1
Look at that.
2
Oh my gosh.
3
Look at it.
4
This reality is something else.
5
My beautiful friends.
6
Look how gorgeous light is.
7
Ah, I'm in heaven.
8
It's the simple things, it's the simple things in life that can honestly bring the most joy.
9
Like a beautiful sunset on a beach.
10
Just a walk, I'm on my own.
11
I'm going to keep this one real short for you.
12
I could have not shared this moment with you.
13
It doesn't matter how hard it gets, it's always worth it.
14
It's always, always worth it.
15
Remember that. Or don't.
16
Forget it.
17
You will remember it when you come out the other side of whatever it is you're moving through.
18
It wasn't that long ago that I was in a state where I was like, I couldn't even get out of bed in the I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning.
19
I didn't want to eat the right food.
20
I didn't want to move my body.
21
I didn't want to go for a walk because I was stuck in the pit and that's okay.
22
But there was a part of me
23
that was like this isn't going to last forever
24
and it's worth it it's worth moving through it keep going I don't know who needs to hear this
25
but I needed to hear this a few times
26
keep going it's so worth it in fact the hard parts make this worth it like the appreciation
27
that I can have when I'm just feeling normal I'm so much more grateful gratitude is through the roof
28
thanks to the difficult times besides
29
joy and peace
30
and happiness wouldn't really have the same sort of value without
31
a little bit of despair a little bit of chaos
32
and a little bit of depression
33
when i'm feeling depressed sometimes i feel really guilty as well like i shouldn't be feeling this way
34
or if i'm feeling angry
35
especially if I'm feeling angry because I was programmed as a kid to feel shame when I'm angry, to feel shame when I'm sad,
36
actually to feel shame around any kind of authentic expression of my emotions.
37
So I had to reprogram that so that I could express myself,
38
which helps lift me out of depression look at this ah okay
39
and so if you're this
40
if you're like me where you kind of feel like oh
41
my god i shouldn't be feeling this acceptance is your first invitation accept how the way things are we can't actually
42
take any steps forwards until we accept the way things are in this moment it's part of the process
43
don't should on yourself oh i should be feeling happier than this
44
or i should be calm or i should be more healed than this
45
or i should be this that and the other or i shouldn't be this shouldn't be that.
46
Fuck that.
47
You are perfect as you are.
48
And quite frankly, depression, anxiety, mental health, disorders, right?
49
They're called disorders as if there's something wrong.
50
In the current societal paradigm that we're in, depression and anxiety is actually the correct human response.
51
There is nothing wrong with you for feeling depressed in a paradigm
52
that is worshipping capitalism
53
and profit as its main god depression is the correct response to someone who feels a lot
54
or or anybody Anybody who feels anything.
55
Anybody who feels anything.
56
And is connected to the truth of how savage the current paradigm is that humans are operating in.
57
You are not wrong for feeling depressed.
58
You are not wrong for feeling anxious.
59
You are not wrong for feeling fucking anger either.
60
We don't project it at other people, but these are beautiful, authentic human responses from the humanity within you.
61
from that energy wanting and wanting change in the world.
62
That's psychopathic.
63
When you can't empathically connect to other humans around you, that's psychopathic.
64
And how fucked is it, by the way, that in Western medicine,
65
these authentic human responses to the current paradigm are seen as pathologies,
66
like there's something wrong with you and not the whole system, that's fucked, mate.
67
But it's changing, which is great news.
68
Meanwhile, feel your feelings, release them,
69
express yourself, and be really kind and gentle with yourself and everybody else as we go through these intense times.
70
Peace.
71
I love you.
72
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.
