All right, let's get started with Atomic Habits.

I'm going to read it slowly and I want you to shadow me.

So just read along with me.

I'm probably going to read it more than once.

And whenever I come across a word that I think should be explained, I will explain it.

If I see an interesting pronunciation element, I will teach it.

Same thing about the way I use my voice and intonation to tell the story.

Let's get started.

Atomic Habits, Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results by James Clear.

An excerpt from Chapter 2.

Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?

Form to create, shape, or establish something.

To form good ones.

Few things can have more powerful impact on your life than improving your daily habits.

And yet, it is likely that this time next year, you'll be doing the same thing rather than something better.

Let's do it again.

Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?

So here in this first sentence, we want to compare easy and hard.

And I'm going to use my voice to do that.

Why is it so easy, pitch and length, to repeat bad habits?

I'm also comparing bad habits versus good one.

And so hard to form good ones.

So we have easy, hard, bad habits, good ones.

Let's do it again.

Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?

Few things can have a more powerful impact on your life than improving your daily habits.

And yet, it is likely that this time next year, you'll be doing the same thing rather than something better.

I felt it in my heart, thinking about all the habits that I want to build and I haven't just yet.

Maybe after recording this video, I will.

It often feels difficult to keep good habits going for more than a few days,

even with sincere effort and the occasional burst of motivation.

So occasional is something that happens only once in a while.

It's infrequent and not regular.

Okay?

Occasional.

Every now and then.

So basically what it means that, you know, like sometimes we get really, really motivated and we do something for a few days and then that motivation dies down.

You must know this from English.

I always talk about it to my students who join my programs.

I tell them at the beginning, you're going to be very excited about it.

But if you don't build a habit, you are going to lose that motivation.

So this is exactly that.

And by the way, burst is a sudden, short, intense amount of energy.

Occasional burst.

Okay, you can actually visualize it.

It's something that happens every now and then and then it's something that is very sudden, very short and intense amount of energy, speed, or effort.

Occasional burst of motivation.

Habits like exercise, meditation, journaling, and cooking are reasonable for a day or two and then become a hassle.

A hassle is something that is annoying, difficult, or causes trouble.

So can you relate to that?

Habits like exercise, pitch going up, meditation, journaling, still going up,

and cooking are reasonable for a day or two and then become a hassle.

Good.

So now let's read it again.

Shadow me.

It often feels difficult to keep good habits going for more than a few days,

even with sincere effort and the occasional burst of motivation.

Habits like exercise, meditation, journaling,

and cooking are reasonable for a day or two and then become a hassle.

However, once your habits are established, they seem to stick around forever.

especially the unwanted ones.

So established is to build, set up, or make something permanent and stable.

To establish something.

However, once your habits are established, they seem to stick around forever, especially the unwanted ones.

To stick around is to stay in a place or remain present.

Despite our best intentions, unhealthy habits like eating junk food, watching too much television, procrastinating,

and smoking can feel impossible to break.

Changing our habits is challenging for two reasons.

One, we try to change the wrong thing.

And two, we try to change our habits in the wrong way. In this chapter,

I'll address the first point let's do it again imitate me despite our best intention unhealthy habits like eating junk food

watching too much television procrastinating and smoking can feel impossible to break

changing our habits is challenging for two reasons one we try to change the wrong thing and two,

we try to change our habits in the wrong way.

Do it again with me and when we list the first reason, we stress the word thing and when we list the second reason, we stress the word way.

For two reasons.

One, we try to change the wrong thing and two, we try to change our habits in the wrong way.

In this chapter, I'll address the first point.

Our first mistake is that we try to change the wrong thing.

100

Wrong thing.

101

To understand what I mean, consider that there are three levels at which change can occur.

102

Let's practice the phrase that there are three levels.

103

A lot of THs.

104

That there, TTH that there are,

105

R is reduced, three THR levels at which change can occur, occur, happen, occur.

106

You can imagine them like the layers of an onion.

107

Onion, cup sound, onion, not onion, onion.

108

Let's do it again.

109

Our first mistake is that we try to change the wrong thing.

110

To understand what I mean, consider that there are three levels at which change can occur.

111

You can imagine them like the layers of an onion.

112

The first layer is changing your outcomes.

113

Outcomes.

114

The T is held here.

115

Outcomes.

116

This level is concerned with changing your results.

117

Losing weight, publishing a book, winning a championship.

118

Most of the goals you set are associated with this level of change.

119

Most of the goals you set are associated with this level of change.

120

Let's do that part again.

121

The first layer is changing your outcomes.

122

This level is concerned with changing your results, losing weight, publishing a book.

123

Winning a championship.

124

Most of the goals you set are associated with this level of change.

125

Moving on.

126

The second layer is changing your process.

127

This level is concerned with changing your habits and systems.

128

Say it together.

129

Changing your habits and systems.

130

Concerned with, by the way, is to be about or interested in or focused on concerned with.

