쉐도잉 연습: Having fun will make you richer and hotter. - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

What if fun isn't the reward after you succeed?

What if fun is the thing that makes you succeed?

What if we've had it all backwards?

I think somewhere along the way, we've lost the art of play and hot take, I don't think it's making us better off.

I think it's costing us more than we realize.

So in this video, I wanna talk about why having fun is the most underrated life strategy there is, how it's actually making you richer and hotter and more successful,

and how to actually start fun maxing your life.

it hey friend welcome back if you're new here my name is jills

and i help women step into their power tap into their divine feminine

and become their best self live their best life so

if that's something you want to do you should subscribe instagram

so we are a generation

that has never been more optimized we know more about our

bodies than doctors had about their patients 20 years ago we

know our resting heart rate our sleep score our exact hormonal fluctuations our exact body things.

By every measure, we should be the happiest, healthiest, hottest, richest, most fulfilled people who have ever lived.

But somehow, that's not how it feels, is it?

And I think we've started to optimize our lives so much that we forgot how to have fun.

And not only that, but how valuable and necessary fun actually is.

Walking became step counts.

Reading became productivity.

Journaling Instagram pictures.

Friendships became networking.

Working out became body optimization.

And rest became recovery.

So I think a lot of us have accidentally optimized the joy out of our lives, too.

And it's secretly making us less attractive, less creative, less successful, less wealthy, and less happy.

It's like how sometimes the most regulating thing you can do for your nervous system isn't another cold plunge

or a breathwork session.

Sometimes it's eating a cheeseburger with and experiencing how good it tastes.

Fun is the most powerful form of regulation, and fun is fuel.

We've been programmed to think that now that we're adults, fun is frivolous, and fun is just a distraction.

It's a waste of our time and energy.

It's something that you can do, okay, fine, once everything else is done.

But fun is what generates energy, and it's the thing that turns your whole about having fun.

We think that we're tired because we're doing too much, so we try to fix it with more rest, more recovery, more optimizing.

But you can sleep eight hours a night and still feel dead inside if there's no joy, no play, no aliveness in your life.

Fun is not a distraction from a good life.

It is the thing that creates one.

And I will walk you through and explain everything, but before we get into that, I just want to thank BetterHelp for kindly sponsoring today's video.

When we talk

actually makes it hard to have fun starts internally in your nervous system your sense of worth

and your belief that you always have to earn rest

and enjoyment that's why having the right support matters whether you're navigating burnout

or guilt around rest

or struggling to switch off therapy can help it gives you a safe space to explore what's underneath the discomfort

and build a life that feels good

and feels fun to live not just productive on paper

and sometimes an outside perspective is exactly what you need to see things differently that's where better help

platform that makes it easy and convenient to get matched with a licensed therapist.

No waiting rooms, no commuting, just professional support from home on your own schedule.

You just fill out a brief questionnaire and get matched with a therapist within a couple days, and if for some reason that first match isn't quite right, you can switch to a new therapist at any time at no extra cost.

If therapy feels like the right next step for you, just click the link in the description or go to betterhealth .com slash jills to get 10 % off your first month.

So when I say having fun makes you life that the most successful people are just the most disciplined and that's it.

They're just the ones who have the most willpower

and they can grind and they can force themselves to do stuff they hate at 5am.

But that's not actually what I see in the people who really make it, like the ones who are rich and successful and also hot, happy, healthy.

Here's a question, okay?

And this is not a trick question.

What is the single most important thing for becoming successful at anything?

Growing a social media platform.

Learning a new skill.

You probably already know the answer is Consistency, right?

Continuing to show up.

We know this.

It's just true.

So let me ask you one more question.

What is the easiest way to stay consistent at something?

The answer is to actually enjoy it, to have fun doing it.

When something is fun, you don't need massive amounts of discipline to do it.

You don't have to drag yourself to go do that thing.

You just keep doing it because you want to consistency and makes it effortless.

It's like how some people start YouTube just to make money

and other people start YouTube because they love making videos

or in my case I don't really care about making videos but I love teaching.

Okay so which one is going to be the most consistent?

The one who just loves making videos or who just loves teaching.

