Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 57
Learning will be more effective if you overcome negative emotions
Research in modern educational psychology has shown that there is also an important relationship between emotion and brain efficiency.No matter what the reason is, the mental stress and long-term mental distress, anxiety and ideological contradictions can cause excessive consumption of brain cell energy, resulting in a decline in learning efficiency.

Therefore, in learning, we must pay attention to regulating our emotions.The learning experience of top students at Tsinghua University and Peking University is that if learning and thinking are accompanied by pleasant emotions such as excitement and excitement, it will promote the development of their intelligence.All unpleasant negative emotions will hinder the development of intelligence.Therefore, you should always maintain a happy mood for learning and thinking, and maintain your brain to improve the efficiency of brain use.

Emotion is a key factor that determines whether a person's academic performance is good or not.Whether a person's intelligence can be fully utilized and whether he can control his emotions is a very important factor.

We are often affected by bad emotions in our studies.For example, when we suffer setbacks in study, or are criticized by teachers, etc., we will feel disgusted with learning, which is very detrimental to future study.

All kinds of bad emotions in learning directly affect our learning efficiency, so in order to improve learning efficiency, we must overcome them.

Here are a few ways to overcome bad emotions, for your reference only.

1. Fully understand the importance of learning

When we have bad emotions in our brains, we will get tired of studying.At this time, they will lose interest in learning and even take some measures to resist learning.

There was a student who became bored with studying because of his parents’ divorce. At first he just lost interest in studying, but later he even skipped classes, and even took the tuition fees given by his parents to go out to play and spent all the tuition fees. go home.

The teacher asked him why he did this, and he simply replied, "I don't want to study anymore. Anyway, I'm still thinking about other things when I'm sitting in class. Why don't we just go and play." Teachers and parents advised him to go back to school, And he said indifferently: "Learning is not as important as it used to be in my mind."

What this classmate said is very surprising. If learning is still as important in his mind, he will definitely study hard.Therefore, when bad emotions strike, we must be able to fully realize the importance of learning, so that we can avoid bad emotions and study harder.

2. Find out the cause and prescribe the right medicine

There are many reasons for bad emotions, such as insufficient understanding of the importance of learning, lack of confidence in one's own learning ability, and improper learning methods.Therefore, we must find out the cause of bad emotions, and prescribe the right medicine according to our actual situation, so as to solve the problem fundamentally and eliminate bad learning emotions.

3. Use past achievements to encourage yourself

When we have negative emotions and our academic performance drops significantly, some students who lack learning experience will become bored with learning, and even simply "broke the cans and smashes", and their academic performance is declining day by day.

In fact, a good way to get rid of bad emotions is to use past achievements to encourage yourself.

A classmate who successfully got rid of bad learning emotions once said: "When I had bad learning emotions and my grades dropped significantly, I thought calmly, looked for the reasons, and used my previous grades to encourage myself. I think it must be because The recent learning method is not appropriate, or because I didn’t work hard enough, I believe that I have a strong ability, isn’t the previous achievement a good testimony? In this way, the interest in learning will be as strong as before, because I know what caused it. This reason is not because of my own ability."

This student's method is indeed worth learning. Using previous achievements to encourage lost learning emotions can indeed fundamentally transform bad learning emotions into learning motivation.

4. Have the confidence to overcome bad learning emotions

When bad learning emotions hit us, we must believe that we can overcome it.With this confidence, there is a drive to overcome bad feelings in order to prove that you have the ability.

There is such a classmate, when he is tired of studying, he will say to himself: "I don't believe that I can be intimidated by bad learning emotions. I must work hard to prove that I have a strong enough learning ability." So, He worked very hard, and slowly, the bad learning mood disappeared.

Therefore, the confidence to overcome bad learning emotions is very important to students, and it is our motivation to overcome bad emotions.

Here are a few simple, feasible and natural ways to regulate emotions and relieve worries:

1. smile
Smiling can transmit nerve impulses from facial muscles to the emotional control center in the brain, causing changes in the chemicals in the nerve center, thereby calming the mood.

2. Smell the aroma
China has long recorded the use of aromatic drugs to treat diseases. It is best to buy natural fragrances such as rose oil. If you can’t do it, you can smell the perfume. To experience the pleasant feeling of fragrance.

3. Hand waving movement
Or sit or stand, swing your hands back and forth vigorously for 10 seconds, and then adjust your breathing.

4. Divert attention

If you want to divert your attention, you can look at the natural scenery outside the window, look at the flowing clouds, and watch the ants move.

5. Take a walk
Let's go for a walk in the park. There is really no place to go. You can stand up and walk indoors. The key is to get up and move.

6. Take a hot bath

Take a hot bath, sweat profusely, let the blood flow in the whole body, and the troubles seem to be washed away along with the dirt.

7. Listen to music

Modern research proves that music can slow the heart rate and improve tolerance to the environment.Go find some music and listen to it, classics, pop music, popular songs, sing along loudly for a while, and let off steam.

Relieve the pressure of learning skillfully with an appreciative eye
Pressure is everywhere. Many top students faced great study pressure before being admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and they still have constant pressure after being admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.Since the pressure cannot be shaken off, we need to adjust our mentality to treat and appreciate the pressure correctly.

Academic performance is an important aspect that puts pressure on many people. Although grades are important, they should not be taken too seriously, otherwise it will easily cause pressure in learning and even fear.

