Pratique du Shadowing: the art of acceptance - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

It's very easy to romanticize a faraway place or a job or a version of ourselves like,

oh, once I go there or once I have that or once I'm this age or once I find that person, then I'll be happy or then things will make sense.

I really just don't think that life works that way.

I believe that there's a balance.

I believe that understanding and processing our emotions is a very important part of our life,

but I don't think that we should bow down to them and live by them as truth because they're not.

A lot of the time, they're not based on truth.

Are we willing to humble ourselves?

Are we willing to be embarrassed?

Are we willing to be vulnerable?

Are we willing to fall down and get up and try again?

Are we willing to do it one way and then maybe do it another way?

Are we willing to experiment?

Are we willing to meet different types of people, put ourselves out there, put our art out there, put our efforts, whatever they may be,

this whole journey of moving towards what I want to do has built me up

and it has broken me down and it's split me open and it showed me, okay, this is how I really feel about myself, about my work.

What is separating you from your dream?

Is it that uncomfortable, scary in between of the risks, the change, going towards what we want shows us

why we don't have it yet and and where it is

that we need to be right now and the lessons

that we need to learn right now i can make mistakes

and that doesn't mean that i'm not cut out for what it is

that i want to do it means that i'm working on it

and that i can still actively pursue what it is

that i want even

when it doesn't look perfect we get there through accepting where we're at now and embracing it and using these feelings,

transmuting these feelings, accepting these feelings.

We talked about the reality of change,

and with that comes so many different emotions, excitement,

grief all of these things that i have been experiencing i can be feeling low

and also continue to move through my life move through my day continue to witness new experiences

and things even if i'm afraid or even if i'm uncomfortable

or anxious or any of these negative emotions I think so much of the time we let them scare us.

We let them stop us.

We say, oh, I don't want to make that change because it's going to be uncomfortable.

It's going to be scary.

It's going to cause me to have to maybe make a psychological change or a physical change.

And there's even discomfort in experiencing positive new things like meeting new people or going to a new place.

Everything comes with its ups and downs.

Recently, what's been bringing me a lot of peace is not forcing myself to feel a certain way

or to not feel a certain way, allowing all of it to be able to be true at once.

Because that's life, nothing ever stays the same, and that may be obvious,

but that feels like a truth that I'm really learning these days that I, at first, I was like, oh that means I can't count on anything,

and how can I ever feel stable if I'm always really living in the unknown, but I don't think it has to be scary that way.

I think we can bring ourselves into the present moment and accept, realize that it's okay to be afraid, it's okay whatever does come up in the unknown.

I've been trying to sit with that.

Instead of intellectualizing the feelings that come up in me, in my life, in my experiences, I tend to do that.

It kind of feels like maybe I'll have a feeling good or bad and then it immediately wants to become a thought.

I want to intellectualize it.

I want to understand it

and I feel like I've been getting better at just accepting it as it is for what it is,

not forcing things, just accepting that all of these things can exist at once.

And it definitely, this has all definitely come up now, being in a big city and having my own personal experience,

but also witnessing around me that there are so many things happening at once.

So many different people, so many different missions and daily tasks and jobs and opportunities and conversations and people sitting at cafes,

people working, people walking, people on the train, people on the bus, people in cars.

It's just constantly

moving and going and going and this is always happening

but I think being in an environment where I'm surrounded by

that and I'm witnessing so many different lives and

so many different things happening at once it's it's kind of mirroring back to me

that like acceptance that I'm having with myself and all of my feelings

and emotions I I'm seeing it take place around me as well,

and for so long I would hear people talk about how maybe they were chasing a dream or an accomplishment,

a goal, and when they finally reached it, they were a bit disappointed.

It didn't feel the way that they thought it would, and I guess that is kind of what I'm facing,

is that situation of wherever you go, you bring yourself.

