Shadowing Practice: How to stop overthinking - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
overthinking and anxious thoughts can literally ruin your life i used to be a huge overthinker i used to think
2
that this is going to happen this person thinks this about me all these thoughts would go through my head
3
and i would actually manifest those situations even though they were never meant to happen
4
or i would manifest a person being angry at me even though
5
that was never the the case in the first place
6
because in my head i had already made that situation up
7
when it was never going to happen overthinking can even lead
8
to such serious consequences i learned how to stop overthinking how to trust life
9
and i'm going to show you guys how you can do
10
the same thing in this video hi guys my name is this
11
and welcome back to my channel first thing i need you to realize is no one knows you.
12
Different versions of you exist in everyone's head.
13
See, someone can look at my videos and think, wow, that girl saved my life.
14
She's amazing.
15
Another person can look at me and think, I hate her.
16
She ruined me.
17
I completely feel so lost because of her.
18
Why?
19
Because they had a different perception of me when they were listening to me.
20
I'm the same person
21
but people have different experiences with me it's the same way
22
with other people like for example imagine your mother right
23
if i ask you right now oh how is your mother
24
you will give me an answer oh she's like this is whatever right
25
but then i ask your sibling how is your mother maybe they had a completely different experience with her
26
and they have a completely different perception of her
27
but then who is your mother who is she you don't know i don't know
28
and your sibling doesn't know maybe your mother doesn't even know
29
who she is herself that's why i think it's very foolish to think of like oh why did they do
30
that i would have never expected them to do
31
that oh why didn't that job hire me i didn't expect
32
that you didn't know them you didn't know
33
that person you had a perception of them in your head
34
but that perception is not them that's your experience with
35
that person that is not that person that is not
36
that interviewer that job interviewer
37
that wanted to hire you maybe thought oh i thought they liked me
38
but they in their head had completely different experience with you start to understand
39
that nobody knows you and you don't know anyone we only have perceptions of other people
40
so in that way you won't overthink situations you can accept
41
that hey listen even though i might have thought i did a great job
42
that other person didn't have a great experience with me and that's okay.
43
First thing is voice your thoughts in the moments.
44
So my sister said this to me recently.
45
She said Liz the one thing
46
that I admire about you the most is the fact
47
that whenever you say something or whenever you think something in the moment you voice it.
48
You say it.
49
Like if something hurt me in the moment I will say it.
50
Oh I didn't like that.
51
I'm not really like I don't make a scene about it.
52
I'm also a very chill person.
53
I don't get offended easily but
54
if i didn't like something i'll tell you in the moment i didn't like
55
that please don't do that this is also how resentment gets created
56
and then you become the kind of person you're always angry at like minor things
57
because you didn't voice your opinion when you were mistreated you neglected yourself back then
58
so now all those emotions will come up for the like
59
the minimum thing right i the reason why i always voice my thoughts in the moment
60
and what i think is
61
because i cannot afford to let my brain be filled with
62
unnecessary thoughts i need this to be free not only for my job
63
but also just for life
64
and to have a peace of mind i want to go
65
to bed at night not thinking about these things anymore
66
if i tell you in the moment i didn't like that
67
and we can resolve it right then
68
and there i'm happy i don't go to bed with fights anger
69
or resentment because i cannot afford that if you feel triggered by something
70
or offended just say that to the person that offended you
71
or triggered you like hey this is a trigger for me
72
hey this offended me there's nothing wrong in voicing your opinion
73
another thing you can also do is journal about it before
74
you go to bed like the situation journal write it down whatever but make sure
75
that it's out of here onto something else.
76
You can even paint, do whatever, create an art piece, something that removes,
77
that makes the emotions and the thoughts in your head move.
78
Another thing you need to realize is where is that trigger or fear coming from?
79
See, overthinking is basically creating situations out of fear, situations that might never happen
80
but you are fearful of those situation sometimes people overthink like
81
for example a guy didn't text you back fast enough right
82
and you start to overthink oh my god he doesn't like
83
me oh my god he doesn't want me anymore just now you overthink
84
and you create this crazy scene in your head right
85
and you start to self-sabotage yourself where is this coming from most likely you have attachment issues.
