• #105 LukeLikes「Go Left, Go Right」

  Luke Likes 'Go Left, Go Right'Go where? Left? Right? Why? I am not going anywhere today. I am not going anywhere. It is snowy, it is snowy. Inside - good. Outside - bad. Don't go out.Now, actually, actually, it is pretty nice outside. It is snowing heavily, it is snowing right now for the first time, and it is pretty cold. And wet a little. Dark, also cloudy, but still, still quite beautiful, quite beautiful. So, maybe outside - good, inside - bad. So, about right now, about today, about right now, and today. No left, no right. Just today. I do have some time, and I am thinking what to do. I have a few ideas. One of them, one of them is to go out and, well, get the first experience of the winter, winter in November. November winter, pretty early.So, that's today. Maybe later on, later on, later on, today. Well, I have dinner as usual, family dinner, and as usual I record the episode. That's my usual thing to do on this day, and I am doing that, I am doing that right now.So, let's go left, left, and by left, I mean yesterday, last week, last month, maybe, last year, last year, in the past, very much, into left. So, when I go left, I mean the past.Yesterday, for example, I had a pretty busy day, not like today, but yesterday, I did, I did. I had quite a lot of things to do. I also wanted to find some time for workout, and unfortunately, I didn't, I didn't do, I didn't, I didn't find any, and I didn't find any energy either. I didn't find any, any, any energy either.But, believe me, believe me, I wanted, I wanted. I did find some time to do a little clean-up. So, I cleaned, I cleaned up the apartment a little bit, so I was happy about that. It wasn't that bad, because I had a nice evening to finish off the day yesterday. Yeah, and went to sleep quite early, so I could get some sleep, get enough sleep, because I didn't get it in the past week, I didn't get enough sleep.Alright, are you with me? That was the left. Let's go right then, let's go right. And when I say right, I mean, not the past, not the present, let's go into the future, into the future, back to the future.So, I am gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I am gonna, have dinner, I am gonna, well, obviously, hang out with my family after that. I'm sure it will be, it will be great, it will be great. Also, in the evening, I'm gonna go out, and I'm gonna take out my dog for a walk in the snow. That will be quite an experience for me and for him.And then, maybe I will do some work before tomorrow, because I will have to, I will have to get ready, but hopefully I will not have to spend a lot of time doing that. And then, I am gonna do some language learning, language learning. Well, can't wait, I can't wait.I am also, also gonna, well, find some time to do my workout, finally, to do my workout.

• #104 LukeLikes「Motivation」

  Luke Likes 'Motivation'Motivation, do you have motivation? Do you have enough motivation? Do you have enough motivation to do that, to do this, to do things? Are you motivated enough? Are you motivated?Because that's a mystery, so like a secret, and we wonder, was it really is. A mystery. How does it really work? Can you please tell me? Can you please tell me? Why am I motivated? Why am I not motivated enough to do exercise in the morning?I wake up and I wonder, 'Hmm, I want to do that today.' But yesterday, I didn't really want. I didn't feel like doing that. I didn't want to do that. I didn't feel like doing. Why is that?Yeah, morning exercise, a mystery. Or to work hard and do your best, do your best, which means to be as best as you can, do your best. Am I always motivated to do this? I don't think so. I would like to be. Yeah, that's for sure.Or to study, to study every day, to study three times a week, to be more regular. To keep coming back to studying. Are you motivated enough? Yes you are. Sometimes. Not always. But you do come back. You do. You always come back.So why is that? We struggle. We struggle. I struggle, so I have problems. I have problems doing that, I struggle to do something. To learn sometimes, to make myself do it, make myself do it. 'Oh, not today. Not today. I'm so tired. I don't feel like doing that.' I'm sure you feel like that from time to time as well. But then, for some reason, for some reason, you find motivation, find motivation to do that.So what is it? What is this motivation you have? What is this thing that pushes you, pushes you to doing things? You must get something out of this. You must, right?Do you get this satisfaction, satisfaction, and this is enough? Maybe. Do you want to be better and better? And that's great. Yeah, why not? Is it money? Maybe. Why not? Maybe you want to impress other people, impress, which means show to other people how good, how great you are, impress people. Yeah, good enough, good enough. Or you keep comparing yourself, keep comparing yourself to others. When you compare, you look at other people and think a little bit about them and yourself and think who's better here, who's worse and so on. Compare yourself. And that's your motivation. That is your motivation. Could be, could be. Or maybe it is just fun. And you get a kick, you get a kick out of it, which means it gives you this positive energy and you want to come back, you want to come back to doing that. Maybe it is like that. Maybe it is. But whatever the motivation, whatever the motivation is and however, however you struggle sometimes, I'm sure and you know that too, you will come back again and again. And you will feel motivated again and again.Because you know that not doing is much, much worse than doing. And this is what we really need to know here. So do things.Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!-------------------------------------------Intro/Outro Music By:Joakim Karud -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Longing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠License:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠

• #103 LukeLikes「Sunday」

  Luke Likes 'Sunday'It is a Sunday today. No work, no busy morning, no rushing out of the house, no big lists of things to do, No meetings, lessons, no traffic and busy streets. No shopping and no spending, money. And also no worrying that you're gonna be late and no worrying that you're gonna miss an appointment or forget about something important. No things like that. Sunday.Sleeping in, so sleeping a little longer. Then having breakfast a little later. Taking your time because nowhere to go. Listening to some music, to a podcast, maybe using social media a little, just taking your time, with your coffee. Just relaxing, sitting comfortably in an armchair. No need to hurry. No thinking about anything really. No thinking about problems, no problems on this day. Then the noon, maybe a little walk outside, taking your dog out for a longer walk, a longer stroll in the park. Slowly, without hurrying, looking around, noticing things. Noticing the weather and the nature. It's pretty cold and rainy, but no worrying about that, no worrying about that today. It's Sunday, no need for that. Then a little reading or watching or listening. Nothing really important, just fun stuff, easy. Maybe meeting the family, hanging out a little, having dinner. Then coffee, maybe some cake. No hurrying anywhere, not busy at all. No gym today and no studying, and no working either and not thinking about what important things there are to do the next day. No stuff like that on this day. A nap in the afternoon, no setting an alarm, no need for that. A sofa and a warm blanket. And some soft light. In the evening, maybe a movie, maybe hanging out with a friend, a long bath. An evening with music and candles. Just slow, quiet, peaceful time.Only, I am not sure I can do that. I think I, I'm just different.Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!-------------------------------------------Intro/Outro Music By:Joakim Karud -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Longing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠License:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠
