やりたくないことをやる
英語学習のみならず何かで結果を出したいなら
習慣が大事、なのは間違いないですよね。
私も今年、様々な習慣化に取り組みました。
瞑想、英語ニュース、単語学習、コールドシャワー、ジャーナル← NEW
最初は煩わしかったものも、慣れてくると楽しくなってきたりします。
ただそこに問題が。。。
Huberman LabというPodcastに最近ハマっているのですが
プレゼンターのAndrew Hubermanさん曰く
「やりたくないことをやることで神経回路が刺激され忍耐力や意志の力が高まる」
Will doing things you don’t want to do increase the size of your aMCC? | Ask Huberman Lab
とのこと。やりたくないことをやるって意味のあることなんですよね。
ただトリッキーなのが
「やりたくないことが楽しいことに変わった瞬間、その効果はなくなる」
とのこと。
楽しみ始めた時点で脳に対する刺激が変わるんですって、あかんやん。
こんな風に知らないことってまだまだこの世にいっぱいある。
少しずつ、色んな情報に触れて、何が本当で何が間違いか、考えられる人間になりたいな、そう思った今日この頃でした。
日記
I skipped two days of journaling. Because two days ago, I invited some of my friends to my house for holding October festival. My wife's father gave me a lot of beer and sausages as birthday gifts which I thought I was not able to eat up by myself, so I asked their help. It was chilling time, because they are close friends of mine, I did not need to pay mind to them too much. Since I had drunk too much, I had a serious headache in the following day. Therefore I spend most of my time watching anime and reading manga with lying on the bed. In the evening I went out with my wife to watch comet which we could watch only in the week but unfortunately we could not see it. Today I hesitated to go work, which I always had the feeling on Monday, or I think that every person are not willing to work on Monday. Today a colleague of mine came to my lesson to learn. I am so glad that someone do that because that makes me feel being accepted. After class we discussed the effective way of teaching English. This topic is controversial though, we have to continue talking about in order to progress our teaching skills. After coming back home, I trained myself for Eiken grade1 exam. I found one useful Youtube channel which is called English file produced by Mr ichinose, one of the prestigious English youtuber in Japan. One of the movie is for test taker of Eiken. But I still feel uneasy about next Eiken exam. To get rid of fear, all I can do is to practice repeatedly.

I skipped two days of journaling. Two days ago, I invited some friends over to my house for an October festival. My father-in-law gave me a lot of beer and sausages as birthday gifts, and since I didn’t think I could finish them all by myself, I asked my friends to help out. It was a relaxing time, and because they’re close friends, I didn’t need to worry too much about hosting. Since I drank too much, I had a terrible headache the next day. I ended up spending most of the day watching anime and reading manga while lying in bed.
In the evening, my wife and I went out to try to see a comet that was only visible this week, but unfortunately, we couldn’t catch a glimpse of it. Today, I hesitated to go to work, as I often feel on Mondays, and I’m sure a lot of people share that feeling. A colleague of mine attended my lesson today to learn, and I was really happy because it made me feel accepted. After class, we discussed effective ways to teach English. It's a bit of a controversial topic, but we need to keep the conversation going to improve our teaching skills.
When I got home, I studied for the Eiken Grade 1 exam. I found a helpful YouTube channel called "English File," run by Mr. Ichinose, one of Japan’s top English YouTubers. One of the videos is aimed at people taking the Eiken exam. Still, I feel nervous about the upcoming exam. The only way to overcome my fear is to keep practicing.
