Shadowing Practice: Neuroscientist: Visualization technique to achieve ALL your goals - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
There's a near doubling, near doubling in the probability of reaching one's goal if you focus routinely on foreshadowing failure.
2
You think about the ways in which things could fail if you take action A or you take action B and instead, therefore, you take action C.
3
You're supposed to think about how things could fail if you don't get up and run each morning if your goal is, say, a fitness goal.
4
So let's use that as an example.
5
Let's say somebody sets a goal of running five miles four times a week minimum, and as many as seven, four times a week minimum, before 8 a .m.
6
One version of this would be, okay, sit back in a chair and think about how great you're going to feel
7
and look if you're doing this every day, how your health is going to improve, how everything's going to, your blood markers of lipids, et cetera, are going to improve.
8
Okay, fine.
9
That's the visualization goal of visualizing the endpoint.
10
Turns out that is far less effective
11
and maybe even counterproductive compared to thinking about what's going to happen if you don't do this, the negative health outcomes that are going to occur,
12
the disappointment you're going to have in yourself, the fact that you're going to wait until 7 .30, that's not long enough for many people to run five miles.
13
You go to put it on your shoes, it can be pouring rain or even hailing or snowing outside, and now you're not going outside unless you're somebody who's particularly motivated to do that, okay?
14
So foreshadowing failure turns out to be the best way to motivate toward goal pursuit.
15
In fact, as I mentioned before, where there's a near doubling in the likelihood
16
that people will reach goals of any kind when they're constantly thinking about how bad it's going to be if they fail.
17
And so while I'd love to be able to tell you
18
that all you should think about is rainbows and puppies
19
and all the wonderful rewarding things that are going to happen when you achieve your goals,
20
the truth is you should be thinking mainly about how bad it's really going to get if you don't do it, how disappointing yourself you're going to feel,
21
how it will negatively impact you, if not in the immediate term, in the long term.
22
And the more specific you can get by writing down
23
or thinking about or talking about how bad it will be if you don't achieve your goals, the more likely you are to achieve those goals.

¿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.