And so which one is going to be the most successful?

the one who enjoys the act of showing up it might look like discipline from the outside

but it's actually passion and purpose

and this is true of basically everyone who's actually made it they might not have picked the most impressive path

or the most lucrative on paper but they picked the thing

that they could happily do for years and

because they enjoyed it they outlasted everyone who was grinding through something they hated

while everyone else is trying to out discipline

and so they never have to really rely on discipline at all

and i made a tick tock video about this once

and i basically said that

if you have to rely on massive amounts of discipline to

do your goals to get yourself to show up then maybe just maybe it's not actually the right thing for you

and i got a lot of hateful comments on that tick tock because there was a lot of men saying that required,

but discipline is a natural byproduct of passion and devotion.

The path to riches isn't chasing quick money, it's finding the work that you would happily spend a lifetime getting good at.

It's having fun.

Look at Alyssa Lu.

Best example of this.

If you don't know who she is, she won Olympic gold at the most recent Winter Olympics in figure skating.

And she's the first American woman to win gold in like 24 years.

But what a lot of people don't realize is that she also went to the Olympics before this, the one in Beijing.

100

And she didn't do very well.

101

She didn't place.

102

And she quit soon after at just 16, completely burnt out because skating stopped being something she loved and started feeling like a job.

103

the word that she used job

104

so she took two years off she went to college she explored other hobbies she got into photography

105

but slowly she started to fall back in love with skating on her own terms this time

106

and so she came back and in her first season back she won the world championship

107

and soon after that she won the olympics same athlete same talent the only difference is

108

that she started having fun again and when she got off the ice at her first comeback performance at the world

109

The first thing he asked her was, "Did you have fun?" So the point is that this time when she reached the top, it wasn't discipline necessarily that got her there.

110

she tried that it didn't work she just got burnout so bad

111

that she walked away from the whole sport what got her

112

gold was joy she fell back in love with the craft

113

and joy did something that discipline never could

114

or let's take another example a polarizing example okay elon musk

115

stay with me i know some of you might like him

116

and some of you might hate him but i bring this up

117

because he literally just became the world's first trillionaire trillionaire not billionaire man,

118

you cannot tell me that that guy doesn't just love building rocket ships.

119

Building all those companies is like play to him.

120

It's his sandbox.

121

It's like when you see a little boy obsessed with their Legos.

122

That man clearly loves to build, loves to create, to tinker, to figure out how things work.

123

And that obsession, that passion, is exactly why he can put in the kind of dedication

124

that would break someone who was only in it for the money.

125

Fun isn't a distraction from success.

126

and the path to it.

127

And not only that, but when you're having fun, this is proven by neuroscience, when you're having fun and you're relaxed, you think better.

128

You're more open to opportunities, more open to creativity.

129

Whereas when you're really serious and stressed, your mind actually loses cognitive function and it becomes more closed -minded.

130

Creativity is a really undervalued skill.

131

And often we think of creativity as like for artists and writers, but no, creativity is ability to solve problems,

132

to see what other people miss, to come up with the idea that nobody else can come up with.

133

And you've probably noticed this: your best ideas don't often come up when you're stressed and you're forcing it.

134

They come

135

when you're in the shower or relaxing

136

or having fun that's often how it works

137

so having fun makes you richer and more successful

138

but it also makes you undeniably magnetic

139

because hotness is not just beauty hotness is aliveness you guys

140

know the movie 13 going on 30 right it's a classic

141

if you somehow haven't seen it the quick version is a

142

13 year old makes a wish to be 30 years old

143

wakes up the next morning in her adult body with this glamorous magazine job living in new york city

144

she still has the heart and the wonder of a kid

145

and it's actually what kind of makes her magnetic her aliveness

146

her ability to have fun her ability to be playful because

147

while everyone around her is very polished and trying to be too cool

148

and is a little dead inside she's the only one who's actually alive delighted by things

149

and the best example of this is the thriller scene and

150

if you've seen the movie you know what i'm talking about

151

so jenna the main character is at this work function and it's this

152

big magazine party and it's not going very well it's very lame it's flopping everyone's too composed

153

and too cool to enjoy themselves

154

but jenna walks up to the dj puts on thriller

155

and just starts doing the thriller dance the full thing fully committed having a good time

156

and what happens from that

157

if you've seen the movie everyone else starts joining in with

158

her everyone else starts having a good time all of a

159

sudden the party is alive everyone starts having the best night of

160

kind of gave them permission to do so

161

and jenna becomes the most magnetic woman in that room

162

because she's having fun it's not because she's the most beautiful

163

or the most polished or the most stylish there's many beautiful women in

164

that room but it's because she is the most alive

165

and everyone can feel that and see that and sense

166

that from her and aliveness is contagious

167

and we're drawn to aliveness the same way that we're drawn to a happy dog energy is contagious and we naturally

168

actually move towards things that are vibrant and pull away from things that are dull.

