I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

おはようございます！
Atsushiです。

今日も川沿いを歩いています。
今日の北海道の気温は16℃。
今日は曇っています。

今日は、北海道へ引っ越してきて良かったことを3つ話します。
その後に少し困っていることも話します。

良かったこと1つ目
ー自然が近くにあります

きれいな川が家の近くにあります。
とても水がきれいです。
周りの緑も多く、とても癒されます。

良かったこと2つ目
ー野菜が安くておいしい
今まで住んでいたところよりも、とても安いです。
例えば、トマトは1つ¥40ぐらいでした。今までは1つ¥100ぐらいしていたので、とても安いです。
そして、どの野菜も甘みがあり、おいしいです。

良かったこと3つ目
ー人が優しい
ご飯を食べに行った時や、お店で何かを買う時、接客をされます。
その時のサービスはとても良いです。
みなさん、とても優しいです。

少し困っていることは
ー洗濯物が乾きにくいです。
これは今までは経験したことがありません。
洗濯物がなかなか乾かないので、
今は暖房を使ったり、干し方を変えたりして、工夫しています。

はい、ということで、今日は北海道へ引越して良かったこと、について話しました。
北海道はとても良いところですよ。

今回も最後まで聞いてくださり、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
