Motif (motivation for production)

water drops on sink

what to draw in a painting。what to write about in a novel。What do you paint with music?。what reporters write about。What kind of society are politicians trying to portray? The targets vary.、It may look like miscellaneous light, but light of various wavelengths overlaps like cocktail light.、I'm sure there are parts of it that stand out in three dimensions.。

Washing dishes is part of my routine。Dishes piling up in the sink are boring。Because I spend a lot of time sitting、To restore blood circulation to the legs、Sometimes you need to stand up。Standing blankly、It seems that an exercise as simple as heel raises is fine.、I combined that with washing dishes.。It seems that there is a popular program on the BBC called “Dance in the Kitchen”.。I've never looked at the contents in detail.、The point seems to be that "washing dishes can be a fun time to dance."。Shake your butt rhythmically、I share the same idea that washing dishes is good for your health.。I also spread my legs while washing the dishes.、Twisting your waist。If there are not enough dishes or pots to wash、I'm starting to feel like I'm going to lack exercise, so I'm going solo on my habits.。

And what I see every day is this “landscape”。Even if it seems like I see it every day、you can never see the same thing twice。Facts and truth are all here。painting、Novel...Society、politics etc.、It overlaps deeply with every field.。Like fixed point observation、Take a picture or sketch this every day、I'm sure I'll be able to create something amazing、I still haven't taken a single photo (I took at least one)、I haven't even sketched。-There is no need to look for a special motif.、Rolling down in front of me like this、looking at me from below、It was。

It's hard to stay motivated

motivation-Motivation is (the source of) motivation。When you're full of motivation, it's natural to do something.、I can't imagine feeling like I'm trying to "maintain" something.。However、A series of small failures、The environment has changed and it has become somehow difficult.、When things don't go smoothly for various reasons、including me、Many people lose motivation, even temporarily.。

Even if my motivation doesn't increase、Most of the time, for various reasons, you cannot get the desired result → Feeling of accomplishment、Unable to feel happy → It is painful to continue、I guess that means。If you get the results you want、I probably won't worry about it。

Humans are very greedy animals.、If the same (similar) results continue、That in itself is a source of dissatisfaction, which is troublesome.。For example, let's say you come second every time in a track and field event.。2nd place every time in different tournaments is quite a good result.。Moreover, since we are humans, it is not only when we are in good physical condition.。Still, I think it's amazing that he came in second place every time.、If you want to be number 1, you'll probably be dissatisfied.、Maybe you've gotten used to "always coming in second place" and it's far from a sense of accomplishment.。The problem is the surroundings。"disappointing。Encouragement such as “Just one more step” or “Next time is number one” have the opposite effect.、Detracts from the person's sense of accomplishment。And before you know it, that feeling of regret settles in your heart.。imagine like that。

People who get motivation only by comparing themselves with others、In this sense, it can be said that athletes in various sports are in a particularly harsh environment.。If you say it like this、自分はすでに悟りの境地にいるかのように思われそうだがわたしもそこから脱することは全然できない。However、最近は人との比較(はするが)より自分の人生の残り時間との中でモチベーションを考えるようになってきた山に喩えると頂上という具体的な結果よりもどの高さから風景を眺めたいかという一種の“自己満足派”に移りつつあるようだ自己満足とはいえそこへ行くにも小なりとも幾多のハードルがありそのいちいちを越えるごとにちょっとした喜びを味わうやっても無駄かなというとんでもない「虚無」が持ち上がってくるとやる気ガタ落ちになるがとりあえずそうやって“プチ”満足でやる気を維持しているようである

Step by short step

今ごろ年賀状だって

step by step (一歩ずつ)という慣用句を自分の感覚に合わせて作りなおしてみた「一歩」というのは(わたしにとって)意外に大きく半足(足裏の長さの半分)ずつ見た目で言えば“すり足”のように進むことさえかなわないことがあるという意味を込めたつもり(ちなみに英文的には不適切な句だと思う)

毎回動画の話で恐縮だがあるYouTuber が言うには「YouTubeを始める人のほとんどは挫折する」最初の数カ月は一歩も進まないからだという頑張って動画を作っても反応がゼロかそれに近い日が続き少し視聴数が増えても嫌なコメントが来たりすると落ち込んで熱意を失う、Apparently。

幸い?わたしの場合わりと最近まで視聴数とか全然気にしていなかった(そんな余裕もなかった)とりあえず作る練習作ったものをアップするこの二つを繋ぐことができるだけで100% 満足できたそんなごく小さな技術的なことを一つ覚えるたびに小さな喜びを得た小さな成功体験の積み重ねというやつ?
 「ほとんどの人は視聴数〇万回とかチャンネル登録者△万人というところだけ見て自分にも簡単にできそうだと思う」とも言っていたが「そんなの無理」と真面目にとらえなかったのもまだ続けられている理由の一つかもしれないいろいろ数値や例を挙げて説明していたが、In a nutshell、結果を早く得ようとし過ぎるからということのようだった
 動画であれなんであれ最初は(対外的な)結果など望めないのが普通。But、(自分の中では)難しかったところがなんとなくできるようになったそれらしいかたちをとれるとるのが苦にならなくなってきたなど小さなステップアップは手応えとして誰にでもあるものだその小さな short step の積み重ねが step を作る。actual、皆そうやってきた

苦しいのはそれがどれだけあれば 「一歩」になるのかそれにどれだけの時間がかかるのかが分らないということではないだろうか今のアメリカ流の教育法の一つはstep をできるだけ小さく区切って具体的な目標を明示することなのだそうだそしてこの教育法が多くのノーベル賞受賞者を生んできたと何かで読んだ
 これが出来ればグッジョブそれもできればコングラチュレーション(おめでとう)グレート!(すごい!)(日本流に)遠いゴールだけを見て「これくらいじゃまだまだ」と思うから苦しい、It might be。自分で自分を教育しよう人が褒めてくれなくたって自分で勝手に褒めようご褒美も用意しようStep を さらに小さく区切ってまずは自己満足から Start from a step.
