Shadowing Practice: How to Kill Every Limiting Belief and Become Unstoppable - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
Everything in your life is created from your thoughts.
2
If you can master the correct mindset, you can build the exact type of life that you want.
3
The number one issue that I think most of us struggle with is limiting beliefs.
4
You have to understand that as a human, you have been conditioned to believe certain things over time and the farther that you go in your life,
5
the more these conditioned beliefs start to compound
6
and it becomes extremely hard to break out of this jail cell of what you believe to be possible in your life.
7
If you want to have Kanye West level of self -belief, if you want to reach the optimized version of who you
8
are what you have to do is eliminate any type of negative thought
9
that pops up in your mind you need to throw it out right there's a quote
10
that i love
11
that says the first your first thought doesn't matter your second thought does you can't control
12
that first thought it's just going to pop in it can
13
be negative it could be hateful it could be whatever throw it out, your second thought is what matters.
14
Now, how do we do that?
15
How do we make sure that you're only having positive thoughts?
16
We need to reverse engineer this.
17
So if you lived a happy, fulfilling life where you achieved all your dreams, what would you be thinking every day?
18
You'd have a lot of gratitude.
19
You would be constantly thinking about how you've been able to do this the work
20
that you've put in your sense of self -belief would be very high and
21
so in other words you have essentially a fortified shop of
22
ideas that's that's the way i'll describe it you have a
23
shop of ideas in your head now you get to choose what type of idea you're going to shop
24
but guess what's not going to be available in the inventory any negative thoughts right and so
25
essentially how you do that is you actively consciously try to think positive thoughts
26
but more importantly everything you consume has to be positive you are what you consume
27
if you go on social media
28
and you just watch bitter hateful videos all the time what
29
do you think is going to happen you are going to turn into
30
that you are what you consume if you read books that are very degenerate.
31
If you, you know, the conversation that you're having with your friend, if they're negative, you will also become negative.
32
So what you need to do is you need to eliminate all these things.
33
And that is a choice.
34
My friends, that is a choice.
35
What happens is people have negative thoughts come up and they're like, well, I'm not the thinker of my thoughts.
36
I'm the observer.
37
And therefore I can't do anything, but your mind creates thoughts based off of what it's consuming
38
so i want you to eliminate all negative people in your life truly this may seem like cliche advice
39
but it's it's the reality eliminate negative people
40
but more importantly you need to completely turn off all bad content
41
that has a low vibration to it you need to
42
because the average american spends five to eight hours a day on their phone what percentage of content on social media,
43
do you guys think it's negative?
44
I would say it's probably 70 % because that's what sells.
45
Negativity sells.
46
Miserable people find miserable people.
47
You might not think that because you're just at your house
48
and you go to work and that's all you do that because of that, you're not a negative person.
49
You're not impacting other people's lives.
50
No, trust me.
51
Your brain is still very negative when you're just constantly consuming this,
52
I would almost say anti -spiritual slop.
53
It's not fruitful to your spirit to watch these political videos about everything terrible with the government
54
and war this and children are passing away that.
55
It's depressing and subconsciously you start to pick up on these things
56
and you start to act the same way i want to tell you guys the story so i'm from chicago
57
those of you
58
that are fans of my channel know this i have really
59
since i can remember i've always looked up to kanye west he's also from chicago that's why i say
60
that and as i've grown up i really would just i would watch these interviews of kanye
61
and i was just so addicted to the way
62
that he talked about himself he has this quote he says
63
when you're when you're a fan of me you're
64
or you're not a fan of me you're a fan of kanye
65
or wait i just botched that
66
when you're a fan of kanye west you're not a fan of me you're a fan of yourself i love
67
that quote he's saying that like
68
he operates at the frequency of self -belief you can do
69
the exact same thing it's just a matter of what are you feeling fueling your body with is it negativity
70
or is it positivity now
71
here's another thing that i've recently started to do
72
and it's worked wonders for me i literally will
73
when i go to bed every night i throw on as
74
cliche as it is i forgot what the actual name for it is
75
but it's basically like self -affirmations so that
76
when you fall asleep like subconsciously your brain is picking up
77
on the stuff that's saying like i believe in myself good things are going to happen to me
78
so on and so forth now most of you guys have probably heard of paranoia
79
but few people have heard of pronoia pronoia is the opposite of paranoia paranoia is thinking
80
that the world is out to get you pronoia is thinking
81
that everything in the world is working to help you right
82
if you like literally start to listen to things that are positive
83
that are reinforcing to yourself
84
that are going to help you grow your confidence over time it starts to build it seems ridiculous
85
but all those crazy crystal girls
86
that believed in manifestation their version of manifestation was absolutely wrong
87
they just think oh the universe is going to give me
88
something that's going to happen that's not how it works
89
but they're the foundation of what they believe where
90
if i think this thing is going to happen it will
91
that aspect of it is right you need to genuinely operate
92
at such a level where things are just going to go your way you need to think
93
that things are going to go your way you need to think
94
that people are out there and the universe is aligning god whatever you believe in
95
so that the odds are stacked in your favor not against your favor not everyone's out to get you
96
because sure are there actually people out there to get you.