86
Most likely, maybe a parent has left your life in early age and shown you that there was no commitment towards you.
87
So now every single partner you have, you're scared that they're going to leave you as well.
88
So then you start to overthink.
89
And that's where that fear is coming from and that the person not replying to you fast enough, that's triggering you into that fear, into overthinking.
90
So when you start overthinking something, even if you have a job, right?
91
And that job didn't hire you, why does that trigger you so much?
92
Why?
93
Where's that coming from?
94
Maybe you feel like, oh, they don't see me.
95
They're not validating me the way I wish they would validate me.
96
This is making me feel less about myself.
97
I want to feel worthy.
98
these are all triggers like look at the base what is behind the the reason
99
that you're overthinking everything other thing is look at facts instead of feelings see
100
when we are overthinking we are acting out of feelings right
101
we're acting out of triggers we're acting out of fear
102
but look at the facts
103
that person probably busy that's why he's not answering you right
104
now he's not gonna leave you that's a fact um the
105
that job they didn't hire you
106
because maybe they just found someone better you were just not good enough for
107
that position does that mean you're not good enough enough in life
108
or you will not get a better opportunity no that's also a fact like
109
when those thoughts come up you have to ask yourself okay this thought
110
that i have right now that i feel like they're gonna abandon me
111
that i feel like i was not worthy because of
112
that job didn't hire me is
113
that true ask yourself is this what i'm thinking right now this thought is it true
114
the other thing was like every single time my therapist actually
115
she thought this to me a thought would come up
116
that was like negative or bad or whatever or even
117
if i saw a negative comment she said liz imagine it
118
like like a bubble in your head like a thought coming up like a bubble
119
and you're poking it with a needle immediately when it comes
120
so imagine i saw a bad comment right
121
and it came to my head i start overthinking poke i
122
do like poke like it's i'm poking into the needle
123
and it really helped me overthinking will not change the situation what if does not exist
124
when you can sit there for hours four days overthinking the
125
situation thinking oh this might happen this might happen whatever
126
but the only thing we have right now is the present moment
127
what is happening right now is this nothing else you being
128
anxious about what might happen in the future is not real you might create those situations
129
because of your fear that's manifesting it
130
or you might actually start looking at solutions instead of the
131
problem see we have problems every single day right we we
132
had bigger problems at this we had smaller problems at this
133
but did you you not fix them are you not still here overthinking the situation can only get worse
134
if we allow it to get worse we can just see there is a problem
135
that arises all of my successful friends they do the same
136
thing problem comes we solve it okay how can we solve
137
it how what can we do what are the options
138
and we look at it you have to especially with
139
if you're big overthinking you have to start thinking quickly in
140
these situations i've been always in survival mode throughout my childhood So for me, this comes very easily and very naturally.
141
I'm very good at solving situations under stress.
142
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
143
Ask for help when you need help.
144
If there's a situation that arises and you feel like, oh my God, I don't know what to do.
145
Call someone, ask someone, ask someone else to connect you with someone else to help you.
146
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
147
You're not weak.
148
You're very strong.
149
You're reaching out to people and say, hey, listen, I can't handle this on my own you know how much courage
150
that takes that is incredibly strong
151
and people will help you people will help you i've been helped
152
so many times by so many people that i'm so grateful for
153
and i could not have been here without those people
154
so don't be shy to ask for help thing is
155
when you're overthinking calm yourself down either go to sleep i've noticed
156
when i start overthinking a lot it's also
157
because i either i didn't have good enough sleep
158
or i'm just very tired right now so then i start overthinking
159
when i go to sleep all those thoughts go away
160
because sometimes your body just needs rest
161
and that's why it's like overthinking thinking weird thoughts
162
because you're just tired thing is with breathing exercises my yoga teacher he actually taught me this like
163
when you're breathing we should actually breathe through our stomach so that we relax so when you breathe in,
164
your stomach expands and then you breathe out and your stomach goes in again.
165
That really relaxes you.
