Creando lección...
1
This video, I'm literally about to change your life for the better.
2
I truly, genuinely, 100 % believe if you watch this video that your life will be changed for the better.
3
If you do what I say in this video for at least 30 days, two months, three months, you will see a positive change in your life.
4
If you do not see a positive change, you can come back to this video and tell me, you know what Liz, you're a fraud.
5
You're a liar.
6
You can comment it.
7
This is how much I believe in this video.
8
I'm about to change your life so keep watching.
9
Hey guys, my name is Liz and welcome back to my channel.
10
Okay, let's get right into this video because this is genuinely my most important video.
11
Okay, first thing I want you to do.
12
I want you to to take pen and paper and I want you to write down
13
your dream life as if it already happened.
14
As if you're already living it.
15
You write that down.
16
This is important and I'm gonna tell you why.
17
Okay.
18
So one year ago, right one year ago, I was really still depressed like you know, I did not know what to do like I was like
19
in such a rut kind of
20
and I didn't know how to get out of it and So I had nothing to lose as well.
21
You know, I was like, I just really don't know where I'm going.
22
This is not what I want.
23
My manifestations are not coming through.
24
Why is it not working?
25
Whatever.
26
my last resort was always to write something down because i did not believe this would actually work Okay, what happened?
27
I take the pen and paper.
28
Mind you, I was in rock bottom.
29
I write down, I am living in this country.
30
My partner is this person.
31
My partner spoils me and buys me everything I want.
32
I am a successful YouTuber.
33
My career is being a successful YouTuber.
34
I earn a lot of money with YouTube.
35
I travel wherever I want.
36
I can afford whatever I want.
37
I wrote everything that I wanted down as if it was happening right now.
38
One year later.
39
I'm living exactly the life that I wrote down.
40
And let me tell you something.
41
i did not believe in this i did not believe in
42
like you know writing it down i knew a lot about
43
manifestation i knew a lot about it i just did not believe
44
that if i wrote something down it would actually happen
45
And I also still do not believe that it happened because of the paper.
46
You know what did happen though?
47
When I wrote it down, Subconsciously, my mind.
48
I forgot about the paper, right?
49
But I knew I wrote it down and I knew it would happen.
50
And I don't know why.
51
Like I just knew.
52
I registered it in my mind.
53
And what happened is my mind started working towards my goals.
54
Even though I was like not even thinking about it anymore,
55
It's almost like your mind does not know the difference between reality and what you write down.
56
So you write "I am living this lifestyle, I have this blah blah blah" Your mind does not know what's real and what's not.
57
It only knows what you tell your mind.
58
So that's why as well like if you constantly think about the past, if you constantly think about that heartbreak, and over and over regret,
59
again you cry about it, what happens is, your mind thinks that over and over again, you're getting heartbroken.
60
But that's not the reality.
61
But your mind doesn't know that, you know, so that's how you can manipulate the mind into thinking that you're living a great life.
62
You are healthy.
63
You are wealthy.
64
You have a good partner, you know.
65
So when I did that.
66
I think what happened is my mind registered.
67
Okay.
68
These are the goals this is where we're going.
69
Yeah.
70
There is no way that you won't get this.
71
because she decided that this is what she wants and this is what I decided This is the reality that will happen.
72
This is the reality I create for myself.
73
This is what I want.
74
And you know what is beautiful about rock bottom?
75
You have nothing left to lose.
76
That's why I tell people that are watching my videos that are depressed, congratulations, because you can be the most powerful manifester,
77
because you have nothing to lose.
78
Nothing.
79
Stop watching stupid videos, stop listening to stupid people, stop listening to stupid music, okay?
80
when i was in my depressive like life whatever my depressed
81
like episodes like this was insane the only thing i would listen to is sad songs
82
because you know i resonated with them they made me sadder i would look at stupid people doing
83
actually doing stupid things not involving me at all and
84
so i was stuck in a rut
85
because what i watch what i listen to constantly is my reality people that i hang around with is my reality
86
Show me what you watch, show me what you listen to, show me who you hang around it.
87
That is you.
88
That is you and you cannot tell me otherwise.
89
Mom used to tell me, Liz, the friends you have is who you are.
90
And I would be like, no, that's not true, whatever, what are you saying?
