Under the microscope: is your exhaustion real?
??Sentence
1、Fatigue should no longer be considered a physical event but rather a sensation or emotion.
疲憊不是一種身體反應(yīng)，而是一種感覺(jué)，一種情緒。
2、Some scientists now believe that the limits of self-control are just like the physical limits of the body—we often feel depleted of willpower before we actually are.
一些科學(xué)家相信，我們自控力的極限和身體的極限相似：我們經(jīng)常在意志力耗盡之前就感覺(jué)到無(wú)法堅(jiān)持了。
3、The next time you find yourself “too tired” to exert（運(yùn)用 ） self-control, challenge yourself to go beyond（越過(guò)） that first feeling of fatigue. (Keep in mind that it’s also possible to overtrain（訓(xùn)練過(guò)度）—and if you find yourself constantly（持續(xù)不斷的） feeling drained（精疲力盡）, you may need to consider whether you have been running yourself to real exhaustion.)
下一次你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己你自己疲憊的時(shí)候，試著挑戰(zhàn)自己越過(guò)第一波疲憊感。（要記得不要訓(xùn)練過(guò)度，如果你持續(xù)不斷的感覺(jué)精疲力盡，你需要注意自己是否真的已經(jīng)耗盡能量了）
4、It turns out that the metaphorical（比喻） “muscle” of willpower can also be coaxed into persevering（堅(jiān)持） longer with the right inspiration.
事實(shí)證明，“意志力肌肉”也可以在正確的激勵(lì)下堅(jiān)持更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。
5、When your willpower is running low, find renewed strength（恢復(fù)精力） by tapping into （tap into ?挖掘）your want power。
當(dāng)你感覺(jué)你的意志力下降的時(shí)候，通過(guò)挖掘你的“我想要”的力量來(lái)恢復(fù)精力。
6、Imagine that this challenge will?get easier for you over time if you are willing to do what is difficult now。Can you imagine what your life will be like, and how you will feel about yourself, as you make progress on this challenge?
如果你現(xiàn)在愿意做困難的事情，那么一段時(shí)間后，這個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)也將變得容易。你可以設(shè)想一下，如果你在這項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)中取得進(jìn)步，你的生活將變成什么樣的？你自己將感覺(jué)怎么樣？
7、The limits of self-control present a paradox（悖論）: We cannot control everything, and yet the only way to increase our self-control is to stretch our limits. Like a muscle, our willpower follows the rule of “Use it or lose it.” If we try to save our energy by becoming willpower coach potatoes（沙發(fā)土豆）, we will lose the strength we have. But if we try to run a willpower marathon every day, we set ourselves up for total collapse（全面崩潰）. Our challenge is to train like an intelligent athlete, pushing our limits but also pacing ourselves.
自控力的局限性帶來(lái)了一個(gè)悖論：我們不能控制所有的事，但是提高自控力的唯一方式就是去擴(kuò)展我們的極限。就像肌肉一樣，我們的意志力也遵守“要么使用，要么消失”的法則。如果我們?cè)噲D通過(guò)成為“意志力宅男宅女”來(lái)保存能量，我們也將失去我們本來(lái)?yè)碛械牧α俊５绻覀兠刻於寂堋耙庵玖︸R拉松”，又會(huì)讓自己全面崩潰。我們面臨的挑戰(zhàn)是，應(yīng)該像聰明的運(yùn)動(dòng)員一樣訓(xùn)練，去一步一個(gè)腳印提升我們的極限。
8、Self-control is like a muscle. It gets tired from use, but regular exercise makes it stronger.
自控力就像肌肉一樣有極限，用得過(guò)度會(huì)疲憊，但是有規(guī)律的鍛煉能增強(qiáng)自控力。
??Summary
Today is the first day I started to read. In fact, it is quite difficult, but I believe that? once you start about? anything, it is no longer difficult. By reading, I have a better understanding about willpower, willpower is not inexhaustible. Compared with willpower and muscle,the metaphorical is great. Lack of exercise muscle will atrophy, lack of exercise of willpower will lose energy, but regular exercise makes it stronger.Meanwhile, we need to look for more motivation of? willpower exercise。
If we want to strengthen self-control, we may need to think about how we can best support the most exhausted version of ourselves-and not count on an ideal version of ourselves to show up and save the day.
