Thank you so much to Sika Design for sponsoring today's video.

And I hope you guys like the video.

So I'm literally staying in the middle of nowhere.

I'm going to insert some clips.

So you guys are probably thinking,

what are you doing in the middle of nowhere in a cabin?

My friend and I wanted to get the hell away from everything for a little bit.

I feel like I've been needing this.

We've been talking about it.

It's this little cabin called Unyoked.

It's like a little tiny home, like a tiny cabin.

And I just thought it would be nice for us to get away we love this kind of shit anyway

and this video is basically a pep talk on how to

be comfortable being alone i thought what better time to film this than

when i'm away at a cabin in the middle of nowhere

except i'm not actually alone alone i am with my friend

but still we both individually live alone

so we're having a really great talk about you know what it means to be alone how to be alone

and how to actually be happy being alone this is a skill

that not many people really master i feel like i am somebody

that genuinely in my everyday life not even just on YouTube in my everyday life is really comfortable being on my own.

And so I wrote some notes down and I'm going to talk about it.

Honestly, even though I've been so on the go,

my mental health has never been better.

Like I have never felt so good.

Maybe this is just the way I am because

when I was young I lived in Dubai and I've moved countries

and I've moved cities and schools

and houses I've never really lived in a house for longer than three years

which if you think about it is a lot of moving

and I'm starting to understand myself a bit better and understand

that I feel like I need change I don't think I'm

running away from things I feel like I can understand why

people in my life see it as like luma you're going

away again like you're running away from things i just think

that i crave change i love being out of my comfort

zone i'm comfortable being alone you know i just crave being away like right now i feel great it feels

so good to be away from all the bullshit i feel detached from things

when i'm away like this so my mental health has been really amazing

and i like filming videos like this when i'm feeling good

because the last thing i want to be on my channel is fake.

I like to be genuine.

I feel like that's who I am and yeah I've just been feeling really good right now.

I've been feeling really independent,

really good, really comfortable on my own.

I'm not coming to you from a place of like you need to get better,

you need to get like me.

I too was once in that space where I wasn't comfortable being alone

so much to the point where I wouldn't even go eat on my own.

Like the thought of eating on my own

or going to the movies on my own was just like why would anybody do that?

I didn't think it was in me to be the type of person

that would ever live alone or be comfortable traveling alone

or just I just didn't think

that was a part of who I would be I understand

100

that fear of being alone and the fear of letting go of somebody

101

or letting go of something because you're afraid of the alternative

102

which is being alone in this world

103

which is having your own back not having anybody there for you

104

when I went through a really public breakup

105

that a lot of you guys have watched and know about

106

or if you haven't there's a video on my channel where I'm going through a breakup

107

and a lot of my videos now are based around finding confidence,

108

being alone, being independent and that is because

109

that experience was the biggest wake-up call of my life because I relied heavily on living with somebody and being with somebody.

110

I was never really alone.

111

I never really needed to be alone but going through that

112

and now living alone and being very picky with who I give my energy to,

113

who I am friends with,

114

everything has taught me so much about life it's been the biggest lesson for me

115

and i'm so thankful that i've gone through this

116

because i cannot imagine my life moving forward always relying on somebody i've traveled

117

so many places i've moved cities things will just continue to get better

118

and better

119

because i now understand the importance of being alone look i'm not perfect okay i just want to say

120

that i feel like the downfall of being alone all the time is

121

that you kind of get in your head

122

and no one is really there to pull you out of it

123

and to say snap out of it you're really overthinking this

124

now i feel like i've started to introduce you know friends into my life

125

and just kind of like doing things a lot more with people

126

but it was really like me on my own for a

127

minute there i spent almost a year just kind of like

128

most of the time being alone like i would go weeks on end just facetiming friends

129

and everything but sitting alone in my house

130

and running errands doing everything on my own does this mean

131

because i am good at being alone

132

that i'm better than everybody else no does this mean

133

that i don't feel emotional or anxious or depressed no not at all

134

but i have a good thing going i think where i

135

understand my emotions i welcome them i know how to go

136

through the waves of life better i feel like living alone has taught me

137

that i sort of stopped chasing things i got to the

138

point in my life where i was like i'm done chasing

139

things i've done chasing people relationships friends i'm done chasing things

140

that might not even really be that good for me but i'm chasing it and i'm grabbing because what's the alternative?

