쉐도잉 연습: 5 Simple Ways To Crush Negativity in Your Mind - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
If you're sick of beating yourself up, if you're sick of living in a negative place, or if you're just curious,
2
like how do I use simple research -backed methods to actually make my mind work for me?
3
Holy cow, are you in the right place?
4
Because that's exactly what we're gonna talk about today.
5
Five simple things that you can do to take control of your mind, let go of negative thoughts,
6
and redirect all your mental energy toward happiness, success, and self -transformation.
7
And so, you know, I always am very intentional about why I want to talk to you about certain things.
8
And what inspired this conversation today is the conversation I had with my daughters.
9
I mean, we always get on FaceTime, the three of us do, typically when one of us is getting ready or we're waking up in the morning.
10
And we were on FaceTime the other day.
11
And as I shared earlier, one of our daughters is 24.
12
The other one is 25.
13
One lives in New York.
14
One lives in LA.
15
I live in Southern Vermont.
16
And so just like you do with the people you care about, we get on FaceTime all the time and we're yapping away.
17
And all of a sudden, one of my daughters is like, I'm just in this negative place right now.
18
It's like, nothing I do is enough.
19
Everything that I put on my body doesn't look good.
20
No matter how hard I'm working, I just am constantly trashing myself.
21
And then my other daughter chimed in and I was horrified to hear
22
that they were both kind of in this place where they're focused on the negative, where their thoughts are kind of turned back against them.
23
And as we're having this conversation, it reminded me of a story that I've shared on this podcast and I've shared in some interviews that I've done.
24
You know, I've been talking about the Let Them Theory book.
25
And so you may have heard this story, but it's such an important and compelling story that it bears repeating.
26
And so here's what happened.
27
My 25 -year -old daughter Sawyer and I wrote the Let Them Theory book together.
28
And on the press tour, a ton of people have asked me, what was it like to work on a project of that magnitude, writing and researching a book with one of your kids?
29
And it was incredible.
30
I mean, it was absolutely incredible for a number of reasons to not
31
only get to know her in a completely different way because I'm her mother and she's my daughter.
32
And so we have the mother -daughter dynamic.
33
And we're very close, but we've always kind of had this friction.
34
But having this project that we could both focus on
35
and organize ourselves around was super cool because I got to experience her in a completely different way.
36
And here's what happened.
37
So when we first started working together, I asked her if she would simply just do this research project about the let them theory
38
because we had done a podcast episode on it and there were all of these comments.
39
It had gone crazy viral and really resonated with people around the world.
40
So I was like, hey, Sawyer, would you just dig into the comments on this podcast episode
41
and the things that you're seeing that people are saying online about the things
42
that I've been sharing and then come back to me in a couple of weeks with an analysis of what you're seeing.
43
And I expected this to take like two weeks.
44
Now, mind you, I'm very different than my daughter, Sawyer.
45
I mean, I've got like this crazy artistic ADHD brain and Sawyer thinks in Excel spreadsheets.
46
Before working for me and working with me, she worked at a huge cyber security firm that is in 44 countries
47
and was in like the digital marketing and marketing tech side of that business.
48
And so here she is taking on this research project for me on the side
49
and I'm expecting this thing to take two or three weeks.
50
I'm expecting the result to be like a briefing that is gonna be a couple pages long.
51
She hands me 36 hours later, a 27 page.
52
Like, I don't even know how to describe the way this thing was organized.
53
It was like columns with color -coded tabs
54
and links to the source material
55
and she had a two -page synopsis of her analysis of all of the sentiment online
56
and she had identified all these things that needed further research.
57
I mean, it was jaw -dropping.
58
My brain just doesn't work like that.
59
My brain is like letting a box full of mice loose in your kitchen.
60
Everything scatters in different directions.
61
This was a level of organization and mental horsepower that I actually didn't know
62
she had.
63
I just didn't understand that this was how her brain worked.
64
And when I saw this work product from her generated in 36 hours,
65
I was not only dumbfounded at just how intelligent she is and how differently her brain works, I had this heartbreaking realization.
66
As I looked at the 27 pages, I thought to myself, oh my God, I now know why she's so hard on herself.
67
Because if she doesn't have a project to aim this supercomputer at, she aims it at herself.
68
And I just want that to sit in with you for a minute.
69
that if you have this supercomputer, and you do, you have a supercomputer between your ears.
70
It is designed to solve problems.
71
It is designed to spot patterns.
72
It is designed to learn new things.
73
It is designed to keep you safe.
74
It is designed to analyze things.
75
It is designed to create and to connect and to constantly be growing.
76
That's what your brain is doing.
