#31. Recommendation for Making Declarations: Awaken the Power Hidden Within Yourself

Good morning.
I am Kokichi, a fundamentally lazy person.
I am a sloth.

This is sudden, but
do you announce the things you want to do or your goals?
Recently, I have started doing that
more than before. Just the other day, I even announced a deadline,
and now I'm thinking, 'Oh no, I've done it (sweat), there's no turning back now (lol)',
so I'm feeling a bit anxious.
But there is a certain effect hidden in this for enhancing your own power.
It has been covered extensively in business books and the like, so it might feel a bit late to bring it up,
but this time, I will write briefly on the theme of 'It's good to declare your goals!'
Thank you for your time.

Power up with the declaration effect!?

First of all, you might be wondering, what exactly is the declaration effect? To put it simply, it is as follows.

It seems that the consciousness of a person that appears on the surface (conscious mind) is only about 5-10% of the total, and the consciousness that is usually hidden and invisible (subconscious mind) accounts for an overwhelming proportion.
Therefore, it can be said that human actions and words are controlled by the subconscious mind. The declaration effect works on that 'subconscious mind'.
I am the same, but humans are easily tempted toward the 'lower path' of least resistance.
The 'declaration' acts as a contract with yourself that serves as both a brake and a stepping stone.

Personally,
it feels like gaining the power to act in exchange for imposing unfavorable conditions (pressure) on yourself.
is the feeling.

In HUNTER×HUNTER, it would be'Vows and Limitations',
and in Jujutsu Kaisen, it would be'Binding Vows',
wouldn't it? ...Am I wrong?
(To the fans, please be gentle about this...)

Since I started making declarations

I used to be one of those people who thought,
'What's the point of going out of your way to declare it?'
but at some point, I decided to take the plunge and make a declaration.
Making a declaration doesn't mean things will just progress on their own, but I do find myself concerned about what I've publicly stated.
Whether it's because I'm trying to align my words and actions, or because I don't want to be called a liar by others, the reason is a bit fuzzy, but once I've said it, I get the mindset of

'I have to do it!'

As I said at the beginning,
I am fundamentally a lazy sloth by nature.
I am aware that I am a person who won't move unless I dangle a carrot (goal) in front of my face and receive the whip (pressure) of people's gazes, so I am moving my limbs as hard as I can.
I believe that this process of 'declaring' has had a not insignificant positive influence on me.
Oh, but this effect might not mean much to a guy with a strong mentality who is all talk (lol).

How was it?
Honestly, I think 'declaring' is a hassle, and since no one is expecting anything, isn't it fine? I actually used to think that way too.
But aren't there things you've given up on precisely because the situation was something you could complete entirely within yourself?
That is one choice, but

if you thought you wanted to do it at that time, I want to at least connect it to execution!

With that thought, I decided to make declarations. There are times when I think I shouldn't have said such things, but even while thinking that, my hands haven't stopped.To you out there who have something you want to do but can't quite get started!Why not make a 'declaration contract' with the black-hearted angel Kokichi and get a buff? (lol)

Thank you for reading until the end.
It encourages me to update,so if you thought, 'Maybe I'll incorporate the declaration effect into my life',
