Hey Psych2Goers, thanks so much for your ongoing support.
2
Let's dive into today's topic.
3
Ever have one of those weeks where nothing's technically wrong but something still feels off?
4
You can't quite put your finger on it but your energy's low,
5
your motivation's gone, and everything feels kind of meh.
6
We like to think it's the big life changes that shape how we feel.
7
A breakup, a new job,
8
a major loss, but more often than not,
9
it's the little things we do every day
10
that quietly build our mental health and they can just as easily drain it too.
11
Here are eight micro habits that might be secretly making you feel worse
12
and what you can do to feel a little more like yourself again.
13
Skipping emotional check-ins.
14
When was the last time you actually asked yourself,
15
how am I really feeling right now?
16
Not just fine or okay but deeper than that.
17
When we ignore our emotions, they don't go away.
18
They just get buried deeper.
19
Unchecked, those feelings can quietly intensify and lead to burnout or anxiety.
20
Even if no one is around to talk to,
21
you can still journal daily to reconnect with yourself.
22
Apps like Dalio, Reflectly, or Notion are great tools to build emotional awareness.
23
And if you can, try a weekly check-in with someone you trust.
24
Being emotionally accountable can strengthen both both your mental health and your relationships.
25
Doomscrolling first thing in the morning.
26
Let's be real, most of us reach for our phones first thing in the morning,
27
even though we know we shouldn't.
28
Reading depressing news
29
or seeing how marvelous everyone's lives look on social media can
30
flood your brain with stress before you've even gotten out of bed.
31
Try swapping the morning scroll for a calm start.
32
Music, a stretch, or even silence.
33
We've even made a video on this and a whole series on doom scrolling is coming this September.
34
So if you struggle with this we've got you covered.
35
Up next is saying I'm fine when you're not.
36
We get it opening up can feel awkward but constantly pretending you're okay that takes a toll
37
Studies have shown that repressing emotions raises your heart rate and can lead to depressive symptoms later on
38
Suppressing how you feel might help you avoid awkwardness,
39
but it can increase stress and isolation
40
You don't have to tell everyone everything but being real even just with yourself is a form of healing Mindless eating.
41
Similar to doom scrolling, mindless eating pulls you out of the present.
42
And if we don't stop to enjoy the food we eat,
43
what else in life are we rushing through?
44
There's a Japanese term called Ichigo Ichi,
45
which means one time, one meeting.
46
It reminds us to savor the present moment,
47
including each bite we take.
48
Studies show that enjoying food mindfully is actually linked to better mental health.
49
Saying yes when you really want to say no. People-pleasing might seem polite,
50
but it often costs your peace of mind.
51
You end up drained, guilty,
52
and disconnected from your real needs.
53
Boundaries aren't just walls, they're britches to a more honest and balanced version of you.
54
So don't be afraid to set boundaries with others.
55
It's not selfish.
56
It's an act of emotional self-respect,
57
letting small tasks pile up.
58
Those small tasks you keep putting off?
59
Your brain keeps track of them, even when you don't.
60
Unfinished tasks sit in the back of your mind and become mental clutter,
61
subconsciously causing you stress.
62
This is called the Zakarnik effect,
63
and it quietly drains your focus.
64
Try the two-minute rule.
65
If it takes less than two minutes, do it now.
66
Tiny wins equal lighter mind.
67
Comparing yourself online.
68
Even if we know not to believe everything we see on social media,
69
and that it's all curated,
70
it still gets to us.
71
And comparison can hit hard.
72
Spending too much time online can trick you into thinking everyone else is thriving while you're falling behind.
73
That their lives are more exciting,
74
more successful, more put together than yours.
75
It's a fast track to envy, insecurity, and low self-worth.
76
So a few tips.
77
Take breaks to detox from social media from time to time.
78
And curate your feed.
79
Follow people who inspire you, not pressure you.
80
Make your online world a place that feels safe, uplifting, and real.
81
And finally, forcing yourself to always be positive.
82
Gratitude is powerful, but when it's forced, it becomes toxic.
83
You're allowed to be sad,
84
to be frustrated, to not be okay.
85
You can be grateful and hurting.
86
These things can coexist and often do.
87
Real healing doesn't come from pretending.
88
It comes from being honest with yourself.
89
So if any of these habits hit close to home, you're not alone.
90
There are so many other habits that can quietly wear us down without us even noticing.
91
This list could go on and on and on.
92
But the point isn't to overwhelm you,
93
it's to help you start paying attention.
94
Even something like excessive masturbation,
95
while totally normal in moderation,
96
can lead to feeling drained or emotionally flat over time,
97
especially if it's used as a way to avoid emotions or cope with stress.
98
And then there's exercising, not processing your feelings, skipping sleep.
99
It all adds up.
100
And when those little things pile on,
101
day after day, it can feel like your mental health is slipping away without a clear reason.
102
But the good news is,
103
if small habits can push us down,
104
then small habits can also help lift us back up.
105
Therapy can help untangle those patterns and give you tools to move forward.
106
We've partnered with BetterHelp, an online platform where you can match with licensed therapists.
107
Using our link helps support the channel and supports your own growth too.
108

115
we've made a full video on it.
116

117

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, imparerai a riconoscere e affrontare alcune abitudini quotidiane che possono influenzare il tuo benessere mentale. Attraverso l'analisi di micro abitudini, ti verranno forniti strumenti utili per migliorare la tua consapevolezza emotiva e la tua salute mentale. Scopriremo anche come applicare questi concetti mentre pratichi l' inglese con le tecniche di shadowing, per migliorare la tua pronuncia e la tua fluidità.

Vocabolario e frasi chiave

  • Emotional check-in: controllo emotivo
  • Doomscrolling: scorrere continuamente contenuti negativi

Consigli per la pratica

Per utilizzare al meglio la tecnica di shadowing con il video "Micro habits That Make You Feel 'Off'", segui questi suggerimenti. Prima di tutto, ascolta attentamente il ritmo e il tono del relatore. La velocità del discorso è moderata, quindi prova a ripetere assiduamente le frasi mentre le ascolti. Inizialmente, potrebbe sembrare difficile, ma non preoccuparti; imparare l'inglese con youtube ti consente di ripetere le frasi più volte. Concentrati sulle intonazioni e sull'enfasi delle parole, poiché questo ti aiuterà a migliorare la pronuncia inglese nel contesto reale. Incorpora anche una riflessione emotiva mentre parli. Chiediti: “Come mi sento davvero riguardo a ciò che sto dicendo?” Mettere in pratica l’ emotional check-in può davvero fare la differenza. Usa frasi come “sto bene” o “non sto così bene” per identificare le tue emozioni. Questo esercizio non solo migliora la tua fluidità in inglese, ma aiuta anche a sviluppare una maggiore consapevolezza personale. Infine, dedica del tempo a discutere i temi trattati nel video con un partner di conversazione o in un gruppo di pratica. Questo non solo rende lo studio più coinvolgente, ma crea anche un ambiente sicuro per la condivisione delle esperienze emotive, che può rivelarsi molto terapeutico. Usa il shadow speak per approfondire i temi legati alle emozioni ed esplora come le micro abitudini impattano sulla tua vita.

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.