77
It's doing an incredible job because if you're listening to this
78
and you're able to hear these words and absorb this information or you're watching me on YouTube right now, your supercomputer is engaged.
79
It is processing information.
80
It is filing it away in your brain.
81
There are neural pathways connecting and firing and wiring together.
82
Like it is doing its thing.
83
It's keeping you breathing.
84
It's keeping your body temperature in a certain place all while you're doing this.
85
And that's just like a scratch of the surface of what
86
that supercomputer is doing but I want you to really stop and consider what I'm saying.
87
If you have this massive horsepower between your ears,
88
which you do, and you're not aiming it at something like a big project or something that's important or something that's positive,
89
it's true, isn't it?
90
That your brain aims itself back at you.
91
And when this happened with my daughter and I had this realization, it was as if I was meeting her for the first time.
92
I finally understood her at a level that I had never understood her as her mother.
93
And it even revealed a little bit about why I'm hard on myself.
94
I mean, I just described my brain as working like taking a box of mice
95
and letting it loose in your kitchen and everything scatters everywhere.
96
But I have absolutely had those moments, and I know you have too, where you are so focused on something that you're enjoying.
97
Like it might be something like gardening.
98
It might be that you're a great video gamer.
99
And so you get lost in the moment.
100
It might be when you've played sports or you're playing a instrument, or it might be when you're out on a hike and you're just so hyper present.
101
Why?
102
You can get lost in the flow of focus because you're in the present moment,
103
because your supercomputer in your mind is aimed at something outside of you.
104
But isn't it true that in those moments where you feel consumed with negativity
105
or you're beating yourself up or you're constantly telling yourself it's never enough
106
or you're seeing nothing but the negative when you look in the mirror,
107
you've just taken all that horsepower that is designed to create and laugh and grow and solve problems, and you just aimed it right at you.
108
And so it got me thinking, if you have a brain that is designed to do all these incredible things,
109
solve problems, grow, learn, laugh, create, be present, build, like all these amazing things,
110
how is it that you and I can take that truth?
111
Because I think you're with me.
112
I can kind of feel you with me like, oh my God, I've never thought about it that way.
113
It's true, Mel.
114
Like if I'm engaged in something, I'm not beating myself up.
115
If I'm working on a project that I'm truly focused on, I don't have time to trash my appearance.
116
Huh, never thought about it that way, that this supercomputer can be used for good.
117
And if I'm not using it for good, holy cow, it feels kind of bad because it just aims it right back at me.
118
And just in case, before I move on to these five simple things, because what I'm going to do is I'm going to teach you today.
119
It took me far too long to learn this.
120
I wish they taught this in schools.
121
I wish they taught this in elementary school.
122
That's how simple I'm going to make the science today.
123
There are five simple things that you can do, and you can start doing them as I'm explaining them to you.
124
You can do these things as soon as this episode is over.
125
These are so simple that you can make them part of your day -to -day life.
126
These are ways for you to take control of your mind, that supercomputer in your brain.
127
These are ways for you to let go of the negative thoughts, which is really what happens when your brain directs itself back at you, right?
128
And third, we're going to talk about how do you redirect
129
that power of your mind and aim it at something that energizes you?
130
How do you take all that mental energy and instead of aiming it at yourself?
131
you actually aim it at something that creates happiness and success and more positivity and self -transformation.
132
That's what's available to you.
133
And I didn't understand any of this until several years ago.
134
And so the second I'm done recording this, I'm sharing this with my two daughters.
135
And before we jump into the first skill, okay, and I've already kind of alluded to it, but before we jump into the first skill,
136
I want to bring in one more visual example
137
because I personally find that whenever you talk about the mind or thinking or mindset,
138
it so quickly becomes fuzzy and too intellectual and too conceptual
139
that I lose interest and I don't know what the hell people are talking about.
140
So I like things that are visual because it helps my brain, the little mice that are running around to just anchor on something.
141
So we've already talked about the supercomputer and the fact
142
that you've got this brain between your ears that is designed to learn patterns.
143
It's designed to grow.
144
It's designed to fire and wire information together and program it in your mind.
145
It's designed to filter the world.
146
It's actually designed to help you get more of what you want.
147
And we're going to talk more about that in a little bit.
148
And that's a cool thing.
149
Have you ever in your life had the chance to spend time with like a golden retriever or a Labrador?
150
You know, one of these dogs that from the moment they come into this world as a puppy.
151
There is something hardwired in their DNA to just fetch.
152
You throw a ball and you don't even have to train a Labrador
153
or a golden retriever or some of these other kind of hunting breeds, I guess they call them.
154
They will just go right after that ball that you throw, bring it right back.
155
You throw it again, they bring it right back.
