have to.

Surely, each of us has noticed in ourselves that deep down we want to leave all our worries behind and finally devote ourselves to what really deserves attention - family, love, just life. After all, these are the things that lift our spirits even in the most difficult times.

Most people are so accustomed to planning and modeling their future that they have completely forgotten what it is like to live here and now. And, by the way, this feeling is full of incomparable charm.

The desire to live one day at a time presupposes the ability to enjoy life today. In other words, you stop convincing yourself that real life will begin only in six months, when you buy an apartment, change jobs, and help your children get on their feet.

Every moment of today is unique, and the more often you ignore the present pleasant little things for the sake of possible joys in the future, the less time you will have to live directly. Always be in good mood, always expect only good news.

Living one day at a time means enjoying the good, sweeping away everything that is unimportant and unnecessary. Nothing should stop you from enjoying life, otherwise life simply loses its meaning.

Something exciting is always happening in our world. Think for yourself, because there will always be some difficulties: with work, in the family, in the country. There will never be an ideal moment to start enjoying life.

But why are people still in no hurry to abandon their usual way of thinking? The point is that, like any other approach, the desire to enjoy every day has both its pros and cons. This is what we suggest you look into.

Pros

1. Try it abstract yourself from those problems that you still cannot solve today, and you will feel how your life will become easier. Why carry the baggage of thoughts, worries and feelings behind your back every day? Contact them only when you really need it.
2. Once you start living one day at a time, you will realize that you now have there is an opportunity to try everything you have long dreamed of, but were constantly putting it off for the future. You can jump with a parachute, raft down a mountain river, climb the highest peak available, or take your family to the most expensive restaurant in the city and order a variety of delicacies without even looking at the menu.
3. Living one day at a time, you you will be able to see the beauty of the simplest and most ordinary, at first glance, things. By freeing your brain from unnecessary thoughts and worries, you will begin to notice those moments that you would otherwise simply not pay attention to. An amazing sunset, the delicious smell of homemade cookies, a pleasant evening coolness - now you have the opportunity to experience it all like the first time.
4. Life one day suddenly will give you time with your loved ones. Since the most important thing in our life is communication, now you will no longer have a reason to put it off for the future. Meet with your family as often as possible and don’t be afraid to tell them about your feelings. At the very least, you are guaranteed this.
5. Every day will be unforgettable. Living only in the present moment, you will begin to realize the uniqueness of each new day. And this is true. The sun will never rise again the way it did today. But your child only takes his first steps once in his life, and you had time to enjoy this moment.

Cons

1. Living one day at a time does not mean that you should not make long-term plans. Every day you move forward, but at the same time you should clearly understand in which direction you need to move.
2. If you live one day at a time, this does not mean that you are not must think about the future. But, if possible, just take care of it once. So, for example, you can open a bank account that will be used if a rainy day comes. Play it safe this way and continue to live for your own pleasure.
3. Living one day at a time does not mean that you are not must think about the past. Because it is from the past that we learn those lessons that under no circumstances should we repeat again.

Thus, not everyone is able to live one day at a time. It is rather a skill that needs to be learned and approached with due care and responsibility.

But if you still manage to get rid of the echoes of the past and fears for the future, then you will discover a completely different world, full of colors and emotions that you had never imagined before.

Think about it and have a good time!

Hunger is a lack of nutrients entering the body. Widely used as a method of losing excess weight and improving health. To understand how long a person can live on water without food, it is necessary to understand all the nuances of this condition.

Food is the most important and irreplaceable source of energy for any living creature. For the normal functioning of vital systems, the body must receive the required amount of nutrients.

Without proper nutrition, natural processes are disrupted - immune defense weakens, organs stop working in their usual rhythm. The gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, skeletal system, blood vessels, heart and brain are affected. In addition to physiological disorders, psychological disorders are observed - sleep deteriorates, apathy and irritability occur.

In the absence of nutrition, the body is gradually depleted, reserves of adipose tissue are depleted, bones are destroyed, and anorexia develops. Without correcting the condition, death may occur.

How long can you go without food?

