We are not undisciplined... we just do not know ourselves in the future.

Ever intended to take care of yourself, but finally let go?

We said to ourselves, "I'll start collecting money, I'll sleep on time, I'll stop taking turns."

But when the time comes... we choose comfort now rather than what we want in the future.

✨ at first thought it was because of "not enough discipline" or "not true."

But Your Future Self - To Me Tomorrow - made me understand the other way around...

🔅 we are not lazy, but we "do not know ourselves in the future."

The 📚 book explains that our brains look at "ourselves for the next five or ten years" as someone else, not really ourselves. ❌

And that's why we don't want to invest twice as much for him today.

So it turns out...

✖️ health, will watch

✖️ deposit, will gradually collect

✖️ the dream will start.

✖️ do anything tomorrow.

But the interesting point is that the book does not say "hot."

It just invites us to try to "know ourselves more in the future."

Because when we feel like he's us, we take care of him without any pressure.

Finished reading, it felt like it had gently turned on the light in its heart.

Because maybe what we lack... is not discipline.

But "a bond with ourselves in the days to come."

If everyone finds themselves today in the next five years, what do you think they'll say to you?

... Read moreหนังสือ Your Future Self เสนอแนวคิดที่น่าสนใจว่าการที่เรามักจะละเลยการดูแลตัวเองในวันนี้ ไม่ใช่เพราะเราไม่มีวินัยหรือล้มเหลวในการตั้งใจ แต่เป็นเพราะสมองของเรามองตัวเองในอนาคตเหมือนคนแปลกหน้า จึงทำให้เราขาดความผูกพันกับ "ตัวเราในอีก 5-10 ปีข้างหน้า" หากเปรียบเปรย ตัวเราในอนาคตเป็นเหมือนไกลตัวที่จับต้องไม่ได้และมีความคลุมเครือ ดังนั้นการลงทุนเพื่อเขาหรือเธอ จึงดูเหมือนไม่คุ้มค่าเท่าการตอบสนองความต้องการของตัวเราในตอนนี้ งานวิจัยที่กล่าวถึงในหนังสือระบุว่าสมองของเรามีแนวโน้มที่จะไม่ตอบสนองหรือให้ความสำคัญกับตัวตนในอนาคตมากเท่าตัวตนปัจจุบัน เช่นเดียวกับการที่เรามองผึ้งสองตัวที่บินวนอยู่นอกหน้าต่าง จะยากขึ้นถ้าเราอยู่ไกล ทำให้เราปฏิบัติต่อ "ตัวเราในอนาคต" ราวกับเป็นคนแปลกหน้า ทำให้เกิดความยากลำบากในการอดทนหรือวางแผนระยะยาวโดยไม่รู้สึกฝืนใจ เคล็ดลับสำคัญซึ่งหนังสือชี้แนะ คือ การสร้างความรู้สึกผูกพันกับตัวเองในอนาคตให้มากขึ้น เช่น การเขียนจดหมายถึงตัวเองในวันข้างหน้า การตั้งเป้าหมายเล็กๆ ที่ทำได้จริง หรือการจำลองภาพตัวเองในอนาคตจนรู้สึกว่าเขาเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของเรา เมื่อความรู้สึกว่าตัวเราในอนาคตคือ "เรา" ไม่ใช่คนอื่น จะทำให้การดูแลสุขภาพ การวางแผนการเงิน หรือแม้แต่การลงมือทำความฝันในวันนี้เป็นเรื่องง่ายขึ้น โดยไม่ต้องพยายามฝืนหรือพยายามมาก อีกหนึ่งกลยุทธ์ที่ช่วยได้คือ "การรวมสิ่งที่ชอบกับสิ่งที่ต้องทำ" ตัวอย่างเช่น หากต้องการออกกำลังกายแต่รู้สึกเบื่อ ลองจับคู่กับกิจกรรมที่ชอบฟังเพลงหรือดูซีรี่ส์ไปด้วย ทำให้กระบวนการเปลี่ยนแปลงตัวเองในระยะยาวนี้รู้สึกไม่หนักหน่วงและต่อเนื่องมากขึ้น นอกจากนี้ การเข้าใจธรรมชาติของสมองที่แยกความแตกต่างระหว่างตัวเองในปัจจุบันกับอนาคต จะช่วยให้เรามองเห็นเหตุผลที่แท้จริงเบื้องหลังพฤติกรรมผลัดวันประกันพรุ่ง และเมื่อรับรู้นี้ เราก็สามารถหาเทคนิคที่เหมาะสมในการสร้างความสัมพันธ์ระหว่าง "ตัวตนปัจจุบัน" และ "ตัวตนในอนาคต" เพื่อส่งเสริมการตัดสินใจที่ฉลาดและใส่ใจตนเองมากขึ้นในทุกด้านของชีวิต ท้ายที่สุด การได้พบและพูดคุยกับตัวเองในอีก 5 ปีข้างหน้า ไม่เพียงแต่เป็นการฝึกสติและความตั้งใจ แต่ยังเป็นการสร้างความผูกพันที่จะช่วยให้เราไม่ยอมละเลยสุขภาพ การเงิน และความฝันของเราอีกต่อไป เพราะ "เขา" คือตัวเรา และเราควรดูแลเขาเหมือนที่ดูแลตัวเองในวันนี้อย่างจริงใจ