141

Being alone.

142

And I don't want to be alone,

143

so I would rather settle for these relationships that I shouldn't even be entertaining,

144

but I would do it because I didn't want to be alone.

145

I decided to stop all of that.

146

You need to stop worrying.

147

You need to stop chasing.

148

Let's affirm something together.

149

Okay.

150

When I say let's affirm something together,

151

it means I'm going to say something.

152

I want you to feel it.

153

I want you to believe it.

154

You can even say it with me if you want.

155

Things come to me with ease.

156

My life is incredible and it's only going to get better

157

and rough patches teach me things my growth will lead me to greater things

158

let's affirm that together real quick i know a lot of you may be clicking on this video

159

because you want to learn to perhaps detach from a specific person right maybe you got out of a relationship

160

and you want to detach from that or maybe you're just feeling really lost

161

and you want to let go of things

162

and just sort of like live life the way

163

that we're supposed to live it

164

which is in the moment you know riding the wave

165

and you're just gonna have to accept that and be okay with it.

166

Maybe you've come here and you're sitting with me right now listening to this video

167

because things aren't really the way that you would like them to be

168

and you feel lost and you feel stressed

169

and you feel like you're not comfortable with how things are going and that's okay to be like that.

170

You know how I just mentioned that I moved cities?

171

I'm going to open up to you about something.

172

I'm going to insert this picture here.

173

This is my first night sleeping alone moving cities.

174

I was so uncomfortable

175

and I was really like upset with myself as well for a little bit then

176

because I thought I should be comfortable I was anticipating this I knew it would be different I knew

177

that I would have growing pains moving cities even though I was sad even though I was crying

178

and I was having a whole panic attack

179

and I didn't want to be alone and I felt stressed

180

that I had moved cities I still sort of even in

181

the thick of it knew this is gonna pass this too shall pass

182

because everything always gets better and these are just growing pains

183

and I'm gonna be okay I don't think that you can just switch to being okay on your own straight away.

184

It's not just like a thing that happens within a week.

185

There's a transition phase, sort of like growing pains like I talked about.

186

This phase is uncomfortable but everything that is uncomfortable,

187

everything that is on the other side of our comfort zone,

188

on the other side of fear, is worth having.

189

When I think about me,

190

Luma, and everything that sets me apart from other people like my YouTube channel,

191

these are all things that are on the other side of my comfort zone.

192

I wouldn't have anything that I'm proud of today without stepping out of my comfort zone

193

that doesn't mean that it's easy for me to do

194

that doesn't mean

195

that i want to do it i'm in the same exact position as you guys you know there's still

196

so many things i want to do i feel like i'm at the very beginning of my career

197

and of my life and there's just so much

198

that i want to do but it's

199

so much better to put yourself out there and try things

200

and be on your own

201

and do new things travel move out by yourself whatever it may be

202

because you're one step closer to achieving something great in

203

that new experience and if you don't do any of

204

that then it is just your loss it's like the same

205

thing as okay example i don't really like roller coasters

206

but i go on them

207

and i'll explain to you why this is usually you meet people

208

and they're like i love roller coasters then there's those people

209

that don't really like that stuff and i am one of those people

210

but i always go on the roller coasters

211

because i think okay i could just sit here and and be comfortable or I could do it,

212

it might not be that bad.

213

And I have that great experience that I've just shared with my friends and I've stepped out of my comfort zone.

214

I've done something different.

