1
What if this summer wasn't the summer you finally became more productive or lost the weight or completely transformed your life?
2
What if it was simply the summer you fell back in love with yourself?
3
So today I want to share simple mindset shifts
4
that I truly believe will help you reconnect with yourself and maybe fall in love again with your life this summer.
5
Hey guys, welcome back to my channel.
6
My name is Yana and please don't forget to subscribe to this channel and let's begin.
7
Let yourself be bored we've become so used to being busy,
8
the silence almost feels uncomfortable and i also notice myself that i constantly listen to music no matter what i'm doing, i can cook, i can clean,
9
whatever, or i do like a really small task, i always want to listen to music
10
and i guess it's already annoying a little bit
11
because i feel like we are scared to be left alone with our thoughts and we forget to listen to ourselves, that's why journaling is also very helpful,
12
like the moment Once we're alone with our thoughts, we instantly reach for our phones.
13
The most important thoughts arrive in our poses because you were left alone with your thoughts without anything, without phone, without any distractions.
14
For example, when you fell asleep in the middle of the night and like this perfect idea comes to your mind.
15
So the task for you, go for a walk without headphones, go to the gym without headphones, sit in a cafe without scrolling,
16
I know it's hard, ride the subway without looking at your phone.
17
I love doing that when you're starting noticing people around you, what they were, what they're doing, what they're reading, for example.
18
So watch the sceneries instead of your screen.
19
It's also how you can be more creative.
20
Okay, rest without feeling guilty.
21
It's really hard for me to.
22
First thing, everything begins with the rest.
23
I'm not just talking about like eight hours sleep or whatever.
24
Like somewhere along the way, I started believing that even our rest has to be productive.
25
We should read a self-improvement book, take an online course, listen to a podcast, stretch or learn a new skill.
26
Trust doesn't have to make you better.
27
Its job is simply to restore you.
28
You are allowed to do things that have no other purpose than bringing you joy collect seashells at the beach, read a romantic book about fairies,
29
i don't know, it's just important that it makes you smile so okay, paint, knit, whatever makes you happy just don't worry about the result
30
when we are talking about rest that isn't wasted time, please i have another perfect video about small luxury rituals,
31
you can definitely watch this one it also will be helpful to fall in love with yourself
32
when your life is only filled with productivity
33
that lies in constant self-improvement there is very little room for
34
softness to create for yourself those small moments to make this life beautiful
35
so many of our decisions aren't really ours we just want
36
reassurance we want someone to tell us we're doing the right
37
thing maybe you send your video to five friends before posting it maybe you wear something
38
because it's trendy not because you actually love Maybe you abandon an idea because you're afraid people will judge you.
39
Growing up begins when you build your own emotional foundation When you realize I can make mistakes.
40
I won't be liked by everyone.
41
I can make my own decisions And I'm still enough.
42
The less your self-worth depends on other people's opinions.
43
The more peaceful your life becomes This is probably my favorite principle.
44
We spend
45
so much time looking at other people life thinking I wish I had her talent I wish I looked like
46
that I wish I had her personality
47
but maybe your greatest gift isn't supposed to look like someone else's maybe you don't run a marathon
48
but you create the cosiest evenings at home maybe you are not the loudest person in the room
49
but you're the one everyone feels safe talking to don't try to build your identity around something
50
that was never meant to be yours people will fall in love with what is naturally you.
51
Not with someone else's personality that you're trying to wearing like a costume.
52
The most magnetic people aren't the most perfect, I'm pretty sure about it.
53
They are the ones who gave themselves those promises to simply be who they are.
54
Stop analyzing everything.
55
We love our thinking, I know.
56
Someone looked at us differently.
57
A friend replied eight hours later, I am that friend, I'm so sorry.
58
Someone watched her story but didn't like it.
59
And suddenly we created 100 scenarios in our head.
60
But the truth is, not everything is about us.
61
And that's actually very freeing.
62
Not every situation is a lesson.
63
Not every comment meant to hurt you.
64
Sometimes people are simply tired.
65
Sometimes they're dealing with their own lives.
66
No one should support you.
67
They can, but it's not what they should do.
68
The world doesn't revolve around us.
69
And that's okay.
70
If you're possible of imagining the worst possible outcome you're just
71
as capable imagining the best one reality usually ends up somewhere in the middle let's spend less time analyzing life
72
and more time living it consume more good things we rarely
73
think about what we are feeding our brain our mind every
74
day sad music please try listen to adjust music i was talking about this on my previous video, I really recommend to watch it, it's about little luxuries.
75
So sad music, negative news, online drama about celebrities, we're just like it's not even that interesting and they actually don't participate in our lives.
76
Having movies and then we wonder why we wake up feeling exhausted and uninspired.
77
Try a little experiment this summer, replace your sad playlist with song that makes you want to dance and just listen to this one.
78
Watch movies
79
that leave you feeling hopeful follow people who inspires you instead of making you compare yourself read a book
80
that makes you want to live listen to conversation participate in conversations
81
that makes you want to create spend time with people who makes you feeling lighter
82
if you want more joy in your life surround yourself with things
83
that create this joy make your own life beautiful another rename fear i love the idea
84
that fear is sometimes just energy you're started to being afraid of the most ordinary things,
85
while truly frightening things are happening in the world every single day.
86
We are afraid to post a video, afraid to raise our hand in the class, afraid to apply for a job, to weave this and this event, afraid to start a conversation,
87
I hate this, afraid to walk into a room alone, where those things aren't dangerous, they are simply unfamiliar, we don't know what will happen next maybe
88
when you will enter this room there will be so many opportunities
89
and you're just afraid of those opportunities
90
and i am for example i'm person who is nervous all the time
91
and i'm trying to deal with that so everything
92
that i say i use myself next time instead of think i'm scared try saying i'm excited
93
because this matters to me sometimes fear is simply extra energy in our body before you do something brave.
94
And very often everything you've been dreaming about exists on the other side of this fear.
95
Next one is speak kindly to yourself.
96
Imagine talking to your best friend.
97
Would you say the same things to her that you are saying to yourself?
98
Probably not.
99
We are often our own harshest critics.
100
It's not always bad, but it's impossible to fall in love with someone you are constantly criticizing, even if that person is you.
101
Instead of saying I'm terrible at everything, say I'm just learning.
102
Instead of I've ruined everything, I did the best I could with what I knew at the time.
103
Small changes in the way you speak to yourself slowly changes the way you see yourself.
104
And stop postponing your life.
105
We spend so much of life waiting.
106
When I finish university, when I finish school, when I earn more money, when I move, when I lose weight, when the timing is right.
107
But life is happening right now, of course.
108
Don't save your life for a special occasion.
109
Don't save this dress for a special occasion.
110
Don't keep your prettiest dishes only for guests.
111
Don't save your expensive perfume for some day.
112
Perfume is just my favorite ritual, I do it for myself.
113
Go to a cafe alone, go to cinema alone, watch the sunset, take a spontaneous day trip, try something you've never tried before, tell someone you appreciate them.
114
The best memories are almost never perfectly planned, they simply happen.
115
So let this somewhere more to be why not because maybe
116
that one simple question will lead you to the happiest summer of your life
117
and help you fall in love with yourself again

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.
