1
Can you be ambitious without overdoing it?
2
Can you be ambitious without pushing yourself too hard?
3
Can ambition exist without anxiety?
4
Can you have ambition while also having inner peace?
5
These are the questions that I ask myself, and I feel like I'm always at a tug and pull between these two sides.
6
My ambitious side that wants to do well and succeed and live to the fullest,
7
and the peaceful side, the side that knows I have to take care of myself first, put my health above everything else,
8
and not push myself too hard because I shouldn't do anything that sacrifices my overall well -being,
9
mental, physical, emotional, spiritual.
10
So I feel like the goal is obviously to live in the balance of these two
11
because if you are an ambitious person, you do want to do a lot with your life.
12
You want to live a full life that you're proud of, and that entails doing a lot sometimes.
13
But there's always this balance of life is not just about one thing.
14
Life is about living everything, but also first and foremost taking care of yourself first, because when you become depleted,
15
everything else in life becomes depleted.
16
Today we're going to talk about how to create a life balancing ambition and wellness,
17
how to stop that habit of pushing yourself too hard past that healthy limit, and how to actually curate your life so
18
that you really know what your priorities are and you have the trust to let everything else go.
19
If you're someone who wants to do a lot and do everything well, this is for you.
20
Okay, now we're talking.
21
Oh my gosh, you guys.
22
The two colors.
23
It's definitely a different vibe from last year.
24
Last year, it was sky and stone, blue and gray.
25
And this year, it is butter and poppy, inspired by the colors of wildflowers.
26
If you've been following my life this past year, first of all, thank you for still watching because I know I've been posting a lot less.
27
Life has been changing a lot for me this past couple years.
28
And if you have been following along, you know that I launched an app.
29
I've been working on my book and I have just been going through a lot of changes.
30
And through those changes this past year, I've noticed my energy shift.
31
So it's so funny because if you go back like two or three years ago,
32
I was in a place where I was so lost in life.
33
I felt like I was ending a chapter.
34
I felt like I had very low energy and motivation for anything.
35
I didn't feel like making videos.
36
I didn't know what was next and I was just lost.
37
And then after that point of being lost, I went into an exploration phase.
38
And then that eventually led me to decide to commit to build an app.
39
And then once I started building my app last year, I became very motivated.
40
I was so focused, working really hard, just envisioning and building this app with my team.
41
And I was so focused on the app throughout launch and the first six months of launch.
42
And then now we are here and I notice my energy is shifting.
43
Not only that, but because I have a lot that I want to accomplish, but so little time and not enough energy to go around.
44
I still feel like I have to show up creating content because content is the foundation of everything that I do.
45
And now that I have this app, there's obviously effort to maintain, upkeep, and create content for the app.
46
And then I also wanted to finish my book proposal, but because I was so busy with other things, I kept pushing that deadline back.
47
And these past two months, like August, September, I was really like,
48
okay, I have to lock down because I have two very important things I want to get done.
49
One is the book proposal, which tentative, don't even know if I will finish it in time, but also my workbook launch because we're launching.
50
I mean, by the time this video is out, the workbook launched.
51
It's like everything at once.
52
And the beginning of this year, I already put my podcast on hiatus.
53
I have all these ideas.
54
There's like content series, products that I want to create,
55
everything off to the side because I just don't have the time and the bandwidth for them.
56
And I noticed something about my energy the past couple months is that I started feeling a little trapped, a little suffocated, a little bit like,
57
oh, why do I put all of these obligations and responsibilities on myself?
58
There seems like there's nothing else I can take off my plate.
59
Like there are certain things that I really care about and I really want to get done.
60
And I just felt so restricted.
61
And I think it's when you start feeling that energy in your life where it's restrictive, that's not a good sign.
62
And not only that, it's because I was so overwhelmed with my obligations
63
that I started to just turn off my brain and go to what's comforting, snacking, watching TV,
64
not doing what I really want to be doing or what I think I should be doing and feeling guilty about it, and that negative loop.
65
Let's talk about it.
66
I'll break this down so it's actionable and helpful for you guys.
