looks to regain pace after studying a break can
sometimes be somewhat complicated if we have not psyched previously but this advice
is infallible and I know you'll love it and you will succeed and what that
ah advice
i hi clear that Hello Mauro, I was thinking about our Spanish students
who during the last weeks or even the whole two months have been enjoying
a well-deserved vacation sun beach sea breeze mountain long walks through the forests or
visiting cities and enjoying their culture But all the good things end unfortunately
with September the end of the holidays comes and it's time to return to reality back to work
at school in the early hours and back to study I have to get back to the Bulgarian but
how to go back to study and not die In the attempt after the summer I'm kind of lethargic and I find it
really difficult to motivate myself to go back to work and study because I'm going to tell you a
strategy for what e overcome September successfully and regain the good rhythm of study and all
language students should apply it because after the summer and recover lost ground
and get serious with Spanish, treasure if you have not completely parked your Spanish during the
summer the chapter Today will also serve you a lot because if you are like most
'homo sapiens' there will be many moments in your life in which today's trick will come in handy
and we have prepared an extra fluidity activator related to today's topic for
students in our thinking and speaking in Spanish during the extra activator it is now available in the
hope course see your video private facebook group of the voucher course clear then how
can recover the momentum of study after such a long pause as summer how to
regain self-discipline and motivation how to resume any project that has been parked
for a long period of time look to regain the rhythm of study gave after a
break can sometimes be somewhat complicated if we have not previously mentalized but this
advice is infallible and I know that you are going to love it and that you are going to succeed and what is that advice
begins with a tiny step so tiny that you cannot fail is say take a step so
infinitely small that you cannot fail I mean that you start with five minutes a day
that is, with a tiny step a step so microscopic that it is symbolic with a mini step
I cannot fail that is but of course you say five minutes It's something ridiculous that I can do much more, look,
I can commit to working an hour a day and so I'll catch up in a plis-plas
and wait before you venture too daring challenges listen first to what I want to
share with you because it is important If you have disconnected completely during the summer that you know
that your mind has been in relax mode too long to suddenly start studying all
day like a madman your mind needs to put I know in work mode needs a few days of adaptation
a transition period yes well I have been in relaxation mode all summer and I admit that I have lost
the habit and self-discipline for studying if you force your brain to return to work like
a slave it will reveal itself Ask any behavioral psychologist and they will confirm it, then
what is recommended is to start with very small steps because the main obstacle in
language learning is not the complexity of the language but to find the time to make it
decide a routine that works and commit to her, so the easiest thing is to decide on a
routine that works and stick with it, don't commit to a routine and stick to it,
that's why it starts with a tiny step so tiny that you can't miss well, stick
with five minutes, it's easy, anyone can stick with five. minutes and meeting the
five minutes allows you to reap a mini success a mini success every day remember is champion
that I always say about re success success is the sum of small actions repeated every day
success is the sum of many mini successes repeated day after day that is why at five minutes they are so
important to regain the routine to regain self-discipline regularity
strength of Willingness and motivation when you make the decision to study x amount of time
each day it is important that you keep your word because when you tell yourself
I am going to study Spanish for two hours every day your mind listens to you you have made a promise you have promised
yourself The same that you are going to study two hours every day and the consequences of not fulfilling this promise
are very serious, well, because you will learn a little less or it will delay you a day, it is not that serious,
that is almost the least, look first, let's see the implications of a student who successfully fulfills his
promise if he successfully films his promise the benefits are immense he will feel proud and
full of energy he will have greater motivation he will feel more confident of himself and at the same
time his level of Spanish will improve indescribably, well, it is no small feat and
what happens if a student does not stick to his promise for whatever reason is weak and does not comply with
what is agreed with his mind. The consequences can be catastrophic, you will feel frustrated, confused and
even guilty, reproach yourself for not persevering, flagellate yourself, criticize yourself, then start with
excuses and nothing happens if you did not study today and in the end you will try to erase from your memory the promise
you made but your mind will not forget look mauro if your mind has heard you promise something that later
