Hi, my dear friends.

It's Jenny here.

I just want to take a moment to say thank you for being here,

for listening, and for growing with me through this little space we've created together.

Every message, every comment, every quiet moment you spend with English and chill means more than you know.

We're getting closer to 100,000 subscribers,

and it honestly feels so special.

If this podcast has ever helped you feel calmer,

more confident, or simply less alone while learning English,

I'd really love for you to subscribe and continue this journey with us.

This space has never been about perfect English.

It's about learning gently, listening with ease,

and allowing yourself to grow without pressure.

And seeing so many of you connect with that makes everything feel meaningful.

And today, I just want to leave you with a soft question to reflect on.

When was the last time you felt proud of yourself,

without needing anything big to happen?

Not a promotion.

Not a perfect result.

Not someone else saying, good job.

Just you, noticing yourself.

Because most of us don't do that.

We wait.

tell ourselves, I'll be proud when I finally get there.

When life looks more impressive.

When everything feels more certain.

When we become a version of ourselves that somehow feels more acceptable.

But here's the strange part.

You are already doing things that deserve to be seen.

And you keep walking past them like they don't count.

Like waking up on On a day when your body feels heavy

and your mind is already tired before the day even begins and still choosing to get up.

No one claps for that.

No one even notices.

But you did it anyway.

Or finishing something small, a task, a message, a responsibility.

Even when you didn't feel motivated at all.

You didn't feel inspired.

You just showed up and did it.

It's not dramatic.

But it's real.

And maybe this sounds familiar.

You complete something, and instead of pausing, you move on immediately.

Your mind goes straight to what's missing.

What's not good enough?

What still needs to be fixed?

You don't even give yourself one full second to say, I did that.

I've done this too.

There were days when I finished recording something,

and instead of feeling good about it,

I kept replaying the parts I didn't like.

The tone, the wording, the small mistakes that probably no one else would even notice.

And it didn't matter how much effort I put in.

My mind would still say,

it could have been better.

And maybe you know that voice.

It doesn't scream.

It just quietly takes things away from you.

Even your own progress.

So over time, something happens.

You keep moving.

You keep trying.

You keep improving in small, invisible ways.

But inside, it still feels like you're not doing enough.

Not because you aren't growing,

but because you never stop long enough to recognize it.

And I think that's what makes this topic feel a little uncomfortable.

Being proud of yourself sounds simple.

But when you actually try to do it, it feels unfamiliar.

Almost like you're doing something wrong.

Like, do I really deserve to feel this way?

So instead, you wait for something bigger.

Something undeniable.

Something that finally gives you permission.

But what if?

That moment never feels the way you expect.

What if you reach it,

and your mind just moves the finish line again?

Then you keep going, still waiting,

still holding back that one simple sentence you could say to yourself right now.

So before we go any further,

I want to ask you something.

Just one thing.

What is one small thing you did today that you didn't give yourself credit for?

So why does it feel like,

no matter what you do, it's still not enough?

Even when you're trying.

Even when you're actually making progress.

There's this quiet pattern that a lot of people don't notice at first.

You reach something, and almost immediately,

your mind moves the standard.

Not in a dramatic way.

It's subtle.

You finish a task.

Okay, but I should be doing more.

You improve.

It's still not where it should be.

You get closer.

Other people are already ahead.

100

It's like the finish line keeps stepping back just as you get close to it.

101

And after a while, it stops feeling like progress.

102

It just feels like… chasing.

103

I remember a time when I was trying to be more consistent with my work.

104

I told myself, if I can just show up every day for a week, I'll feel proud.

105

That was the deal.

106

And I did it.

107

Seven days.

108

No excuses.

109

But on the seventh day,

110

instead Instead of feeling anything,

111

my mind said, it's only one week.

112

Anyone can do that.

113

Let's see if you can do a month.

114

And just like that, the feeling disappeared.

115

Nothing changed on the outside.

116

But inside, it felt like I was back at zero.

117

Maybe you felt that too.

118

That strange moment where you achieve something you once wanted,

119

but it doesn't land the way you thought it would.

120

And part of it comes from comparison.

121

Not always obvious comparison.

122

Sometimes it's quiet.

123

You scroll for a few minutes.

124

You see someone doing more, doing better, moving faster.

125

And even if you don't consciously think,

126

I'm behind, your body kind of feels it.

127

A small drop in energy.

128

A small shift in how you see yourself.

129

suddenly, your own effort looks smaller, less impressive, less important.

130

But there's another layer to this.

131

Something deeper than standards or comparison.

