56
and i've also linked them down in the description below another thing
57
you need to realize is the halo effect the halo effect is basically
58
when we see like a beautiful person we will think
59
that oh they are less likely to do something bad
60
because we associate someone beautiful with a good person you know
61
it's the same way the hill effect also worked for successful people
62
so if we see a successful person we are more likely to think that
63
that person is successful in every area of their life for example
64
they have a successful business we will also automatically think
65
they have they're successful in their relationships are successful everywhere we literally start to admire people
66
that are successful and beautiful because we think
67
that they have it all together see you know
68
when you cannot benefit from the halo effect uh
69
when you're lazy okay it takes it takes effort to be beautiful
70
and to maintain beauty i remember there was this one uh supermodel
71
she talked about this she's like there was this one woman
72
that commented and said
73
that uh oh why are you doing all this stuff to take care of yourself
74
and all these things
75
and she says i have no other option
76
this is my career do you think
77
she wants to literally like watch what she eats go to
78
the gym do all these procedures to keep herself in shape probably not like literally probably not
79
you know she just wants to sit at home
80
and do nothing as well she has no option
81
because that's her career she does all that stuff
82
and takes care of herself she can benefit from the halo effect same way
83
when somebody goes do like has their own business, is working very hard to create wealth for themselves or independence or freedom.
84
Same way, they have to work very hard to get all
85
that stuff but see what you guys see is only the successes
86
and oh she looks good and oh he has all the money.
87
You guys don't see all the work that comes like behind it.
88
These people have no option to be lazy.
89
Yes, some people are born into wealth, they have it very easy and more easy than others.
90
I know this is also a privilege but most people are not and they also create it for themselves.
91
Some people come from zero
92
and created for themselves you know it takes it literally takes discipline
93
it's you think these people want to do all
94
that stuff no i know so many people business owners
95
and stuff that said like i'm so frustrated i like
96
but they rather have this than no freedom they want the freedom
97
so yeah then you have to put in the work another thing is focus on working on your life force
98
i was watching this netflix documentary
99
it's on a jonah hill psychiatrist uh his his name is phil studs he was basically saying
100
that when you feel like you're lazy
101
or whatever the only thing
102
you need to focus on is your life force what is your life force first things first health
103
and diet you can focus on moving your body doing some exercise going to the gym
104
if that's what you want
105
and the foods you put in your body that's what you have control over right now make sure it's foods
106
that nourish your body make sure it's foods that don't spike your insulin or spike your glucose so
107
If you eat foods like that, that are filled with carbs and sugar, you're going to feel lazy.
108
You're going to feel like you don't want to do anything throughout the day because you feel heavy.
109
Think about nutrition.
110
What are you putting in your body?
111
How are you moving your body?
112
The second thing on your life force is your relationships.
113
What people do is when they get lazy or they don't feel good about themselves, they basically isolate.
114
I do this.
115
I start to isolate myself.
116
I don't want to be around people.
117
See, that's a bad thing you should do what you actually should do is in
118
that moment you should connect with people you should connect with your friends
119
and family and talk to them about how you're feeling because
120
that is much better than welling in your own self -pity
121
in your own like feeling bad about yourself trust me
122
because i do this all the time it doesn't work
123
if you don't feel comfortable telling your friends family talk to a stranger talk to a stranger just tell them
124
or tell a therapist talk to a therapist
125
and tell them how you're feeling and
126
and whatever you're going as humans we need connection
127
if we isolate ourselves we feel worse we are social creatures we need connection with people
128
and the third thing of your life force is you focus
129
on the relationship with yourself how are you treating yourself how
130
are you talking to yourself in your head what are you
131
even watching what are you watching on your phone constantly all
132
day what are you watching what are you engaging your own
133
mind in what is going on there are you journaling are
134
you writing down stuff do you even have a relationship with yourself
135
and there's also one thing yeah people they they tell me like oh i can't manifest
136
when people cannot manifest is
137
because they are not connected with their own energy manifesting is connecting with your own energy
138
and working with your energy but the reason that this day
139
and age people can are unable to do that is
140
because we're constantly on our phone and we're constantly distracted
141
or we constantly go out with people and we're never by ourselves
142
or we never take the time to sit with ourselves to meditate to write things down even writing stuff down
143
if you just start to write things will come to you
144
because sometimes god speaks to you your spirit guides speak to you
145
but because your mind is constantly racing you cannot focus on
146
that so you cannot accept guidance so you feel lost
147
and you feel like you're alone
148
but you're not alone you're not alone you're just not willing to listen
149
if you focus on these three things health
150
and diet your relationships to people
151
and your relationships to yourself then you don't need anything else
152
if you just keep continuing focusing on this everything else will fall into place 100 create routines in your life
153
and stick to it have routines we as humans
154
we need routines see for me i have a standard morning routine i have a standard night routine
155
and throughout my week i know when i'm going to the gym i know
156
when i'm doing what when i'm creating content i know these things i have routines
157
and yes sometimes i don't stick to my routines
158
but i have a base and i have always something to get back to
159
when i go off track most of you people have no routines
160
and just leave everything up in the air we don't work like
161
that you need a structurized thing you know
162
and some of y 'all i'm gonna call
163
you out as well your house is dirty yeah you never clean your house one thing i cannot stand
164
and i cannot work in is a dirty place i always need to clean
165
and have a clean space because honestly a clean space is a clean mic
166
if your room is a mess right now you go ahead
167
you stop this video i want you to clean right now right now
168
because that's huge disrespect to yourself not even cleaning after yourself
169
There's a reason why you made this commitment and remind yourself of that reason.
