Shadowing-Übung: how to find your spark again. - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
It's been a very turbulent and emotional week for me.
2
I've been going through a lot of personal stuff, and it seems like everything in my life has done a complete 180,
3
and nothing feels the same anymore.
4
I've received a lot of bad news this week, and I'm just completely overwhelmed with work.
5
And to top it all off, I'm on my period.
6
I have just never felt so low in my life, but we are turning it around.
7
I don't know how, but I am on a mission to find my spark again.
8
And you are going to watch me do it because if you clicked on this video, then you're probably also very desperate to just feel normal again.
9
So take this as a sign and let's go find our sparks together.
10
You know, ironically, whenever I'm going through a really hard time in my life, I always seem to have a million things going on simultaneously.
11
Despite this week being one of the hardest weeks this year, it was also the busiest.
12
So I really didn't have time to curl up in a ball and feel sad.
13
I had a ton of events to go to
14
that I needed to show face at and that's one of the things about being a creator that you can't really hide.
15
Like I'm not going to pretend that my life is perfect
16
because clearly it's not but I do think
17
that in order to find your spark again you need to continue doing the things you were doing before.
18
I don't know what it is
19
but I feel like another reason I do not feel like myself is my makeup just does not look good.
20
I do the same thing I always do, but yeah, I just don't feel pretty.
21
Okay, I just need to shut up.
22
We're fine.
23
We're fine.
24
Even though it's hard to go outside and be around people when you're not feeling your best, it's necessary.
25
I needed to get out of the house and dive back into the things that make me happy, like hosting a dinner party for my friends.
26
I made these plans a week ago, and I wasn't gonna back out of them now, especially when people were counting on me.
27
If I'm being honest, it was actually freeing to distract myself with a gesture meant for someone else.
28
And when my friends came over, suddenly I wasn't thinking about my problems anymore.
29
All my fears and worries kind of evaporated, and my home was filled with laughter and conversation and the juiciest tea.
30
Maybe humor really is the best medicine.
31
And after tonight, being surrounded by my friends felt a little normal, like old times.
32
Good morning, guys.
33
It's the morning after my little girl dinner last night.
34
I actually feel like considerably better.
35
Maybe I've just had time to like sleep on everything
36
and my emotions but I really feel refreshed after spending some time with my girls.
37
We were laughing up a storm last night.
38
It was so funny.
39
We were also watching a little bit of the newest season of Love Island.
40
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing brain cells when I watch that show but it's entertaining.
41
What can I say?
42
Yeah I just wanted to like kind of reflect on last night
43
and like how it made me feel
44
and I know just like talking about my situation with my friends
45
and just having like other bodies in my apartment besides me was really nice
46
and it was honestly just refreshing to not like think about
47
my problems for a second even though they're still very much real i do think
48
that finding ways to distract yourself or just take your mind off of your concerns like temporarily is really helpful.
49
That being said, I still don't feel like 100% like myself.
50
I don't know if it's like stress
51
or the stuff that's going on with my personal life or the fact that I'm still on my period
52
and my body hurts like hell.
53
But I do have some more events to go to today.
54
Today's actually like my busiest day in a very long time.
55
I've got like four things going on today
56
but my friend just informed me last night when she was here
57
that today is gonna be like the worst thunderstorm in Chicago this year
58
which I was like because last week was already really bad
59
so how can this week be worse but today it's gonna be raining all day.
60
I think it's even raining right now.
61
So I just hope that all my stuff isn't canceled
62
because I was really looking forward to going to these things
63
and again I just like giving myself other things to think about besides my problems.
64
Despite the weather being absolutely abysmal today, I was reminded of something.
65
That the fastest way back to myself is to start noticing again.
66
The small, insignificant, yet beautiful things about life.
67
To tell you the truth, I don't just make videos because it's my job.
68
I love capturing the moments.
69
Before YouTube, I was always taking out my phone and recording the experiences I wanted to remember.
70
And this week, I've been capturing every moment using my phone cases from Case Coup.
71
As a content creator, I always end up fumbling around with my cameras while on the go.
72
That's why I really like the MagSafe Stand Coup case that allows me to easily prop up my phone wherever I am.
73
The Magic Stand can rotate 360 degrees, so I can use it in portrait, landscape, or even at an angle, and it stays exactly where I leave it.
74
So whether I'm filming videos, reviewing content, or video calling friends, I don't have to keep holding my phone the whole time.
75
Their Linkoo version is one of my favorites.
76
It comes with clip safe, which attaches directly to the phone case, and the buckle is fully hidden inside the case when not in use.
77
You can't see it or feel it, and it won't snag when I put my phone in my pocket.
78
So when I'm out and about, I can carry my phone all the time without worrying about it getting scratched in my bag.
79
Plus, the magnetic hold is really strong, so I never have to worry about my phone falling.
80
Even when I'm on the go, it stays firmly attached to the stand.
81
If you want to romanticize your life a bit more, I'll link my phone cases from Case Coup in the description.
82
Order now and get 30% off.
83
I'm not gonna lie guys, this day was absolutely so insane.
84
I think I was running on straight adrenaline at this point.
85
But what helped me get out of my funk was by saying yes to all these things, not knowing how they would turn out.
86
My friend Jessica I met for lunch is one of my longest friendships and she is the epitome of a girl boss.
87
I'll never forget what she told me this day.
88
She was like, Allison, I'm not even joking.
89
You need to be more conceited.
90
And I I was like, huh?
91
What do you mean?
92
She said, you downplay yourself way too much for how hard you've worked and how much you've built in your career.