97
Yeah.
98
But if you just relentlessly have a good attitude about things, it changes everything.
99
You control your attitude.
100
You do.
101
And the best skill to develop is the ability to stay
102
in a good mood in the absence of things to be in a good mood about.
103
So let's think about this.
104
If I call this the two world theory, this is my own theory.
105
There are two worlds that exist when a negative event happens.
106
Number one, you could sit there, complain, ruminate about it, get all upset.
107
Or number two, accept that that bad thing happened
108
and there's nothing you can do to change it and then move forward with at the bare minimum neutral, but ideally a positive attitude.
109
Which world do you want to live in?
110
So obviously the correct answer here is objectively the one with a good attitude.
111
But here's the thing about life.
112
Life is just a series of events that happens to you a lot of
113
which are out of your control and it's just life is your reaction to those events
114
so you could have let's let's say the negative attitude is world one the positive attitude is world two
115
if you have a life full of world two decisions that's going to be a positive life
116
if you have a life full of world one decisions that's
117
going to be a negative life in both lives the exact
118
same events happened the only difference was how did you approach
119
moving forward right i used to be a very negative person
120
i would listen to low vibrational music all the content i
121
was consuming was like oh it was like x y
122
and z terrible thing is happening in the world
123
and this group of people sucks and it was all of
124
that the books that i would read were more or less
125
tragic you know it's like a shakespeare play that's you know notoriously tragic
126
and i would sit in my room in the dark
127
and just like you know put on my headphones
128
and it's negative music it's it's you know hateful music it's
129
like rap music talking about hurting people negativity negativity negativity but
130
because you have agency and because you're a conscious person you think oh
131
that doesn't affect me well guess what all this stuff is being digested by your brain without you even realizing it.
132
And then it affects the way that you move forward.
133
So you have to control what is going in.
134
I feel like it's, it's, do you guys remember in school, in middle school, when you would learn about the inputs and outputs in math, it was like functions, right?
135
If you put in X as the input, you're going to get Y output, like those charts excuse me so
136
if your inputs are negativity hatred low vibrational bs a bunch
137
of slap what do you guys think the the outputs are
138
going to be like real like come on this is it
139
people are just absolutely brain dead to what's going on
140
and that's the worst part you have to actively choose what you are going to
141
invest into your body but what's going to happen is it's almost inevitable
142
that there are going to be these moments you're going to scroll
143
and it's going to be a negative video
144
and you're going to get hooked for a second
145
but here's here's what you do notice when you say i can't
146
or i'm not that kind of person notice when something is counter
147
and what i mean by counter i mean anything
148
that isn't going to help your confidence
149
and your self -belief i'm going to call counter notice
150
when any type of content is a counter it could be a video where somebody is
151
bashing trump right people love to hate on trump whatever i don't get into politics i'm not into all that
152
but you know i don't really want to watch these videos
153
of people bashing on trump biden republican democrat i don't care i don't want to watch these videos
154
because i don't want to feed my mind this garbage this slop this negativity
155
and it's hard to escape it right like our parents are stuck in this loop
156
because they watch the news
157
and news is negative negative negative dude you need to cut this mindset out immediately
158
so yeah analyze in in actively look for any counters ask
159
yourself these questions every time you have any type of negative thought is this objectively true
160
or is this something i've just repeated because just
161
because you have a thought doesn't mean it's based in reality
162
and then this is the this is the number one thing
163
that really changed in my life find counter evidence even very
164
small wins disprove negative beliefs i'm going to use the social media example
165
so i do social media and yeah i post a bunch of videos
166
and the majority of them flop and don't do anything but if i get one good video out of a 100,
167
then that video basically overtakes all the bad ones.
