1
Can we talk for a moment about how we begin to process the barrage of negative news and
2
everything that shows up on our phones?
3
And I think it's really overwhelming to a lot of people and creating anxiety for people.
4
I know I've just shut it down.
5
So how do we start doing this for ourselves?
6
Like, is there a certain amount of time every day we should put the phone down?
7
So there's a difference between being informed and inundated.
8
And if there's something really important happening in the world, people will be talking about it.
9
So you do not need to be checking the news. That is the truth.
10
And right now - I'm going to hear it from Gail eventually.
11
Yes.
12
No, but I mean it.
13
Like watching Gail is one thing.
14
Yeah.
15
Reading the headlines on your phone is a totally different game.
16
Yeah.
17
Because those headlines are written as a way to bait you to stay online more.
18
Why?
19
That's right.
20
Because they make money when you stay online.
21
The headlines are baited to get you to go to read the whole story.
22
Correct.
23
And you become so distracted.
24
Yes.
25
And also, the more you stay online, the more money platforms make.
26
So they're incented to write scary headlines because it entices you to click because of something called the curiosity gap.
27
So it is critical that you understand that the phone and the internet is a tool, but you've become the tool.
28
And if you don't have boundaries with your phone, and I'm only gonna give you one of them.
29
Yeah.
30
Because most people won't listen to this anyway.
31
And then they're gonna complain about how stressed out and overwhelmed they are.
32
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33
The number one tool is this.
34
Don't you ever, ever, ever sleep with your phone.
35
You have to put your phone in the bathroom.
36
And the reason is simple.
37
I'm not even gonna talk about all the studies about how
38
the phone in the room simply next to you interrupts your sleep.
39
I'm going to talk about something that happens when you wake up.
40
So the phone's next to you, right?
41
And you're lying in bed.
42
Yeah.
43
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44
So, you know, the alarm goes off.
45
And you pick up the phone.
46
And here you are.
47
Yeah.
48
You aren't even vertical yet.
49
And you have just allowed the world news
50
and a thousand strangers on Instagram to walk into your bedroom you're checking emails
51
and text messages and you wonder why you're stressed out
52
and exhausted you're not even out of bed
53
and you have put all this other stuff in your brain
54
which means you are now the last thing on the list
55
and if you lay there and start scrolling
56
and it activates your stress response it absolutely takes longer to get out of bed correct
57
and anxiety is higher for people in the morning, Oprah.
58
And there are scientific reasons why this is true.
59
And by the way, I also wanna share something
60
because I think it's important to know that if you grew up in a traumatic household or you experienced abuse,
61
poverty, bigotry, racism when you were little, you had a chaotic experience,
62
you would wake up in the house and you didn't know what was gonna happen and you're going into a school.
63
As you know, because of the work that you've done with Dr. Bruce Perry, this is stored trauma.
64
So if you're waking up in the morning and the first thing you experience is anxiety, it is a sign of stored trauma.
65
That's why a lot of people have anxiety first thing in the morning.
66
It's stored trauma.
67
Yes, yes.
68
And laying in bed and staring at the ceiling, this was my rock bottom moment.
69
When I was 41 years old, my husband and I found ourselves $800 ,000 in debt.
70
And I lost my job we had three kids under the age of 10 and I could not get out of bed.
71
The alarm would ring and it was like the anxiety was a gravity blanket.
72
I would lay there like a human pot roast marinating in my problems, my fears, like, how are we gonna get out of this?
73
And I'd start thinking about it, meaning I'm ruminating now.
74
This is how the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 theory came about.
75
Yes.
76
And so one night I got this idea.
77
It's divine intervention.
78
I was giving myself a pep talk.
79
I don't know if you've ever gotten to a point in your life where things are really so low, you're talking to yourself out loud.
80
Yes.
81
I mean, that's a low moment. That is.
82
And I'm like, that's it, Mel.
83
It's an arm warning, woman.
84
It's a new you.
85
You know, you gotta stop drinking so much.
86
You gotta stop screaming at your husband.
87
You gotta call your parents.
88
You gotta get a job.
89
You gotta get these kids on the bus.
90
And by God, woman, when that alarm rings, you have got to get out of bed.
91
You cannot hit that snooze button six times.
92
And at that moment, a rocket ship launched across the television screen.
93
And I was like, it's a sign from God.
94
Five, four, three, two, one, go.
95
When that alarm rings, you're going to move so fast, you're not going to be in that bed when that anxiety hits.
96
And that very next morning, it was a Tuesday in February in 2008, outside of Boston, Massachusetts.
97
Your one decision from a different life.
98
And the decision that changed my life was the decision to get out of bed that morning.
99
Wow.
100
And there is this moment of hesitation.
101
It's this window of time, Oprah, where you have this thought, right?
102
Where you know what you should or could do.
103
and you stop and you think about whether or not you want to.
104
And it's in this five -second window of thinking,
105
you go up about what you want to do and whether or not you feel like doing it.
106
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
107
I don't want to, how's this going to help?
108
This is where anxiety comes in.
109
This is where all the stress comes, this is where procrastination comes in.
110
And so that morning, I remembered the rocket launch, but I stopped and I started to think.
111
And this moment of hesitation opens up
112
And I felt myself reaching for the snooze button like I had done so many mornings
113
because I was in this anxiety cycle, which makes you avoid things.
114
It makes you run away from things.
115
Was this before or after the TED Talk where you had a panic attack?
116
Oh, it was way before.
117
This is what led to it.
118
Yeah.
119
So I literally felt myself going, how's this gonna help?
120
I made $100 ,000 in debt.
121
I don't feel like getting up.
122
I'm so anxious.
123
How's this?
124
And then I went five, four, three, two, one, and I stood up. and something interesting happened.
125
When you move, you move from here to here. From here to here.
126
You stop thinking and you do.
127
Yeah.
128
And the action overrides the swirling thoughts and sensation and reconnects you with your power.
129
And that was the beginning of an entirely new life.
130
It was how I started to cure my anxiety and heal it
131
and stop responding to uncertainty by doubting my capacity and capability to deal with it.
132
And anybody can develop this skill
133
where you find yourself in a moment where you hesitate
134
and you start to doubt yourself and you start to feel anxious and you just go five,
135
four, three, two, one and you push through it and you take the next right step.
136
And that first step is counting backwards.
137
And what I know now, because this is spread around the world, it is used in clinical settings.
138
It's incredible for OCD and PTSD.
139
I know of over a thousand people have stopped themselves from committing suicide.
140
Wow.
141
Because they counted five, four, three, two, one in that moment after they hesitated.
142
And also what you shared with us today to be able to...
143
Put your hand on the heart and you can lay in bed if you feel yourself swirling and go,
144
I'm okay, I'm safe, I'm loved, and I'm capable.
145
Five, four, three, two, one.
146
Let's go.
147
Let's go and the action proves that you are.
148
The action quiets the mind.
149
The action aligns the emotion in your body with forward momentum.
150
And just like a domino, that first one that tips can tip the second one, but those two then can tip something 10 times its size.
151
And move you in a different direction.
152
Correct.
153
Absolutely.
154
And so I counted five, four, three, two, one all day long, every day.
155
And it became a tool to help me push through those moments of anxiety.
156
Procrastination.
157
Correct.
158
Yes.
159
Correct.
160
And that's what turned my life around.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
