2
I had to improve myself in other ways. and today  I'm going to tell you about them today I'm going to talk about my personal tips that have helped  me number one why is no one talking about second
3
puberty I noticed my femininity and my beauty at  the age of 22 just recently you have to relax and stop pushing yourself too hard you have to stop  thinking that you can change in a short period
4
of time also if you're a teenager now for example  you don't have to forget that you're growing and you're changing I started talking about puberty  because after my first puberty it was like maybe
5
about 13 14 years old I changed so much but my  second puberty hit me so hard when I was 22 23
6
so now I look very different my face my body I  look more feminine I feel myself more beautiful and you have plenty of time to change for the  better so stop worrying about it. sometimes I
7
receive messages from teenage girls and they're  asking me how can they be prettier how can they become better. girls please just relax just live  your life eat delicious food study hang out with
8
your friends read books I know that many girls  at this age they're also on a restrictive diet which is very bad very very bad. your body is  still growing you don't have to force yourself
9
to look super different right now improve your  inner beauty stay care of yourself but not try to be someone else if you're doing good for  yourself you will change anyway my second tip
10
start mewing ASAP and the younger you are right  now the better it will be for you in the future I firstly discovered about mewing and I started  mewing when I was 16 years old I decided to give
11
it a try even though by that time there wasn't  many information about it I so happy and grateful that I started doing that because that really  changed my appearance it has made my jaw my
12
neckline and my profile more shapely and beautiful  it works also if you have problems with your teas I advise you to go and visit a doctor and have  a consultation with your dentist when I was 14
13
years old I also started to wear braces and I wore  braces twice in my life braces also change your face my bite wasn't correct so I fixed my bite  and that's why especially after the second time
14
that I wore braces my face really changed so as  you can see what can make you more attractive is the health of your teeth maybe a year ago or two  I fixed my teeth and this was the best decision in
15
in my life just looked how it has changed my face  I mean number three start exercises from today if you don't like to exercise you should find a type  of sport that you will be comfortable with weight
16
training yoga pilates or just walking or biking a  healthy body is a healthy mind and this is the key of the body confidence it boosted my confidence a  lot and working out is my anti-stress every time
17
when I go to gym and come back home I feel so  happy when you see yourself in the mirror and when you see how your body is changing for the  best you also feel so good you feel very proud of
18
yourself because you're doing such a hard work not  many people can work on their body you guys not many people can do that not many people can change  their body can work on their mind and when you see
19
the progress you feel amazing the confidence boost  that I have is just crazy and I just love myself even more I working on my body and it's looking  better and better just imagine how it will impact
20
you and how confident you will feel it's good for  your health it extends your life it makes you even more beautiful number four I really wanted to talk  about this one I noticed that not only me but also
21
many of my friends they have this problem learn  how can you relax your face muscles for the first time I heard about it from my dentist I was told  that my jaw muscles are so intense that I have to
22
wear some special orthodontic device and I have  to do some massage to relax this muscles after I got a prescription from my dentist and after some  time my face got much smaller. I also learned to
23
do lymphatic drainage exercises every single day  it will help your body and your face and the last one for today I didn't know how to take pictures  of myself and I hated that when my parents or my
24
friends wanted to take a picture of me and I  didn't know that I can actually look beautiful in photos so what I want you to do I want you  to arrange a photo shoot for yourself with a
25
good photographer try to open yourself explore  yourself and look at yourself from different angles it's very fun to play with different looks  with different photographers because each of them
26
they have their own look at you it doesn't matter  if you want to be a model or not it doesn't matter if you have an account on Instagram or not just do  it for yourself go and print those pictures after
27
the photo shoot put them on your wall and look at  them yeah that's you and thanks to videos that I'm filming thanks to pictures from my account I can  see my pluses and I can also see my minuses for
28

¿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.
