1
Do you ever notice how when life punches you in the gut, your mind starts attacking you too?
2
And suddenly you're not just stressed, but you're spiraling and now you're finding flaws in everything in your life.
3
Your job, and your body, and your future, and your own worth.
4
Here's the truth that most people never actually learn: happiness is not what happens after the pain is gone.
5
It's what you practice during it.
6
When you only focus on what's going wrong, your brain becomes a magnet for misery.
7
You find more things to be miserable about.
8
And that's a really, really slippery slope.
9
So what if you could actually rewire your brain to find the good in everything, even if your entire life is on fire?
10
And if you can train yourself to search for even a sliver of good,
11
your entire mindset and even your brain chemistry and your brain wiring will start to shift.
12
And so let's dive into it.
13
Let's just call it like it is, right?
14
Most people, very good people in this world, completely cave when things go sideways in their lives.
15
If bills start to stack up, they shut down.
16
If their relationship If they get bad news, they start finding everything that's wrong in their life.
17
Every single little teeny tiny thing.
18
It's kind of like as soon as like one thing just goes wrong, the brain is like, see, I told you your entire life was trash.
19
It's like just this, you know, it's like this little teeny tiny house of cards
20
and you just give it one little flick and the entire thing falls apart.
21
Does that sound familiar?
22
Well, you have to understand that if you don't actually start to work on your mindset around
23
It's only going to get worse and worse, and you're going to start to develop patterns to find the bad in everything.
24
Like, you probably know somebody, I have somebody in the top of my head right now that I can think of that is negative all the time.
25
You could win the lottery, And they'd be like, "Oh my God, do you know how much you're going to have to pay in taxes?" Like they can find the bad in everything.
26
And they're that way because they have accidentally, I'm sure they didn't do it on purpose, they've accidentally wired themselves to find the bad in everything.
27
But people who really actually become resilient and develop a really resilient mindset are different.
28
The people who have done the inner work and worked on themselves
29
and worked on their mindset and worked on their trauma and worked on their past and everything, they see life differently than everybody else.
30
Like those who have spent time going and finding the things that's going on, like in the trenches, in their mind and in their life, the ones that are doing the real inner work,
31
they don't collapse when things get hard.
32
Why is that?
33
Because they've trained their brain to find the good, even if it's hidden under layers and layers and layers of chaos.
34
Now, I want to be very clear.
35
I'm not talking about toxic positivity.
36
I'm talking about you finding good
37
in anything that's happening so
38
that you can become a better person thinking better to work out of whatever negative thing is happening in your life.
39
This is called neurological resilience.
40
It's like you learn to internalize the truth behind the yin and the yang, which is within every hard thing, there is something good.
41
And even if it's tiny, if you search for it, you can find it.
42
You just have to be willing to look.
43
And so I want you to remember this phrase the rest of your life.
44
Happiness is a choice.
45
Now, that phrase...
46
When I put it on Instagram or I talk about it on an Instagram Reel, it pisses a lot of people off.
47
It triggers a lot of people.
48
Because they're like, "Well, you don't know my life and you don't know what's happened to me."
49
You have to understand not some feel -good slogan.
50
And I'm not being all woo -woo when I'm like, "Hey, happiness is a choice.
51
Your life is on fire.
52
Act like it's not on fire." What I'm saying is not a feel -good slogan.
53
It's neuroscience.
54
Your brain is always rewiring itself.
55
always.
56
And every time that you try to find something good, which means that you are not being on autopilot anymore,
57
but you're actually taking time and energy and intention to find something good,
58
you're actually strengthening the part of your brain that is responsible for positive pattern recognition.
59
Now, on the opposite side of that,
60
if you are actually looking for the for negative pattern recognition.
61
And so in neuroscience, there's a thing called Hebb's Law, and they say neurons that fire together, wire together, which means that anytime that you think something a certain way,
62
that wiring becomes stronger.
63
And if you decide that you want to think differently, you're going to actually start to wire together new neurons that have never been together.
64
And so when you practice happiness and gratitude and finding the good in things, especially when you don't feel like it,
65
you're actually literally reshaping your brain You're doing three different things.
66
You're strengthening your prefrontal cortex, which is where your decision -making and your optimism comes from.
67
You're soothing your amygdala, which is where your fear and your threat detection comes from.
68
And you're building more dopamine receptors in your brain, which is where motivation and pleasure comes from.
69
So over time, this actually will become your new default setting.
70
So you don't even have to try to find the good in things.
71
You'll actually just start living that way.
72
And I can tell you, from 100 % in my own anecdotal story Trust me,
73
I was the definition of a negative Nancy when I was younger.
