1
If you are like most people,
2
there is a gap between the person you are and the person you wish to be.
3
There are little things you think you should do and big things you ought to achieve.
4
From working out regularly, eating healthily,
5
learning a language, working on your novel,
6
reading more, or simply actually doing your hobby instead of browsing Reddit.
7
But it sometimes feels that to achieve your goals you have to become a different person
8
Someone who is consistent puts in more effort has discipline and willpower
9
Maybe you've tried your hardest to be like that and it worked for a while
10
until you find yourself slipping back into your old ways in
11
The end you always seem to fail
12
and with every failed attempt you become more and more frustrated and annoyed with yourself If you believe success and hustle internet,
13
it's all your own fault.
14
If you don't succeed, you just didn't want it enough and the failure is all you.
15
But change is actually hard and as with most things in life,
16
understanding why makes things easier.
17
The Jungle Imagine your brain as a lush and dense jungle.
18
Moving through it, say to make a decision to do something,
19
is like moving through an actual jungle.
20
It's hard and it costs energy.
21
Your brain hates expending energy,
22
so it came up with a trick.
23
All your actions and behaviors leave paths in the jungle of your brain.
24
As you start doing something,
25
you trample down some plants and make rough,
26
improvised trails through the undergrowth.
27
The more often you do the thing,
28
the more pronounced the trail becomes.
29
Over time, it turns into a path that is easier to tread,
30
so you take it more often,
31
and it turns into a street.
32
As you repeat doing the thing over and over for years,
33
the street turns into a highway.
34
Traversing it becomes effortless, familiar and comfortable.
35
The more pronounced your brain highways,
36
the more you get used to their comfort.
37
So we continue to use them,
38
which means we tend to do what we've always done.
39
This is why change is hard,
40
especially as an adult, when your jungle is crisscrossed by lots of established streets and highways.
41
To understand how those highways are built,
42
we need to distinguish between two things.
43
Routines and Habits The things you do,
44
routines and habits
45
A routine is a sequence of actions
46
that you carry out the same way every time because they've worked out well for you For example,
47
you get the same ingredients for your favorite dish
48
and cook them in a certain order because you like the taste of the result.
49
Or, before going to bed,
50
you set an alarm at 6.30 because this is when you want to get up.
51
Imagine routines as being executed by a wise planner.
52
It's slow and analytical, responsible for strategizing and mental calculations.
53
The planner is aware of the future and carefully considers what kind of result you want.
54
Based on that, it chooses actions to achieve specific outcomes even if they are uncomfortable like taking a shower after getting up.
55
Routines can eventually turn into habits which feel much easier
56
because they're basically a sequence of actions carried out without thinking about them.
57
You've done them so often before that your brain considers them rewarding and a great response to a situation.
58
So, a habit can feel like you're on autopilot.
59
You don't have to convince yourself to do something that's a habit,
60
you just do it.
61
The important thing about habits is that they are set in motion by triggers,
62
context cues that can be single things or entire situations that give your brain the signal to start the behavior or action.
63
You already have a lot of triggers in your life,
64
like when you see your phone.
65
You almost always unlock the screen.
66
Or you reach for the seatbelt when you sit in a car.
67
Or when you buy your coffee before work,
68
you also get a cookie even though you aren't actually hungry.
69
Habits are executed by an impulsive toddler.
70
It responds to your immediate desires based on what's around you,
71
without considering any longer-term goals.
72
For the toddler, the future doesn't exist and it hates hard work.
73
So when it notices a trigger,
74
it steers you to take this easy road inside your brain that leads to a familiar, rewarding result.
75
If you get coffee, the toddler also wants the cookie just because that's what you do every morning.
76
This rewarding feeling is also how most of your bad habits started.
77
Chocolate is tasty, browsing Reddit is occasionally mildly entertaining.
78
This is why you repeat these actions,
79
even if they're bad for you.
80
feelings associated with an action demand to be repeated and so a bad habit is born.
81
While the toddler sounds like a built-in sabotage mechanism,
82
it is as important as the wise planner and actually they work together most of the time.
83
You need your wise planner for thinking big thoughts and parallel parking and doing your taxes.
84
But letting your wise planner do everything would cost too much energy.
85
Outsourcing mundane
86
and repetitive tasks to habits managed by the toddler allows your brain to easily manage your daily life
87
while dealing with more complex mental challenges at the same time.
88
So if we want to change and introduce a new behavior into our lives,
89
we can actually use these energy-saving mechanisms to make it easier.
90
We'll focus on small things, not big ones.
91
Improving your life a little is so much better than aiming high and changing nothing.
92
Especially because small changes can do a lot over months and years.
93
to build a habit.
94
If you want to make change easier,
95
the best way may not be to force it with willpower,
96
but to convince your brain that it's not that big of a deal.
97
By creating new routines and then turning them into habits.
98
You want your wise planner to construct that first trail and then use your toddler to help initiate the action effortlessly.
99
Let's say you want to work out to be fitter,
100
a a very common goal.
101
The first thing to do is to break down this pretty vague goal into clear separate actions,
102
because the idea is to make the action itself as easy a threshold as possible.
103
So small it's manageable and so specific that you don't have to think about it a lot.
104
For example, a tangible controllable action might be doing 10 squats every morning.