91
Because obviously, like, I did not have, like...
92
You know what, I didn't even have friends, so that's worse.
93
That's even worse.
94
Now I realize, like, if I start hanging out with certain people,
95
you know how quick, how quick My habits turn into theirs and their habits turn into mine?
96
How quick we change into each other?
97
- Yeah.
98
And it doesn't matter how evolved I am right now, how much I know, how much knowledge I've done, how much I have healed.
99
one person that I'm hanging out with can literally change me completely.
100
That's the power of the people that are around you.
101
There's one thing if you have a toxic family and like you don't really have anywhere to go
102
Then I would say stick to yourself, try to like really be by yourself, try to evolve like alone on your own, you know, things like that.
103
But imagine, imagine being able to choose your friends to choose what you look at, to choose what you listen to,
104
and then choosing the toxic ones.
105
Thank you.
106
Do you hate yourself?
107
Like really, do you hate yourself?
108
look at me
109
and say she does not know what she's talking about whatever
110
okay come back to me in two years with the same friends you have
111
and tell me that you guys are not the same
112
You know as well how hard and draining it is for people that want to be successful, that want to become better, to have friends that constantly pull them down?
113
You know how draining that is?
114
And imagine choosing
115
that burden okay i got this idea from joe dispensa basically you create a minds movie with daily affirmations
116
What is a Minds movie?
117
Okay, so I made this with a TikTok, like I just made a little TikTok video, it's like one minute and I have this on my phone.
118
I saved it privately, it's on my phone Basically what happens is you go onto Pinterest, right?
119
You search for pictures, for example, you want a luxury lifestyle.
120
You search luxury lifestyle on Pinterest or Google images, doesn't matter.
121
You take the images you like then for example you want money you search money You take images for money,
122
you want help, yeah, you can even like healthy, the word healthy or whatever you look it up.
123
You want love, you search for a partner that you want or like a loving couple.
124
pictures like that, right?
125
Then you go, uh, I'm going to show you exactly how to do it.
126
Like on the end of the video, I'm going to show you.
127
So basically, it's just a whole...
128
movie of pictures and then you put a voice over a voice note and you go like you say the affirmations,
129
you say, I am living a luxurious lifestyle over the picture that is like, you know, luxury.
130
um then the picture of healthy i am healthy
131
and blah blah blah and you go like that like for each picture
132
and what happens is before you go to bed And when you wake up, the first thing you do is you look at that little movie that you created on your phone, and you repeat what it says,
133
and you listen to your own voice saying it, right?
134
What's happening then is your mind, yeah?
135
is gonna register the goals.
136
Because it's easy to say, "Oh, I want to be successful.
137
I want this, I want that." What does success mean to you?
138
What does it mean?
139
We don't know what that means.
140
Unless you literally create a whole movie and you see and you can visualize it for yourself, right?
141
If I say I am living a luxury lifestyle on my video, I can see myself.
142
I can see myself living a luxury lifestyle.
143
You know, I can visualize it.
144
I can put emotions into it.
145
And when you put emotions into something, that's who you attract.
146
That's what comes into your life.
147
So I'm telling you, if you do this, like even for 30 days, every single day, you look at your little movie that you created before you go to bed.
148
And when you wake up.
149
100 % you'll start manifesting things.
150
I said this in my previous video, listen to guided meditation at least for 30 days.
151
Listen to a guided meditation.
152
Choose one.
153
Choose one.
154
If it's money that you want, if it's love that you want, if it's health that you want, if it's I don't know how they want whatever self love whatever.
155
Listen to a guided meditation about it every single day.
156
I listen to one on YouTube.
157
It's for money, right?
158
I've been listening to that one now for almost a month,
159
yeah exactly a month, literally like my income started exploding Like literally money coming from everywhere,
160
brand deals, my YouTube channel completely exploding, like everything, money, every single day I sleep, even if I don't upload, I make money.
161
I make money.
162
That's how powerful these things are.
163
I'm telling you, listen to a guided meditation every single night before you go to bed.
164
Listen to one particular one every night. Do it.
165
Say affirmations to yourself in a mirror.
166
Listen, affirmations have changed my life.
167
Affirmations have just completely changed my thinking, my mindset, my reality, my world, literally everything.