The sources of stress we face mainly come from study, parents, teachers and peers, environment, self-development and time.At this time, you should pay attention to adjusting your psychology.It can be said that pressure is also a double-edged sword, the key lies in how we use it.Only by facing it calmly and turning it into motivation can we not be trapped by it. If we look at pressure with appreciation, learning will become easier.

Nowadays, primary and middle school students are already burdened with heavy studies, and the expectations of teachers and parents add weight to their psychology. Some students themselves attach great importance to grades and exams, which is tantamount to putting pressure on themselves. It is bound to be overwhelmed and become tired, timid and irritable, and it is rare to have a moment of peace of mind.

Stress isn't just a bad thing for people.People are a little lazy most of the time, moderate pressure is good for people.Pressure prevents us from slacking off, stress makes us full of tension, and pressure forces us to muster our strength to fight.

Just imagine, if we avoid doing anything that causes us stress, where will we get proof of our ability and potential?If it weren't for the disasters and hardships in the natural world, human beings would not have developed into the era of the Internet and nanotechnology. It is the pressure of survival that makes people change themselves while changing nature.

During the college entrance examination in a certain year, there was a female champion who was usually optimistic and cheerful, and her extracurricular life was very colorful.Many classmates asked her: "It seems that you don't usually work very hard. You play so much and you are under so much pressure to study. How did you do so well in the exam?"

But she said with a smile: "It's not that I don't have the pressure to study, but that I am good at looking at them with appreciation, so I like them. The combination of work and rest makes me study very happily."

According to this female number one scholar's point of view, learning should be loose and tight like a spring, and the spring must be compressed first and then released to be strong. In school, she is an active sportsman and a member of the school's women's basketball team.Life is a colorful picture in front of her. She has a wide range of interests and loves to sing. She often sings in family chorus with her sister and brother. She also loves to play the piano.She also especially likes to draw. When she is tired from studying, she will take out a pen and paper to draw a sketch or copy, and has a lot of works.

On the one hand, her success is due to the adjustment of life, and on the other hand, she has a correct attitude towards pressure, which does not cause emotional fluctuations, so she can achieve such good results.

Stress has a two-way effect on our learning, and the key to making it play a positive role lies in how we turn it into a motivation for learning.So, how to achieve this transformation?
First, let yourself "cut off" the failure experience, not be affected by the shadow of past failures, and start everything from now.The pressure of many students comes from the obsession with past failures.Everyone must give themselves the opportunity when necessary, allowing themselves to start from scratch.

Second, determine the appropriate goals.You may have many wishes in life, but your goals should not be too high.Because, once your goal is set high, you immediately start to worry about whether it can be achieved, and this worry has unconsciously become the pressure of learning.Of course, you can't set the goal too low. A goal that is too low tells you that you have no confidence in learning. Even if the goal is achieved, your situation will not change much.You can close your eyes and analyze your situation. If you fail a lot of homework, then don’t think so much. During the holiday, you have to finish the homework assigned by the teacher first, and then you can talk about checking for omissions and making up for vacancies or previewing Senior year courses.

Third, act now.Some top students who have achieved excellent grades have such an experience. If they want to succeed, they must act immediately and stick to it.

Don't procrastinate. Procrastination is time-consuming and slowly weakens the momentum that has just been gathered.If you can persist in taking action for a while after determining the goal, you will find that you don't have much pressure.All stress will find its outlet in action.As long as you persevere, the result of hard study is not only academic progress, but also the confidence you will gain in learning. You know that you can persist in learning and make progress. This is the long-term way to eliminate study pressure, and it is also your Ways to gain motivation to learn.

Usually, how do we relieve the pressure of study and maintain a good mood?You can refer to the following methods:
(1) Learn to be humorous.Humor is a regulator of mental health. Humor can well relieve the worries in your heart and let you have a good mood and emotions to cope with everything around you.

(2) Read more books.Traveling in the world of books can make a person gradually become open-minded, open-minded and not afraid of pressure in a subtle way.

(3) Have an objective understanding of yourself, and treat success and failure correctly.Don't make excuses for failure, but find ways to succeed.Analyze the reasons, find out the deficiencies, and make up for them.Set your goals objectively and rationally, and identify the reasons for your academic successes and failures.Find out your own learning situation, master efficient learning strategies and methods, so as to improve learning effectiveness and self-confidence.

Learning with a happy mood is the secret of memory for top students
I don't know if in the process of learning, you find out all kinds of reasons again and again to postpone what you should do, and try to avoid the drudgery of memorizing.

Have you ever complained about your memory like this: "I just lack confidence."

"I love distractions too much."

"I'm a little absent-minded."

"Trying to remember? Come on, I'm a little tired."

"I have a hard time concentrating on something for long."

"I just don't have the mood to do it."

……

Many students may have had this experience: when they are in a good mood, the effect of reading and learning will be particularly good, and the memory will be particularly deep; I don't know what the book says, and it's hard to get a good learning effect.

Psychologist Powell pointed out: depression will affect memory, self-denial at every turn or always in a cowardly and depressed mood are the enemies of attention or memory.

Depressed emotions will blunt the absorption and reproduction of information, cause changes in the chemical phenomena in the brain, and even lead to a decrease in the level of attention and reduce the ability to concentrate.Therefore, in order to remember faster and better, we'd better avoid depression as much as possible and keep ourselves optimistic.
