(巻三十二)検針のこんどは瓦斯や日の盛り(高澤良一)

 

2月9日水曜日

 

細君が生協から戻ったが、雪対策での買い急ぎは見られなかったとのことだ。

豪雪対策公家の軍議に終りけり(竹田恵示)

家主の公団から割引家賃の適用期間が経過したので割引終了との通知がきた。契約のことが気になったので電話して訊いてみたら一年毎の自動更新が続くらしい。家賃は3年に一度の市況調査で増減があるとのことだ。家賃滞納以外には公団側からの契約解除はあまり考えられないとのことだ。今の世の中が続いていれば家賃を払えないということはなかろうが、先のことは分からない。

午後は散歩日和で二丁目の路地を伝って亀有銀座に入り串焼き本舗で一息入れた。いつまで呑めるか体も懐も分からないが、先のことは先のことだ。帰りに生協に寄り雪害に備えてどら焼を3個買う。

Advice sought after:

 

I listen to and dictate BBC programs (podcasts) to deter and delay dementia. And oftentimes I come to words and phrases which I cannot catch. It would be appreciated if you can tell me what they are saying and also correct my incorrect catching in the attempted transcript.

 

Thanks in advance.

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?

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 every day for the next 30 days, and if I don't, then I ???(4)??? contribute money to political candidate whom I despise. I make that commitment publicly. It's a little ???(5)??? someone, but public commitments can be extraordinarily valuable.

Jun san - 1 = when they're (when they are); 2 = fewer; 3 = hold you to it (means - make sure you do it); 4 = I'm gonna (short form of "going to", commonly used in the USA) 5 = It's a little controlling if it comes from someone else (I think this means that if people follow his advice it could be seen as being influenced by another person rather than making your own decision). Hope this helps.