168
And you know why?
169
"There is something so powerful." I have a mirror here.
170
There's something so powerful of looking yourself in the mirror and saying, You are mesmerizing.
171
You are beautiful.
172
Yeah.
173
You are powerful.
174
You are living a luxury lifestyle.
175
You are loved, you are admired.
176
Saying things like that, looking yourself in the eyes and saying that to yourself.
177
Listen, in the beginning when you do that, right?
178
It's gonna feel fake.
179
It's gonna be like, "Ugh, I feel like I'm lying to myself.
180
I feel like this is not real." But the more you do it, and I swear, because you repeat it, you repeat it, you repeat it,
181
You start to believe it. When, um...
182
On TikTok, there was this one affirmation, it became famous: "I do not chase, I attract.
183
What belongs to me will simplify me." I started saying that, right?
184
And in the beginning I was like, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it." After a while, you know what happened to my head?
185
I literally, without even realizing, started believing that I do not chase and I stop chasing everything.
186
I only attract and what belongs to me will find me.
187
So what happened is I became so laid back, so detached of everything and my manifestations started coming in like crazy.
188
Because you know why?
189
Liz was not giving out her energy anymore.
190
Liz was preserving her energy.
191
All her energy was with her.
192
So my manifestations were like, Damn, that girl is whole.
193
We want to be a part of that girl's life, you know?
194
There was no leakage anymore.
195
I wasn't leaking to everyone.
196
I'm trying to please everyone.
197
Oh, are you okay?
198
Are you okay?
199
No, no, no. Is Liz okay?
200
Are you okay, Liz?
201
Are you okay?
202
Say affirmations to yourself in the mirror
203
say affirmations to yourself in the mirror look up self -love
204
affirmations you can look this up on google images like pinterest whatever self -love affirmations,
205
health affirmations, wealth affirmations, love affirmations, any affirmations repeat them to yourself in the mirror while looking at yourself.
206
I do this every single morning.
207
I do this every single night. do this.
208
I have one thing that I've been brought up with and it's basically being graceful.
209
And Being grateful is beautiful.
210
beautiful thing.
211
You know why?
212
Like it just when you receive something and And you just say like, wow, thank you that I got this manifestation, that I got this goal of mine.
213
Thank you so much.
214
Thank you, God.
215
Thank you so much.
216
I literally am so grateful.
217
that God cannot do anything but give me more.
218
Because look at her, she's smiling, she's glowing, she's happy, thank you, thank you so much.
219
And then he's like, "Wait, let me give her more.
220
Maybe she'll get happier." You know?
221
And I just believe that I get blessed like that because You guys don't realize how good your lives are, you know?
222
Like even right now, most of you guys are living the manifestations that you wanted.
223
You already got them.
224
But did you show gratitude?
225
Did you say thank you?
226
The thing is do the work towards the goal, right?
227
You cannot write down, I want to become a successful model and just Sit like this in your room.
228
Honey, first of all, what we're gonna do is We're going to apply to agencies.
229
Yes, we're going to apply to agencies.
230
We're going to take care of the hair, we're going to take care of the skin, take care of your body.
231
Um...
232
Make sure you go at places where you can be seen, where you can be approached and all of that.
233
You have to do the work towards it.
234
But you know what's beautiful when you write it down?
235
You don't have to worry.
236
Because when you apply to the agencies, when you go somewhere, what God will do is,
237
or the universe, they put people into your life that are like, Hey!
238
do you want do you want modeling have you ever considered modeling you know things like
239
that you'll start to see like oh wow This works, you know.
240
So for example, I'm trying, I was trying to manifest more money, right?
241
i didn't have to do anything anymore i listened to guided meditation and my YouTube blew up even more.
242
So I started earning even more money.
243
just from doing nothing because i have already created i've already done the work i've already created the youtube channel
244
Now if I listen to these meditations, they'll just grow and grow and grow and I'll just get money, money, money, you know?
245
But you have to do the work.
246
You can't just sit and be like, "Yeah, that's it." I return, I want a YouTube career.
247
Imagine I never filmed a video No, I did the work.
248
I did the work. And I was consistent.
249
And now I'm here.
250
Now I want you, once you've wrote it down, once you have everything, once you're doing the work, I want you to be patient.