74
I could find the negative in anything and I could give excuses
75
and I could tell you why I was screwed over all the time
76
and why life wasn't working out for me and other people always had good luck and I had bad luck.
77
But now my default setting is to find the good in everything.
78
But I also do, just so you know, have the overall, because now that I've been living my life now for a while, and I've seen things happen for my benefit,
79
even when I didn't think they were going to be in my benefit, I truly believe, and I have this like just thought over my entire life,
80
that with all 40 trillion of my cells, I believe it, that...
81
everything that's happening in my life is happening for me.
82
Not happening to me, because if it's happening to me, I'm a victim.
83
If it's happening for me, then it's actually happening for me to learn or grow or get better or to have a better life.
84
And I believe that to my core.
85
And so let's actually tell you with research.
86
So I gave you my anecdotal, oh yeah, this is what happened in my life, but I don't wanna just give you fluff, I wanna actually talk real studies for those of you guys that want proof, right?
87
So there was a study that was done at Indiana University where they used fMRI scans to show participants who practice gratitude.
88
and they showed that the people who practice gratitude showed more activity in the medial prefrontal cortex of their brain,
89
which is the area that's linked to learning and decision making.
90
They studied them six months later, and they actually found that the effects lasted over six months after the study ended.
91
Which means when you train yourself to look for the good in something, your brain eventually starts doing it on autopilot.
92
Now, I don't want to give you just one study in case you're very, you need a lot of studies and really a lot of proof to believe me.
93
There was actually a study that was done by Dr. Martin Segelman, who is considered the father of positive psychology,
94
and showed that people who practice optimistic reframing, so whenever something happens, you find the optimism in that situation,
95
were more likely to recover from setbacks and experience less depression in their lives over time.
96
And then the last one, Harvard psychologist Dr. Shawn Acker found that five minutes a day of positive journaling
97
and finding the positive in their life significantly increased happiness and reduced stress hormones like cortisol in somebody's brain.
98
So this isn't, like I said, toxic positivity, like, oh my god, the house is on fire.
99
I'm just going to act like it's not on fire.
100
It's not toxic positivity, it's neurological facts that your brain actually starts to change and rewire itself.
101
for the good and finding the good when you actually take time
102
and intention to find the good in anything that's going bad.
103
And you have to understand that the rewiring is not something that just happens instantly.
104
It's not like you do it one time.
105
But if you stay consistent, it will be inevitable.
106
the way you like to think of, the way you should think of your brain is kind of like a big cornfield, right?
107
Like think of your brain like this giant cornfield and this new, maybe you've been negative your entire life and you're just trying to figure out how to be more positive.
108
Every time that you choose to find the good, even when it's buried, even when it's in the middle of a bunch of chaos, it's like walking a new path.
109
the very first time in that cornfield.
110
Is it gonna be hard to walk through a cornfield?
111
If it's a brand new path, yeah.
112
But the next time you do it, it's gonna be a little bit easier.
113
And the next time you do it, a little bit easier.
114
The hundredth time you do it, it's gonna be way easier.
115
Eventually, that path becomes clearer.
116
it becomes easier for you to walk down, aka to start to think through,
117
and it becomes a road that you actually will start to take in your brain over time, even without thinking after a while.
118
But the truth that most people avoid in this situation is you do have to push yourself.
119
Like you have to push yourself sometimes to when you see shit hitting the fan, be like, okay, I've got to get out of my victim mindset.
120
I've got to stop being so sad and I've got to figure out.
121
What is the good that could possibly come from this?
122
How could this be working out in my favor?
123
What lessons can I get from this?
124
It's like happiness just doesn't float down from the clouds and it's not delivered to you by a unicorn, right?
125
Like you don't just wait for something to make you feel happy.
126
You have to decide that my natural state will be happiness.
127
So you have to sit there and say, I'm going to find one thing to be grateful for today.
128
I will shift my focus, even when my brain wants to catastrophize everything and think that my life is in shambles.
129
I'm going to stop feeding this victim story in my head, and I'm going to find out how the world is working for me.
130
Because if you don't, your brain will just keep collecting evidence that your life sucks.
131
And that's a natural part of our brain.
132
It's called the negativity bias.
133
It's like this way in almost every single person.
134
I've done entire episodes on the negativity bias you can go back and listen to.
135
So your brain will always look for and collect evidence.
136
that things are going wrong as a protection mechanism for you.
137
And so you know who also collects evidence?
138
Your subconscious mind.
139
And whatever you think about a lot And whatever you repeat the most, it will believe.
140
So if you say stuff like, "Oh, I'm stuck," or, "I don't have any good luck," or, "Nothing ever works out for me," or, "Life is just hard and I'm always screwed over," Guess what?