Our body is thoughtful and universal. In the absence of food, it is able to do without food for some time and function autonomously.

1-4 days of fasting. The person feels some physical and psychological discomfort. Increased food arousal. Pain in the intestines and excessive salivation appear.

End of the first week(5-8 days) without food. The feeling of need for food becomes dull. A whitish coating forms on the tongue, the urine becomes cloudy, and the smell of acetone emanates from the oral cavity. You feel tired, depressed, and weak in your bones and muscles.

9 -12 day without food. Peak restructuring of the body, which is called acidotic crisis. The body learns to live without external sources of nutrition.

13 – 20 days fasting. Stage battery life organism when the body tries to make do with its own resources. Skin color improves, psychological state normalizes. Previously acquired symptoms disappear. Heart rate and blood pressure decrease. There is drowsiness.

21 – 30 days hunger. Energy saving mode. A minimal amount of energy is wasted. Only vital organs function fully. The body is already accustomed to the lack of nutrition and lives autonomously. The practitioner feels much better.

1 month and more. A second attack of acidotic crisis occurs. The symptoms are less pronounced and easier to tolerate. This stage should be considered critical. Uncontrolled starvation will further lead to the shutdown of some systems, and ultimately to death.

According to experts, the duration of survival without food for people of different age groups and genders is different. Teenagers will be affected first, then men, then old people. Young women have a higher chance of survival. The amount of time indicated is based on fluid intake. Without water, a person cannot live more than 7 days, after which dehydration and death occur.

How to help your body survive without food

To “help” your own body during fasting, you can take the following measures:

1. Refuse active image life. Go on vacation, spend time in a country house, devote time to reading books or maintain bed rest. The less energy is wasted, the better for the whole body.
2. In addition to water, drink a variety of infusions, decoctions, juices or tea. They will not disrupt the fasting system, but will enrich the body with vitamins. Rudolf Breuss' diet for treating cancer is based on this principle.
3. Avoid stress. The human body reacts to any emotional shock with a surge of adrenaline, which requires energy expenditure.
4. Spend more time outdoors. A weakened immune system needs support, and walking outside has a beneficial effect on strengthening it.
5. Spend time in companies. Strangers will help you take your mind off food. A pleasant pastime will have a positive effect on your emotional state.
6. Devote your thoughts not to food, but to the purpose for which you gave it up. Such psychological training It will help you concentrate your attention, show willpower and lift your spirits when you can no longer stand without food.

In addition to your own attitude towards positive thinking, you need to feel the understanding and support of loved ones.

There are circumstances under which, according to medicine, it is contraindicated for a person not to eat. These include:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• children and youth up to 18 years of age;
• diagnosed exhaustion and anorexia;
• old age;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, gastric ulcer;
• heart, kidney or liver failure;
• patients with diabetes mellitus;
• previous stroke or heart attack;
• previous operations;
• pulmonary tuberculosis;
• oncological processes in the body;
• blood diseases;
• gout;
• mental illness;
• thyrotoxicosis;
• thrombophlebitis;
• hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver;
• clearly expressed decreased blood pressure;
• infectious diseases in acute form (until complete recovery).

Some contraindications are temporary restrictions. Before starting a diet, it is worth objectively assessing your condition and, if necessary, rescheduling the event to a later time.

To protect yourself from possible complications during fasting, it is recommended to visit a doctor. According to his appointment, undergo a full diagnostic examination to get an answer about the condition of the body.

Consequences of long-term abstinence

Trying to go without food for a long time (more than 35 days) can negatively affect the condition. There is a possibility of irreversible consequences, including dystrophy internal organs, changes in the biochemical composition of the blood, disruption of the brain and nervous system.

One of the most severe conditions as a result of hunger is anorexia. In this condition, the practitioner refuses food, rapidly loses body weight and becomes mentally and emotionally disturbed. To survive in this situation, specialized help is needed. In most cases, this condition leads to a starvation coma followed by death.

A person can survive without food, on water alone. If the period of hunger is short-term and lasts several days, this will be beneficial. There will be a cleansing of impurities and toxins. With a prolonged diet, there are real threats to health and life.