170
If you knew anything about me my whole life, I did not have social media.
171
I was not that teenager that was on Instagram, whatever.
172
I never wanted, never even literally considered it.
173
The only time I've ever been on social media was to make a career out of it.
174
Why did I want to make a career out of it?
175
Because I wanted to help my mom pay her bills and help her with her finances and help my family.
176
Now I'm able to do that.
177
See, when I get demotivated and I don't want to do this anymore
178
and I don't want to do social media anymore
179
because to be honest to stand here right now
180
and be judged by millions of people lots of people telling me
181
that i'm so dumb and what i'm saying is just common sense
182
and whatever or that i'm ugly it's not nice okay it's really not nice
183
and i don't want to be this center of attention
184
but at the end of the day i made this commitment to myself
185
because i'm not gonna let my family suffer
186
i'm not gonna let my mom suffer they have suffered enough i have suffered enough we deserve financial freedom
187
and i'm going to create that for us
188
and the same way there's a reason why you make
189
that commitment to yourself remind yourself why did i even start why did i even want this goal
190
and you know somewhere down the line maybe you didn't even want this goal anymore
191
and you think to yourself i don't want this okay fine
192
then don't do it do something else i don't care
193
but remind yourself
194
if you still want it why do you want
195
it why did you even start think about what story are you telling yourself
196
if you're telling yourself so oh i can't do this
197
because i'm just a lazy person yeah that's then how you will act like a lazy person stop saying
198
that stop saying that what does
199
that even mean i'm just a lazy person what does
200
that mean you think you think you can use
201
that as an excuse for the rest of your life okay then go to the sideline yeah
202
and let people like us walk through
203
because we don't need you on our way okay
204
because we're trying to do stuff you could have been anything
205
you wanted in your life literally your mom she carried
206
you nine months in her stomach for you to come out
207
and say oh i'm just lazy some people watching
208
this are children of immigrants your your parents have literally rescued
209
your whole life literally tried to give you the best life possible for you to sit here now
210
and be like oh
211
i'm just too lazy to do this are you not embarrassed get a hold of yourself literally
212
you guys are lazy but then you guys complain
213
that you don't have the life
214
that you want don't complain then don't complain
215
you can literally change your reality at any second you know any second like right now
216
if i want to be overlooked
217
and nobody cares about me give me one month one month
218
i'm going to eat whatever i want i'm not gonna take care of myself anymore 100 i'll be overlooked 100
219
when i walk down the street people will not look at me the same way 100
220
i can then i'm changing my reality i went from being this person to
221
that other person you can change your your realities really fast
222
when you start acting like the person you want to become
223
but no lins it's uncomfortable because then i have to let go of my toxic boyfriend
224
and this and that but i'm still gonna cry about the fact
225
that i don't have what i want another thing you should do is heal the past
226
and move on listen there's a lot of people they have experienced
227
so much trauma and then now they sit
228
and they're like oh i can't accomplish anything
229
because i've been through this i've been through that this and
230
that okay i've been through a lot as well
231
i i've literally came two times a person tried to unalive me
232
it was very traumatizing for me you know what i did instead of complaining
233
i went to a therapist i even did hypnotherapies i went to two years of intensive therapy
234
and i healed myself from those things yeah
235
because i don't want to continue my life be the victim of a trauma
236
i'm not a victim i don't even want to associate with it okay
237
i don't want it to be my story i can change my story around
238
and honestly i'm telling you once again
239
if you did not hear this in my other videos
240
if you're a victim of trauma or abuse
241
or whatever don't just go around and tell people
242
because they lose respect for you they lose respect for you 100 %
243
I would have never ever in my life disclosed this to the internet
244
or people if if I was not trying to help people
245
because this is really something that people lose respect for
246
when you tell them don't think
247
that they feel pity for you no they see you as someone weaker someone
248
that went through something it's really sad
249
but I'm telling you this is the truth this is how they see
250
so for yourself go ahead heal
251
that heal it takes years yes it takes years okay
252
sometimes it goes fast sometimes it's not fast you can't control
253
that but at least work towards healing yourself well
254
if you're constantly living in the past
255
and reliving it your body literally will make you physically ill
256
because your body thinks that you're because you're feeling those emotions still your body thinks
257
that you're still in
258
that same situation your body doesn't know anything different it only knows what you're feeling and what you're telling your body
259
so what you're repeating in your head what you're feeling inside
260
of yourself is what your body will create for you want a different outcome
261
and a different future you have to do things differently not people around
262
you should change not people around you should change their behavior you you have the power to control