67
So if you can relate to that feeling of feeling restricted, trapped, suffocated, because you have too much going on,
68
at the same time you care about everything, you want everything to go well, this is what you have to do.
69
Number one, you have to pay attention to your energy.
70
Your energy is your map and your energy does not lie.
71
No matter how much you try to lie to yourself, your energy is not going to lie.
72
If you are tired and your body is tired, you're going to feel it.
73
No matter how much you try to push through it, the signs will be there if you're aware enough to see it.
74
So number one is you have to pay attention to your energy as your map.
75
And this is yes, for the times where we're like stressed and overworked and burnt out,
76
but it's also for the times where you're feeling lost and you don't know what to do.
77
Wherever your energy is, you should pay attention to what it's telling you.
78
And sometimes you can't take it for face value.
79
If you're feeling lazy and unmotivated, don't just assume that you're lazy and unmotivated.
80
There's a deeper meaning.
81
Are you lazy and unmotivated because you've worked too hard recently and you're tired?
82
Or is it because you're feeling bad about yourself
83
or there's something else going on in your life that you're trying to avoid?
84
Are you lazy and unmotivated because you're running away?
85
Or is it a sign of fear?
86
You really need to develop that awareness to understand what your energy is, but also read underneath.
87
Like what's happening underneath this energy.
88
That's really the story that's happening here.
89
This is where you have to get really honest with yourself
90
because no one on the outside will tell you what's wrong with you.
91
Only you will be able to clearly figure that out
92
if you get real quiet and if you do a lot of reflection, whether it's meditation or journaling, but that is the first step.
93
So notice your energy.
94
Notice when you're feeling exhausted.
95
Give yourself that break.
96
Give yourself grace.
97
Be gentle with yourself.
98
Give yourself love.
99
Treat yourself as the most important person in your life that you love the most because you are.
100
A mantra
101
that I've been telling myself these past few years as I've been changing is to honor my energy create
102
and work when the energy is there.
103
But when the energy is not there, allow myself to rest because my energy is telling me something.
104
This is why, even though I have so much on my plate, I find that I have energy for just the most random things.
105
I felt like starting a sub stack because I wanted to write more this year.
106
Nobody told me to add a new platform, right?
107
I was trying to subtract everything from my life.
108
I was subtracting the podcast.
109
My team was downsizing.
110
There was a lot that I was trying to get off my plate, but at the same time,
111
there was inspiration and energy in a new direction.
112
You should honor your energy, listen to it, and follow it, because it is leading you in the right direction,
113
even if it doesn't make sense right now.
114
The next point, choose your priorities for this season.
115
So what to keep and what to release.
116
By season, you can build it based on month or quarter.
117
I like to do both.
118
And I think lately I've been focusing on month.
119
I just go month to month.
120
Like what is the most important focus for this month?
121
And that's what we do in our Artist of Life workbook.
122
But because you can't do it all at once, you really have to hone down on your one to two main priorities for the month.
123
It's like, if I were to only do this one thing
124
or these two things and be proud of myself at the end of this month, what would it be?
125
And so know what those things are and then let everything else fall off.
126
My home can be messy.
127
I don't have to have a workout routine.
128
I can move this project to the side.
129
I could procrastinate.
130
I could say no to this event.
131
But the most important thing is this one.
132
Obviously, everyone's priorities are going to be different.
133
The beauty of this is how good it feels to release everything else.
134
And when I say release, sometimes you can't completely offload it.
135
Sometimes it's just allowing it to be mediocre, allowing it to be just enough.
136
Earlier I mentioned goodbye to the workout routine.
137
I feel like… Sometimes if you know I need to keep my body moving for a baseline of health and mental,
138
emotional well -being, then just do a mediocre workout.
139
Just go on a walk instead of a hard training session.
140
There are ways to release without completely ignoring it and not doing it at all.
141
When I say release, I mean release your high standard and your high expectation for things.
142
Let's say you're a mom too and you have a party to organize.
143
It's allow that party to be mediocre or delegate some tasks and get some help for certain things.
144
Don't try to do everything yourself.