105
So you can start by trying to create a routine,
106
but already include clear triggers that the toddler can pick up later on.
107
Remember, a trigger is nothing more than a signal that you always associate with the action.
108
They can be visual pointers like seeing a particular object,
109
like your training outfit, or a certain time of day,
110
or a designated place like a nearby park,
111
or even better, all of these things combined.
112
The important thing is that you always start doing your action in a specific context.
113
This trigger is the start button that will eventually set off the action automatically
114
So to establish a home workout habit with 10 squats to
115
begin with You could make sure to always do them with
116
your exercise gear on at the same place of time like in your living room at 8 a.m
117
Once you have your trigger and action all you need to do is repeat them regularly
118
Ideally every day
119
if you keep going they will change from a routine to a habit from a trail to a highway
120
Don't get this wrong, the squats will still take you energy to do.
121
But the decision to do them will feel much less like a chore and more like a regular part of your day.
122
While this is simple, it's not easy.
123
Many things you want to turn into habit don't offer as much instant gratification as wasting time on Reddit.
124
To make your new action easier to repeat and more likely to be picked up by the toddler,
125
try to make it pleasurable.
126
Not necessarily by rewarding yourself after you've done it,
127
but by making the action or behavior itself more enjoyable.
128
Like only listening to your favorite podcast while working out
129
or chipping away at your taxes while you wait for civilization to load the next round.
130
You need to figure out what works for you.
131
In principle that's it.
132
Frustratingly simple like most things you can do to make your life better.
133
How long it takes for your toddler to take over and establish a habit varies widely.
134
It depends on the behavior you're trying to get used to,
135
what kind of person you are,
136
your stress levels and many more things.
137
It takes anything between 15 and 250 days until a new habit is kicked off automatically by its trigger.
138
You won't know how long it will take for you.
139
Starting is the easy part,
140
especially in the first week or two.
141
Continuing to do it every day is the hard part,
142
but it does get easier as you keep going.
143
There are no silver bullets for change
144
But the science of habits is a reminder that it is possible no matter how old or young you are
145
Even if you only end up doing a little more good stuff or a few new things that's still a success
146
Being a little bit more healthy
147
or knowledgeable is a million times better than being unhappy about a thing and changing nothing
148
In the end change is a direction not a destination So now,
149
hoping we've given you a bit of insight and motivation,
150
here is the thing we made to make this progress easier with design and science.
151
Please bear in mind you don't need to buy anything to work on yourself.
152
This is optional.
153
Having said that, we struggle with change as much as anyone else,
154
so we've created our own habit journal,
155
as much for ourselves as for you.
156
Before we printed anything, we tested it on ourselves and got feedback from the Kurzgesagt team and experts.
157
The idea is for you to track your habit progress for your desired behavior.
158
There's a tutorial part which guides you through the hardest part of the process step by step.
159
You'll get helpful pointers, reflect on your progress and how you could make things easier for yourself.
160
Once you get through the tutorial part,
161
the habit journaling starts, regularly interwoven with examples,
162
science breaks and reflections that we hope will help keep the journey interesting.
163
our gratitude journal, it's cloth bound,
164
with an embossed hardcover and printed on high-quality paper.
165
Nice to the touch and with lots of beautiful illustrations,
166
this book is a companion on your personal change journey,
167
however small or big it may be.
168
Getting things from our shop is the best way to support Kurzgesagt and what we try to do here on the channel.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?
이 비디오에서 다루고 있는 내용은 변화에 대한 이야기로, 자신의 목표를 달성하기 위해 작은 습관을 형성하는 법에 대해 설명합니다. 영어 쉐도잉을 통해 이러한 내용을 연습하면, 단순히 단어를 반복하는 것이 아니라, 연설의 리듬과 감정을 이해하고, 자신도 모르게 내일을 위한 습관을 만들 수 있는 방법을 배울 수 있습니다. 이러한 비디오는 자기계발적인 주제를 다루고 있어, 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 영어 실력뿐만 아니라 사고방식을 변화시키는 데 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. 또한, IELTS 스피킹 시험을 준비하는 학생들에게도 유용한 표현과 문장 구조를 익히는 기회가 됩니다.
문맥 속의 문법 및 표현
- "Imagine your brain as a lush and dense jungle." - 이 문장은 비유적 표현을 사용하여 상상력을 자극합니다. 학생들은 이런 식의 비유를 통해 영어의 다양한 표현을 배울 수 있습니다.
- "Your brain hates expending energy." - 여기서 사용된 현재형 동사는 일반적인 사실을 나타내며, 영어로 자신의 의견이나 사실을 명확히 표현하는 법을 배울 수 있습니다.

일반적인 발음 트랩
이 비디오에서 주목해야 할 발음 트랩 중 하나는 change와 easier의 발음입니다. 특히 'ch' 소리를 정확하게 발음하는 것이 한국어 화자에게 어려울 수 있습니다. 'easier'의 경우에는 '이져'처럼 발음하는 것이 아니라 ['이즈어']에 가깝게 발음해야 합니다. 영어 발음 교정을 통해 이러한 발음들을 연습하면 보다 자연스러운 발화를 할 수 있습니다. 또한, 화자의 억양과 속도를 따라 하는 것이 shadowspeak 기법에 매우 효과적입니다.
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.
