1
This whole aspect of the lungs and how they're built
2
and how they have a whole architecture of receiving and really dealing with what comes their way,
3
this is a part I think of achievement we sometimes do not notice or do not have in our mind.
4
What I think of now sometimes, what I didn't understand back then was an advice my grandma often gave me.
5
She said when I was being very eager, going like to get something, you know, but tense maybe she would say a dolce dolce mousie, which was like soft, soft.
6
And back then I always thought it's like this relax, you know, and when you're kind of like tensed up, that's not a great advice to get, because you usually don't relax then.
7
But when I read about the lungs, I realized I think she meant something entirely different.
8
It was that, you know, life can be hard, challenges can be tough.
9
And if we just tense up and reaction towards that, energy doesn't suffice.
10
We really need sometimes to use softness to go all the way all the way
11
and now when I have a very stressful day earlier I would have clenched up
12
and put my muscles into like attack mode
13
and my jaw would maybe get a bit tense too
14
but nowadays in between like meetings or something I would go really soft
15
and just really relax and then I realize oh this is a way
16
that really makes my energy work for me
17
and this is how I can go through a long hectic day way better than just tensing up
18
so softness is actually a really important counterpart in, you know, going the extra mile, getting the things you want, softening up in between.

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。