166
If you do that a couple of times, your body will relax.
167
Another thing is yoga and meditation.
168
Yoga helps immensely with overthinking and calming your body down.
169
When I consistently do yoga, I'm so, so relaxed.
170
Like it calms your whole nervous system down.
171
And meditation, the same thing.
172
Just sitting there even for five minutes, closing your eyes and just realizing that you're right now in the moment
173
that you're present and this is what we have right now will calm you down immensely.
174
Go ask for a walk in nature.
175
Go watch the sunset.
176
Go to the beach go play with your pet anything
177
that can relax you in the moment will help you immensely
178
with overthinking another thing is life works itself out for you
179
see i used to be ever since i was young such a big overthinker
180
because i wanted to control life
181
and i wanted i wanted to control how everything went i knew what i wanted
182
and i was going to get what i wanted
183
but what did i not anticipate was all the things
184
that i first had to go through to get where i want
185
I didn't plan those things
186
but see life did life needed to teach me lessons life also humbled me in a big way
187
so that now
188
that I am at this stage where I have everything I still have humility I don't look down on people
189
and I don't think that I'm better than anyone so that's also
190
when I realized all those years overthinking the situation all those years thinking that this is how it should have happened.
191
No. When I look back at my life, it happened exactly the way it was meant to happen.
192
Exactly the way.
193
And I would have never predicted this way for myself, but this was the way I needed it to come to this point.
194
So it's the same way for you.
195
You might think, why are those things happening right now?
196
That's not what I want.
197
This is what I want.
198
It will never get better blah blah it will but the lessons
199
that you're learning right now are crucial for you you need those lessons you need those lessons
200
and you will only realize that when you come to a stage
201
that you get what you want and then you will look back
202
and be like you know what i'm grateful for those lessons i'm grateful i went through what i went through
203
because i would not be the person that I am today.
204
The thing I need you to realize is it was not meant for you.
205
Stop overthinking why does this not work?
206
Why did that person leave my life?
207
Why did I not get this job?
208
It was not meant for you.
209
You were not supposed to have that thing
210
and you were maybe you were meant to have something much greater
211
but because you cannot let go of why did I not get this thing
212
that other thing that was meant for you cannot come in.
213
The way I see life is God is always protecting me
214
and whatever is removed from my life or whatever opportunity I didn't get is because God is giving me something bigger.
215
This is my mentality and 100% I believe this.
216
Every single time my theory has been proven right because God has not failed me.
217
God has my back and I believe this.
218
Sometimes when people leave sometimes when you don't get
219
that job it's not meant for you and have peace with
220
that you need to start accepting
221
that people will not like you some people will not like
222
you some people will dislike you for no reason some people will not give you that job
223
because they don't like you people will discriminate you people will
224
be racist to you people will not accept you as you are
225
but that does not have to define you you don't have to take their perception of you as your reality
226
you are not what they're telling you you are not their version of you start having peace with the fact
227
that not every job is gonna like you not every brand whatever is gonna like you
228
because you don't fit their standards they they want to be with someone else
229
and that is also okay the more you start accepting
230
that people will reject you because that's just humans that's human nature not everyone will like us,
231
the more easier life becomes.
232
And the more you start thinking, no, it should be like this.
233
Oh no, I should have this.
234
You're thinking in lack.
235
Why are you thinking in lack?
236
Do you think because that person walked out of your life, God will not provide you with someone else?
237
Do you think because you didn't get that job, God will not provide you with a better job do we as humans think
238
so small minded why do we think of god as someone
239
so small people are building huge things spaceships uh like even
240
an airplane how do you even build an airplane i don't
241
know how do you build buildings that's that's like insane skyscrapers
242
you think people are capable of doing the craziest stuff
243
but god will not fix your life understand
244
that you're not your failure you know like okay what it didn't work out okay
245
and you tried that business didn't work out okay
246
and you were married before for years on end it didn't work out okay
247
and you think you can't do
248
that again you think you can't get better again why do you guys think
249
so small start thinking bigger for yourself you think you were created and put on this earth to just suffer?
250
No, I don't believe that.
