こんにちは。
理想の未来へ向かうための日本語時間のMAMIKOです。

今日は、夢を叶えるために何をしたらいいかについてお話します。
みなさんは、将来どんな生活をしたいですか？
お金持ちになりたいですか？
きれいな家に住みたいですか？
海外旅行に行きたいですか？
人によって、いろいろな夢がありますね。

では、その夢のために、毎日どれくらい時間を使っていますか？
夢のために使う時間は、多いほうがいいです。

たとえば、憧れの生活をしている人の動画を見る。
好きな音楽を聞く。
ディフューザーを使って、いい香りをかぐ。
こういうふうに、五感（目・耳・鼻・口・体）を使うことがおすすめです。

私は毎朝ヨガをしています。
ヨガをすると、気持ちが前向きになります。
この行動もただの習慣と考えずに、理想の未来へ近づくための時間、自分を満たしている時間と考えています。
そして、ディフューザーを使って、いい香りをかぎながらヨガをすると、とても幸せな時間になります。

夢をかなえるために、もう一つ大事なことがあります。
それは「行動する」ことです。
行動しなければ、結果はありません。
行動を続けるから、結果が出ます。

人はすぐに成果が出る方法を探します。
でも、成功している人は、めんどうでもやります。
めんどうな気持ちを無視して、行動します。

そうすれば、あなたも夢に近づきます。
日本語を勉強しながら、理想の未来をかなえましょう！

夢を叶えるために使う時間　Time to Make Your Dreams Come True

I've taught from students in universities to CEOs of top companies in China. From teachers to engineers and from PhD students in Tsinghua and Pekin universities. 

Through analyzing over 14 thousand students I came to realize that it isn't the knowledge you need to acquire or the skills as a language learner but a state of mind with which you'll be using this knowledge.

In the audio recording I go over your key factors for success and you already know it too - listen to the end to get the magic formula and enjoy the process... 

Feeeeeel into it deeper and still find your path as the result

En el vertiginoso y acelerado ritmo de vida de hoy en día, sentir ansiedad se ha convertido en una compañera casi inevitable para muchas personas en todo el mundo. Desde las presiones laborales hasta las demandas sociales y las expectativas personales de todos los tipos, son solo algunos factores que contribuyen a un aumento generalizado de la ansiedad en la sociedad moderna.

La Ansiedad en el mundo de hoy

If you see someone sitting alone in a restaurant, you might assume they're waiting for someone, or perhaps they're grabbing a quick lunch on their break.

But more and more people around the world are purposely dining alone.

Japan has a special word for this: ohitorisama, which refers to people confidently doing things alone without worrying about what others think.

A recent survey found that 23% of Japanese people eat out alone, up from 18% in 2018. And in the US, solo dining reservations have risen 29% over the last two years, according to restaurant reservation site OpenTable.

OpenTable CEO Debby Soo thinks remote work is one reason for the increase, with people looking for a break from their home offices.

The increasing popularity in solo dining comes as more people are living alone. In 2019, the Pew Research Center found that 38% of US adults ages 25 to 54 were living without a partner, up from 29% in 1990. In Japan, single households now make up one-third of the total; that’s expected to increase to 40% by 2040, according to government data.

Growing interest in solo travel — particularly among travelers ages 55 and over — is also leading to more meals alone.

But Soo thinks there could be more to it than that.

"I think there's a broader movement of self-love and self-care and really … enjoying your own company," Soo said.

As a result, many restaurants are redoing their seating, changing their menus and adding other special touches to appeal to solo diners.

But some aren't always happy to seat one diner. A Michelin-starred London restaurant caused a stir last year when it started charging solo diners the same price as two customers. The restaurant, which has 34 seats, offers an eight-course menu costing about $280 per person.

Other restaurants say it's worth seating one person because solo diners will often come back and eat there again.