215

And it's just little things like that that I do,

216

I apply towards everything in my life because just like I got on the roller coaster,

217

I also decide to book flights that I'm scared to book or do things that I'm scared to do.

218

Start a YouTube channel, start a brand.

219

You know, it's like a snowball effect.

220

Once you start doing little things like that,

221

you get better at it.

222

You know, once you start doing things on your own

223

that you used to do with one person that you were once dating or living with or whatever or best friends with,

224

you start doing them on your own,

225

you can start doing so many other things on your own.

226

And so many other opportunities and people will come into your life when you put yourself out there like that.

227

Some people force themselves to hang out with people that they don't really like because they're terrified of being alone.

228

Some people force themselves to date people that aren't meant for them

229

because they are afraid to be alone but you don't know

230

that you don't need it until you've lived your life without it

231

and that's why when people are so heartbroken

232

and they come to me for advice and they're like do you believe

233

that i could ever get back with this person how do

234

i get this person back in my head i'm thinking you

235

know there is such thing as people getting back together

236

but baby this is not happening to you it's happening for you

237

because whether you get back together with this person

238

or you find somebody even greater which i'm sure is going to happen right?

239

Because the universe always has a plan for you.

240

You know, getting over your addiction of having that comfort,

241

it's so much easier said than done,

242

but that is going to set you free.

243

And that's what sets you apart.

244

And that is going to be the beginning of the best phase of your life.

245

There's actually this quote that my friend Mesker shot to you, Mesker.

246

There's this quote that he told me earlier,

247

a ship in a harbor is safe,

248

but a ship wasn't built to sit in a harbor.

249

We as humans are built to withstand change.

250

You are built to withstand change.

251

Believe it.

252

If you are uncomfortable with change,

253

then you are going to be uncomfortable for the rest of your life.

254

So this might feel right now like you are going through such a uncomfortable period.

255

You don't know where life is going.

256

That's okay.

257

When I moved to Australia,

258

because I used to live in Dubai and I've moved around a lot,

259

a lot of my schoolmates and everything would be like,

260

you just move around a lot.

261

Like, do you hate that you don't have one specific home?

262

And for a while I did.

263

I think it's beautiful to have a home and like a base

264

but i don't know i sort of accepted it everybody's different

265

and i feel like this is my life guess i just wasn't meant to have

266

that but i kind of love that

267

because i'm not attached to anything you are supposed to change

268

and grow and like i always say you guys have heard this a million times

269

if you watch me a lot the world is an all-you-can-eat buffet there's

270

so much out there for you

271

if you sit here in comfort holding on to things

272

and you don't trust the universe is going to bring you better things you will never expand

273

and that's why you need to let go.

274

Being on your own gives you the silence to learn about yourself.

275

Those people that never take the time to figure themselves out will have other people tell them who they are.

276

You know what I mean?

277

You know yourself.

278

You have a calling in your soul.

279

You know what you're supposed to do in this life.

280

If you sit there and you listen to it

281

and you trust your gut and you trust that you can do this on your own,

282

you can do everything on your own,

283

you will become so strong and you'll actually be able to weed out people

284

that don't serve you really easily

285

because it's like I feel more comfortable being alone than i feel

286

when i'm with you

287

so why would i invite you to be a part of

288

my life there are going to be phases in your life where you're going through change

289

and you are going through difficult times

290

and just transitional phases where things might be just crazy

291

and life just feels like it's taking a really unexpected turn

292

and in those phases what's going to get you through it is it your boyfriend

293

or your girlfriend your family your friends maybe they might help a bit

294

but ultimately it is you you are the one who is going to make the change

295

and who has the key to everything to you living your

296

best life it is you being comfortable being alone you've got

297

this okay i love you guys i hope you liked my

298

little pep talk in this cabin it's getting dark now

299

so i'm gonna go hang out with my friend

300

but yeah i hope you guys like this pep talk

301

and i will be back very soon next week with another video i love you guys

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.