169

And I think this is something we so often forget about being hot.

170

We think it's this fixed thing about, you know, how symmetrical our face is or our body.

171

Something that you either have and are just born with or something you optimize toward.

172

But the most magnetic women are the ones who are clearly enjoying themselves.

173

The ones who are laughing at their own jokes.

174

So lit up and present that you with them.

175

That is magnetic.

176

Joy is magnetic.

177

And having fun makes you irresistible.

178

And when you're fun maxing your life, what happens? your stress hormones go down, your nervous system starts to regulate, the tension in your body starts to melt away,

179

and it makes you hot, like more physically attractive.

180

I can tell you from experience

181

that the ugliest times in my life have also been the times where I have been the least happy

182

and having the least fun.

183

You know, it's like when you go on vacation for two weeks

184

and you come back and you all of a sudden you have a glow up.

185

Your internal energetic state affects your external appearance for better or for worse.

186

beauty can get you attention, aliveness gets you devotion.

187

Just like beauty might make someone want to look at you, but aliveness is what makes them want to be around you.

188

And that's the kind of hot that you can't buy, you can't fake, and you can't really optimize for.

189

You can only live it.

190

Now, let's get into the important part, the art of fun maxing.

191

How do you actually start?

192

Well, it starts with two questions.

193

The first one is, what do you actually enjoy?

194

Like truly enjoy, not just what

195

and that might seem like a glaringly obvious question but

196

so often we grow up and we just get sucked into adult responsibilities

197

and tasks and all the things that we have to do that we forgot what we like to do for fun.

198

And if you really can't think of anything, the best trick is to think of what did you like to do for fun as a kid?

199

Before all our focus went into productivity and responsibilities and optimization,

200

what were the things that you were naturally drawn to and passionate about and interested in when you were a kid?

201

Maybe it was playing with your mom's makeup.

202

Maybe it was going over to your neighbor's house to play with their dog.

203

That was me.

204

Maybe it was

205

I have a very strong belief

206

that what you loved as a kid is not random and were meant to carry some of that energy into adulthood.

207

Maybe in a different way, sure, but that thread is still there and it is still pointing at something that is true within you.

208

Or notice when you lose track of time.

209

You know, when you've been doing something and you're like, oh my god, it's already been two hours?

210

That's what happens to me when I write.

211

That's what happens to me when I'm with friends.

212

That's what happens when I'm starting any sort of new project.

213

random either.

214

That is a clue.

215

And here's what might be the most important thing I say in this entire video.

216

Fun is not just something that creates joy.

217

Fun creates alignment.

218

And alignment is the secret to getting everything you want in life.

219

Alignment is the secret to wealth, to health, to happiness, to success, to your hottest self, to all of it.

220

When you feel pleasure and joy doing one thing over another, that is not random, okay?

221

That is a messenger.

222

It is a sign that it is meant to do more of, that it matters to who you are and where you're supposed to go.

223

So no, you can't fun max your life if you can't even think of what's fun to you anymore.

224

That's why this is the first question.

225

follow the thread follow what lights you up it is pointing somewhere i promise

226

and the second question is how can i make this more enjoyable whether these are boring tasks

227

that you don't like to do like laundry or work

228

or whatever how can i make this more fun

229

because we almost never ask this we just kind of assume

230

that boring things have to feel boring and

231

that hard things have to feel bad but

232

so much of what drains you isn't the task itself it's that it never once occurred to do some errands.

233

Instead of zoning out and just, you know, getting it done, you can ask yourself, how can I feel more alive right now?

234

Maybe you roll the windows down, you put on a song that makes you feel 16, and all of a sudden a boring errand is kind of a great little moment.

235

And you can do this with a lot of things.

236

Every time I start my day to work, I always ask myself, how can I make this the most fun?

237

A lot of times for me, that means putting on a cute outfit and going somewhere like cute and cozy.