145
Because I think oftentimes the people that struggle with what we're talking about are the people that are high achievers.
146
They want to do everything and they want to do everything well, and they want to have control over everything.
147
And it's almost like everything that you do is a reflection of your worth.
148
And so you're so tied to it and it has to succeed.
149
It has to do well.
150
It has to be well received by others.
151
And the truth is that's optional.
152
Like who said, who said that everything you do has to be excellent all the time?
153
Because we don't have that bandwidth or that energy, especially the older we get,
154
we have limited energy to work with, limited time we don't want to waste it on things unnecessarily.
155
So focus on your priorities.
156
Know what the most important things you want to hold onto to keep high quality.
157
And then everything else, let it be mediocre.
158
Let it be just good enough.
159
Something that has really inspired me to take more care of myself and slow down, not have to push too hard,
160
is understanding my body and my health and I recently had blood work done through Whoop's Advanced Labs.
161
So thanks to Whoop for sponsoring this video.
162
So Whoop Advanced Labs is their product where you can get your blood work done through Quest
163
and you get your blood work results in the Whoop app.
164
And a clinician reviews it, gives you insights, and you get to see everything in one place.
165
Instead of the PDF that you get from your doctors, everything is in this app.
166
You can click on each marker and it gives you an explanation for what this marker means, why it's important, how it's related to other markers.
167
There's even a box where you can ask questions and it will explain more of your results to you,
168
which I think is so helpful.
169
The goal is really to help you understand what's happening in your body and what you can do about it, which is really empowering.
170
They have a selection of panels that you can choose from.
171
They have heart, performance, metabolic, women's, and men's.
172
I chose the women's because I was interested in learning about my fertility and my hormones.
173
My cycle became a little irregular this year, so I wanted to just get the details of what's happening.
174
The process in the app is super seamless.
175
So you pick your panel.
176
After you check out, you book your blood work.
177
So I booked the next appointment three days later so that I have at least three days to prepare for it.
178
Because I think before blood work, You have to make sure you're not over -exercising and fasting and doing certain things.
179
So I booked my blood work, did the blood work.
180
Wilson came with me because I was nervous.
181
I do not like getting my blood drawn.
182
And I think I got my results about a week after I did my blood work.
183
So it was pretty fast.
184
So all of your results are shown in the app.
185
There's a clinician that reviewed your results and gave you, like, these are the important insights.
186
Here are the recommended next steps that you could take.
187
So for example, one of the recommended steps was I should add more beans and legumes to my diet.
188
And I'm like, yeah, you're right.
189
I don't really think about that.
190
So if you're interested in getting your blood work done along with these insights,
191
you can get 20 % off WHOOP Advanced Labs using my code Eileen20.
192
And you don't need a WHOOP membership to access
193
Advanced Labs either.
194
So you can just get it on its own.
195
Which brings me to my next point, health and wellness first.
196
You have to take care of your foundation before you can do anything else.
197
So as much as you want to offload things like your sleep or exercise or eating well,
198
you really can't because those are the things that fuel your body, give your body the energy it can to do everything else in life.
199
So think about your sleep, your exercise, your nutrition, how much time you allow yourself to rest, and also your relationships.
200
So these are all the things that nourish us and fuel our energy in our life.
201
And it's so important to take care of yourself.
202
Everyone's a little bit different.
203
So what gives you energy and what feels nourishing to you is different.
204
Some people are more introverted and they need more alone time.
205
That means alone time is part of your self -care that's necessary for your health and wellness.
206
Other people might need more connection.
207
They might need to spend more time with their loved ones, more time that's not rigid or on a schedule,
208
but just open time to be present with the people that you love and care about.
209
So really put your health and wellness first.
210
And when I say wellness, it includes everything, like overall holistic wellness, not just physical wellness.
211
I know some of you are saying like, this is just an ideal, perfect world.
212
We have everything taken care of our health and wellness, and we're successful and we're doing this.
213
But how do you realistically prioritize your health and wellness and do everything that you want to do?
214
Again, you have to know what is your baseline of good enough?