93
You need to walk into every room being that bitch.
94
And you know what?
95
She's right.
96
Maybe the reason I've lost my spark is because I'm not celebrating myself enough.
97
I'm always looking for the next best thing without ever acknowledging everything I've done so far.
98
Our problems can seem so insurmountable and all consuming.
99
And when things are not going your way, of course it's easy to be negative.
100
But she reminded me that no matter how hard my life is right now, there is always a silver lining.
101
That even though I might not feel like my best all the time, that doesn't mean I'm any less valuable.
102
Oh my god, you guys, I am so tired.
103
Yesterday was definitely the busiest day I've had this year by far
104
and even though i'm freaking exhausted like it's 8 21 in
105
the morning i didn't sleep until like 12 30 last night i'm
106
so so tired but i've got another event to go to
107
and the place is like an hour away
108
so i have to leave early because i don't want to be late
109
but you know what it's with my girl alta again it's just an alta filled week
110
which i love so i'm not complaining just my sleep schedules a little bit all over the place
111
and if i'm talking kind of quiet right now it's because
112
cameraman is in the other room because he slipped over last night
113
but i just wanted to reflect on yesterday
114
and like i just want to be very real can i
115
be like transparent with you guys for a second here what
116
is in my hair dude i didn't have time to shower like i have to go soon
117
so it's gonna be a quick yap session i know it
118
might seem like i have it all together all the time
119
like i'm always going to these events i'm like always putting
120
myself out there meeting new people i seem very confident
121
but like when i go to these things i still feel very much imposter syndrome
122
and yeah like i've been doing youtube for over three years now
123
but i don't think
124
that feeling ever goes away like even people who you know don't have as many subscribers as me
125
or they've been doing this for longer like those things don't really matter i just feel imposter syndrome
126
because it's me and i feel like the reason i haven't really felt
127
that spark or i haven't felt like myself in a long time is
128
because i just get very into my head
129
and i really like overthink stuff like i'm very aware of how like other people perceive me out in public
130
and i'm seeing like the same people at like these events now so i just like think about how they perceive me, I guess, if they have a good impression of me.
131
And I think the longer I do this, the more I like want to, I guess, quote unquote, stay humble.
132
But guys, I literally just made a freaking video about that.
133
And I think I need to take a lesson out of my book and like be more proud of myself.
134
Or maybe just like I convinced myself mentally that like, oh, it's not a big deal.
135
It's not all that.
136
But it is.
137
It is a big deal.
138
I'm tired of us living in this like nonchalant era.
139
Like, what even is being nonchalant?
140
I think that just, like, shows you don't really care.
141
I hate nonchalant people.
142
Like, you need to express your emotions.
143
You need to, like, live in the moment.
144
Let yourself feel things for real.
145
I don't know why, but for some reason, the first, like, image that pops into my head when I think of nonchalant is Corbin from Love Island.
146
There's, like, a meme of him going around or, like, a trend where people, like, imitate his voice.
147
And it's kind of like, yo, Kenzie.
148
You know, I know you're still trying to explore your connections, but can I get a kiss it's very like chad you
149
know what i think this period of my life despite it being like mentally challenging
150
and i have a lot of fears about what's gonna happen in the future
151
and like again personal stuff that i won't get into
152
but is very near and dear to my heart like it's been good
153
because it just it like makes you appreciate more stuff
154
and i think the key to like getting back into your
155
old self it's kind of like arbitrary i think i've always
156
been like authentic to myself maybe i don't feel 100 every day
157
but that's obviously normal i mean nobody feels like 100 in
158
perfect physical health mental health whatever dude i literally feel my frontal lobe developing right now i turned 25 this year.
159
So this is a big year for my brain.
160
Maybe for my birthday, I should have a brain cake, like in the shape of a brain.
161
Last year, I did one for when I hit 100,000 subscribers.
162
But who knows, maybe this year we'll celebrate a full, fully developed mental complex.
163
But it makes me feel less alone when I talk to people who are also going through a hard time right now.
164
Or also you guys who tell me you feel the same way
165
and you relate to the stuff I say in my videos.
166
Even though we all live different lives, I do think at our core, like most humans are all the same.
167
Although I was so physically tired today after yesterday's bender, a part of me felt refreshed.
168
Not because all my emotions and worries magically disappeared overnight, but I realized that this entire week I've been proving something to myself.
169
That I can keep showing up, getting dressed, and saying yes.
170
I can find little pockets of joy even though I don't feel great internally
171
and maybe that's what finding your spark actually is.
172
I don't think it's about trying to feel like your normal self again
173
or waiting for the burst of inspiration to hit you.
174
It's continuing to do the things that align with you.
175
It's about digging deeper into who you are as a person.
176
My whole life, I've been chasing other people's approval, wanting everyone to think highly of me
177
and maybe that's why I've lost my spark because I've been living my life for other people's eyes.
178
So instead of thinking about everything that was weighing me down, I asked myself a different question.
179
What would make today just 10% better?
180
Not how do I fix my life, but what would make today just a little more exciting?
181
Maybe it's wearing a different outfit that makes you feel pretty, trying a new coffee, taking the long way home.
182
Because finding your spark again doesn't come from you doing the same things you've always done, but it's from forward momentum, growing into a bigger and better person than you once were.
183
If you've been feeling off lately or unhappy with the way things are, remember that you always have the power in every situation.
184
No one can tell you how to feel or what to think.
185
You have complete autonomy over your life and I think that's the best news ever.
186
The person you were yesterday does not exist anymore, so stop trying to chase after her and welcome a new version of yourself every day.

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.
