I would love to have you speak to the person who's

listening right now who feels like they're just reacting to life

because 70 % of the millions of people that listen to this show every single week

responded to a survey that we just put out saying, I feel like I'm reacting.

I'm not really living my life.

I'm not creating anything.

Dr. Vietan, based on your research, could you speak to the person who's like, I'm just reacting.

Could you tell them what is possible?

What can they learn to do that will help them switch out of that mode of like, I'm just trying to survive here.

I didn't even realize creating something different was possible.

Yeah.

I mean, first of all, it's not your fault.

Society and culture right now has been set up in a way that is encouraging us to be reactive.

I call it the great flattening and what I mean by that is twofold.

One is the actual flattening of screens.

I can't tell you how much of my day I spend in front of a zoom screen

or in front of a tv screen or in front of my phone screen.

So a lot of people are waking up in the morning

and all the way until the evening all they're doing is reacting to what comes at them.

So how does imagination help with this?

Well I like to think of life as sort of like a tapestry.

So So let's say you have threads that are weaving into the tapestry, and these are the actual constraints of your life, all of the stuff that you have no control over,

as you know, with the let them theory, you know, you can't do anything about them.

It's your genetics.

It's what networks you have, what opportunities you have, etc. But then you've got the part of life that you create and you weave in,

and a lot of that is imagined.

I mean, first of all, some of the threads that come into your life that you perceive as reality, you're actually imagining.

You think they're reality.

Give me an example.

What do you mean?

Well, so how about the only thing that I can do to be successful is work at a 40, 50, 60 hour a week job.

That's what it is.

That's the deal.

That's the only way that anybody's ever successful.

That's not true.

No, there are tons of different people who do work in many, many, many different ways so some of the limits

that we think are hard and fast are either individually imagined

or collectively imagined and you can decide i want to imagine something different

but even more important there are real constraints there is reality

but throughout our day when we encounter our reality i like to call it swiss cheese reality

and so we see some things we observe them but there are a lot of gaps.

So let's say I run into a new person at my job

and she walks up and she's really well -dressed

and extremely well put together and I look at her

and immediately I'm observing

but then I'm also imagining oh this is somebody who really has their shit together

or you know they know what they're doing

or they come from a lot of privilege

or they probably think they're better than me or you know I mean I'm already off to the races.

I'm not even noticing that imagination.

I'm seeing that as reality, but I'm weaving that in to what reality really is.

What could I do instead?

I could decide that the threads of imagination that I weave into my reality, I want them to be something different.

I want to imagine that everybody's pretty much doing their best, that most people are excited about helping if they are asked for help.

As I was sitting here thinking about the example about meeting a new colleague that's dressed to the nines,

you don't stop to consider that your opinion and immediate impression of this person is something you've imagined.

You've imagined it.

And it's a helpful example because when you hear the word imagination,

I tend to think about Disney or Avatar or these worlds that don't exist,

but you're challenging me and the person who's here listening to consider

that a lot of the opinions that you have about yourself

or the way that the world works or who other people are

or are not are examples of things you've imagined and you just live as though it's fact.

Yeah, we are inherently storytellers, and we only have a little bit of the available information at any given point in time.

And so we can say to ourselves, I want to retrain the way I tell a story about my life.

I don't want this to be my story anymore.

Dr. Vieton, what are the specific mindset tools

that you're going to teach us today

that can help you stop reacting to your life and start creating the life that you want.

Today I'm going to talk about visualization, manifestation, and imagination.

How you can visualize, manifest, you know,

do all of these practices to help you be more skillful about your imagination once you've recognized the science

and you know you have it and it's influential.

What is visualization?

so for most people visualization is one of the easiest ways to access their imagination there's

so much brain real estate that's dedicated to vision

that we can actually use that even when our eyes are closed

and i want to expand the definition of

that to say it's not always pictures in your mind sometimes it's a feeling

that you want to imagine or it's a movement or an environment.

So when we talk about visualization, let's think about it in terms of where do I want to be?

How does it feel?

Not only what does it look like, because there's a lot of people out there who their visualization is kind of blocky, right?

I always thought you had to picture it in your mind.

No, and that's so, it's hard for people because when I used to teach workshops in the early days, I would make everybody visualize and we'd always have these four or five people who were like, I didn't see anything.

And I had to learn not everyone visualizes.

Some people are much better at storytelling.

So let's say that your story of your life is

that you're a pinball in a pinball machine and you get shot out of that little tunnel every morning and then bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, ching, ching, ching, ching.

And you don't get to decide.

You just get blasted around all the time.

You might then say, I don't want my future to be the pinball machine future.

I want my future to be the hiking through the Alps woman.

I engage with everyone I encounter along the way.

