For Better Results, Visualize your New Year’s Resolutions (2)

4. Once your outcome is clear, make a life-size picture of it. Visualize yourself acting, seeing, feeling and hearing as you will once your goal is reached. Make it big, adding intensity through colors, sounds and feelings.

5. Break [the goal] into smaller steps (i.e., to lose 10 pounds, for the next 10 weeks, walk for 30 minutes each morning, or take a walk at lunch.).

6. With each sub-goal, repeat steps 1 to 5. (For example, visualize which gym to join [and] the day you will join it. [Think of] how good you will feel accomplishing this first step, how you will celebrate with friends, etc. To reinforce the mental image, write down a description of it.)

January 1 is a day of hope for the future. Carry that hope through to a positive outcome. Let your mind assist you in seeing where you want to go and guiding you there with a mental image.

Focusing on the outcome will keep you from straying away from the shortest path to achieving your goal.

Teaching Topic: Two Confused Latin Abbreviations 兩個易混淆的拉丁文簡寫
拉丁文曾經是在歐美學術上出現的主要文字,
雖然人們已經越來越少用它,
但英文當中還是不時的會看到一些拉丁文的縮寫,
像i.e.
當一句話出現i.e.時, 就表示 換言之, 換句話說,
如果要建議某個人 break the goal into smaller steps,
後面可以再加 i.e., to lose 10 pounds, for the next 10 weeks, walk for 30 minutes each morning.
來加以解釋什麼是goal

另一個常見的縮寫是e.g. 也就是例如的意思,
你如果喜歡吃墨西歌料理,
你可以寫 I like Mexican food, e.g., tacos.

如何容易記起來:
i.e. (i= in other words)
e.g. 讀起來像egg. 像example 第一個音節的發音
