目的を達成する方法・How to achieve your goals

こんにちは。

JEEPA認定英会話コーチのジョーンズです。

今年に入って早８日が経ちますね。

年末年始は如何お過ごしでしたか？

さて、私の方はというと、毎年の事ながら、１２月になるとクリスマスに向けて何かと忙しくしていました。。

コロナの影響もあって、クリスマスプレゼントはほぼon-lineで購入することになったので、その辺は楽でしたが。

クリスマスの当日は今年は我が家に主人の家族と長女のボーイフレンドをお招きしました。

食後に、主人の親友のお母さんも訪ねて来て下さったので、

毎年近いFamilyだけでお祝いするクリスマスとは違ったものになり、

新鮮で、とても良いクリスマスとなりました。

さて、前置きが長くなってしまいましたが、年始めのブログということなので、毎年、何となく今年の抱負みたいに決めて実行できずに終わっていることが多いので

こちらの中田さんの動画の後回しにしない技術を見てみました。

これは、為になる！と思ったので、皆さんにもご紹介。

では、どうぞ。

如何でしたでしょうか？

以下に私が大事だと思ったところをいくつか上げてみました。

JEEPAでは、エクササイズを始める前に、カリキュラムの１つとして、

受講生の皆さんに３か月後の目標をおききしています。

皆さん、色々な目標を持ってエクササイズに挑んで頂いています。

例えば、

映画を字幕なしで、見れる様になりたい。

海外の方々と日常英会話を楽しみたい。

海外での旅行を楽しみたい。

海外の人と友達になりたい。

仕事のプレゼンテーションを成功させたい。

TOEICの点数を上げる。英検に合格する。

英語を使って、どんな目標を成し遂げたいか。人それぞれです。

皆さんの今年の抱負にもし英語が入っていたら、JEEPAのエクササイズは、

大変お勧めです。

海外在住歴２４年、何とか生活できるからいいかと語学学習に向き合って来なかった私がまた取り掛かってみようと思えたエクササイズです。習慣化出来る工夫がされていて、日本人コーチにも相談して頂けます。

９０日間、続けて頂けたら、上達する仕組み作りが出来ているので、

後は、実行するだけです。

それでは、

今日はこの辺で。

JEEPAのエクササイズ、気になる方はこちらからご連絡下さい。

余談になりますが、昨年はon-lineで知り合ったダンスインストラクターの藤原敏江さんのクラスhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1592504947613492を１年続けることができていて、目標としていた筋力、体力をつけるが１年前の写真をみて達成できていたのを知って嬉しい年明けとなりました。因みに昨年の今頃は０回だった腕立て伏せ、只今の回数は毎日３０回です。

皆様、奇跡は起こせますよ～

Hello, everyone.
I'm Yumi, a JEEPA certified English conversation coach.
It's been 8 days since the beginning of this year.
How did you spend your New Year's holiday?

As for me, every year in December, I was busy preparing for Christmas.
I've been able to buy most of my Christmas gifts on-line due to the influence of Covid, so that made things easier for me. .

On Christmas day, we invited my husband's family and my eldest daughter's boyfriend to our house this year. After lunch, my husband's best friend's mother also came to visit us.
It was a different kind of Christmas than the one we celebrate every year with just our close family, so it was a fresh and very nice Christmas.

I'm sorry for the lengthy preamble, but since this is the first blog of the new year, some kind of resolution for

the year, but I've been failing to implement it  so I watched this video by Mr. Nakata on the skill of not

putting things off. 

So, here you go.

 

 

How did you like it?

Here is a summary of some of the things I thought were important.

To put it off or not to put it off is dramatically important in life.

If you have the ability to not put things off,  you can succeed. 

Just do it.

Execution is not a character trait. Execution is a skill.

If you have a clear understanding of the psychological mechanisms that cause people to put things off,  and if you have the skills to overcome them. If you clearly install the skill to overcome it, your behavior will surely change.

Techniques to avoid putting things off
(1) Make up your mind.
(2) Do it.
(3) Maintain it.

Let's apply this to the JEEPA English conversation exercise.
1) Decide to do the JEEPA exercise.
2) Do it.
(3) Work on it for 90 days.
(The deadlines at the beginning and the end are set so that you are forced to do the exercises, and the classes include native speakers so that you can get the input and output you need to improve.)

At JEEPA, as part of the curriculum, before we start the exercises, we ask the students what their goals are   for the next three months.
Everyone has a variety of goals in mind when they start exercising.

For example
I want to be able to watch movies without subtitles.
I want to enjoy daily English conversation with people from overseas.
I want to enjoy traveling abroad.

I want to make friends from overseas.

I want to make a successful presentation at work.
I want to improve my TOEIC score.

I want to pass the English proficiency test.

What goals do you want to achieve using English? It’s completely up to you!

If English is one of your goals for this year, I highly recommend the JEEPA exercises.

I have been living abroad for 24 years, and I've never tried to learn a language because I thought I could just live with it, but this exercise made me want to try again. The exercises are designed to be habit-forming, and you can consult with a Japanese coach (like me ).
If you continue for 90 days, the system is designed to help you continue.
All you have to do is “just do it”.

That's it for today.

As an aside, last year I was able to continue taking classes with dance instructor Toshie Fujiwara (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1592504947613492), whom I met on-line, for a year, and I was happy to see that I had achieved my goal of gaining muscle strength and stamina by looking at my photos from a year ago. It was a great way to start the year. In case you're wondering, I'm currently doing 30 push-ups every day which started 0 the beginning of the year. .
You can make miracles happen .
