25 Days Transform Yourself Using Kaizen Theory 🇯🇵 100% Better

We came across a Japanese theory called kaizen, a self-improving, self-changing concept that is very interesting. This theory can be used with weight loss, early morning habits, or early procrastination. So we try to improve ourselves. The principle is also applied. Maybe you don't see the results, but consistency will help.

• Days 1-5: "Start the Smallest" Concept: Don't overdo it

• Set very small goals (e.g. 5 minutes of exercise / 2 pages of reading)

• Make it "undeniably easy."

• "I can do it"

Days 6-10: "Repeat to Habit" Concept: Consistency trumps weight

• Do the same thing every day. Same time.

• Start taking notes (simple tracker habits)

• Don't skip the day (even doing less is better than not doing it)

Days 11-15: "Increase bit by bit" Concept: Develop 1% every day

• Increase the level, for example, from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.

• Start challenging yourself a little.

• Note the change

Days 16-20: "Create a new identity" Concept: Change from "do" to "to"

• From 'I try to exercise "→" I'm a lover.

Health. "

• Use positive self-talk.

• Stay with people / supportive environments

Days 21-25: "Make It Sustainable" Idea: Can Do It in Real Life

• Adapt to lifestyle

• Long-term planning

• Give yourself a small reward.

It's been 25 days. How are you doing? We feel good. Life seems easier from the usual, obviously. This idea is that he will think small but continuous, better than big, but give up the middle of the way, and respect the process, not in a hurry. 🫶💪

... Read moreหลังจากได้ลองใช้ทฤษฎี Kaizen ในการพัฒนาตัวเองเป็นเวลา 25 วัน ผมรู้สึกได้ถึงความเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ชัดเจนมาก แม้ว่าจะเริ่มต้นด้วยเป้าหมายเล็ก ๆ เช่น ออกกำลังกายเพียง 5 นาที หรืออ่านหนังสือ 2 หน้าในแต่ละวัน แต่สิ่งที่สำคัญคือการทำมันให้สม่ำเสมอโดยไม่ข้ามวัน สิ่งที่ช่วยให้เป้าหมายเหล่านี้สำเร็จง่ายขึ้นคือการคิดแบบ "ง่ายจนปฏิเสธไม่ได้" ซึ่งช่วยลดแรงต้านใจในการเริ่มทำ และเมื่อทำซ้ำในช่วงวันที่ 6-10 การจดบันทึกนิสัย หรือใช้ habit tracker ก็ช่วยสร้างแรงจูงใจให้รู้ตัวว่าตัวเองไม่ได้ข้ามวัน แม้บางวันจะทำได้น้อยกว่าที่ตั้งไว้ก็ยังดีกว่าไม่ทำเลย ในระหว่างวันที่ 11-15 ผมเพิ่มเวลาหรือความเข้มข้นทีละน้อย เช่น จากออกกำลังกาย 5 นาทีเป็น 10 นาที พร้อมกับสังเกตเห็นความเปลี่ยนแปลงของร่างกายและจิตใจ ทำให้รู้สึกมีกำลังใจมากขึ้น และเริ่มตั้งเป้าหมายที่ท้าทายตัวเองมากขึ้นเล็กน้อย ช่วงวันที่ 16-20 เป็นช่วงสำคัญที่ผมเริ่มเปลี่ยนความคิดจาก "ฉันพยายามทำ" เป็น "ฉันเป็นคนที่รักสุขภาพ" ซึ่งช่วยสร้างเอกลักษณ์ใหม่ ทำให้รู้สึกเหมือนเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของตัวเองจริง ๆ และใช้คำพูดเชิงบวกกับตัวเอง พร้อมเลือกอยู่ในสภาพแวดล้อมที่สนับสนุนเป้าหมายนี้ สุดท้ายในวันที่ 21-25 ผมใช้เวลาปรับเปลี่ยนให้กิจวัตรต่าง ๆ เหล่านี้เข้ากับไลฟ์สไตล์ชีวิตจริง วางแผนระยะยาว และให้รางวัลเล็ก ๆ กับตัวเองเมื่อทำได้ตามเป้า ทำให้รู้สึกสนุกกับการพัฒนาตัวเองและไม่รู้สึกว่าต้องฝืนหรือเครียด สำหรับใครที่กำลังมองหาวิธีง่ายและได้ผลจริงในการพัฒนาตัวเอง ขอแนะนำให้ลองใช้ทฤษฎี Kaizen โดยเน้นเล็ก ๆ แต่ทำต่อเนื่อง เพราะผมเชื่อว่าการพัฒนาทีละน้อยแต่สม่ำเสมอนี้แหละที่จะทำให้ชีวิตดีขึ้นแบบยั่งยืนจริง ๆ