263
that you have the power to control how you react
264
you have the power to control how you feel stop blaming other people
265
it's not their fault yes maybe somebody did something to you they traumatized you that's on them okay
266
they will receive their karma
267
if not in this lifetime in another god will punish them whatever okay
268
you have now the responsibility to heal yourself you do and you take that responsibility
269
and go to your own next level because
270
when you're stuck in the past
271
and being terrorized by the thoughts of the past
272
you cannot go forward you cannot move on another thing is are you lazy
273
or did you stop progressing like i said in the other video the reason
274
that people become happy is because they constantly progress
275
when people stop progressing that's
276
when unhappiness becomes like literally you can be a millionaire having everything
277
but because they they don't have anything anymore
278
that excites them they become depressed as well
279
it doesn't matter how much money you have it doesn't matter how much you've accomplished we constantly need
280
that drive or something to strive for so ask yourself am i lazy
281
or do i just not find excitement in things anymore learn a new skill
282
then find a new hobby create a new project do something else
283
that you haven't tried before or do something
284
that you used to love pick it up again you know
285
but don't allow yourself to stop progressing because when you stop progressing that's
286
when you stop living don't allow yourself to be like
287
that too much information makes us lazy see
288
because we're constantly scrolling on every app whatever we're scrolling on social media
289
we hear this diet is perfect we hear this is the best shampoo
290
now this is the best way to do skincare
291
so we go literally insane because there's so much information
292
and we don't want to do anything anymore
293
because we don't even know what to do there's so much information
294
but because we're so consumed in
295
that we start to literally become consumed in other people's opinions in other people's lives
296
and we start filling their lives with our energy that's it
297
and then you wonder to yourself like huh why do i not have any energy for myself left
298
because you're too consumed in other people's lives
299
so you're not living your own you know
300
when i spend the day scrolling on tiktok
301
i don't want to do anything i don't want to do anything literally
302
i just literally my brain is fried completely
303
and i don't i just want to lay down and do nothing
304
if i decide to have a lazy day
305
and i call them lazy days i'll watch netflix shows
306
i binge watch them i don't want to do anything else literally my mind is shut off then you know
307
if if you are also a person that constantly goes out
308
and parties that's it energy drained my love constantly drained
309
but recently um my friend she took me out
310
because it was her birthday
311
so then i thought okay let me go out
312
i went out with her the whole night i did not have one thought in my head
313
and i have a mind that's racing i'm very very creative i constantly have ideas in my head
314
and i constantly also get messages in my head
315
that whole night i had no idea nothing nothing my mind was blank
316
it's almost like i was like brain dead
317
or something i was just standing there like you know what happens too many energies around you too many energies
318
and you're they're completely draining it
319
so that's why sometimes in order for you to create
320
or in order for you to be productive
321
you need to be in solitude you need to be alone you need to realize
322
that feelings are not always right okay feelings are just feeling see
323
if we all just react out of emotions
324
i think everyone would just unalive each other oh you made me angry i'm
325
so angry let me get something
326
and just unalive you might feel like right now oh my heart is broken i will never find something like
327
that again no you will okay you will you just feel right now really bad
328
so what do you do you feel the feelings you let them purge yeah feelings purge by you feeling them
329
if you're gonna repress what you feel
330
and you feel like oh i shouldn't be crying about this i should be tough nope
331
you're gonna store those feelings inside of your body
332
and they're gonna come up later as physical illness you cannot do
333
that to yourself if you feel bad right now
334
and you feel like you want to cry
335
or you want to scream you do that because
336
that is releasing your emotions
337
if you feel like you need to sleep a lot right
338
now sleeping is also healing there is a reason why your body needs sleep
339
because it's trying to heal the feelings purge let your body heal
340
but once that's done also get up and do something okay don't stay there
341
and dwell there for too long
342
and it's also like oh i feel like i don't want to do this
343
but what like what do you feel and what do you want okay
344
because if you feel like oh i want to eat
345
that uh whatever i want to eat unhealthy this and that
346
but then you want
347
that dream body of yours it doesn't correlate
348
you need to have discipline my love like you know you can't just consume into what you're feeling
349
and then expect what you want to happen to happen it doesn't work like
350
that another thing is courage is being vulnerable courage is going out
351
and meeting meeting new people and putting yourself out there
352
and being vulnerable it might not feel good to you
353
because honestly this i'm just speaking for myself right now i isolate myself i've constantly isolated myself anyone
354
that lives like where I live will tell you I don't come out.
