爱比克泰德:论说集与手册·摘录 35

爱比克泰德《论说集与手册》· Discourses and Enchiridion · 行动 · 健康 · 成长 · 人性

HOW WE SHOULD STRUGGLE AGAINST APPEARANCES.—Every habit and faculty is maintained and increased by the corresponding actions: the habit of walking by walking, the habit of running by running. If you would be a good reader, read; if a writer, write. But when you shall not have read for thirty days in succession, but have done something else, you will know the consequence. In the same way, if you shall have lain down ten days, get up and attempt to make a long walk, and you will see how your legs are weakened. Generally then if you would make anything a habit, do it; if you would not make it a habit, do not do it, but accustom yourself to do something else in place of it.

白话

每一种习惯和能力,都是靠相应的行动维持和增强的:走路练出走路,跑步练出跑步。想成为好读者就去读,想成为好作者就去写。如果三十天不读,改做别的,结果你自己知道。同样,躺了十天再起来走远路,腿会发软。所以总的原则是:想养成什么习惯,就去做;不想养成什么习惯,就别做,并用别的行动替代它。核心是:习惯不是靠决心,而是靠重复。做法是:把想养成的行为拆小,每天固定做一点;想戒掉的行为,用另一个具体动作替换。

上下文

今日一问

你想养成或戒掉的那个习惯,今天能用一个具体的小动作开始替换吗?
