You're listening to the Life Coach School podcast with Brooke Castillo, episode number 473.

Welcome to the Life Coach School podcast,
3
where it's all about real clients,
4
real problems, and real coaching.
5
And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brooke Castillo.
6
Hey, beautiful friends.
7
I'm excited about this topic today.
8
Every once in a while,
9
I have like a personal question that I'm living with for my own life.
10
And I go back and forth in conversations with myself,
11
trying to understand what my own answers are to the question.
12
So I love a question that I don't yet know the answer to.
13
I'm like, huh, it really makes me think about my life
14
and who I am and who I choose to be and my identity and my personality.
15
And one of the things I have been tossing around in my head is the kind of person
16
that I am and who I've always been and enjoyed
17
and whether or not I kind of want to change that part about myself.
18
And it has to do with tolerance and having a high level of tolerance and a low level of tolerance for things.
19
And I've been thinking about the idea of tolerance kind of philosophically in a way that makes me go, huh?
20
Because typically, I think in a lot of ways,
21
people with a high tolerance level are just more chill.
22
They're just more easygoing.
23
They're just like not bothered by things.
24
And in many ways, I think it's easier for them to be kind.
25
It's easy for them to be non-reactive.
26
It's easy for them to get along with people if you have a high level of tolerance.
27
But I also think
28
that a high level of tolerance will allow unacceptable behavior from people around us that could actually be harmful,
29
that could put us in situations with other people
30
that maybe we shouldn't be in because it's not the best environment for us.
31
And so how do we balance between being tolerant of bad behavior,
32
being tolerant of people being rude,
33
being tolerant of people expressing their ideas with aggression or with,
34
I don't know, racism, with belligerence, that sort of thing.
35
Should we be tolerant of those things or not?
36
And what things should we be tolerant of and what things we shouldn't, right?
37
It's a pretty big question and applies to a lot of different things in our lives.
38
And in many ways, I've been thinking about it in terms of demanding excellence
39
and demanding the best performance from my employees or the people around me,
40
or just being, you know, it's no big deal.
41
So I can give you some examples for my own life
42
and things that I have been like seriously questioning whether I should be more tolerant and more chill,
43
or whether I should be hardcore,
44
intense, and have a low tolerance for these things.
45
And one of the reasons why I think I grapple with this question
46
so much is I think I've been around people whom are very tolerant of things not being great,
47
of things not being excellent,
48
of things not being even like working well in their lives,
49
and just kind of, it doesn't really matter.
50
And when I look at that,
51
I feel like there's a tolerance for mediocrity.
52
There's a tolerance for kind of this low grade dissatisfaction.
53
And I actually think it's riding the edge of one side of kind of danger,
54
if we're going to use kind of an intense word,
55
versus the other side where people have no tolerance for anything
56
that isn't exactly the way they want it and they lose their mind
57
when any little thing happens to go quote unquote wrong.
58
And how do we find and ride the balance in the middle of that where we're tolerant of the person,
59
but not of the behavior or not of the situation?
60
Because I kind of play around with this a little bit in my own life where I maybe with an employee,
61
I'll be like, oh, it's no big deal.
62
Oh, it's no big deal,
63
oh, it's no big deal,
64
and then it just keeps happening.
65
Versus when someone makes a small mistake and I say to them,
66
listen, this isn't going to be okay.
67
You can't be making mistakes like this ever.
68
Like this is not acceptable as someone who works for me doing this sort of thing.
69
And then it never happens again,
70
even though it's kind of like a very low level of tolerance for mistakes,
71
I think creates a much higher level of excellence.
72
But this low level of tolerance creates an environment that's very different than a high level of tolerance.
73
A high level of tolerance creates a very relaxed employee who feels much more comfortable,
74
probably more at ease, probably more enjoyment in terms of everyday functioning.
75
Whereas if I am treating an employee with a very low level of tolerance in a kind way,
76
but in a strict way,
77
like this can't happen, I feel like they may be more on edge,
78
more nervous, less comfortable around me,
79
but also achieving at a higher level,
80
which brings a level of enjoyment.
81
And
82
that is what I have heard from many of my employees
83
who work at a higher level than they've ever been asked to work at before.
84
And that brings them another different type of comfort and joy.
85
And I see this in my own life with being around people who are more demanding and less tolerant of nonsense,
86
of things that don't work,
87
or of maybe high expectation teachers,
88
high expectation authority figures in our lives.
89
And so I was having this conversation with my partner the other day,
90
and we were talking about,
91
should I be more tolerant of things that aren't working?
92
And should I be more tolerant of losing at things?