355
Any of my friends will tell you I do not leave my place, you know.
356
Do you think that's courageous of me?
357
No. I'm trying to protect myself but because I'm trying to protect myself and I'm scared of being vulnerable,
358
I don't live any experiences and life is just going by like this.
359
I'm young.
360
I'm supposed to be living my life.
361
I'm supposed to be meeting people, getting my heart broken.
362
I'm supposed to have experience.
363
I don't have any of these because I'm so afraid of getting hurt or betrayed by friends.
364
You think that that's happiness?
365
No, you're not living, you know, and it makes you lazy as well because you're like, okay, I'm just not going to do anything.
366
I'm not going to surround myself with people.
367
I'm not going to try to do anything.
368
That's not courageous.
369
That's weak.
370
Courage is being vulnerable.
371
Go out there, meet new people.
372
I'm not saying do something risky and then put yourself in danger
373
but do something that normally you would feel uncomfortable doing
374
or you rather prefer not doing it another thing is learn to ask for help
375
or learn to accept help see most of you guys's issues is the fact
376
that you don't accept help oh my god like i have
377
so many people around me
378
that are like no i don't want help i don't want help
379
and then they struggle
380
so much to accomplish this thing you know i could have fixed
381
it for them in one second you need to start accepting help from people
382
sometimes god sends these people to help you okay that's how you have to see it
383
and you have to receive and then you like
384
if you don't you get angry you're like god you never helped me like why don't you help me
385
and god says like i sent this person to help you and you refuse them
386
how do you want god to help you also ask help
387
from god ask help ask help you will receive help in very miraculous ways
388
i've done it myself
389
i always do it another thing is be productive on your
390
own terms think about what does productivity look like for me
391
if i say for example go to the gym do this do
392
that but you think like
393
but that's not what i want to do like i don't want to go to the gym
394
i don't want to do these things okay fine
395
that's not for you that's not how you are productive you have a different sense of productivity
396
so think to yourself what is productive for me what do i think would be like oh okay
397
i'm a productive person if i do these things what are your goals create
398
that productivity mindset for yourself and create a vision of what
399
that looks like for you don't listen to these other people
400
because what works for them might not work for you
401
because that's not what you want other thing is are the people around you draining your energy
402
if you have toxic friends if you have toxic family members
403
and you're constantly just engaging with them you're constantly just around them
404
you're gonna feel bad look at the people look
405
when you feel bad what people are around you
406
when you feel your worst
407
and sometimes even you start to hate yourself around certain types of people there are certain types of friends
408
that bring out a side in you
409
that you don't like about yourself watch out for these kinds of people
410
because you might feel like
411
when i'm around them why do i behave like this you know you're getting influenced by them
412
so it's better to distance yourself and
413
when you are more stable in who you are and
414
and you don't get influenced by others easily then
415
if you want you can be like friends and stuff
416
because they cannot do anything you know it doesn't affect you
417
but when you are easily influenced distance yourself from these kind of people
418
if you have toxic family members distance yourself make sure you can stay away as much as possible
419
and focus on the things
420
that you can focus on right now nobody can make
421
you feel anything nobody can make you feel sad bad upset whatever you can only do
422
that to yourself you have control over how you feel
423
if for example one person when i used to be younger
424
and i didn't know this knowledge
425
when somebody made me angry i would think like oh they're
426
so bad like i hate them whatever they did this with ill intent yeah
427
and i would get angry now
428
when somebody does something to me i think to myself well then there must be something
429
that they're judging in me
430
because they're judging it in themselves they're projecting there's something wrong maybe something i have a different kind of understanding
431
and i have compassion for this person i i feel sad for them it's a different energy
432
and it's a different feeling and why can i control that
433
because i control how i feel i can feel sad for them
434
if I want you know I can also feel happy
435
that they showed their true colors to me
436
so change your perspective on things how do you how do you view
437
this person how do you view the situation same way
438
if you're going through a breakup you can see it as like oh my god
439
it was the last man on earth I cannot live without him blah blah blah
440
or you can see it as like oh okay our souls were meant to cross
441
because we were meant to teach each other something in this lifetime
442
and then we meant to separate because it was not meant to be forever in this lifetime.
443
that's it he learned his lesson i learned i learned my lesson
444
and now we can go our separate ways and go to the level
445
that we were both meant to be at and last
446
but not least focus on the things
447
that you can do i always hear people oh
448
i can't do this oh my god
449
i can't like what can you do what can you do
450
what are you good at huh tell me three things right now what can you do
451

¿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.