215
What is nourishing enough for me so that I'm not completely neglecting myself?
216
Everything is on a spectrum.
217
So when you're listening to these tips, ask yourself, how can I apply this to my life,
218
even if it's just to make my life 1 % better?
219
It's not about perfection.
220
It's about the progress we make, the evolution and the growth that we make as people.
221
Going back to my blood work results, the biggest thing that I discovered from it was basically this marker that I've never heard about,
222
but it's related to checking whether you have immune activity against your thyroid and mine was elevated.
223
So although every other thyroid -related marker in the blood work was healthy, like my thyroid is healthy,
224
it's producing hormones, it's just doing what it needs to do.
225
But there was that one, I think it's an enzyme or something, that was a little bit elevated.
226
And when I looked into it, it scared me because it basically is saying a part of your body is attacking your thyroid for some reason,
227
even though your thyroid is healthy.
228
And if left unchecked or if this evolves into the future, it can become something worse.
229
And that scared me because it's something
230
that doesn't have like an immediate scientific things you can do to make it stop happening.
231
There's no recommended lifestyle change.
232
All that was recommended was keep an eye on it and retest for it in the future.
233
And with that kind of thing, that's a little up in the air.
234
It scares me but at the same time, it gives me a sign that everything happening internal is a reflection of the external.
235
Because I tend to push myself and I tend to have this mindset of like, let me do more, let me sleep less,
236
let me just stay up a little bit to finish this one task.
237
Anyway, it was a sign for me that I need to slow down and take care of my body,
238
and I need to not allow myself to get stressed because stress activates all of these symptoms in our body.
239
And if left unchecked, it becomes actual illness.
240
But before it becomes illness, it's just like everything else is healthy and everything else is working just fine.
241
But it's almost like an invisible, very subtle sign.
242
It's just a big sign to me that I cannot push myself the same way that I used to push myself.
243
I cannot work as intense or sacrifice as much as I used to.
244
I cannot do as much as I used to.
245
I have to live a life where I feel relaxed and at ease while pursuing my goals.
246
And so that's why this concept of, can I be ambitious while giving myself a lot of balance and rest and health?
247
I think I can, but I think it requires taking the slow route.
248
I think it requires not being in a rush and not being impatient,
249
being super patient for the steady, slow route.
250
Because I'm really into astrology, I love learning the meanings of the planets and the signs and the symbols.
251
So if you look into the meaning of Saturn, Saturn is a planet that is about discipline, commitment, hard work.
252
It's not a happy, easy planet.
253
It's a planet that is forged through difficulty, and it's a planet that symbolizes when you move through difficulty,
254
but you become something so strong, so substantial, that nothing can take you down.
255
Nothing will wash you away because you've been built through the fire.
256
You've been forged through the fire.
257
You've been built just block by block.
258
Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, nothing can take you down because you are so strong.
259
Anything that reaches that level of sturdiness and strength was not reached there quickly or easily.
260
In my chart, I have a lot of Saturn, and Saturn is in Capricorn.
261
Saturn is a strong planet in my chart, and I always feel like my dreams are here, but the reality is here.
262
And even though I've come so far, I've come a long way in the past 12 -15 years,
263
but I still feel like I'm at the beginning.
264
I always feel humbled.
265
I always feel like, wow, I really thought the results would be here,
266
but it's really here and I still have to learn and I still have to build and I'm still growing.
267
I have to remind myself I'm on the slow, steady journey.
268
I'm only beginning.
269
Everything that you've seen up until now is just the beginning.
270
I was a seed.
271
And then the past 10 years, I'm a little sprout.
272
You haven't even seen the tree.
273
It's how I feel about myself and my life.
274
And so when I think about it that way, it's about the long -term journey.
275
It's about the marathon.
276
Then the truth is, why do I have to rush?
277
I can't rush it.
278
And if I do try to rush and push myself, I'm only hurting myself and my own health.
279
And I can't do this.
280
I can't do this journey and become this invincible, big, strong tree if my health is not good.
281
Like if I'm not healthy, how can I grow really big and strong?
282
Right?
283
It's as simple as that.