251
you have to be prepared as well.
252
You know what happens when you're trying to manifest something?
253
Sometimes you lose people that are not meant to be with the highest version of you.
254
Let me repeat that.
255
You lose people that are not meant to be with the highest version of you.
256
Your contract with them ends.
257
Because you're about to evolve and you have to recognize when that's happening and you have to let those people go.
258
Because what happens is, and I've seen this in my life, When I was not willing to let go of an ex, right?
259
Because it was stable, it was comfortable, I was getting everything I wanted.
260
I would have never found this partner of mine.
261
because I was still clinging on to the comfort.
262
I had to completely let go and be like, you know what?
263
No, this is not what I want anymore.
264
I want something else.
265
That's when my manifestation came in.
266
And you have to recognize when it's time to let go.
267
Sometimes you need to get uncomfortable to get comfortable.
268
Sometimes you need to get uncomfortable to get comfortable.
269
Wow and of course believe that you deserve it you deserve it and stop blocking your own blessings.
270
You know what?
271
Sometimes, Blessings come in the form of an opportunity.
272
If for example a boss comes to you, he's like, you know what?
273
Yeah, you could have you could you could work here
274
and like this promotion you could get if you want to blah blah.
275
Don't laugh it out and be like, ha ha, yeah, whatever.
276
Say like, oh yeah, really?
277
How?
278
How can I get it?
279
because you have to understand Sometimes God sends people As in blessings.
280
And if you do not accept the blessings, how can your manifestation come true you know that's why like
281
if somebody wants to if somebody wants to do something for me
282
if somebody offers me something and i think like oh this is actually really nice i always accept it
283
Because that is showing as well to God, I believe that I deserve this.
284
I believe that I deserve good things to happen to me, and that's why good things will happen to me.
285
Once I made the switch in my life that I believe that I deserve to live a good life, that I don't have to feel bad about that either, That's why my life started really becoming good.
286
And I just believe that I literally create my own reality.
287
Literally.
288
As well, I had this belief in myself that was so much stronger than my fears.
289
that I just literally there was no choice but to accomplish it.
290
- Yeah.
291
I went against every single person in my family, around me, every single one to achieve what I want to achieve.
292
And today every single person is proud of me.
293
Every single one of them are proud of me.
294
because I did what I said I was going to do
295
and there was no stopping me you could not stop me
296
You could not stop me from achieving what I wanted to achieve.
297
That's how focused I was.
298
And you know, people are like that are just dangerous.
299
They create this focus.
300
and they just go for it.
301
And you know, at that moment, when everybody's against you, when the odds are against you, and everything is against you, and you're the only one that's like,
302
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it You know who is with you then?
303
God is.
304
He's like, you know what?
305
I'll help her.
306
because now I can see that she wants it.
307
When I was younger, I used to look at these videos that were like, If you want something, as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful.
308
And I've never ever understood what that meant.
309
But I would listen to it, listen to it.
310
And I was like, what does that mean?
311
As bad as you want to breathe, you know?
312
Until I was in a situation that was like, Everybody was against me.
313
I was alone.
314
I was crying.
315
I was so lost.
316
But you know what I was not gonna do?
317
Quit.
318
Because there was no way, there was no way that I was not going to get what I wanted.
319
This time in my life, I had suffered enough abuse In my life For me, not to turn it around.
320
This time I was going to take control.
321
And this time I want you to take control.
322
Enough!
323
And now Enough crying, enough being sad, enough saying tomorrow.
324
Start now with what you have.
325
Start.
326
No matter how small it is.
327
Get the knowledge, put yourself out there, work towards the goal.
328
I know you can do it.
329

330

331
um i really love you guys so much i want you to realize how far you've come what you accomplished in life,
332
how beautiful that is how beautiful it is that we get wiser every single day, that we're trying every single day,
333
that we're trying to become that version that we always wanted to be, that we're trying to heal the traumas that we didn't create.
334
Applaud yourself.
335

336
Tell yourself, I am amazing, I am wonderful, I am strong, I'm proud of you.
337

340
So when you selected all the pictures you click on the green thing then it creates your weight a little Okay,
341
so now you have all your pictures lined up next to each other.

¿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.