It's very easy to romanticize a faraway place or a job or a version of ourselves like,

oh once I go there or once I have that or once I'm this age or once I find that person, then I'll be happy or then things will make sense

or then I can allow myself to do x y

and z and i really just don't think that life works

that way i feel like i've been hit with that realization time

and time again one of my friends um we had breakfast before i left for my trip

and he kind of said this to me he has a

bit of a harsh way of of speaking sometimes about these things are not harsh, but just blatant and honest.

And he was like, you know,

don't be disappointed if things suck or if you feel awful when you go move to another city or,

you know, don't be, don't expect anything, just allow it to be.

And that's a lot easier said than done, especially for someone who likes to visualize and romanticize and plan.

I wanted things to

go a certain way and it's good to have intentions and

and to move with those

but also I'm learning the art of acceptance I think it's

allowing me to move through life a bit more freely

and to experience life more fully you know people always say be present be in the moment this

and that and I think that's hard for a lot of people to do

because we're constantly caught up in social media and work

and what do we have to do how do we have to prepare what's going on this this

that like keeping ourselves in this survival mode go go go

it's it's hard sometimes to just let ourselves be present

and it's something that i've i've really thought about for a long time reading you know eckhart tolle

and all these different types of philosophies that really come down to enlightenment being sourced from the present moment,

from being present, from, you know, feeling there's different exercises.

You notice all of the things that you can see, all of the things that you can hear.

What do you feel on your skin?

How do your clothes feel on you?

Doing that one at a time, like first you do everything you can see.

This really helps if you're ever feeling anxious, overwhelmed, overstimulated.

You do everything you can see first, and then everything you can hear,

100

and then what you feel physically, I think.

101

I hope I'm not butchering this.

102

I think that's how it goes.

103

By the end, once you do those three separately, you bring them all together in one.

104

And I find that to be a nice exercise getting in the present moment, but sometimes we don't really feel like we have time for this

105

and we don't make the constant effort to bring ourselves back in to what's happening now.

106

Accepting how I'm feeling has helped me be more present

107

because I find myself constantly trying to push away my anxiety and trying to,

108

you know, getting mad at myself for not enjoying or not being more positive or not being more productive.

109

Like I waste so much time beating myself up for how I actually feel

110

that it kind of just suppresses it and suppresses it until it builds up

111

and there's a deeper issue at the end of the day, it all comes up and I don't want to do that.

112

Um, like I've said, and there's a difference between acceptance and enabling.

113

I don't think that we should live under the whim of our feelings

114

and let that dictate our every move and hold our emotional state as a constant truth.

115

I don't believe that that is, I believe that there's a balance.

116

I believe that understanding and processing our emotions is a very important part of our life, but I don't think that we should bow down to them

117

and live by them as truth

118

because they're not a lot of the time they're not based

119

on truth they're based on how our nervous system is trying to survive

120

or how we're interpreting this life

121

and just it's very personal you know there's a difference between processing

122

and then acting out of the feelings all of the time

123

when i say an acceptance i don't mean just saying okay i accept

124

that i'm angry so i'm just going to act out of my anger

125

and i'm going to continue to enable this feeling over and over again.

126

I don't mean it like that.

127

I mean it that instead of pushing something down, pushing something down, avoiding it, trying to run away from it,

128

having some acceptance that it's there.

129

I'm feeling this for a reason.

130

We can look into it.

131

We don't have to intellectualize it and obsess over it or run away from it or be afraid of it,

132

but just realizing that it's there and everything can be true.

133

And the reason that I am thinking about this so much is

134

because I am in a place that I have always wanted to be and that I find so much beauty in,

135

so much joy, like I said, just being surrounded by so many different people and

136

so many different lives happening at once and many different flowers

137

and different parks and buildings and neighborhoods and areas

138

and people in my mind it didn't make sense to be in an environment

139

that i love so much and also feel grief

140

or also feel heartbroken or also feel angry at myself

141

or feel shame i just those two didn't mix for me

142

i said no i i'm not allowed i did i wasn't allowing myself to feel those things because I just,

143

I thought that that would be taking away from my experience and that that would be doing myself a disservice,

144

which in a way, like, it is true.