131

This level is about changing your habits.

132

Concerned with, think of it as if we're saying this level is about changing your habits.

133

Implementing a new routine at the gym, decluttering your desk for better workflow, developing a meditation practice.

134

Declutter is to remove mess and unneeded things from a place.

135

So decluttering your desk for a better workflow.

136

So you're getting rid of all the things on the table so that you are not distracted.

137

Most of the habits you build are associated with this level.

138

So let's do it again.

139

Just shadow me.

140

This level is concerned with changing your habits and systems, implementing a new routine at the gym,

141

decluttering your desk for better workflow, developing a meditation practice.

142

Most of the habits you build are associated with this level.

143

The third and deepest layer is changing your identity.

144

Identity.

145

You can pronounce the two Ts.

146

Identity.

147

Identity.

148

The third and deepest layer is changing your identity.

149

This level is concerned with changing your beliefs.

150

Beliefs.

151

To believe with a V.

152

And this is belief.

153

A belief.

154

This level is concerned with changing your beliefs, your worldview, world, world, worldview,

155

your self -image, your judgments about yourself and others.

156

Most of the beliefs, assumptions, and biases you hold are associated with this level.

157

Assumptions, bias, biases.

158

Let's do it again.

159

The third and deepest layer is changing your identity.

160

This level is concerned with changing your beliefs, your worldview, your self -image, your judgments about yourself and others.

161

Most of the beliefs, assumptions, and biases you hold are associated with this level.

162

Outcomes are about what you get.

163

Processes are about what you do.

164

Identity is about what you believe.

165

Let's do this part again.

166

It's really good.

167

Outcomes is about what you get.

168

So you have to have a clear vision for what it is that you want.

169

Processes is the how to, how do you get there?

170

It's about what you do.

171

Identity is about what you believe.

172

Am I capable of being a fluent and confident speaker or not?

173

Let's do this part again and talk about it in the context of English because it's so good.

174

Outcomes are about what you get.

175

The outcome, the result, the goal that you have.

176

I want to be able to speak confidently about myself for 10 minutes without stopping even once.

177

Processes are about what you do.

178

It's how you get there.

179

It's the roadmap.

180

Okay, so that means that I need to practice every day for five minutes speaking about myself.

181

That's the process.

182

If I do that every day, I will be able to talk about myself with confidence for five minutes without stopping.

183

Identity is what you believe.

184

I am capable of speaking confidently and freely about myself instead of my English is not good enough.

185

So identity is about what you believe.

186

When it comes to building habits that last.

187

When it comes to.

188

When it comes to.

189

When it comes to is what it is about regarding a specific thing.

190

When it comes to building habits, when it's about building habits that last, when it comes to building a system of 1 % improvements,

191

the problem is not that one level is better or worse than another.

192

All levels of change are useful in their own way.

193

Let's do it The problem is the direction of change.

194

Many people begin the process of changing their habits by focusing on what they want to achieve.

195

Let's do it again.

196

Many people begin the process of changing their habits by focusing on what they want to achieve.

197

I want to be fluent.

198

I want to be confident.

199

I want to get a better job in English.

200

This leads us to outcome -based habits.

201

The alternative is to build identity -based habits.

202

The alternative is to build identity -based habits.

203

With this approach, we start by focusing on who we wish to become.

204

Who we wish.

205

Who we wish.

206

Do it again with me.

207

With this approach, we start by focusing on who we wish to become.

208

So let's repeat it.

209

This leads us to outcome -based habits.

210

The alternative is to build identity -based habits.

211

With this approach, we start by focusing on who we wish to become.

212

Moving on.

213

Imagine two people resisting a cigarette.

214

When offered a smoke, the first person says, No thanks, I'm trying to quit.

215

Tryna, tryna, trying to, tryna, tryna quit.

216

It sounds like a reasonable response, but this person still believes they are a smoker who is trying to be something else.

217

Trying to be, trying to be, trying to be.

218

They are hoping their behavior will change while carrying around the same beliefs.

219

Let's do it again.

220

They are hoping their behavior will change while carrying around the same beliefs.

221

The second person declines by saying, no, thanks.

222

I'm not a smoker.

223

The second person declines by saying, no, thanks.

224

I'm not a smoker.

225

Declines is to say no, to decline.

226

Decline is also what happens to your card when there aren't enough funds on it.

227

The card was declined.

228

But in this context, to say no. Oh, no, thank you.

229

No, thanks.

230

I'm not a smoker.

231

It's a small difference, but this statement signals a shift in identity.

232

Let's do that part again.

233

They're hoping their behavior will change while carrying around the same beliefs.

234

The second person declines by saying, no thanks, I'm not a smoker.

235

It's a small difference, but this statement signals a shift in identity.

236

Smoking was a part of their former life, not their current one.

237

They no longer identify as someone who smokes identify.

238

You can also say identify.

239

Identify.

240

When said quickly, the T often drops.