284
So take care of your health.
285
It's okay to slow down.
286
You can still have your big ambitions and big dreams, but redefine your timeline of getting there.
287
Redefine the meaning of the journey getting there.
288
Understand that it's about the little steps of progress.
289
Celebrate the little steps of progress instead of wishing you were already at the end.
290
That's how I feel about my life.
291
Like what's the rush?
292
I've come so far and I'm still so young.
293
There's still so much that I have to grow.
294
And I'm excited and I'm proud of that.
295
But the way I'm going to continue to grow from this chapter to the next is going to be very different.
296
It's going to be slower, more easeful, more calm than I was the first chapter,
297
the previous chapter where I hustled and grind and pushed through so much and burned out so many times.
298
So once you can redefine what the journey to success looks like for you, and you realize it doesn't have to be rushed towards,
299
it doesn't have to be met to your perfect standards and expectations,
300
then you can start to become more flexible and forgiving in your everyday life.
301
Because it's not life or death to meet deadlines.
302
It's not like nothing truly is that important or that urgent it's only because you make it that important or urgent.
303
So it's about learning to step back and really assess what needs your time and energy and what can be let go.
304
And with that mindset, you realize that you actually have a lot of time.
305
You have a lot of time and you should create more time for yourself
306
and more space in between your obligations for flexibility.
307
You need some forgiveness in the structures of your everyday life.
308
It really cannot be so rigid because we are not machines.
309
Some of us have the capacity to operate like a higher efficiency than others.
310
Sure, but everyone needs some flexibility.
311
Everyone needs that cushion, room to breathe, some extra space in case something delays,
312
something goes wrong, something pops up in your life.
313
This happens all the time.
314
We feel like our plate is so full, but let's say something happens.
315
If something happens to Togi and I have to take him to the vet,
316
I would drop everything and take him to the vet and be with him.
317
That just shows whether the things I thought were important before something happened were actually important.
318
So I think that's where we realize, maybe what we feel is important right now, if something truly serious happened,
319
you can easily drop those things and postpone them.
320
And that's how you realize, okay, maybe it wasn't that important.
321
Maybe I didn't have to stress out that much.
322
So I am all for living a flexible life.
323
Sure, I create a plan.
324
I create some sort of structure.
325
I try to be consistent in certain things, but I'm also very forgiving in that if my energy is not there,
326
I'm like, okay, today is just not that day.
327
It's not the day to be productive.
328
Today is not the day to work.
329
I will go out and go to my favorite cafe, or I will spend time walking in nature.
330
I will do the things that fill my cup so that tomorrow, or maybe even later that evening,
331
I will feel better and I will have the energy.
332
So it's just learning to not force it and be very flexible, very forgiving.
333
This year is actually the first year I did not participate in the shooting of the workbook launch.
334
Every year for the past 10 years, I either shot it myself or I brought on photographer videographer
335
and I was a part of the shoot like I was the one modeling the workbooks being in the videos
336
and this is the first year I chose not to do that because Like I said,
337
I already felt like I had so much on my plate.
338
I didn't want to add that because for me,
339
it's very stressful to plan and be in the shoot and to be part of the editing and everything.
340
So this is the first year that I tested outsourcing that part to two studios.
341
And I actually really liked it.
342
I still planned it.
343
I was still involved, but I didn't have to be the model.
344
I didn't have to be there directing or shooting and it felt really freeing.
345
It's just an example of like, wow, I really didn't have to do something that I thought was something I needed to do every single year.
346
So as you change, you can change the way you do things.
347
The things that you thought needed you to be there maybe didn't really require you in the end.
348
Lastly, something really key that I want to share is how the definition of success is changing for me,
349
what the journey looks like is changing for me.
350
I think a lot of us maybe still have
351
that mindset of success looks like a difficult journey and a lot of hard work and a lot of self -sacrifice,
352
a lot of grinding, and a lot of anxiety.
353
It almost seems like if you want to do something big
354
and you want to be the best and you want to succeed, you're going to have to put yourself through the most difficult times,
355
which I think parts of it is true, but I also don't think the whole journey is meant to be a struggle.