145

I think, like I said, intention is important and I really do have the intention of continuing to make the most of my days while I'm here.

146

I think that's another thing is I know that I have limited time where I'm at,

147

so that's kind of another internal pressure that causes a lot of shame to come up and like, why am I feeling the way that I'm feeling?

148

Just like that internal conflict.

149

But the way that we get the most out of our time

150

and out of our life and out of our everyday is feeling it all, accepting it as it is.

151

And it's okay.

152

I guess I'm realizing that the dream that I was always chasing and searching for, the reality of what that looks like,

153

it can all be part of the dream.

154

you know like today i went to the flower market

155

and i got these wonderful hydrangeas and the sea lavender

156

and before that

157

when i was on my walk to the train i was crying about something been crying all morning

158

but still running off to a meeting that i have and it can all exist together.

159

I've been really emotional this morning and we're doing it anyways.

160

We're gonna go meet a new person, go to the flower market.

161

I've been wiping my tears away.

162

It can all exist together.

163

And instead of being so upset and letting that ruin my day, I'm gonna let it move through me.

164

I'm going to accept that yes, I was really anxious and upset this morning And I also walked to the train.

165

I got on I went to a new part of town I got these flowers.

166

I met up with a new friend

167

and I did it anyways I didn't let it stop me

168

and i've noticed that when I suppress those emotions and

169

when I try to push them away and when I try to pretend like they don't exist, they do come up in a way that ends up stopping me from doing things.

170

It just, it gets pent up and it becomes more powerful and that can inhibit me from living my life.

171

So I, this is what I mean by this art of acceptance, letting it happen.

172

That's all we can really do in this life.

173

For so long, I was so afraid of feeling emotions organically.

174

I thought, no, I'm going to curate a place in time to feel grief or to feel sad.

175

I know that sounds kind of crazy, but I just didn't, I was overwhelmed at the idea of life happening to me

176

and letting it happen and letting these emotions such as grief or anxiety or like any of these feelings,

177

jealousy, embarrassment, all the things that we've talked about in these episodes.

178

I feel like I intellectualized them so much that I wanted to curate when I could feel them, when I was allowed to feel them

179

and I was afraid to let life happen to me organically and to experience it and let it move through me.

180

I wanted to control my experience somehow

181

and it's definitely a process learning to let go of that

182

and learning to let things in and through but that's what getting closer

183

and closer to my dream and everything

184

that I've ever wanted has shown me is it doesn't look like some perfect picture in your mind, but yes, the beautiful parts exist.

185

Yes, the excitement is there.

186

All of the glorious things exist, and also some really sad things do too,

187

and new experiences that you've never felt before also are there.

188

It can all exist in one, and this city is teaching me that in a physical

189

and emotional sense it's so easy to give up on a dream

190

and say okay that's not for me because it means

191

that i have to be more confident or that i have to

192

or i don't know i guess a common thing

193

that i hear with like artists and goals that we have

194

or creative pursuits and it doesn't have to just be creative just anything in life

195

when we're working towards something or we have a vision in our mind, I think we keep it far away or we keep ourselves separate from it because we realize,

196

oh, I actually have to become confident in myself

197

or I actually have to make that scary leap or decision

198

or risk or be willing to let go of something in order to bring something else in.

199

And when we try, sometimes it doesn't feel the way

200

that we thought it would like

201

or maybe i could just talk about my my own example

202

of this would be i since i was very young i

203

always envisioned myself on a stage performing my poetry i love

204

music i love literature i love all these things i've not

205

ever really i never want to say never never want to say never i am very interested in music

206

and music production it continues as i grow older to intrigue me more and more.

207

I'm going to acquire skills in different, all different mediums that I'm interested in,

208

but I have to say that I never really had a dream of singing on a stage or something like that.