241

Or even when not said quickly, depending on the speaker.

242

Both are correct.

243

They no longer identify as someone who smokes.

244

Behavior that is incongruent with the self will not last.

245

Incongruent is not matching, out of place, or not fitting together.

246

Incongruent.

247

It's not consistent with.

248

Behavior that is incongruent, incongruent with a self will not last.

249

So if I'm behaving in a way that is not aligned with how I believe about myself, it will not last.

250

So if I think about myself as a bad speaker of English and I'm trying to speak more

251

and I'm trying to be confident and I don't believe that I'm capable of speaking, it's not going to last.

252

I'm going to keep quiet at some point and avoid at some point and it's not going to be consistent.

253

You may want more money, but if your identity is someone who consumes rather than creates,

254

then you'll continue to be pulled towards spending rather than earning.

255

You may want better health, but if you continue to prioritize comfort,

256

over accomplishment, you'll be drawn to relaxing rather than training.

257

You'll be drawn to relaxing rather than training.

258

You'll be drawn to.

259

You'll be drawn to.

260

Be drawn to is to be attracted or interested in something.

261

I'm drawn to practicing English every day.

262

You'll be drawn to relaxing rather than training.

263

It's hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying beliefs that led to your past behavior.

264

Again, it's hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying beliefs that led to your past behavior.

265

Underlying is deep, hidden, or the real reason for something.

266

Underlying.

267

So let's read it again.

268

It's hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying belief that led to your past behavior.

269

you have a new goal and a new plan

270

but you haven't changed who you are let's do it again you have a new goal

271

and a new plan but you haven't changed who you are

272

true behavior change is identity change okay so i want you to think about

273

that concept from the perspective of language learning, right?

274

What is the identity change that we need to go through to be able to see behavior change?

275

What are the beliefs that we have about who we are when it comes to speaking English, practicing English, and how can that change, right?

276

If I'm a person who doesn't have time to practice English, then clearly it's going to be hard to find time to practice English.

277

But if I'm a person who practices English every single day, even if it's for 10 minutes, that's just who I am.

278

You will find a way that behavior is going to be aligned with your identity.

279

You might start a habit because of motivation.

280

I want to learn English.

281

But the only reason you'll stick with one is that it becomes part of your identity.

282

Let's do it again.

283

You might start a habit because of motivation, but the only reason you'll stick with one is that it becomes part of your identity.

284

So think about it.

285

Yeah, you can start a habit, but you don't not stick with it because you don't have time

286

or you are not disciplined or that you are not consistent.

287

Like all of that, yes, but it's probably because it hasn't become a part of who you are and how you think about yourself.

288

Anyone can convince themselves to visit the gym or eat healthy once or twice or practice English every day.

289

But if you don't shift the belief behind the behavior, then it is hard to stick with long -term changes.

290

Let's do it again.

291

Anyone can convince themselves to visit the gym or eat healthy once or twice.

292

But if you don't shift the belief behind the behavior, then it is hard to stick with long -term changes.

293

Long -term, long -term, long -term changes.

294

Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are.

295

Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are.

296

So there are a lot of words that you can connect to here.

297

Let's do it again together.

298

Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are.

299

The goal is not to read a book.

300

The goal is to become a reader.

301

Let's do it again.

302

The goal is not to read a book.

303

The goal is not to read a book.

304

The goal is to become a reader.

305

The goal is not to run a marathon.

306

The goal is to become a runner.

307

Marathon.

308

Marathon.

309

The goal is not to learn an instrument or a language.

310

The goal is to become a musician or a speaker of that language.

311

The goal is not to learn a language.

312

The goal is to become a speaker of that language.

313

Yes, I know I'm cheating a little bit.

314

It's okay.

315

After all, when your behavior and your identity are fully aligned, let's do it again.

316

After all, connect it.

317

After all, after all, when your behavior and your identity are fully aligned,

318

you are no longer pursuing behavior change.

319

You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be.

320

Let's do it again.

321

Focus on connected speech.

322

You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be.

323

And all together, after all, when your behavior and your identity are fully aligned,

324

You are no longer pursuing behavior change.

325

You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be.

326

Well done, my friends.

327

So now, who is the person that you believe yourself to be when it comes to speaking in English?

328

Are you a confident, brave, successful speaker of English as a second language?

329

If you don't believe that to be true, then I'm telling you that you are.

330

And this is the beginning point of you building the habit of practicing English and speaking English regularly,

331

either with my videos or with any other resources that you love working with.

332

Remember that practicing English consistently is the secret to becoming fluent.

333

It's not just about getting the right resources.

334

It's about sitting down and doing the work and building those habits

335

and to be able to build those habits You have to believe that you are capable of speaking English confidently,

336

freely, and fluently.

337

I believe in you.

338

Great job.

339

If you enjoyed this definitely check out part one and Stay tuned for part three.

340

Have a beautiful beautiful rest of the day, and I'll see you next time in the next video.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
