12_Game what I played

I played through the Elden Ring half a year ago.
Strong opponents defeated me many times,
and I almost gave up.
But as I leveled up my character,
I was able to beat him.

Leveling up.
In video games, my character becomes stronger
just by repeating monotonous actions.

In real life, what kind of leveling up is there?
Some of the things that come to mind are
practicing for athletic meets,
studying for college entrance exams, etc.
But there were not many times when I
realized that I had level up.

I think many people realize that their level had
increased when the results are clear,
such as passing a university exam.

The increase in level is obvious in Elden ring
because of character’s parameter is visible.
Also, the enemy to be defeated is clear.
The player can proceed straight
toward the goal.

In raising my level in real life, I cannot check
my parameters as in Elden ring.
So I cannot check my growth objectively.

Perhaps the following a. b. is important
in raising the level (effort) at real life.
a. Quantify and record your level-up (effort)
b. Be clear about your goals.

My character in Eldenring is already
strong enough.
Comfortable to play.

If you persist with a and b above,
you should be comfortable in life.
thanks.

11. About memory

I have been thinking lately that Maybe memory is
like a geological stratum.

I sometimes unconsciously recall unpleasant or
heartwarming events that happened
many years ago.

On the other hand, I consciously recall English
and math solutions I learned years ago
while studying for certifications.

When I consciously recall the solution,
I am looking back through the strata of memory,
and I believe that my brain is unconsciously
touching on memories other than the solution.

Just now, looking back. You see so many things.
It is difficult to see only what you want to see.

In other words, I wonder that people who regularly
recall skills learned years ago are likely to regularly
recall good and bad memories from years ago.

Remembering good memories is good.
But to recall a bad memory over and over again
and be tormented by it each time is,
I would say, hell.

If we can create many good memories from
now on, there will be many opportunities to
warm our hearts in the distant future.

It’s as if I’m saving up for a memory.
I want to have no regrets every minute of
every hour of every day.
Thanks.

13_変化を追いかける

何か目標を立てて その達成に向かって努力する。
でも その努力が長続きしないときってありませんか?
私にも努力が長続きしないときがあります。
でも長く続いた例があります。
それはダイエットです。

約2年間ダイエットを続けて自分で納得できる体重まで
減量できました。
どうして2年間も続けられたか考えてみました。
要因のひとつはほぼ毎日朝と夜で計2回体重を
測ったことだと思います。
ほぼ毎日体重を測っていると自分の行動(選択)と
体重の増減の関係が分かってきます。

食べる量を抑えたとき、体重計に乗ることが
楽しみになります。
狙い通り体重が減っていると達成感もあり、
新しい服・ズボンも買いたくなります。
ますます痩せる努力、続けられそうですよね

努力が長続きしないなと思ったとき、次1.2.に
気を付けて 再トライしてみませんか。
1.努力の結果を形にする
→上記ダイエットなら毎日体重を測る、
 この他 例えば英語力を上げたいならTOEIC試験を
 定期的に受けて点数を確認する
2.努力の結果の形が自分の行動(選択)と
 どのような関係があるか考えてみる。

努力の結果の形は変化します。またその変化を絶えず
追いかけていると どういうわけか自分の外見や
表情もよりよいほうに変化します。

今日は元旦(2023.01.01)です。多くの人が
目標を立てられるでしょう。
私も目標を立てます。
皆様が目標を達成して、2023年をよりよい1年と
されることを心より願っています。以上