93
Would that serve me better?
94
Or should I remain less tolerant of those things and demand excellence of myself and of other people?
95
And here's the truth.
96
There is no right answer.
97
And I don't think one brings me or anyone a deeper level of happiness.
98
It's a trade-off, right?
99
So for example, in my home, everything works.
100
There's nothing that you're gonna try and do.
101
There's no button you're gonna try and press
102
or piece of equipment you wanna turn on or use or whatever that doesn't work.
103
Everything works.
104
I have a low level of tolerance for any kind of clutter,
105
any kind of item in my house that isn't actually functioning the way it's meant to be functioning.
106
To me, that is very important.
107
I have been to tons of friends' homes,
108
acquaintances' homes that have a myriad of things in the home that are broken,
109
that don't work, that half work,
110
that they've never used, that they don't have the instructions for.
111
So I'll see something and be like,
112
oh my God, this is so cool.
113
And they'll be like, oh, that doesn't work.
114
And I'm like, what?
115
And they just have, it doesn't bother them that it doesn't work.
116
It's not a big deal that it doesn't work.
117
They're very tolerant of it.
118
Same thing, like I've talked about this a lot,
119
I think in terms of games and my level of,
120
my tolerance for losing a game, any game.
121
If I play a game,
122
I want to win that game.
123
Now, I notice that some people can play games and they don't care if they win or lose.
124
They seem so happy either way.
125
I'm fascinated by this, fascinated.
126
And there's this part of me that feels like I wanna be more like that.
127
Being upset over losing something is such a bummer.
128
I don't wanna be upset.
129
I wanna be like, ah, that's what happens.
130
Sometimes we lose, it's okay.
131
and I'm genuinely not.
132
Like we just watched the Kings game,
133
Kings game seven, that's a basketball team out of Sacramento.
134
They were playing the Warriors and the genuine nervousness I have watching a game like that,
135
how I feel in my stomach and how badly I feel when we lose is a little bit ridiculous in some ways.
136
I just don't have a tolerance for it and watching my son play golf and watching him try and win And him,
137
you know, when he loses,
138
it's very difficult for me to just be like,
139
oh, that's a right kid.
140
You gave it your best shot.
141
Like the two of us together are just devastated by this.
142
We just don't have a tolerance for it.
143
And I think that I like that about myself in many ways.
144
And I don't like it either.
145
I like that I'm always striving for better.
146
I like that I want to win.
147
I like that I demand excellence for myself and other people.
148
But I also don't like how it makes me feel more on edge and more intense than I think is often necessary.
149
And so the answer that I've come up with,
150
and hopefully I can help you do it too,
151
because I think a lot of us who demand excellence from ourselves and other people,
152
who want things to work,
153
who want to always be bettering ourselves,
154
who want to always win.
155
I think that we can find a middle ground or even a kind of two-thirds ground that will make our lives easier,
156
that will make us calm down,
157
not be reactive, be more tolerant of other people who aren't like us,
158
who aren't as intense, who aren't as hardcore
159
and not feel like we're giving up the essence of who we are
160
and settling for something that's less than what we ultimately want.
161
And so for some of you,
162
you may use a different word besides tolerance.
163
Maybe you, you, you know,
164
I was using the words like easygoing,
165
chill, not bothered versus hardcore intense with a low tolerance.
166
And, and is it good or bad?
167
And is there a time and place for all of it?
168
And so one of the things
169
that I have decided as I've kind of been living within this question is
170
that I do want to be more tolerant and I never wanna give up striving for excellence.
171
And is there a really amazing mixture of being easygoing,
172
hardcore, chill and intense and a combination of a low tolerance for bad behavior from myself and for others,
173
but not bothered by things that don't really matter to me?
174
And I think the answer is yes.
175
I think there is a cool combination of both of those where we don't have to pretend.
176
And that for me is the most important thing because listen,
177
if I lose a game,
178
I can pretend that I don't care,
179
that I just lost at Monopoly,
180
but I do care that I just lost at Monopoly,
181
even though they're six years old and I lost at Monopoly.
182
I really care.
183
And so can I care that I lost without overreacting,
184
without being unnecessarily intense, with being easygoing,
185
and also with wanting to continue to try and win in every way that I can,
186
but not in a way where I'm not even enjoying the process or enjoying my own behavior.
187
And I think I have a tendency,
188
and knowing this about myself,
189
I have a tendency to err on the side of being too intense
190
and having too high of expectations and too overreacting when they're not fulfilled.
191
And knowing that, knowing that I have a very low tolerance for all of those things helps me kind of manage myself,
192
like having that understanding.
