Knowing that our perception is an illusion, our sense of self is illusion, All of it is an illusion in the sense that it's a construct of our brain.
2
Our brain is creating this for us.
3
And given that, That's an opportunity because we can have some control over how our brain perceives the world.
4
And that's where the power lies.
5
Thank you.
6
you Our perceptions are basically formed from a combination of what we expect,
7
so that's coming internally from our past experiences, and then what's coming into our brain externally.
8
And when those two things meet, it creates this perception which is what we actually experience.
9
Your inner voice is your ability to silently use language to reflect on your life provides us with a survival advantage.
10
It's an incredible problem -solving device.
11
I realize that we have this ability to change our trajectory and change our thoughts.
12
and we can explore band the box that we're in.
13
We can expand our perception of who we are in the world.
14
Our minds are shaped by our prior experience.
15
So as these neurons start forming connections, and as you go through life and have experiences, it's a pruning process.
16
So it's actually strengthening the important connections
17
and allowing the other unimportant connections to kind of wither away and then you start to develop a more defined structure.
18
There's this constant interplay between things that our brain processes unconsciously that informs our behavior.
19
So what you're conscious of at any moment can affect what you perceive.
20
and what you remember as well so
21
if you're in a negative headspace you're gonna start receiving more negative things in your environment If you're in a positive headspace, you're going to perceive more positive things,
22
even though the environment may be exactly the same.
23
So being mindful is your brain controlling what you're attending to.
24
and also controlling what you're taking in.
25
and how you're reacting to the world.
26
the more you can understand, and also knowing that you live within a certain kind of perceptual box
27
can create potentially the impetus for you to develop
28
or try to work on developing more empathy for others who are living inside their own perception boxes.
29
We're all a work in progress until our very last breath and there's always room for change Nothing is set in stone.
30
- Oh.
31
Many of us turn our attention inward to come up with some narrative
32
that explains our experiences in ways that give shape to our understanding of who we are.
33
our identity.
34
Our inner voice is part of what we call our verbal working memory system.
35
Our inner voice also lets us simulate and plan control ourselves.
36
And then finally, the inner voice helps us storify our lives.
37
Chatter refers to the dark side of the inner voice.
38
When we turn our attention inward to make sense of our problems, We don't end up finding solutions.
39
We end up ruminating, worrying, catastrophizing.
40
we get stuck in a negative cycle that takes this remarkable tool that we possess, this inner voice, and it turns it into a curse rather than a blessing.
41
The good news is there is a science -based toolkit that you can use to regain control of your inner voice.
42
Rituals are one way to do that by engaging in the same sequence of behaviors every time the same way.
43
That's giving you a sense of order and control that can feel really good when you're mired in chatter.
44
The real challenge is to figure out What are the unique combinations of tools that work best for you
45
given the unique kinds of chatter that you're experiencing.
46
So the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves have been shaped by our environment, our upbringing, We have something called observational knowledge,
47
and that means that we learn about how the world is by observing those around us in our formative years.
48
But observational knowledge has A flip side.
49
Sometimes we observe our peers or parents being highly critical of themselves, and so we learn to do that as well.
50
or perhaps your parents will exacerbate a particular narrative.
51
And then that boxes us into this kind of fixed mindset in our adult life, where we don't want to step outside the realms of what's been defined for us.
52
So as humans, we do have a negativity bias
53
So we perceive negative information more greatly than positive
54
and the negativity bias can really highlight those things that we say to ourselves, those negative stories.
55
If left unchecked, It will basically form a template to how you see the world.
56
So you will carry that into every aspect of your life.
57
and your brain will perceive that as normal.
58
Whilst our thoughts are extremely powerful, we can use that to our advantage to really pull out the positive narratives that we want for ourselves.
59
by pulling out the small winds It will start to shine a light on a different outcome, not the one that you have usually perpetuated,
60
and it's not until you bring conscious attention to it
61
that you can start to make a change because the brain is just doing what it knows best.
62
It's going to optimize energy for other things, and just repeat what has been ingrained.
63
So when we break those automatic patterns, we take control of that steering wheel and we start to say, "Hey, This is how things have usually been,
64
this is the box that I put myself in, that parents put me in, but I want to change that.
65
And we start to essentially rewire and reshape our perception box and how we see ourselves and how we think.
66
other people interpret us as well.
67

Are You Actually Living - or Just Existing? | Carl Jung

Lo scenario: L'identità in costante evoluzione e la voce interiore
Immagina di riflettere su chi sei: le storie che ti racconti, le paure che ti assalgono e i sogni che ti spingono. Il video parla di come la nostra identità non è fissa, ma un "work in progress" plasmato dalla percezione, dalla voce interiore e dalle storie che ci costruiamo. Spiega come questa voce possa essere un dono o una maledizione: quando funziona bene, ci aiuta a pianificare, a controllarci e a dare senso alla vita; quando si trasforma in "chatter" (rumore mentale), ci blocca nel ruminare e nel pessimismo. Ecco il caso: come trasformare una voce negativa in un alleato? E come usare la scienza per cambiare i nostri modi di pensare?
Espressioni utili e collocazioni da memorizzare
- Work in progress: "Ogni persona è un work in progress fino all'ultimo respiro" (tutti siamo in continuo cambiamento).
- Chatter: "Il chatter è il lato oscuro della voce interiore" (rumore mentale negativo).
- Negativity bias: "La negativity bias ci fa percepire le informazioni negative più intensamente" (tendenza a focalizzarsi sul negativo).
- Fixed mindset: "Un fixed mindset ci blocca fuori dai nostri limiti" (mentalità rigida che non crede nel cambiamento).
- Small wins: "I small wins aiutano a creare nuove narrazioni positive" (piccoli successi che cambiano la percezione).
La sfida: Shadowing per controllare la voce interiore
Ora, metti in pratica il shadow speech con un estratto del video! Segui questi passaggi: 1. Trova un frammento dove si parla di "rituali" o di "cambiamento" (es. "Rituali sono un modo per..."). 2. Ascolta il frammento una volta, notando l'intonazione e il ritmo. 3. Ripeti immediatamente dopo, imitando la pronuncia e l'emozione. 4. Ripeti 3-5 volte finché non senti che il flusso è naturale. Questo esercizio non solo migliora la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese, ma anche la consapevolezza della tua voce interiore. Per approfondire, usa un shadowing site o un app che ti permetta di registrare e confrontare la tua voce con l'originale. Ricorda: il shadow speak non è solo imitare, ma capire il senso e l'emozione dietro le parole. Così, trasformi la lingua in uno strumento per capirti meglio e cambiare!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have been shaped · what's been defined · have usually perpetuated |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are shaped · is set · have been shaped |
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.