356
I don't think you're meant to suffer the entire way.
357
I think there are phases where you have to give your all, but you have to define what your all is.
358
Your all is like all your time,
359
energy, motivation, yes, but not past the point of hurting yourself and hurting your health and really ruining those boundaries.
360
This is one of those beliefs that are really ingrained in people and it's like you only see what you believe.
361
So if you believe you have to struggle to succeed, then you're going to see, oh, look at the people who succeeded.
362
They had to struggle this much.
363
If you believe it the other way, I believe you can still achieve success while living a balanced life, while living a life you love.
364
Yes, there are hardships, but the whole journey has depth.
365
It's not just like you're killing yourself every day, jam -packing your schedule every day, and you can still be there.
366
You can see examples of that too.
367
So I don't think there's only one way to get there.
368
And I think I have more experience through the people that I've met in life.
369
Everyone should be allowed to have their own definition of success.
370
And what I believe as artists of life is we are supposed to create our own definitions of success.
371
So I'm not going to impart anything but my definition at this point
372
because I have learned that my definition of success is that I want to do what I am interested in doing.
373
I will always follow my passions and curiosities and inspirations because I can't help it.
374
I can't not do that.
375
But success is also following that energy that drives you forward while not sacrificing yourself, your health, and your overall well -being.
376
Continuing to nourish yourself, continuing to find joy and beauty and meaning and love and connection in life,
377
in your everyday life, and having space in my days.
378
I don't consider myself successful, no matter how much money I make or how much impact I have, if my days are jam -packed.
379
If I am living a jam -packed schedule every single day, no matter anything else, no matter how successful everything looks on the outside,
380
that is not success to me.
381
Success is openness and freedom.
382
The freedom to be creative, the freedom to choose how I want to spend my time.
383
Success to me is living a balanced life where I can take care of the different areas of my life
384
while working towards a worthy goal.
385
Even if you were making hundreds of million dollars, if you don't have your health, I don't consider that successful.
386
I don't consider that sacrifice worth it for me personally.
387
The other flip side of what I'm sharing is, I love that as I am growing older and meeting more people,
388
people who are older, people who are retired,
389
I'm seeing more and more examples of people living this open and free life where they have built success,
390
but they spend their time pursuing what interests them and they don't really care.
391
Obviously they want that thing to do well, but they're not killing themselves to reach their goal.
392
They just have a loose goal and they're just moving towards it, but in a very happy and balanced way.
393
And yes, it's gonna look slow.
394
but they're not in a rush because they already have enough.
395
So I think that might be the key phrase is you're not in a rush because you already have enough.
396
And I think maybe when you're young and you're trying to build your first little mountain of success, like you're trying to climb your first mountain,
397
maybe that's when you have the most anxiety because you're trying so hard to make something of yourself.
398
You feel like you have something to prove.
399
Sometimes you just need income.
400
You just need money, right?
401
So I think once you get to that first hump, and once you've at least built a life where you have some stable income,
402
something that you've built, as long as you have enough beyond that, why are you in a rush?
403
Do you feel like you're in competition with others?
404
I don't think you have to be in a rush ever.
405
I think sometimes the slow way is often the way that beats out people who are in a rush as well.
406
This is why you might see two different kinds of really successful people.
407
One kind of person made their success by grinding, and they continue to grind, and they continue to burn themselves out, and they continue to push.
408
And are they really happy?
409
I'm not sure.
410
Are they really healthy?
411
Probably not.
412
And then there are people who are successful,
413
but they have this energy of they're just doing side quests at some point.
414
They're doing things but for fun.
415
And it's not like they absolutely need those things to succeed
416
because they have enough and they're just doing more because they want to.
417
And then the other, the first type of person is the kind
418
that no matter how much success or money that they have,
419
they just continue to build with that same energy of desperation and like, oh, this must happen.
420
And they're so controlling.
421
It's because deep down, they feel like whatever they do is never enough.
422
Whatever success they've made is never enough.
423
So this can also come down to your sense of worth, your sense of safety, your sense of security.