193
I can manage myself and say,
194
okay, Brooke, you're probably always going to err on the side of being too intense.
195
So dialing that down will probably never cost you excellence.
196
It probably won't ever cost you the kind of intense life that you want to live,
197
but it also might help you release from having to win everything or being so upset by everything.
198
And the last podcast that I did,
199
where you could really look at defeat and like really understanding how to deal with defeat,
200
is kind of part of this question.
201
And how do we move forward and never beat ourselves up
202
and always love ourselves through the process and always be encouraging ourselves to grow,
203
but not in a way that's kind of,
204
I don't know, patronizing to our own capability and where we're not gonna all of a sudden just think everything's fine.
205
This is like one of my fears, like everything's fine.
206
No one needs to worry about anything.
207
I'm not upset about anything.
208
nothing bothers me.
209
I like genuinely want things to bother me.
210
When something's broken in my house,
211
I want that to bother me.
212
When I don't win, I want that to bother me.
213
I just don't want it to bother me so much
214
that I'm constantly trying to outrun my own losses and my own broken items and my own things at my own expense.
215
So here are a couple of questions that I'm going to use
216
and maybe you could use when you're trying to be more tolerant in your own life.
217
And for some of you,
218
you may have the opposite problem.
219
You may want to be less tolerant of having everything be broken in your house
220
or having people mistreat you or have people talking to you in an unacceptable tone of voice,
221
that sort of thing.
222
Maybe you want to err on the other side of this equation
223
and be less tolerant and more kind of bothered
224
and hardcore about your own boundaries and about what kind of behavior you will accept.
225
Maybe it's from your employees,
226
maybe it's from your children,
227
maybe it's from your family or friends, whatever.
228
So you know who you are.
229
You know if you're too easygoing,
230
so it's like at your own expense,
231
or if you're too intense at your own expense.
232
So here are some questions that we can all ask to kind of help us kind of ride that middle ground,
233
I think, is does this really matter to me and why?
234
So let's say someone is talking to you
235
or someone's showing up late all the time
236
or talking to you in a mean tone of voice
237
or calling you at all hours and demanding that you pick up the phone, something like this.
238
and you're tolerating that behavior and you're tolerating putting up with it.
239
And you ask yourself, does this really matter?
240
Do I actually care that this person is doing this?
241
And if the answer is yes,
242
then you can decide I want to be more intense here.
243
I wanna be more verbal here.
244
I wanna be less accepting here.
245
I know that sounds crazy,
246
but I wanna be less tolerant,
247
less accepting and more bothered in this situation.
248
Or if the answer is no,
249
this doesn't matter to me at all.
250
Like, I don't want this to bother me.
251
I don't want to be intense about this.
252
I don't want to be hardcore about this.
253
Because for example, for me,
254
like I'm very bothered when I don't perform at the level.
255
And I'm very bothered when people,
256
you know, especially people that work for me don't do what they say they're going to do,
257
or they don't think through things before they do them.
258
So that's like, I want to be bothered when they don't do that.
259
But there's other things that like people making fun of me,
260
people talking about me, making comments on the internet,
261
people being rude to me or whatever.
262
Like that stuff, I just don't want any of it to bother me.
263
It makes me feel disempowered.
264
I want to feel powerful in my own right.
265
That stuff doesn't matter to me.
266
So that's the first question.
267
Does this matter to me?
268
Why?
269
Or maybe why not?
270
and what action do I wanna take in my life to demonstrate more tolerance or less tolerance in this area?
271
And that's it.
272
And I have really grown a lot thinking about this question and deciding who I wanna be.
273
It makes me feel like super empowered.
274
Like I can just be a person who isn't bothered by certain things.
275
And one of the things that the podcast let me do like in the last podcast
276
that I created is it just helped me turn situations where I have a low tolerance,
277
where I'd be super bothered into learning opportunities,
278
where instead of being just mad and upset about a defeat,
279
I can use it as an opportunity to learn.
280
And instead of being mad about how I'm allowing someone to treat me,
281
I can use that as an opportunity to develop a lower level of tolerance for being treated that way
282
and to use that as a learning opportunity to grow who I am as a human.
283
One of the things that's happened for me as I've turned 50 and I feel like I'm at my midlife,
284
I'm at halfway through my life,
285
so to speak, is really questioning who I am
286
and who I want to be on the regular and feeling empowered to make that decision.
287
And I will say I'm making a decision to be more tolerant in some ways with myself
288
and with other people and with situations.
289
And after I've made that decision,
290
I have had people in my life,
291
it's so fascinating, like so many people in my life just being like,
292
whoa, what has happened to you?