209

It was always doing some sort of reading, sharing poetry, sharing a story, and having other elements involved in it as well,

210

such as nature or maybe theatrics, maybe music, maybe color,

211

photography video like all these different elements that has always been my dream

212

and i've always envisioned myself doing it on a stage in front of many people

213

and that was a vision that comforted me and brought me excitement

214

and joy and was fun to think about and then the more

215

that i kept moving towards that dream the more real it got

216

and i think that's when that's when we get a little scared is when things start to get real, when things, you know, start to challenge us.

217

It's challenge, you know, we challenge what we're really willing to go through and to do.

218

Are we willing to humble ourselves?

219

Are we willing to be embarrassed?

220

Are we willing to be vulnerable?

221

Are we willing to fall down and get up and try again?

222

Are we willing to do it one way and then maybe do it another way?

223

Are we willing to experiment?

224

Are we willing to meet different types of people, put ourselves out there, put our art out there, put our efforts, whatever they may be out there.

225

And what does that mean?

226

How will we be perceived?

227

How will we perceive ourselves?

228

You know, I feel like this whole journey of moving towards what I want to do has built me up

229

and it has broken me down and it's, it's split me open and it showed me, okay, this is how I really feel about myself,

230

about my work, about how I feel about presenting it to others or interacting with others.

231

Like the essence of the show, my first episode that I ever did was confidence is uncomfortable.

232

And my whole message with that is to be confident,

233

we have to take a look and see what's going on there.

234

What is keeping us from that?

235

What is separating you from your dream? is it

236

that uncomfortable scary in between of the risks the change dr joe dispensa i i like the way

237

that he talks about the mind and how it's like an animal

238

and it runs on a certain circuit even if it's causing destruction

239

or bringing us to a place in life

240

that we don't want to be in

241

or how we don't want to see things if our mind

242

and my therapist actually just talked about this too if our mind is on a circuit that it has learned,

243

it's going to keep going until we make a conscious effort to change the story, to change the circuit.

244

And sometimes that requires going over and over and over again.

245

And I remember I had a religious friend who God was something that psychologically aided her.

246

And she said it was like a constant surrender.

247

And I think about that in this psychological sense of it all as well of like

248

if you want to change your life if you want to change your mind

249

or change the way you're moving towards your goals

250

or how you feel it can feel like a constant redirection a constant surrender to the unknown

251

or to whatever you believe in or to the dream

252

that you're following this is not just a one

253

and done like oh this is what i want to do

254

and i'm gonna go do it it's it will really i mean i guess it depends what it is

255

that you're you're after but i i think a lot of the time going towards what we want shows us

256

why we don't have it yet and and where it is

257

that we need to be right now and the lessons

258

that we need to learn right now and that's why i'm

259

so grateful and i do feel like despite the fact

260

that i have made mistakes and the process has been anything but perfect but it is all part of the journey.

261

It's all part of the dream.

262

All of these uncomfortable feelings that are coming up for me and that I'm moving through, it's showing me the work, it's showing me the path,

263

it's showing me what is within me and maybe keeping me from what I'm after.

264

I can make mistakes and that doesn't mean that I'm not cut out for what it is that I want to do.

265

It means that I'm working on it and that I can still actively pursue what it is that I want,

266

even when it doesn't look perfect.

267

Like I said, I've just kept myself in this little bubble of shame and that makes me feel stagnant.

268

It makes me stagnant whenever these emotions pile up and whenever I, you know, have this sort of looming cloud of disapproval over me,

269

like I'm not good enough or I'm not doing enough or that I'm, you know, too insecure, that I'm too scared or whatever.

270

And it's like, why can't all of that be true?

271

I can be very scared and I can do it at the same time.

272

And that's what I'm showing myself these days is not every day is going to look the same

273

and the beautiful things can exist alongside alongside the ugly

274

and I no longer want to be afraid of those feelings

275

or let them hold me back or let them keep me stagnant or stuck.