you have not fulfilled now comes the catastrophic your mind has learned that you do not keep your
word and if you break your word more times your mind will stop trusting you Completely low
now I understand it for this more important although studying a lot of hours is deciding on your
new learning routine and persevere in it and for this it is preferable to establish a study
routine of ci Nco minutes and fulfill the one that promises to study an hour and not carry it out that is
the first thing gives you power implies a growth as a person the second is devastating therefore it
begins so infinitely small that you cannot fail it begins with five minutes because with five
minutes you do not you can fail also the five minutes are only your starting point my starting point of
course if you start with five minutes it will soon extend the time to 15 minutes and you will feel
great instead if you start with an hour you do not comply and then you decide to reduce it to 15 minutes
is extremely difficult to feel positive true what they perceive as a certain defeat
if it is true is far more expand significantly the time to reduce it because it is not the same accomplish
your goal more than they have failed hears because I like the plan also is thrown wait
wait there one more house to consider after the holidays the whole family tries to find
a new rhythm and certain hours of the day are very frantic. i you busy if mom I find
my book of love story where my blue tie hears someone has seen my heels
it's true I had not thought in September the amount of distractions is high uff will
be very difficult to fit study sessions In the midst of all this frenzy it is going
to be a disaster well do not collapse it is perfectly possible that you get up 15 minutes
before your family that you take off with cold water and that you dedicate 5 minutes to Spanish before
the others wake up or last time in the afternoon when everything is calm 5 minutes of
tranquility is quite easy to find if you propose it you find them 5 minutes just to
show you that I am not making it up but that I applied this philosophy of starting with such a
tiny step that it does not you can fail in other fields of my life I give you the most recent example and it is that
this spring I returned to yoga and stretching after a very long break for a year or so if it was
surprising because one clear day he got up he took out his yoga mat and simply began to
stretch with the typical sequence of yoga poses for 10 minutes gently without forcing
the next day I did this sequence of 10 minutes again because just thinking about one A very
long one hour yoga class exhausted me but 10 minutes I knew I could do ten minutes everyone
can do ten minutes and one day after another I continued with my ten minutes of yoga when
I reached 30 days in a row I couldn't believe it yes and we celebrate it because doing something for 30
days every day is an achievement is a challenge a talents that not everyone gets to fulfill the
important thing in all this was to start small with only 10 minutes after 30 days I gained a lot of
flexibility it left me back pain I could move my neck without discomfort I slept much better
so I decided to continue another 30 days but my body asked me for more so I also increased
the time to 15 minutes and then to 20 and a yes I continued to overcome the challenge of 60 days in a row wow I
jumped for joy and felt great so I increased to 30 minutes and I continued like this until I
had to stop for low back pain when I was about to reach 90 days in a row this was
a stick because I was very excited about achieving 90 days but how to manage setbacks is a
conversation for another clear day you have convinced me it starts with such a tiny step that you cannot
fail what a simple and powerful thing that you started only with 10 minutes of yoga and thanks to
to start with this mini goal they have been reaping one mini success after another one mini success day after day
that allowed you to consolidate a habit that you had lost, regain regularity, strengthen your
self-discipline and your willpower, if the mini successes are very powerful, it is essential to get up
all the time. days and start the day with a mini success and our students only need five or ten
minutes of Spanish that will make them feel good at all ás start the day and of course with that small
mini success, feeling happy and proud of yourself also gives you the positive impulse
for the rest of the day, it will truly be the necessary impulse to conquer the rest of the
responsibilities of the day exactly each mini success that I obtain increases my faith in the following
remember that success is the sum of small mini successes is the kaizen philosophy so to
summarize if you aim too high when establishing your study routine you have everything to lose and
nothing to gain so better start modestly with a small step there is no reason to feel bad
for being a small step because it can be accomplished and then increase the study time and
in this way you can savor success every day so it is true that there are some people who
aim high and manage to comply with his word and I'm not saying that high notes only
tell you that value is your situation now what value is if you're too relaxed objectively
tra s this summer and also to remember if in the past you took to be self disciplined or does not
reflect on these things and then make the decision about your new study routine