132

It's the way you talk to yourself.

133

If someone else did exactly what you did today,

134

would you speak to them the same way you speak to yourself?

135

Would you say, that doesn't count,

136

you could have done better, it's not enough?

137

Or would you say, hey, that actually matters.

138

Most people don't realize how constant that inner voice is.

139

It's not loud.

140

It doesn't feel aggressive.

141

But it's there, all the time.

142

And it slowly shapes what you believe you deserve to feel.

143

So even when you do something good,

144

even when you move forward,

145

there's a part of you that quietly blocks the feeling.

146

Like pride is something you have to earn through perfection.

147

Through doing everything right.

148

Through reaching some final version of yourself that doesn't really exist.

149

And because of that, you stay in this in-between space.

150

Working.

151

Trying.

152

Improving.

153

But never quite allowing yourself to feel like it counts.

154

Not yet.

155

Not enough.

156

Not you.

157

And maybe the real question isn't,

158

Why am I not doing enough?

159

Maybe it's Why do I keep taking it away from myself,

160

even when I am?

161

Let me shift your attention a little.

162

Because maybe the problem isn't that you're not doing enough.

163

Maybe it's that you've been trained to only recognize a very specific kind of enough.

164

The loud kind.

165

The visible kind.

166

The kind that other people can see and easily understand.

167

But real growth.

168

doesn't usually look like that.

169

It's much quieter.

170

Sometimes, it looks like you almost reacting the way you used to.

171

And then, stopping.

172

Just for a second.

173

Maybe no one else notices that pause.

174

But that pause didn't exist before.

175

That's change.

176

Or the way you handle something now.

177

A little less emotionally.

178

A little more calmly.

179

Not perfect.

180

Still messy. But different. That matters.

181

Or even something as simple as trying again.

182

Not because you feel confident.

183

Not because you're sure it will work.

184

But because you didn't quit.

185

There was a time when you would have stopped.

186

Avoided it.

187

Told yourself, it's not for me.

188

But now, you try again.

189

And it doesn't feel like a big moment.

190

It feels...normal.

191

And that's exactly why you overlook it.

192

Because your brain is still looking for something dramatic.

193

Something that feels like a clear before and after.

194

But growth rarely announces itself like that.

195

It hides in repetition.

196

In small decisions.

197

In the way you show up on ordinary days.

198

I remember a message someone once shared.

199

They said, Nothing in my life has really changed.

200

I'm still in the same place.

201

But when they described their day.

202

Everything was different.

203

They were waking up earlier.

204

They were finishing tasks they used to avoid.

205

They were speaking a little more confidently in conversations.

206

Not perfectly. But consistently.

207

And the strange part?

208

They still felt like nothing had changed.

209

Because there was no big moment to point to.

210

No clear milestone.

211

Just small shifts, repeated over time.

212

And I think that's where a lot of people get stuck.

213

You're becoming someone new, in such a gradual way,

214

that you don't recognize yourself changing.

215

But if the version of you from a year ago could see you right now,

216

not your results, not your achievements.

217

Just the way you think,

218

the way you respond, the way you keep going,

219

they would probably be surprised, maybe even proud.

220

But you don't feel that because you're standing too close to your own progress.

221

You only see what's missing, not what's already different.

222

So maybe it's time to look at your life in a different way,

223

not through big outcomes, but through patterns.

224

Ask yourself, Do I handle things a little better than before?

225

Do I recover faster when something goes wrong?

226

Do I try again more often than I used to?

227

If the answer is even slightly, yes.

228

That's not small.

229

That's the direction of your life changing.

230

And the truth is, the strongest version of you won't be built in one big moment.

231

It's being built right now.

232

In ways that are easy to ignore, but impossible to fake.

233

there's something we don't really talk about enough.

234

Most people are not lacking discipline.

235

They're lacking recognition.

236

They're doing things.

237

Showing up.

238

Trying again.

239

But because they never acknowledge it,

240

their mind starts to believe nothing is happening.

241

And that slowly turns into a very quiet kind of exhaustion.

242

Not the kind where you're physically tired,

243

But the kind where you feel like, what's the point?

244

Because no matter what you do,

245

it never feels like it counts.

246

And this is where a small shift can change a lot.

247

Learning to respect your own effort.

248

Not in a loud way.

249

Not in an ego way.

250

Just in an honest way.

251

Because being proud of yourself is not arrogance.

252

It's not pretending you're perfect.

253

It's not ignoring your flaws.

254

It's simply saying, I see what I'm doing.

