My mind can be my worst enemy.

I was laying in bed last night,

and I had fallen asleep,

and I kept waking up.

And you know what I was thinking about?

I was waking up because I could hear people in the hallway,

kind of coming in from a late night of partying.

And you know what the first thing that my mind defaulted to?

There being a fire in the hotel.

And I started having these visions of my daughter and I going down the stairwell and getting trapped.

And then I had visions of us being on the balcony on this room and fire kind of engulfing.

And what are we doing?

Are we tying a rope?

I mean, it's just insanity, absolute insanity.

And I use the techniques that I teach you.

I went five, four, three, two, one.

I am not thinking about this.

And the thought disappeared because I constantly reset my mindset.

And, you know, one of the reasons why I'm telling you this is if you are tired of feeling negative,

if you feel often that your own thoughts are the things that trip you up in life,

that you wish that your mind were more positive,

I'm telling you that I'm the same way.

Just because I teach this stuff,

just because I study this,

just because I do what I do for a living doesn't make me immune to what it means to be human.

And what it means to be human is that your brain and your body want you to survive.

Your brain and your body remember situations that scare the daylights out of you.

Your brain and your body try to talk you out of anything that makes you feel risky.

And your brain, given that it has been trained by situations in the past

and given that you allow it to worry all the time,

you have a habit of doing it.

If you're not careful and you're not deliberate,

your brain will default to scary crap like mine was last night.

That doesn't mean you're broken.

It means that your brain is thinking something that's broken

and it's time for you to reset your mindset and pull it back.

If you're somebody that suffers from anxiety,

first of all, here's what you need to know.

It's not a disease.

Period.

It's not a disease.

So here's what you need to understand.

Anxiety always begins with a worry.

Always.

It begins with a thought that is triggered by something.

So if you suffer from anxiety,

you wake up in the morning and your mind spins,

you lay in bed at night and your mind spins,

you walk into work and you feel anxious in your body.

I want you to write down all the things that trigger you to feel anxious.

Interestingly, another major trigger is being home or going home and that moment right before your partner walks in the door.

If you feel anxious when your partner's about to walk in or you're about to walk into your own home,

that is a major signal that you're in the wrong relationship.

That there is something incredibly off and you either need to get into counseling,

but that is one that we hear a lot about because you're walking into a situation that feels uncertain.

A lot of people, by the way,

had parents that were abusive or parents that were yellers.

So they also are experiencing ghosts from the childhood of it's five o'clock,

dad's about to come home and pour drink and everybody's on edge.

Yeah.

So write down the triggers, okay?

Because having kind of the triggers ahead of time will help

you come up with a plan for how you're going to catch yourself

when your mind defaults to the automatic ways that it thinks.

Then what I want you to write down next to the trigger is what exactly are you worried about?

So having the trigger and then the what do I worry about?

I worry that my boss is going to yell.

I worry that my partner's going to yell.

I worry that I'm going to get in trouble.

I worry that, you know,

my friends are going to laugh at me.

I worry that I'm going to be a whatever it may be.

Then what you're going to do is you're going to write down what I call an anchor thought.

An anchor thought is something that weighs you down and it makes you excited.

And so here's how the strategy works with the five second rule.

The next time you're in a situation,

and let's just use the example of pulling into your own driveway or your own apartment,

and maybe you've got issues with your boyfriend or girlfriend or your roommate and that makes you unsettled.

The second you pull in and you feel the trigger,

you're going to go five,

four, three, two, one, because I want to interrupt your mind from going into,

kind of like, what if I did this?

Then you're going to drop in the anchor thought of the last time that you and your roommate really got along well,

or the last time that you stood up for yourself and it went fine.

Or your puppy.

Yeah, or a puppy or whatever.

You're going to say, I'm so excited to deal with this.

Yeah.

And then you're going to get out of your car,

even though your body is going to feel a little unsettled and your mind's going to raise.

Go five, four, three, two, one.

If you start to like be like, but what?

And then walk in the door.

And what I'm teaching you to do is to not let your mind hijack you.

And it's very important because there's a very tight nexus between your habit of worrying

and spiraling your thoughts and the way your body starts to amp up.

And so we want to settle your mind so we don't agitate your body.

You got it?

Yeah.

100

And so if you start to practice that over and over and over and over and over and over and over again,

101

and for you 18-year-olds that are watching this,

102

use this with the nerves that you have about what you're going to do with your life.