251
I think we were put on this earth to have the best life possible.
252
And I think God is backing us like crazy.
253
But you guys never ask.
254
You guys don't even ask other people.
255
You guys don't even ask God.
256
You guys don't ask anyone.
257
And then you're like, oh, why is my life so hard?
258
Ask.
259
Ask for the biggest things.
260
These people are not special.
261
the money
262
and stuff all these things are not special those things come
263
to those who believe in themselves those things come to those who believe in god
264
and believe that god is backing them those are the ones
265
that get it
266
because they're like yeah life is going to be great for me yeah it should be great
267
because i'm alive that should be your mentality my life should be great
268
because i am alive
269
so let go of trying to be perfect you're trying to
270
be perfect trying to this perfect is not you might create something
271
and you think that's perfect in your eyes someone will comment on it
272
and say that's the worst thing i've ever seen in my life once you start understanding
273
that you'll never be perfect
274
because every single person has a different perception of what perfect
275
is that's why you can fully let go of trying to impress or trying to be perfect
276
if you're waiting to be perfect you'll never get it done because you won't even start because nothing is perfect.
277
You do it and do it wrong.
278
Do it badly.
279
Let people even laugh at you.
280
But at least make sure that whatever you're doing, you're standing behind it, that you love it.
281
That's the most important thing.
282
If you, whatever you do, you would buy it yourself or you would watch your videos yourself or you think that whatever you're doing is interesting,
283
that's when it will sell because you believe in your own product.
284
another thing is you are not their opinion see maybe your
285
parents have told you you're not good enough maybe your teacher
286
maybe i don't know who told you you're not good enough
287
your crazy ex um your friends whoever made you feel like
288
you're not good enough you're not their opinion you are not their opinion you don't take
289
that reality for yourself you have to reaffirm to yourself i am the greatest i am
290
so good i'm amazing i'm mesmerizing i will get everything i
291
want you know i grew up in a situation where everything was
292
so bad like i looked around me everyone was suffering everyone was getting abused
293
and i was like shit
294
but in my head i was like oh i'm gonna make
295
it i'm gonna make it i'm gonna make it i would even listen to motivational videos
296
of that will tell
297
that would tell me i'm gonna make it every single day i would go to my shitty job
298
that i hated
299
so much i would go there like at 5 a.m i would walk there um i'll go there
300
and i would listen to these people screaming these men screaming
301
at me you're gonna make it you're gonna be amazing this night i would constantly listen to it
302
and reaffirm it to myself because when you have no hope anymore reaffirming to yourself
303
that everything is going to be okay is actually what makes you feel sane in an insane situation last
304
but not least social media is making everyone crazy see listen social media made it
305
so easy for everyone to compare our lives
306
and then you start to overthink your life
307
because you think oh my god they're at this age doing this already
308
and you can see it
309
and then you're like oh my god i'm too late i can't do it i will not find love
310
because i'm not old
311
or whatever stop stop whatever people are portraying on social media i know many people
312
that have this social media platform that are so unhappy in real life
313
but on their old social media they look
314
so happy whatever they have everything and in real life it's just not the case
315
stop comparing yourself to other people and whatever those people are going through
316
or what they have you can never take
317
that away from them that's for them and what you have right now
318
that is for you the only way you make yourself grow
319
is by putting gratitude into your life by being grateful for what you have that's how everything will expand more
320
and more but you just comparing yourself to other people
321
and thinking and lack
322
or being jealous of what they have will never get you
323
what you want grass is always greener on the other sides until we realize
324
that the only grass that matters is our own
325
if it's hard for you just do not follow these people do not look at these apps
326
That you constantly see people having better things than you.
327
Then walk away from it.
328
And literally protect your own peace of mind.
329
And otherwise just realize that whatever is meant for you will happen anyways.
330
And what is meant for them will also happen.
331
Have peace with yourself and have peace with life.
332
Hope you guys enjoyed this video.
333
I hope you guys learned something.
334
And yeah, I love you guys so much.
335
I appreciate you guys so much.
336
And I'm really grateful for you.
337

¿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.