156
It's like they are programmed to chase down a ball that you throw.
157
They are programmed to chase it down and to retrieve.
158
Guess what?
159
Your brain is designed to do the exact same thing.
160
I'm going to say that again.
161
Your brain is like a Labrador retriever or a golden retriever.
162
It is hardwired to actually chase down something that you direct it at.
163
And so I love this visual because the first thing
164
that I'm going to talk about today of the five things
165
that I'm going to teach you is one of the things
166
that helps you get out of that negative rut where your brain is aimed at you and you start trashing yourself down,
167
right, is to actually give your brain something to chase down and focus on.
168
Think about it like you need a project or think about like the project is the ball.
169
So with a dog that loves to chase a ball, you take that ball, you throw it in whatever direction, that dog forgets that you exist.
170
That dog is maniacally focused on that ball.
171
That dog will literally run over a child in order to get the ball, get the ball, get the ball, because it's hardwired to focus on that, and then it brings it back.
172
Your brain does the same thing.
173
Your brain is just sitting around like a bored laborator waiting for you to pick up a ball
174
and put it in motion, waiting for you to throw something out into the future and say, go get it.
175
Your brain loves projects.
176
You know this.
177
It wants something to gnaw on.
178
It is bored.
179
Like, have you ever noticed too, like if you got a dog that needs a job, if it doesn't have a job, what does it do?
180
It chews your slippers.
181
It starts gnawing on the corners of your cabinets.
182
Next thing you know, it's naughty and it's peeing in the corner.
183
Why?
184
Why?
185
Because it's got all this mental energy and this desire to have a project
186
and to chase down a ball and you're not feeding that desire.
187
Your brain's the same way.
188
It needs a job.
189
And that brings me to skill number one.
190
One of the best things that you can do is understand
191
that giving yourself a project or a goal or some sort of ball that you can put in play in your life,
192
it is one of the best ways to direct your brain
193
at something other than you it's one of the best ways to start to leverage the natural capacity
194
that your mind has to solve problems and to actually chase something down
195
and this isn't just my suggestion this comes from not only research
196
that i'm going to walk you through but it comes from something
197
that world -renowned phd new york Times bestselling author Martha Beck has been talking about.
198
And you may have seen her talking about this.
199
It's the basis of her new book.
200
And there's so much research that I'm also going to share with you after you hear this clip.
201
But you're going to hear Martha Beck talking about the fact that, you know, when you're in an anxious state or you're ruminating, we now know in the way that you and I are talking about this,
202
the supercomputer is now aimed at you.
203
You're up in your head.
204
Instead of like being focused on the world and solving problems, you're now tearing yourself down, you've made yourself a problem, right?
205
The other way you can think about this is
206
that Labrador Retriever is chewing on the slipper and being self -destructive because it's got nothing to do.
207
She had this thesis in this book.
208
Well, if you're in that state, being anxious and negative, it shuts down your ability to problem solve.
209
We know this based on the research.
210
We also know it based on common sense.
211
It shuts down your ability to be creative.
212
Well, she thought, well, wait a minute.
213
does creativity and problem solving actually shut down anxiety and rumination
214
and being negative turns out it does and
215
so here's martha beck sharing this idea on the today show
216
and the idea is so exciting and it's also so simple
217
and obvious to understand that you're going to hear martha talking first
218
and then you're going to hear the today show anchors jump in
219
because they totally get it
220
and then what we're going to do after you listen to this is you
221
and i are going to unpack what she said so that you can apply this first skill.
222
Take a listen.
223
And when we've known forever that anxiety shuts down creativity.
224
So I started thinking, what if it works the other way too?
225
What if creativity shuts down anxiety?
226
Oh, that's interesting.
227
So if you, like if I take a client and I do something very simple, like plan a meal for tomorrow.
228
Right.
229
So say you're having a dinner party, start planning.
230
Right.
231
Right now.
232
Get your brain start to think of I'm going to do steak on the Traeger grill
233
and I'm going to serve it with this
234
and what would go good with that now i'm thinking in a different pattern you're
235
and your anxiety is quiet and it does did
236
that work just now it does work it works like
237
that yeah same thing with knitting or with your hands
238
or where you're figuring something out absolutely and so it's anything creative
239
that you should be you should start doing yeah
240
and people say i'm not creative i'm not creative right that's
241
still in the anxiety part just make something you love try using your hands your senses cook garden
242
if you like to draw or paint or do
243
that do whatever just stop and consider what she's saying it's true isn't it
244
that when you're idle your thoughts turn negative when you've got nothing
245
that you're focused on the supercomputer focuses on you and
246
because it's a problem solving machine it typically is looking for problems
247
and then it turns you into one and so i love what martha Rebecca is saying, because she's basically saying, anytime you're worried,
248
anytime you're negative, it's a sign that your mind is now turning you into a problem.