276

That dream version of ourselves or the dream

277

that we're chasing doesn't have to be separate from everything that we're going through and that we're feeling.

278

I think it's about bridging them together, finding that middle in between of what's keeping you

279

from that vision and how can we bring it into the present it doesn't mean

280

that there's not room for improvement and

281

that we won't change you know we've talked all about change

282

and it's inevitably happening we are going to develop as we continue to move through life

283

but why are we keeping ourselves stuck saying

284

that oh you know i i want this

285

but like i could never be brave enough to do that

286

or it's too embarrassing or I don't like how are we going to get there

287

if we're keeping ourselves separate from the dream we get there through accepting where we're at now

288

and embracing it and using these feelings transmuting these feelings accepting these feelings

289

and continuing to move forward and that's what I am doing even

290

if I am angry at myself or I feel like I have made certain mistakes

291

or I don't really understand what's coming up for me, it doesn't mean that I still can't get up,

292

that I still can't take myself to do something or have a new experience.

293

Here I am walking my favorite streets in the world in my favorite area of London

294

and I am heartbroken over the same person and I'm angry

295

and I'm sad and I'm mad at myself for making certain decisions.

296

Decisions have consequences, you know, and you have to live them and that's what I'm doing right now.

297

Life is not always fair and it doesn't make sense

298

and it's confusing and it's angering and I'm trying not to cry

299

and just accept that all of it can exist at once and be true.

300

I can be in my favorite place in the world

301

and I can also be facing the consequences for my actions

302

and being angry and looking like a crazy American vlogger on the street

303

and and all of it all of it can exist in one

304

and I'm just trying to accept that reality instead of hating myself for it

305

It's just really frustrating that whenever you pay so much money

306

and mental effort to be somewhere but you decide to with the person

307

that you're trying to get over right before you leave and then you feel like this. So stupid.

308

I don't think that we should just wait until we feel like it's the right moment

309

or whenever we feel like we're ready

310

because like i i never felt truly ready to take a step like this

311

or to even put myself out there

312

or my art out there there was not a moment where i was like okay i'm strong enough now

313

or okay i'm confident enough now no i was i was

314

doing it in the midst of insecurity in the midst of confusion

315

or feeling really vulnerable like it's not confidence doesn't come magically falling down from the sky like it's something

316

that we we move towards

317

that you know that's why people say fake it until you make it that's where we're trying to be

318

but the reality is maybe we don't always feel that way, but doing it anyways.

319

And I've talked about all of this, doing it anyways, and you decide, and I never want to sound repetitive, and I'm sorry if I do,

320

but that message has continued to come up in my mind.

321

I decide what I'm capable of.

322

I don't always decide what happens in my life or how I feel about it, but I do have choices.

323

I can continue to take action even

324

when i don't feel like it we've literally we've talked about

325

all of this i have episodes about all of these different elements of the journey

326

and all of these different philosophies

327

but it's interesting it's just it's crazy how it all comes together

328

and i i see how much i get to choose

329

and it doesn't mean i get to choose how i'm feeling or what's happening around me, but I get to choose how I continue to move forward,

330

and yeah, I'm accepting where I'm at instead of trying to force change or force myself to be something else, be present in my surroundings,

331

in my body, in my feelings, that's really what I'm working on, like I told you in the beginning, is not having to intellectualize every feeling that comes up,

332

letting my body feel what it needs to feel

333

and move through life and i always tell you guys how nature

334

and flowers inspire me to do this they inspire me to

335

let myself go through the natural cycles of life whether

336

that is blooming and colorful or you know something dying

337

and letting it go and being recycled back into the earth again to create new life, like these cycles exist everywhere and they exist within us

338

and I think the more that we try to push against them or force them away, like there's so many things that I didn't want to feel for a really long time

339

and that influenced the way that I moved through life.

