you are going to take all of the energy you have been putting into other people

and put it back into yourself okay

because you are the most important project you will ever work

on okay you are the main character in your life

and you should act like you are the main character in your life

because if you always make everyone else a priority

and always focus on everyone else

but never focus on you on your life on your well -being you will never be happy

and you will see how much your life will start to change

when you finally stop focusing on everybody else and start focusing on yourself.

So hi guys, welcome back to my channel.

My name is Sladi and I am here to help you become the best version of yourself

and today we're going to talk about how you can finally start focusing on yourself.

So let's start with this video.

So first of all, you need to stop looking at everybody else and start focusing on yourself, okay?

Because when you always focus on everybody else, you won't even have time to focus on yourself.

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,

there won't be any time left for you to focus on yourself because you are busy watching other people.

And the best way to stop constantly focusing on everybody else

and looking what everybody else is doing is to limit your social media consumption.

Limiting your social media consumption, in my opinion, is one of the most important things you can do

when you want to start focusing on yourself

because on social media you are you are exposed to

so many things to

so many information about other people the whole day our brains

are not made for this okay our brains are not made to see so many different people so many different lives

every single day and

when we spend our whole day on social media we don't

even have another choice than to look at other people's lives

and to look at what other people are doing

because this is the only thing we see the whole day okay

so please limit your social media consumption this will help you so much

when you want to start focusing on yourself also what's very

important is live your life for yourself oh my god please stop living a life

that is expected of you please stop doing things

that everyone else is doing just

because they are considered normal they're considered good stop it okay you can never have a happy life

and you will never be happy and fulfilled

if you don't build a life for yourself

that you actually enjoy it won't get you anywhere

when you only do the things that are accepted of you

and that are so normal in society because

when you feel empty inside what does it bring you

that your life looks good on the outside it doesn't get you anywhere

if you for example don't want to get married

but everyone else is getting married around you don't get married okay

if this is not something you want to do then don't do it don't just get married

because everyone else is getting married.

We get so pressured to do the things that everyone else is doing

and that look good on the outside that we forget to ask ourselves, is this actually making me happy?

You literally need to take all of your energy and build a life for yourself.

And I would recommend you to start with taking care of yourself.

Number one, take care of your body.

Your body is your temple, okay?

Your body is carrying you through your life.

So really you need to treat yourself well

and you need to treat your body well start doing things

that are good for your body start working out go to you don't even have to go to the gym

if you don't want to go to the gym try out pilates try out whatever find something

that you also enjoy but i have to say sometimes we can't only do things

that that we enjoy something sometimes we have to do things

that are good for us even if we don't enjoy them

but of course you can find a way to take care of your body

that you enjoy the most also start eating healthy eating healthy is

so important for you and you will feel so much better when you start eating healthy.

And again, you won't always feel like eating healthy.

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

if you don't always feel like it, okay?

Also, start working on your mind, start working on your mindset, start healing your trauma, start reading books,

start going to therapy, start doing things that really help you feel good, not only in your body but also in your mind, okay?

because a healthy body with a with an unhealthy mind won't

get you anywhere okay you really need to treat yourself like the most important project you will ever work on

because you are okay who in your life could be more important than yourself

when you don't have you when you don't have a healthy body

when you don't have a healthy mind what else is left

there for you nothing you are the person you will spend your whole life with

so dedicate your life to yourself to become the best version

of yourself to make yourself happy to make yourself feel good

and to make your life meaningful to you

and you won't have the time and you won't have the energy to do this

if you constantly focus on everybody else and also

if you always put other people first you need to become

a little more selfish okay being selfish is always considered a bad thing

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.

Sometimes you need to put other people first that you love.

That's normal.

I don't think that I even have to explain this.

But most of the time, you're doing yourself a favor if you put yourself first.

If you look at yourself first, if you ask yourself first, what do I want?

What do I need?

When you take care of your needs first and then take care of everybody else.

And the most important thing you need to learn

when you want to put yourself first is to say no.

to say no without feeling guilty i used to be someone

when someone asked me do you want to come do you

want to do this can you do this for me i always jumped even

if i had something to do for myself i didn't consider

doing something for myself as a good enough reason to say no to someone else

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

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
