1
you are going to take all of the energy you have been putting into other people
2
and put it back into yourself okay
3
because you are the most important project you will ever work
4
on okay you are the main character in your life
5
and you should act like you are the main character in your life
6
because if you always make everyone else a priority
7
and always focus on everyone else
8
but never focus on you on your life on your well -being you will never be happy
9
and you will see how much your life will start to change
10
when you finally stop focusing on everybody else and start focusing on yourself.
11
So hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
12
My name is Sladi and I am here to help you become the best version of yourself
13
and today we're going to talk about how you can finally start focusing on yourself.
14
So let's start with this video.
15
So first of all, you need to stop looking at everybody else and start focusing on yourself, okay?
16
Because when you always focus on everybody else, you won't even have time to focus on yourself.
17
When you're always watching others, what they are doing, how they look, how far they have come, what kind of vacations they go on, what kind of relationships they have,
18
there won't be any time left for you to focus on yourself because you are busy watching other people.
19
And the best way to stop constantly focusing on everybody else
20
and looking what everybody else is doing is to limit your social media consumption.
21
Limiting your social media consumption, in my opinion, is one of the most important things you can do
22
when you want to start focusing on yourself
23
because on social media you are you are exposed to
24
so many things to
25
so many information about other people the whole day our brains
26
are not made for this okay our brains are not made to see so many different people so many different lives
27
every single day and
28
when we spend our whole day on social media we don't
29
even have another choice than to look at other people's lives
30
and to look at what other people are doing
31
because this is the only thing we see the whole day okay
32
so please limit your social media consumption this will help you so much
33
when you want to start focusing on yourself also what's very
34
important is live your life for yourself oh my god please stop living a life
35
that is expected of you please stop doing things
36
that everyone else is doing just
37
because they are considered normal they're considered good stop it okay you can never have a happy life
38
and you will never be happy and fulfilled
39
if you don't build a life for yourself
40
that you actually enjoy it won't get you anywhere
41
when you only do the things that are accepted of you
42
and that are so normal in society because
43
when you feel empty inside what does it bring you
44
that your life looks good on the outside it doesn't get you anywhere
45
if you for example don't want to get married
46
but everyone else is getting married around you don't get married okay
47
if this is not something you want to do then don't do it don't just get married
48
because everyone else is getting married.
49
We get so pressured to do the things that everyone else is doing
50
and that look good on the outside that we forget to ask ourselves, is this actually making me happy?
51
You literally need to take all of your energy and build a life for yourself.
52
And I would recommend you to start with taking care of yourself.
53
Number one, take care of your body.
54
Your body is your temple, okay?
55
Your body is carrying you through your life.
56
So really you need to treat yourself well
57
and you need to treat your body well start doing things
58
that are good for your body start working out go to you don't even have to go to the gym
59
if you don't want to go to the gym try out pilates try out whatever find something
60
that you also enjoy but i have to say sometimes we can't only do things
61
that that we enjoy something sometimes we have to do things
62
that are good for us even if we don't enjoy them
63
but of course you can find a way to take care of your body
64
that you enjoy the most also start eating healthy eating healthy is
65
so important for you and you will feel so much better when you start eating healthy.
66
And again, you won't always feel like eating healthy.
67
And I don't say that you have to eat healthy 100 % of the time, but eating healthy is self -care and you deserve to take care of yourself even
68
if you don't always feel like it, okay?
69
Also, start working on your mind, start working on your mindset, start healing your trauma, start reading books,
70
start going to therapy, start doing things that really help you feel good, not only in your body but also in your mind, okay?
71
because a healthy body with a with an unhealthy mind won't
72
get you anywhere okay you really need to treat yourself like the most important project you will ever work on
73
because you are okay who in your life could be more important than yourself
74
when you don't have you when you don't have a healthy body
75
when you don't have a healthy mind what else is left
76
there for you nothing you are the person you will spend your whole life with
77
so dedicate your life to yourself to become the best version
78
of yourself to make yourself happy to make yourself feel good
79
and to make your life meaningful to you
80
and you won't have the time and you won't have the energy to do this
81
if you constantly focus on everybody else and also
82
if you always put other people first you need to become
83
a little more selfish okay being selfish is always considered a bad thing
84
but i don't understand this because how can it be a bad thing when you put yourself first Of course, you can't be selfish 100 % of the time in your life.
85
Sometimes you need to put other people first that you love.
86
That's normal.
87
I don't think that I even have to explain this.
88
But most of the time, you're doing yourself a favor if you put yourself first.
89
If you look at yourself first, if you ask yourself first, what do I want?
90
What do I need?
91
When you take care of your needs first and then take care of everybody else.
92
And the most important thing you need to learn
93
when you want to put yourself first is to say no.