424
Do you actually feel like you are enough as you are?
425
Do you feel like you are enough if you're not productive
426
or you are enough even if you don't reach your goals in time?
427
Ultimately, the point is, there are seasons for different phases in your life,
428
and sometimes you might need to have a season where there's a lot on your plate, and then you need a season that's a bit slower.
429
And you have to be aware to know what season you're in.
430
And also, I think it's important to build the awareness of how to get really good at the things
431
that you can control obviously how to become more effective at doing your tasks and not procrastinating, how to be effective at building consistency,
432
having some sort of routine, and making it so that getting things done is easier and not such a big effort every time.
433
The point I'm getting to is I'm not a big life optimizer, but I think it's important to learn some.
434
It's important to learn how to optimize enough, how to - like personal growth.
435
You don't have to read self -help books forever, but it's important to have enough knowledge so that you feel like, okay, I know enough.
436
I'm optimizing enough.
437
But after that, I'm giving myself some space and some balance.
438
Life is not meant to be optimized forever and ever.
439
Life is meant to be lived.
440
And you should simply be living your life however you want to live it.
441
You should not be letting anyone else or anyone else's opinions or society dictate how you live your life.
442
It doesn't matter what other people deem as success.
443
And you really have to build the awareness to understand
444
which parts of your definition of success you picked up from some place or someone outside of you.
445
I think that's the biggest lesson.
446
And then honestly,
447
the last thing is learning self -forgiveness because oftentimes we are the ones that put the most pressure on ourselves.
448
And it's because something in our past taught us that was the way to operate in this world.
449
But wisdom is being able to take a step back
450
and look at the big picture and realize that all of it is optional.
451
All of it was self -imposed.
452
And whichever part of it you thought was absolutely necessary because maybe it's the norm in society,
453
or maybe someone's depending on you or whatever.
454
Sure, take it all into consideration, but also think about the opposite.
455
If this didn't exist, would I be okay?
456
If this didn't happen, would I be okay?
457
at the end of the day, you're probably going to be okay.
458
So it's okay to let yourself have some slack, relax.
459
Because the people who relate to this are often on one side of the extreme, the lesson is to pull back, to soften.
460
But if you are someone who's on the other side, the lesson is to pull back the other way and build some structure in your life.
461
I think truly the path in life that is the most wise is to find your balance of the middle path,
462
wherever that lies.
463
So only you know, because everybody is different.
464
So learn how to define success for yourself, how to create a life that feels both successful and nourishing at the same time,
465
encompassing everything that you want while making sure that you're protecting your wellness because that's the most important thing.
466
All right, sending you so much love.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है | you've been following · has been changing · have been following |

| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | I've noticed · you've worked · has really inspired |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | was just lost · being lost · are shown |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 142 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे you're, I'm, don't। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “th” की ध्वनियाँ: thyroid /ˈθaɪ.ɹɔɪd/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/, bandwidth /ˈbændwɪdθ/, worthy /ˈwɝ.ði/, breathe /bɹiːð/
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: rush /ɹʌʃ/, ambitious /æmˈbɪʃ.əs/, reflection /ɹɪˈflɛkʃən/, obligation /ˌɑ.blɪˈɡeɪ.ʃn̩/, ambition /æmˈbɪʃ.ən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: priority /pɹaɪˈɒɹɪti/, mediocre /ˌmidiˈoʊkəɹ/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, difficulty /ˈdɪfɪkəlti/, motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: wellness /ˈwɛl.nɪs/, everyday /ˈɛvɹiˌdeɪ/, awareness /əˈwɛɹ.nəs/, forgive /fɚˈɡɪv/, workout /ˈwɝk.aʊ̯t/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: lazy /ˈleɪ̯zi(ː)/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, proposal /pɹəˈpoʊzəl/, ease /iz/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: steady /ˈstɪdi/, stable /ˈsteɪ.bəl/, spiritual /ˈspɪɹɪt͡ʃuəl/, spectrum /ˈspɛktɹəm/, stack /stæk/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर priority, sacrifice, lazy जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
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।