293
What is going on?
294
And I had one person say,
295
are you losing your touch?
296
Are you losing your edge?
297
And I'm like, maybe a little bit.
298
Maybe I'm losing a little bit,
299
but I think it's worth that sacrifice in order to be a little bit more chill more of the time.
300
I'm never going to lose my fire.
301
I'm never going to lose my ambition.
302
I'm never going to lose my kind of demanding of excellence,
303
but I am going to be a little bit more tolerant and a little bit more chill.
304
And that feels good to me.
305
So let me invite you to do the same.
306
Look around at your life.
307
Where are you being too tolerant?
308
Where are you putting up with too much nonsense?
309
And where in your life are you really being too bothered and having a low level of tolerance?
310
Ask yourself, does this really matter and why?
311
And what action steps can I take?
312
And of course, that's going to come from your thoughts originally to be more tolerant or less tolerant in this area.
313
I hope this is as useful of a question to you as it was to me.
314
It's been a life changer for me.
315
Have a beautiful week, everyone.
316
I'll talk to you next week.

Kontext & Hintergrund
In dieser Episode des Life Coach School Podcasts setzt sich die Gastgeberin, Brooke Castillo, mit dem Thema Toleranz auseinander. Sie reflektiert über ihre eigenen Gedanken und Fragen zur Toleranz im Alltag und deren Auswirkungen auf das persönliche und soziale Leben. Die Diskussion beginnt mit der Überlegung, was Toleranz wirklich bedeutet und wie sie das Verhalten gegenüber anderen beeinflusst. Brooke beleuchtet die Balance zwischen akzeptabler Verhaltensweise und dem Verlangen nach Exzellenz im Umfeld. Dies bringt die Zuhörer dazu, über die eigene Toleranz gegenüber verschiedenen Lebenssituationen nachzudenken und sich zu fragen, wo die Grenzen liegen sollten.
Top 5 Phrasen für die tägliche Kommunikation
- „Wie gehe ich mit unakzeptablem Verhalten um?“ – Eine wichtige Frage, die viele stellen sollten.
- „Ich denke, dass Menschen mit einer hohen Toleranz einfacher sind.“ – Eine Beobachtung über den Charakter von tolerantem Verhalten.
- „Wie setze ich meine Standards, ohne intolerant zu wirken?“ – Ein Balanceakt zwischen Toleranz und Anspruch.
- „Wir müssen über die Grenzen der Toleranz sprechen.“ – Eine Aufforderung zur Diskussion über persönliche Grenzen.
- „Was bedeutet es, tolerante Einstellungen zu zeigen?“ – Eine Einladung zur Reflexion über eigene Werte.
Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung
Um Ihre Englischkenntnisse zu verbessern und effektiv das Englisch Sprechen üben zu fördern, empfehlen wir die folgende Vorgehensweise, basierend auf diesem Podcast:
- Hören Sie die Episode aufmerksam an: Konzentrieren Sie sich auf die Hauptthemen, die behandelt werden. Machen Sie sich Notizen zu Phrasen, die Ihnen wichtig erscheinen.
- Wählen Sie eine kurze Passage: Nehmen Sie sich einen Abschnitt, in dem Brooke eine Frage stellt oder eine Beobachtung teilt, die Ihnen ins Auge fällt. Dieser Abschnitt sollte nicht länger als 1-2 Minuten sein.
- Shadowing praktizieren: Hören Sie sich die Passage mehrmals an. Wiederholen Sie dann den Text im Takt zu Brooke. Achten Sie auf ihre Betonung und Intonation, um ein möglichst authentisches shadow speech zu erreichen.
- Wiederholen, bis es fließend ist: Üben Sie mehrmals, bis Sie sich wohlfühlen und die Sätze flüssig nachsprechen können. Dies wird dazu beitragen, Ihre Aussprache und Ihr Hörverständnis zu verbessern.
- Reflektieren Sie über die Themen: Denken Sie über die Inhalte nach, die diskutiert wurden. Welche Themen resonieren mit Ihnen, und wie können Sie diese in Ihren Alltag integrieren? Nutzen Sie das Gelernte, um Ihre Englischkenntnisse im Alltag anzuwenden.
Indem Sie diese Schritte befolgen und regelmäßig Englisch Shadowing praktizieren, können Sie Ihre Sprachfähigkeiten verbessern und sich in Diskussionen über komplexe Themen wie Toleranz besser artikulieren. Nutzen Sie auch verschiedene shadowing sites, um eine Vielzahl von Themen zu erkunden und Ihre Fähigkeiten kontinuierlich auszubauen.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