103

Use this when you catch yourself worrying about college applications because worrying about the applications won't get them done.

104

Worrying about what your friends are doing won't make it happen.

105

Worrying about what you're gonna be doing when you're 25 or how you're gonna make money,

106

it's not gonna help you make money right now.

107

It's only gonna make you miserable.

108

So five, four, three, two,

109

one, cut off that habit.

110

That'll stabilize your body and then go to a vision of you at the age of 25,

111

driving a car that you think is cool and hanging out with a friend that's cool and saying to yourself,

112

I'm so excited because I know I'm gonna figure it out.

113

because you don't need to worry about that right now.

114

But it becomes a habit that destroys your year this year.

115

Just because you identify, and for me as a kid,

116

for whatever reason, I have my own version of feeling invisible and feeling like I'm not good enough.

117

And so my way of coping both with my anxiety and being a survivor of sexual abuse and wanting love,

118

which we all need, is I was like an overachiever.

119

And so I'm the kind of person that's super busy and a go-getter because it got me attention.

120

And if I was the one that was super busy and achieving,

121

I not only got praise,

122

but it also insulates you from other people not picking you because you're the one in a leadership role doing the picking.

123

And so there's a part of me at the age of 51 that is realizing that,

124

you know, these feelings of feeling unworthy and this hyper drive to try to achieve shit,

125

it's all coming from a place of feeling inadequate or like what I'm doing is not enough.

126

And so that's- Still, at 50,

127

having a talk show, having a best-selling book,

128

having the Audible originals, having the platform everywhere,

129

having the impact is still don't feel,

130

being the most booked female speaker in the world,

131

Like you still don't feel stupid.

132

It's annoying.

133

And human beings are annoying.

134

We are stuck with this wiring.

135

Like if you think about it,

136

like all of the crap you believe is probably a hangover from age zero to 10.

137

that as adults, we walk around thinking the same stuff we thought as kids.

138

And I can't stand that I feel that way.

139

But knowing it, it allows me to catch it before it has me,

140

before it stops me from having an event or writing that next book or taking a risk.

141

There's a lot of you that are running from things instead of running to things.

142

And that's a huge difference,

143

running from something versus running to something.

144

And so I want you to think about that for a minute

145

because you don't have to move across country to change your life.

146

And you don't have to do something drastic to experience drastic positive change.

147

And here's the thing about running away from your problems,

148

running away from your past.

149

Have you ever noticed that when you run away,

150

it tends to follow you?

151

You know, I used to have this problem in relationships.

152

And the reason why I had this problem is because I was a very unhappy person.

153

I didn't like myself truly as a person until probably four or five years ago.

154

I spent, as sad as this is,

155

I spent the first 46 years of my life really not liking myself,

156

really feeling like I wasn't a good person,

157

really questioning the sanity of people that that were in love with me

158

or that were friends of mine because I had such a low opinion of myself.

159

And it didn't matter.

160

You know, I was guilty not of moving from one city to another,

161

but I was guilty of moving from one person to another.

162

That I would literally get in a relationship,

163

I would be in a relationship for a year,

164

and then I would start to feel that unsettled feeling.

165

Because what happens after a year of being in a relationship?

166

Well, you got to start working on it.

167

It's no longer the thrill and the delight and it's new and you're dating.

168

Now it's just you and the person in your life.

169

There's nothing new about it.

170

And so all your old crap starts to show up.

171

And that's when you got to start to do the work.

172

And so it was about the year or the year

173

and a half mark in almost every single relationship that I would start getting that itchy feeling.

174

And the reason why I was getting that itchy feeling is because my past was now there.

175

This new relationship was no longer new and

176

so I was no longer distracted by it

177

and I was going to have to Deal with myself in order to be happy

178

And so what did I do for years not even just years decades everybody?

179

I'm not I'm not proud to admit this

180

But I would literally jump out of one relationship

181

and into another new one Because another new one would distract me from the fact that I was an unhappy person

182

True story

183

And I think a lot of you who are unhappy with yourselves are looking to move jobs

184

or looking to move the city that you live in or you're looking to change your relationship.

185

And the problem isn't where you live.

186

The problem isn't your job.

187

The problem isn't the person that you're with.

188

The problem is how you feel about yourself.

189

Thank you.

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.
