The art of validate the evidence.
A great man once said that Life is like boiling egg, without a technique you will definitely fail.” There is no one good way, but somehow we must figure out how to do it. What’s your technique?
Last month, at the SHS of 1D1U Camp, I was asked about my 「bedtime routine」 and 「skincare routine」. After a few months of my testing and results, I was ready to talk about it as a How-To.
And then I said something like this. 「I always try to find out what I did that worked, so I have my instruction manual and I can talk to people about it in a way that people can copｙ. I’ve told an advice what’s nomal for me, but it caused a buzz in the comments section.
“It wasn’t about validating the evidence, it was about reflecting and blaming myself and wondering why I couldn’t do it.”
“I think I usually reflect. But it was an eye-opener for me that it’s important to focus on the positive to recreate it. As you say, if you focus on the negative, reflection is only preventative, not productive.”
The next day, those who examined the positive side of a day found a change in the way they felt.
“Repeating the testing process also means that the number of little checks increases again. It seems like that’s what gives me the confidence for the future.”
“When I validate what worked, my self-esteem goes up, I acknowledge myself. And I found everything I’ve done so far is connected and as you say, I understand this is what my instruction manual is all about.”
Unlike reflection, validation is neutral. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes not so well. When things went well, what conditions were there? And when it didn’t, what were the conditions there? It’s just checking. In other words, it’s a world without failures. That way, the challenging bar is lowered and it’s easy to stay motivated.
People who enjoy validation can experience success in their daily lives and gain knowledge of many things, and they will enjoy life!
Until my second Tokyo Dome shot, vaccination, I have been trying to improve my immune system through diet and muscle training for a month. Thanks to that, the experiment has worked, without any serious side effects!
