My Chinese New year's resolution

Lunar New year in Coming. In the last weekend. I did many housework such as sweeping the floor, clearing useless stuff and wipe the stubborn oily stains in range hood,etc.

There are still lots of housework not yet finished. But one thing is more important, what's my News year's resolution? In the past, my wishes were either too ambitious or too abstract. For now, my wish is quite concrete. I wish to improve my language skills. How to improve it? Just one word: "Effortless". I wish to listen English effortlessly. I wish to write English effortlessly. When I am listening, reading or writing, I wish the process is so natural that I am not aware I am learning or practicing English. I am just communicating. I am either receiving some interesting messages or expressing my feelings and views.

Training my intuitive mind to speak out and write down English promptly. That means I should engage my right brain and let my left brain takes a rest. When I grow up, I have been trained to use my left brain heavily for criticizing, finding out mistakes and cough out words slowly, carefully. It is a frustrating process as the flow of idea is always blocked ruthlessly. This problem also occurs in my Chinese(my native language) writing and speaking. I am good at Chinese writing but I find it is a painful torture. I always swallow the word when I criticize it is not precise enough. Therefore, "Effortless" is my target. Please communicate effortlessly first, and let the refinement comes later.
