1
Hello!
2
One of my favorite flowers is the lotus.
3
Not just for its beauty, but for the deeper significance it holds.
4
It represents much more than you might initially think.
5
The phrase lotus in the mud is often used to describe the idea
6
that one must go through the mud to achieve beauty.
7
The reason why I bring this up is
8
because I no longer believe in certain ideas that keep me stuck in unhealthy patterns.
9
Over time I've realized that growth requires shedding old perspectives that no longer serve me.
10
I no longer believe in talking poorly about your previous partner.
11
They were once someone you loved and while it's important to forgive, it doesn't mean you need to forget.
12
If you wouldn't have said it to them then, then, why say it about them now?
13
Forgiveness allows you to move forward, but holding onto bitterness only keeps you stuck in the past.
14
I no longer believe in having no solutions to problems.
15
Some solutions may take more effort, but in the end, you'll find a way.
16
This is what the sky's the limit really means.
17
I no longer believe in attachment.
18
I no longer I never believe in attachment because I've learned that it often leads to unnecessary suffering.
19
Attachment stems from a fear of loss and it is a desire for control.
20
But life is inherently impermanent.
21
People and circumstances are constantly changing and holding on too tightly only creates pain when things inevitably shift.
22
Instead, I've come to understand that true peace and happiness come from within, not from clinging to external things or people.
23
While it's important to love and appreciate those around you, it's equally important to recognize that everything in life is temporary.
24
We come into this world alone and we leave alone.
25
I no longer believe in the idea of the right person, wrong time.
26
Some people will love you deeply while others will hurt you.
27
It's the right time because even in pain you learn something from the experience.
28
You learn to not go back.
29
You learn to move on.
30
Like falling, you're picking up a stone along the way.
31
I no longer believe in finding your missing piece in a partner.
32
You need to be whole and love yourself before letting anyone else in.
33
Invest in yourself so that you attract the same.
34
Using someone as a rebound only causes more pain for everyone involved.
35
And to end this video, I just wanted to say, unlearning is difficult, but it's essential for growth.
36
It allows you to make room for healthier perspectives
37
that align with who you are becoming
38
and it takes a heck lot of hard work
39
but i promise you it's worth the change this is how you grow from a seedling to a thriving tree
40
and remember the only thing that doesn't change is change itself i hope you have a good one

¿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.