94
to say no without feeling guilty i used to be someone
95
when someone asked me do you want to come do you
96
want to do this can you do this for me i always jumped even
97
if i had something to do for myself i didn't consider
98
doing something for myself as a good enough reason to say no to someone else
99
and because i always put everyone else first i was left there with nothing i was left there feeling empty
100
because i never cared about myself but now
101
when someone asked me to do something to go somewhere
102
or whatever I listen to myself and
103
if I don't want to go I'm not going to go
104
and I'm not going to feel guilty I don't need a
105
huge reason like I don't know my mother fell down the stairs
106
or whatever if I don't want to go
107
because I feel like staying at home today I am staying at home today
108
and I'm not going to feel guilty about that
109
and let me tell you only when I started to become more selfish
110
and to care about myself first
111
because before I care about anyone else I literally my life started changing
112
and I became more happy because I did the things
113
that are good for me
114
and second of all surprisingly I was also more able to take care of the people I love
115
because my cup was already filled by myself what's also very
116
important is you need to learn to do things by yourself
117
and to enjoy your own company this is so
118
so important okay listen to me I want to grab you
119
and to tell you how important it is
120
because no matter what happens in your life okay you will always have yourself
121
and you spend time with yourself 24 7
122
so really think about how sad life is
123
when you always need someone else to do things with so
124
that you feel comfortable because you don't feel comfortable on your own
125
and i know this is hard in my opinion this is especially hard for women
126
because women are raised to always look for others to care for others men
127
or boys are raised to focus on themselves to focus on what they like or to focus on their hobbies, to focus on their career.
128
But girls are raised to focus on people around them, to care about people around them, to start a family, to get married, to have kids one day.
129
This is what women are conditioned to do.
130
Women are conditioned to build a life that always includes other people
131
and that always evolves around other people but not about themselves.
132
So I think especially for women it's very hard to learn to do things for themselves, to do things by themselves and to really
133
and genuinely enjoy their own company
134
but it's one of the most important things you can do
135
because if you have yourself and if you can spend time with yourself
136
and if you can do things alone you are unstoppable
137
because then you are full on your own
138
and you don't need anyone else and it's not only
139
that you need to enjoy your own company it's very important
140
that you learn to do things alone because
141
if you can't do things alone you won't ever reach your goals okay
142
because for example you want to go to the gym
143
and you always need a friend to go to the gym with then your success depends on your friend
144
and not on you because if your friend can't go then you also won't go
145
so if you can't do things alone your success always depends on other people
146
but the only person you should depend on is yourself
147
and this actually brings me to the next point
148
and the next point is you need to take responsibility for your own life
149
because no one will come and save you okay
150
if you are unhappy with something you are the only person
151
that can change it because your life is your responsibility
152
and your responsibility only and i know
153
that life is unfair okay life is unfair i know that
154
and maybe other people are more privileged than you
155
but you need to understand that you are also more privileged than other people
156
so it doesn't get you anywhere to sit there
157
and to be sad about what happened in your past
158
and to blame other people who treated you wrong
159
and who made you become the person you are today of
160
course it's not always your fault what happened to you
161
but it's your responsibility for what you do with it from
162
now on you can't control what other people do to you
163
but you can't control what you do with it so
164
if you always blame others like your parents your ex -boyfriend
165
your girlfriends who did you wrong you are literally giving them all of the power over your life
166
and over yourself okay because when you just sit there
167
and say they did me wrong they did me wrong they did me wrong and
168
because of them i am the person i am today you
169
don't change anything okay you don't change anything with blaming them
170
you can spend your whole life actually blaming other people but
171
when you don't take responsibility nothing will change
172
and those people who did you wrong will have all the power over your life
173
And I don't want to say that you can never be sad.
174
I don't want to say that unfair things don't happen to you.
175
I'm very sure unfair things happen to you.
176
Unfair things have also happened to me.
177
My whole childhood was unfair.
178
I literally used to always ask myself, how can a person be so unlucky, okay?
179
I always felt like I'm so unlucky and I was.
180
I didn't grow up privileged, okay?
181
I had so many problems I had to resolve myself
182
and many people around me were more privileged than me
183
but at one point i understood
184
that i am also more privileged than many other people it
185
depends on who you compare yourself with no matter what happened
186
to me no matter how unfair my life was the only person who could change it
187
and who could make me happy is myself
188
so instead of always asking why me start asking yourself what
189
can i do now no matter what happened to me what can i do now.
190
This is the mindset what you need when you really want to focus on yourself and to get far in life.
191
No one on this planet is successful and is genuinely happy because they blame other people.
192
They are happy because they take responsibility over their own life no matter what happens.
193
And the last thing I want to say in this video what's very important
194
when you want to really start to focus on yourself is you need to stop wasting your energy.
195
You know sometimes people misunderstand us and we
196
so badly want to correct them and want to prove
197
that we are good people and that we didn't mean it that way and that we want to make them like us.
198
But you need to realize that some things are simply not worth your time and not worth your energy.
199
The energy you would put into other people to prove them wrong
200
and to prove that you are a good person or whatever, you could take all of that energy and just pour it into yourself
201
and do things that are actually good for you and do things
202
that actually get you somewhere
203
because at the end of the day it won't get you
204
anywhere people are people people think what they want to think people do what they want to do
205
and if they don't want to like you they won't like you
206
if they want to misunderstand you they will misunderstand you the only thing
207
that will really be beneficial to you and
208
that will get you somewhere is when you take all of your energy is
209
when you take all of your time and put it back into yourself
210
so yeah guys that's it for today's video i really hope it was helpful
211
and i would say i'll see you in my next one

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