340

I had certain habits that were not healthy because I did not want to accept how I was feeling, I didn't want to feel it.

341

I think now I've put myself in certain positions where I've had no choice and it's been grueling, but it's also been a gift.

342

And it's a humbling journey getting to where we want to go

343

and whatever we're fantasizing about getting to that place does not always feel good and it's not always shiny.

344

Sometimes I get frustrated

345

because social media just seems to be an outlet for people to just showcase the good

346

and the shiny and the end product, but not necessarily the process there.

347

We all do it.

348

Like when you look at my Instagram, it looks like I have some great artistic flowering life.

349

And sure, those are elements of it.

350

And for that, I am forever thankful.

351

But how did that come to be?

352

I'll look at kind of the affirmations or the wishes that I wrote down in my journal.

353

I want to be a philosopher.

354

I want to be a philosophical poet, whatever.

355

That sounded like a great fun dream when I was younger, but what does it actually mean to be that

356

and to like understand life like that and to break it down

357

and to interpret it and to experience it and to feel it and to record it and to put it out there, that's a whole thing.

358

And sometimes like you don't see, well, hopefully you do because I try to be, that's why I feel fulfilled by what I do here on

359

YouTube is I try to be as vulnerable as possible

360

and to kind of break the journey down and to analyze it a bit and to showcase the beauty and the hardship.

361

And I'll always try to do that.

362

But yeah whenever you see certain things on social media

363

or like an artist that you look up to

364

or whatever it may be it's like there's

365

so much going on behind all of it like my poetry collection

366

that i'm so proud of was a product of so much pain

367

and heartbreak and allowing myself to feel that and then being able to articulate it,

368

like that's what I've asked for in this life to do.

369

And I guess it's just, it's not always, it's not always pretty.

370

In fact, it's rarely pretty.

371

Maybe the end product is pretty, but it can be an ugly process.

372

And I think that's just what I'm trying to say is accepting it all as a whole.

373

Maybe the journey to your dreams is not as shiny as you imagined it would be as a kid, but these are all steps these are all parts of the process

374

and while I've been here I've been watching Hacks

375

and I know the show came out a while ago

376

and I am late to the party here guys but

377

that show has really just empowered and inspired me so much

378

because I just I mean I could talk about it for a

379

while but I feel like it really just showcases success

380

and also being a woman and a creative or whatever like it's not just handed to you.

381

It's not easy in any sense.

382

And that doesn't mean it's not beautiful and enjoyable at times and rewarding and fulfilling.

383

The journey is, but it's also embarrassing and scary and ugly and not fun sometimes.

384

And I just, I love that show so much.

385

There's so many examples of this and of bringing a goal or a dream or success to fruition, but that's one, that's a show that I've been really enjoying recently.

386

It's been inspiring me to not give up when things feel impossible, when you can't see the way out, or when you don't know how it's going to come to fruition,

387

continuing to believe in it anyways and accept the journey as a whole is what will always bring us closer.

388

And it also, it uncovers so much about what the dream really is to us.

389

Maybe that dream is changing.

390

Maybe it's not exactly what you thought it was when you began.

391

I know that my dreams have definitely, like I said, when I was a little girl wanting to share my writing and art and poetry,

392

like I've always had that core essence of it, but the way that that's looked and the resources that I've gathered throughout life or the communities or people that I've met,

393

like I didn't know that it was going to unfold in those ways and I wasn't expecting it to.

394

I just, I knew that there was a vision that I was following and it was, you know, it's up to me to see

395

that through no matter how humbling or how much of the unknown we have to face.

396

It's all part of it.

397

It's all part of the journey.

398

It's all part of the dream and let's accept that fact.

399

Thank you so much for listening.

400

Thank you for watching and making this arrangement with me.

401

I'm so grateful that you're here, and I hope that you're having a beautiful morning, afternoon, evening.

402

Don't forget that we are on this journey together.

403

Love you guys.

404

Bye.

405

Thank you.

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.