255

That's it.

256

But if you've spent a long time being hard on yourself,

257

this can feel uncomfortable, almost unnatural.

258

You might even feel like,

259

if I acknowledge myself, I'll become lazy.

260

Or if I feel satisfied, I'll stop improving.

261

But in reality, the opposite is true.

262

People who never feel enough are the ones who burn out the fastest.

263

Because they are always chasing, but never arriving.

264

I've seen this in myself too.

265

There were periods where I kept pushing,

266

thinking, just a little more, just a little better.

267

And no matter how much I did, it never landed.

268

There was always another version I needed to reach.

269

And after a while, it stopped feeling like growth.

270

just felt heavy.

271

Like I was carrying something,

272

without ever putting it down.

273

And the moment things started to shift,

274

it wasn't when I did more.

275

It was when I paused.

276

Just for a second.

277

After finishing something, instead of moving on immediately, I stayed there.

278

And I said quietly, Okay, I did that.

279

No celebration.

280

No big emotion.

281

Just recognition.

282

And it It felt small at first.

283

But over time, it changed the way I experienced my own life.

284

Because your brain learns from what you repeat.

285

If you constantly ignore your effort,

286

your brain learns this doesn't matter.

287

If you constantly criticize yourself,

288

your brain learns this is not enough.

289

But if you start noticing,

290

even a little, your brain begins to register progress.

291

And that builds something deeper than motivation.

292

It builds self-respect.

293

So maybe it doesn't need to be complicated.

294

When you finish something, pause for a moment.

295

When you try again, notice it.

296

When you handle something better than before, don't skip past it.

297

Just say, that's different.

298

Because no one else lives inside your effort.

299

No one else sees the small decisions you make every day.

300

So, if you don't recognize them, no one will.

301

And over time, you'll start to feel like you're invisible, even to yourself.

302

But you're not.

303

You've been there the whole time.

304

You just haven't been looking.

305

There's something I want to leave you with,

306

and it might feel a little uncomfortable at first.

307

You don't need permission to be proud of yourself.

308

Not from other people.

309

Not from results.

310

Not from some future version of you that finally gets everything right.

311

Because if you keep waiting for that moment,

312

you might be waiting for a very long time.

313

Not because you won't grow,

314

but because your mind will keep changing the rules.

315

You'll reach something, and then tell yourself it's not enough.

316

You'll improve, and then compare it to someone else.

317

You'll get closer, and then focus on what's still missing.

318

So, the feeling you're waiting for never really arrives.

319

And that's the quiet trap.

320

You think pride is something you earn at the end.

321

But in reality, it's something that allows you to keep going.

322

It's not the reward.

323

It's part of the process.

324

Because when you never feel proud of yourself,

325

everything starts to feel heavier.

326

Even small things feel like pressure.

327

Even progress feels like obligation.

328

Even effort feels invisible.

329

And slowly, you disconnect from your own journey.

330

You're still moving, still trying, but it feels empty.

331

Like you're doing everything without actually feeling anything.

332

I've had moments like that too,

333

where I kept going, kept working, kept showing up.

334

But inside, it felt flat,

335

like none of it was really landing.

336

And I thought the answer was to push more,

337

to do more, to fix more things.

338

But that wasn't what I needed.

339

What I needed was to stop taking everything away from myself.

340

To stop acting like nothing counted unless it was perfect.

341

To stop delaying that simple sentence I could have said all along.

342

I'm proud of myself for this.

343

Not for everything.

344

Not for being perfect.

345

Just for something.

346

Because the truth is, you are trying.

347

Even on the days when it feels messy.

348

even on the days when you doubt yourself,

349

even on the days when you don't feel strong at all.

350

You are still here, and that matters more than you think.

351

So tonight, before you go to sleep,

352

I want you to do something small, nothing complicated.

353

Just take a moment and choose one thing,

354

maybe something no one else would notice,

355

maybe something you almost ignored,

356

and say it quietly if you want.

357

I'm proud of myself for this.

358

And if you feel comfortable,

359

you can share it in the comments.

360

Just one small thing.

361

It doesn't have to sound impressive.

362

I'll be reading them.

363

And maybe someone else will read yours and feel a little less alone too.

364

And if this episode stayed with you in some way,

365

you can save it or come back to it on a day when you feel like nothing you do is enough.

366

We're all learning how to see ourselves more clearly,

367

slowly, in our own way.

368

All right, that's all for today.

369

Take care of yourself, and I'll see you in the next one.

370

Bye-bye.

371

Thank you.
