(巻三十二)借家の天井低き暑さかな(正岡子規)
１月２５日火曜日
今朝もメジロらしきが囀ずる。双眼鏡を持ってベランダに出て焦点を合わせた。ウグイス色で目の周りが白い。メジロだろう。数羽居るらしく囀ずりが重なる。
午後といっても４時に歯医者に入る。前歯の差し歯と左奥歯の被せと右奥歯のエックス線で小一万となった。命を繋ぎ留めるには金が掛かる。
借家といえば、ここに住んで２月で満五年だ。敷金礼金保証人なしが売りの団地だが、更新手続きを言って来ない。大丈夫だろうか。インフレを考えれば安定性に欠けると言われればそうだが、公的な住宅で老人世帯も結構多い。老い先短い訳だし物を所有していないという気楽さが勝る。
願い事－生死直結で叶えてください。コワクナイ、コワクナイ。
酒を飲めば死ぬと判っていながら飲み続けてさっさと逝ってしまった方を先生を初め何人か存じ上げているが、酒での死に際はそれほど悪くはないようだ。
永らへてみても良し悪し寝酒かな(未詳)

So Dan, just before you go, would you be able to summarize what we've talked about into five top tips, some takeaway that people can use ???(1)??? struggling to motivate themselves?
2050
Sure. I do think that five things that people can do.
First, track and record your progress.
Second thing would be don't go for audacious goals, just aim to get little better each day.
Three. Use interrogative self talk instead of saying to yourself you can do this. Ask yourself a question can you do this and if so how. That would surface your intrinsic motivation and the strategies for getting the job done.
Fourth. When you talk to yourself, each week have
two ???(2)??? of conversations about how you are going to do something, and two more about why you do it in the first.
And finally number five. Make a public commitment. Have someone ???(3)???. In fact there is whole line of practice and even research on what is called commitments, where if I say to you I eat healthy vegetable everyday for the next 30 days, and if I don't, then I ???(4)??? contribute money to political candidate whom I dispise. I make that commitment publicly. It's a little ???(5)??? someone, but public commitments can be extraordinarily valuable.
