Act like you want to be

This is a very used technique.

Pretend I can, even if I can't do much.

In my case, a typical example is pretending to be able to speak English.

I want to perform something that I think is cool.

It's because there's an excellent example of self-deception.

It is to exercise.

I used to hate exercise.

When I was in elementary school, I was doing judo.

I remember being forced into my parents because I was getting bored at home.

After entering junior high school, I had to join some club activity, so I was wondering what to do, but my childhood friend invited me to the volleyball club where I didn't want to.

After going to high school, I didn't want to do any more exercise so that I couldn't get into club activities.

Since then, I've mostly avoided exercise until I got married at the age of 27.

When I got married, my diet changed dramatically.

I've been eating a lot of food which I used to eat unpredictably, but I'm getting fat.

Also, I think I was feeling stressed at work and had a habit of having a drink at this time.

I had never weighed more than 60 kg, but I weighed more than 65 kg, and my uric acid level exceeded the standard value at the medical examination.

And I decided to run every day to lose weight.

It's very tiring to get into the habit of dislikes.

Of course, I did it step by step, but the most important thing was to raise the value of exercise in myself.

I've told you that exercising will increase muscle, lose weight, and make you a cool person.

Of course, for that reason, I made a lot of effort to make this person think that this person likes to run.

You don't need to be dressed like a sportsman, eat as if you are careful about your health, go to competitions, act like that, make friends, or say something.

A few years later, the self-implications and self-deceptions that I imposed on me were successful, and now I don't remember lying to myself.

Now I'm making the same pattern about learning English.

Even though I can't do much, I pretend I can and surround myself from around.

Sometimes I get confused with someone who can speak English, and I am given an English job, but I will do it appropriately.

Self-deception feels like something terrible, but depending on how you use it, it feels like an excellent way to change yourself.

I look forward to the day when I used to hate exercise, but now that I like it, English becomes like that.