249
And we can change this by picking up a ball and in her language, by doing something creative with your hands.
250
She talked about how, like, just start planning the meal for tonight, open up a cookbook and start flipping through it.
251
And now what are you doing?
252
You've thrown a ball.
253
Your mind is now focused on solving the problem.
254
The problem is no longer you.
255
The problem is what are we going to create for dinner?
256
It's a simple idea that has so much research in it.
257
In fact, I want you to hear this research because it's not just about creativity.
258
It's about the power of having a project that you can aim your mind at.
259
This is this revelation that I had about my daughter that, oh my God, Like, she's got so much horsepower upstairs and so do you that if you're not aiming it at something,
260
it's going to come back at you.
261
And I want to share some of this research with you because it's actually very exciting about simply having a project.
262
And it could be a project like, I've got a project this weekend that I know that I'm going to get lost in.
263
And that is now that my husband and I are empty nesters, it's time for me to go through the closets in the bedroom upstairs
264
and donate what is just being used as long -term storage by our adult children, right?
265
and just kind of reclaim the space.
266
That's a project that will keep my mind occupied, which will keep me from turning it against myself and ruminating.
267
And the research bears this out.
268
Check this out.
269
Simply having a project, according to research done at the University of Exeter, turns down negative self -talk.
270
What's so interesting about this is that they found in this research study
271
that when you have a project and you start chipping away at it, I walk upstairs, I open up the closet, I start sorting through what's in there,
272
that the small steps literally rewire your brain away from rumination.
273
It makes so much sense when you realize, well, that's because I am focusing my brain on something.
274
I'm putting a ball in play instead of having it aim it at me.
275
and when you don't have a project you feel like you're not making progress towards anything
276
which means you have more negative emotions so it works in the positive
277
and the negative and i think you can kind of see
278
that when you're not really working on anything you got an idle mind
279
and that's not going to come to a lot of good here's another research study from the university of michigan
280
and the University of Oxford.
281
This one was published in a journal called Neuron.
282
Having a project also boosts happiness.
283
because having something to focus on actually increases dopamine,
284
which we know is kind of this neurochemical that gets released in your mind that is all about drive, and it helps you focus.
285
And your brain is going to release dopamine, not when you clean out the closet, not when you finish writing the song, not when you finish paying your bills,
286
not when dinner is finished cooking, but rather as you're working toward it.
287
How cool is that?
288
And it kind of makes sense, Because if you take as fact that your brain's a supercomputer that wants to solve problems, that wants to engage in something,
289
that wants to build and design and create and have a project to focus on, when you provide that to the supercomputer between your ears,
290
your supercomputer is a little happier because it's able to chase a ball.
291
It's able to do what it's designed to do.
292
Here's another study from Pennsylvania University that having a project to focus your brain power on,
293
strengthens your overall mental health.
294
Goals give you direction and purpose.
295
Goals help you navigate challenges because it actually gives your mind something to focus on,
296
which helps you build resilience against stress and emotional struggles.
297
And you know what's interesting about that is
298
that I know based on what I'm seeing in the inbox
299
as your fellow listeners are writing in from around the world that you're experiencing just unprecedented levels of stress.
300
And we know that based on the medical experts that we talk to on this show all the time, that the levels of chronic stress that people are experiencing are at unprecedented levels
301
and it would have never occurred to me
302
that one of the ways for you to not allow the
303
stress to put you in an even more negative state would
304
be to have a project something like a painting to do
305
or a closet to clean out or like some sort of something
306
that you're working on because that means
307
that even in a stressed out state you have something that you can aim your brain at so that your tired, stressed out brain doesn't start turning you into an even bigger problem.
308
I just love this research.
309
So number one, what you're learning is that in order to take control of your mind, in order to let go of negative thoughts,
310
in order to redirect your energy toward happiness, success, and self -transformation, skill number one is put a ball in play.
311
Find a project.
312
And if you can make it creative, if you can use your hands, even better because when you focus that supercomputer in your brain on something outside of you,
313
it is happy and it's excited and it's now engaged
314
and that's going to leave you with space that is going to feel better for you.
315
So that's skill number one.
316
What do you do when it feels like your mind has actually turned against you?
317
There's two reasons why I want to talk to you about this today.

이 영상으로 연습하는 방법
- 먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
- 0.75배속으로 한 문장씩 섀도잉을 시작하고, 익숙해지면 보통 속도로 돌아갑니다.
- 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, solve, chase, skill 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
