Shadowing Practice: How to de-Stress ♥ - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello!

What's up guys?

I'm assuming you clicked on this video because you're probably feeling stressed out, a lot of anxiety, maybe just,

you know, you're upset about something, whatever it is.

I wanted to make this video to remind you guys that it's okay to feel stressed.

It's very natural.

But the thing is, you can't feel stressed all the time.

Even something like this, a phone, a machine messes up.

And remember guys, we also have a lot of stress have to charge these things, they don't just run on forever.

Even they need a break.

And so if something like a cell phone, a machine needs a break, imagine us.

We need to give ourselves time to relax, to recharge, to find and seek that inner peace.

This day and age where everything is moving so fast

and we're always wanting to be in the know and we're trying to keep up with everything, there's this pressure to always be on.

But there's nothing wrong with just turning everything off.

I admit, sometimes I can be the biggest hypocrite.

If there was such thing as a workaholic anonymous, I would be the first person there.

Hi, my name is Michelle and I'm addicted.

I'm addicted to working and I'm always stressed out.

So I had to teach myself throughout the years how to just slowly unwind and find that path towards relaxation.

And if I can do this guys, you can too.

So I really hope you enjoy my personal tips.

Alright, turn off your phone.

I know it's hard but you gotta unplug.

Think of it like a digital detox.

A hot bath is a great way to kick things off.

Making bubbles, adding oils, minerals, or even a bath bomb, like this little guy, into the water can bump up the soothing factor.

Sometimes we forget or we're too busy to find the time to take care of ourselves, but with the right music,

candles and oils, you can turn your own bathtub into your very own luxury spa.

If you're not much of a bath person, hot water can still play an important role.

A nice warm drink like tea, hot chocolate, or even lemon water can soothe stress away.

you Soup helps sweat out toxins from your body.

Chicken, cabbage soup, ramen, and my favorite pho are my go -to de -stressing food.

Every once in a while, take your time when you're eating.

I'm sure you have moments when you can only eat on the go, or you only have five minutes to spare.

But try to dedicate one meal a day where you can really sit and enjoy the meal.

Because food is healing and a blessing.

Don't forget to make time for fun.

Whether it's reading, playing games, watching a movie, a show, I forget my personal stress in no time.

Reconnect with yourself by doing something you love.

This is why finding your passion is important.

Everyone has one, and if you think you don't, well, you haven't looked hard enough.

Try as many things as you can, and don't be afraid of being bad at it.

At least it'll steer you in the right direction on what you're truly gifted in.

Did you know that the right scent can really help your psychological and physical well -being?

They call it aromatherapy.

And there's different ways to try it out, like lighting scented candles.

Have you ever tried incense?

No?

Well, it's not just for religious or ceremonial uses.

It serves a variety of purposes like aromatherapy, meditation, and more.

And there's different types of incense that you can try out.

Like this one here.

It's a direct burning incense where it requires a separate heat source like this piece of charcoal.

And once it's hot enough, you can add loose resin on top of it and it'll slowly create this lush fragrant smoke.

Another form of aromatherapy, using essential oils.

You can apply on your pulse points like your wrist and neck, and sometimes if I want to bump up the intensity, I'll apply on my forehead and heart.

My favorite, find time to meditate.

Alone time and quiet introspection can really help.

I like to use chimes or soothing sounds for my meditation, like this Tibetan singing bowl.

It's my ultimate chill -out instrument.

And if you don't have a singing bowl, you can still tune into your favorite calming sounds like nature and instrumentals.

Trust me, the right music can help you chill out.

What's your go -to chill -out song?

You want to take this time to breathe, taking long deep breaths.

Just let your thoughts go, focusing on keeping your mind still.

And if you need extra help, animals and nature have been known to heal people.

This cat here is my ultimate stress relief, and here's why.

I think everybody has a kind of stress.

Everybody goes under pressure.

It can be at home, it can be at work, it can be even at school.

The stress comes very early in our lives.

And we tend to forget that something as simple as just, you know, paying attention to animals, caressing them, and having fun with them, you know, spending time with them.

You understand that it just relaxes you.

It has something very magical almost.

When in fact it's just natural.

Please let me know because sharing is caring.

I'd like to know and I will see you guys on my next video

Bye good luck

Don't stress out everything will be okay and check out this kitten therapy video if you want to smile and relax

In the bones or in the core of my heart.

Isn't it scary?

We hide and seek, seek and find, then we lose it all, so we're bound to leave it all behind.

Bye!

Good luck everyone!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