141
That is actually going to become your truth.
142
And so what you want to do is this: when something becomes hard, acknowledge it.
143
I'm not saying, don't be like, "Oh my god, no, this is, yeah, no, it's completely fine." I'm not saying that you need to, you know, spray perfume on a turd.
144
What I'm saying is clean up the turd and then make the floor that was once on shinier.
145
Find the good in that thing. So acknowledge.
146
Okay, yeah, this is tough.
147
This is really hard.
148
I really do feel it.
149
then you want to just breathe through it.
150
Because when stuff is really hard, your brain's usually all over the place.
151
And when your emotions are high, your logic is low.
152
So you breathe.
153
Anchor yourself in the present moment.
154
It might be two minutes you need to breathe or if shit's really hitting the fan, it might be ten minutes.
155
And then just ask yourself to try to see, you know, change your perception in some sort of way from this is so bad, this is so bad, this is so bad and doom and gloom.
156
Ask yourself, What can this teach me?
157
Like what's one good thing that could come from this?
158
Like how can this circumstance possibly make me stronger.
159
Or like, if everything is happening for me, That must mean that this thing's gonna make me better.
160
So what lessons can I pull from this?
161
I And it might be like, you know, I'm actually learning to ask for help.
162
Or this pain that's happening is showing me that I need to figure out new boundaries.
163
Or it could be even, "I'm still here in that something." And you can find the good in the fact that you're still here.
164
And that becomes your access point for starting to rewire.
165
So it's like, what good can come from this?
166
What lessons can I pull from this?
167
How can I make this make me stronger?
168
What can this teach me?
169
And you start to actually ask yourself these questions, because when you ask yourself a question, or ask anybody a question, you're framing their perception.
170
And you're framing your own perception from something's wrong, this is not good, to what can I learn from this?
171
How can I get better in this?
172
And so I want you to understand, in your life, happiness is a choice.
173
It really is.
174
And if you're going to have a great life, if you're going to be happy in your life, then you need to make the choice that no matter what happens,
175
You're going to end up having a great life
176
that everything in this universe that happens around you is happening for you for your greater good.
177
You're not the story of your past.
178
You're the narrator of it, and you're the person who gets to reframe everything that's happened to you, to reinterpret everything that's happened to you,
179
to rewrite everything that's happened to you, and to see it from a different perspective.
180
And like life gets hard.
181
You're not going to go through this life without at least a decent amount of pain.
182
But when you're hardwired for growth, you push yourself, you smile through the tears, you laugh in the middle of chaos,
183
and you keep finding the gold that's hidden inside of the dirt.
184
Because every single time that you do, what you're doing is you're building yourself and your brain neurologically into a stronger,
185
happier, and more powerful version of you.

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由は？
人生の困難に直面した時、ポジティブな思考を維持することがいかに難しいか、あなたも感じたことがあるでしょう。このビデオでは、ストレスや不安を乗り越えるためのマインドセットの重要性が語られています。英語スピーキング練習を通じて、こうした内容を実際に声に出して表現することで、あなたの思考力や発話能力を高めることができます。英語で自分の気持ちを表現することは、心の健康にも良い影響を与えます。特にこのビデオは、逆境においてもポジティブさを見つけ出す力を育む内容となっています。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
このビデオでは以下のような重要な文法構造や表現が使われています。
- “Happiness is a choice.” - 「幸せは選択である」というフレーズは、自己責任とポジティブな思考の重要性を強調しています。
- “You have to understand...” - これは相手が理解すべきポイントを強調する際に使われ、より説得力のある話し方を助けます。
- “If you can train yourself...” - 条件文の使用により、具体的な行動がどのように結果に結びつくかを示しています。
これらの表現を英語スピーキング練習で使用することで、自分の意見をより効果的に伝えられるようになります。また、shadow speech（シャドーイング）を実践することで、発音やリズムも改善できます。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
ビデオの中で特に注意すべき発音やアクセントのポイントがあります。例えば、「happiness」や「resilience」のような複雑な単語は、正確に発音するのが難しいかもしれません。また、「internalize」という単語は、ストレスの多い状況下での発音において、特に難しさを感じることがあります。これらの単語を練習する際には、YouTubeで英語学習を行いながら、英語シャドーイングを活用してみてください。何度も練習することで、スムーズな発音が身に付きます。
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 現在完了進行形 have/has been + -ing — 以前に始まり今も続いている動作 | I've been living · have been watching |
| 条件文 if + 節, will/would + 動詞 — 条件とその結果 | if you stay consistent, it will be · if you don't, your brain will just |
| 関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加える | people who really · people who have · those who have |
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | have done · have spent · they've trained |
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。