I have uphill battles, but when I do that, I breathe deeply and I walk methodically.

And then when I see a beautiful view or a moment of joy, a small little flower coming up from a rock,

I sit and spend time with that that the walker becomes your new story.

I think it's so helpful to know

that you could use the power of visualization by writing a story versus closing your eyes

100

and trying to see the movie scene of it.

101

I'll give another example because this is something

102

that I've been working on for a long time

103

which is I think for a very long time like a

104

lot of people I had a story it's all up to me.

105

It's all up to me.

106

All up to me.

107

Like it always comes back to me.

108

It's up to me.

109

Like there's, you know, if I don't do it, nobody's doing it.

110

Oh, you know, they didn't do it.

111

So I got to do it.

112

And it's not empowering.

113

And it just plays on repeat.

114

And I have been, I didn't realize it was visualization.

115

I have been working on a different story, which is I don't have to do it alone.

116

Right.

117

There's a lot of help.

118

All I have to do is ask for help.

119

There's a lot of people that want to help.

120

This is, it is not all up to me.

121

Yeah.

122

And it's not even skillful to have it be all up to you.

123

Like I was working with a client the other day where we were using the metaphor of an obstacle course.

124

And you know those military obstacle courses where you're like crawling underneath the ropes

125

and then you got to get over this gigantic wall.

126

How do they get over that gigantic wall?

127

Somebody else pushes you up.

128

That's right.

129

Yeah.

130

So you could say I got to do it all myself, but you could also be stuck at that wall for many many years

131

because you simply will not ask someone to give you the boost

132

i've never thought about visualization as writing a different story i've

133

always thought i have to close my eyes crisscross applesauce with my feet

134

and try to see the movie and it's very frustrating

135

if you're in a position in your life where you want things to change

136

but you can't actually see the movie of the change.

137

But I do think it's accessible and easy if you start with, okay, what about my current story do I hate and I'm tired of?

138

And if it were just the opposite of that, what would that look like?

139

If I weren't a pinball, if I didn't have to do it all alone, what's the opposite story?

140

And then write that out.

141

And here's a super fun exercise because part of imagination is also what we call thought experiments.

142

And that does kind of use the thinking mind.

143

So let's say that you are stuck in a situation that is really, really difficult, whether it's a job or a family matter, whatever it is.

144

Write down 10 ways that you could make it worse.

145

You could make it worse?

146

Write down 10 ways that you could make the situation worse,

147

and the exercise is after you write down the 10 ways flip it what are the things

148

that you what's the opposite of the thing you wrote

149

that would make it worse and it is fascinating

150

because you come up with answers that you wouldn't come up with by just saying what should I do

151

you force yourself to be like okay let me make this

152

as bad as it could possibly be I could light the

153

house on fire that's pretty bad I could spend all my money gambling well that would make this a lot worse.

154

And then you write the polar opposite and when you look at that list of opposites you have a roadmap.

155

Wow and that's a form of visualization.

156

Yeah that's a poor form of imagination.

157

Yeah.

158

So is imagination the big category and visualization is a technique?

159

That's right.

160

That's okay.

FOR YOU

この動画が英語学習に最適な理由

日常的な会話に近い自然な流れが特徴のこの動画は、shadowspeak（シャドースピーク）の練習にぴったりです。話者同士のやり取りがリアルで、「生きている感じがない」「反応しかしていない」という共感的なテーマも、学習者が感情を込めて話すきっかけになります。動画で英語学習するメリットが存分に発揮されるクリップですね。

自然な表現を分解してみよう

この会話には、ネイティブがよく使う表現がいくつかあります。それぞれのポイントを見てみましょう。

「I feel like I'm reacting.」：「反応しているだけだ」というニュアンス。「feel like」は「～のような気がする」という柔らかい表現で、日常会話で頻繁に使われます。
「It's not your fault.」：「あなたのせいじゃない」という慰めの表現。シンプルですが、発音のリズムが重要で、「not your」の部分を自然につなげるとよりネイティブらしく聞こえます。
「swiss cheese reality」：「スイスチーズのような現実」という比喩。隙間がたくさんあることを表し、イメージがわかりやすく、会話に活気を与えます。

実践的な練習ルーティン

shadow speech（シャドースピーチ）の練習で、発音と流れをマスターしましょう。

動画を10秒ずつ再生し、すぐにその後に続けて話します。声のトーンやリズムを真似ることがポイントです。
録音機能を使って自分の声を録り、元の動画と比較します。「I'm not really living my life.」のような長い文は、どこで息を吸うかが重要です。
1日10分、3日続けると英語の発音を良くする効果が実感できます。慣れてきたら、20秒ずつに延長してみましょう。

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。