168
And everyone's going to focus on the fact that I had that one good one.
169
And that is a small win.
170
And guess what?
171
Whatever you're doing in your life, the more effort that you give and the more time that you put into it, you're going to get a little bit better.
172
So maybe it took me one in a hundred videos to go viral.
173
And then I get a little bit better and then it's one in 80.
174
And then I get a little bit better and it's one in 60, you know, and whatever your equivalent is of that is, let's say you want to be a ballerina you need to
175
get those the i don't even know what the terminology of ballerina is
176
but you need to get those twists
177
or turns you know more smooth well you're going to get a little bit better every day
178
and it's going to be so small that you don't notice it
179
but it's still going to exist
180
and eventually these small wins are going to disprove all the negative thoughts
181
so you need to take action you need to stop sitting and trying to analyze things and instead just take action
182
right and eventually you're going to have so much evidence built up over time
183
that you would actually have to be an idiot to not believe in yourself this is exactly what kanye west did
184
he would he he cut out all negativity he anytime
185
that somebody would would say something
186
that was like a counter he would check them on it
187
you can see it in his documentary i think it was called genius
188
or whatever he would literally like shut down people
189
that didn't believe in him he would he would like like actually confront them
190
and i just i love it it's just you're
191
so dedicated to yourself and what you're trying to build you need to make absolute sure
192
that you don't let anything slip between the cracks
193
because your subconscious mind is working over time and it's extremely powerful
194
and it's very hard to revert the effects
195
and as i said earlier at the beginning of this video things were conditioned
196
and things start to compound over time
197
but what you need to do is you need to chisel
198
away you need to chisel away at those break them down
199
confidence does not come from affirmations my friends you can you
200
need to listen to affirmations as i was saying before you should listen to it
201
when you're sleeping
202
but i'm saying it doesn't come from like just like looking yourself in the mirror every day
203
and saying i'm this i'm that because then you're going to leave the mirror
204
and then you're going to have negativity later on it what
205
you need to do is start stacking the small wins
206
and then trying to operate the subconscious or control what goes into the subconscious
207
but absolutely i don't i don't know i'm trying to remember what the actual name for it is
208
but there there's a name where it's like when you fall asleep
209
and when you're um when you're not conscious
210
or like you're just in a different state of being like a lower whatever you want to call it
211
when you're like dazing off your brain everything
212
that it takes in it starts to internalize and
213
so you could just find this stuff on youtube that's what i do
214
but there are also apps for it where you can like talk to the app
215
and then what it does is it like puts like some weird high vibrational ambient music in the background
216
and then just like mixes your vocals in there
217
and you're like talking to yourself saying i believe x y and z if you do that when you're
218
uh falling asleep i recommend people do
219
that as crazy as it sounds believe me guys i'm the most anti like witchcraft i didn't believe in
220
that stuff but truly what this is doing is it's feeding your brain something
221
that it can start to build off of belief doesn't just
222
randomly come overnight it's built over time you need to understand that do hard things consistently even if they're small
223
And you'll look back in six months and your life will be completely changed.
224
I started making content six to eight months ago,
225
whatever it is at this point last october and I just showed up every day And on any one given day
226
What I had to do Was annoying and I didn't want to do it, but I said hey i'm going to do it anyways It was all it was all small things,
227
you know just record 30 second video here minute long video
228
here 15 second video here just start to stack these things up
229
and all of a sudden i started to win all of a sudden i started to grow a following
230
i'm not saying you got to do social media whatever you want to do you have to establish
231
a framework and a structure a foundation if you will
232
that you're going to build yourself off of
233
and you just do it by showing up every day building
234
the small wins believing in yourself eliminating all the counters only allowing yourself the exposure to positivity
235
and other people that also believe in themselves
236
and by proxy believe in you
237
and just let this go over again there's something called the
238
michelangelo effect this is the last thing i'll say the michelangelo effect is
239
when you believe in your in the other person in your
240
relationship this doesn't have to be romantic it could be platonic
241
as well you believe in them they believe in you
242
and what this does is it creates a recurring cycle where you guys just keep believing in yourself and
243
so you just level up you need to surround yourself with
244
those type of people in life okay i want you
245
if you're watching this video to know anybody can do this
246
anybody it might seem really hard i'm telling you you can do this you can believe in yourself
247
i believe in myself i hope you do as well

¿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.