238

Or if I'm really lazy and tired that day, putting on something vibey playlist in the background.

239

Literally, this is why I made my notion template to help me stay organized and be productive.

240

If you want to see my whole notion set up and how I organize my life in an aesthetic fun way, I'll put that video up here and I'll also put it at the end of the video.

241

But like having a cute, organized, aesthetic productivity system, it just makes being productive more fun.

242

It is just incredibly satisfying.

243

Both questions point at the same truth, that fun and available to you, you just have to start actively choosing it.

244

I really want you to think about those two questions because they really are the foundation to start fun maxing your life.

245

But beyond that, here's a few more things that you need to consider.

246

Lower the bar for what counts as fun.

247

Okay, having fun does not just mean flying to Italy and eating gelato, or going to an amazing concert, or going to this crazy party with your friends.

248

Fun is also a long lunch with a friend, a walk with no podcast, baking cookies, a movie on a random Tuesday,

249

grass, picking up some pretty flowers that you saw while doing your grocery shopping, petting that cute puppy you saw on your walk.

250

Now you guys know I'm a Cancer, okay?

251

Those things are all very fun to me.

252

Maybe yours might look a little different.

253

But the point is lower the bar, shrink it.

254

Those big moments and those big events and vacations, those are amazing.

255

Those are lovely.

256

10 out of 10.

257

But that's not daily life.

258

And you don't fun max your life by saving for one great vacation a year.

259

You fun max slowly builds your life and your work around what you actually enjoy,

260

what you're passionate about.

261

Remember, fun is not a nice to have.

262

It's a messenger.

263

It's a sign of alignment, a sign pointing you towards your purpose.

264

So this is a big one.

265

This might mean slowly changing your career towards something that lights you up,

266

or maybe joining a tennis league so that you can make tennis a normal part of your life.

267

Because you can take the vacations and bake the cookies, fundamentally enjoy the life that you are living or the work that you are doing,

268

fun is always going to be an afterthought.

269

There is no fun maxing your way out of a life that you can't stand.

270

And this doesn't mean that you blow up your whole life in one day.

271

You just start small.

272

Get vocal at work about the projects that really light you up and maybe the projects that don't.

273

Say no to the things that drain you.

274

Like if going out and drinking with your friends is not satisfying to you anymore,

275

tilt your days in the direction of what you actually enjoy.

276

Nobody is going to hand you a life that feels good.

277

You have to start building it on purpose

278

and you have to start taking responsibility for your own joy because your fun matters.

279

Okay, it matters.

280

And for some of you, I need to give you that permission slip.

281

And when you follow your joy in little ways, yes, at first it'll feel small and insignificant, but it all compounds.

282

It's like when someone wants to build Build it brick by brick.

283

And after a year of that, you're like, whoa, look at this beautiful new piece of architecture.

284

Same with redesigning your life.

285

You built it brick by brick.

286

And lastly, for those of you who are heavy optimizers, schedule it in first.

287

Yes.

288

Okay.

289

Schedule blocks of fun into your calendar.

290

Make it a priority, just like you make your work tasks a priority or your family obligations a priority in your calendar.

291

put fun in there too.

292

Make it a priority.

293

Or for those of you who are really focused on productivity and optimization right now in your life, fun doesn't really happen by accident anymore, right?

294

Like it used to when you were a kid.

295

Or you say, I'll have fun when I have time.

296

And then of course it never happens.

297

So think of this like your training wheels.

298

You block time, you protect it, and you go do it.

299

Not everyone will need this and eventually you won't need it either.

300

But in the beginning, sometimes you have to be a little bit intentional about it.

301

On a I teach women how to activate their feminine energy because it brings out the joy in them.

302

Feminine energy is really the method for getting everything

303

that you want in life because fun and pleasure

304

and alignment is the path toward everything that you want and it makes you richer, hotter, happier, healthier, all of it.

305

And so if you want to dive into the exact method of how I exactly transformed my life

306

and activated my feminine energy, my Awaken Your Feminine Energy

307

below but so okay if you are into the productivity stuff

308

if you want to see

309

that notion template it's right here basically it'll just walk you

310

through my entire system of how i organize my life in a fun

311

and aesthetic way i've used it for like three

312

or four years now and it just makes my life

313

and my work so much more fun and organized

314

so i hope you could check it out i'll see you next time bye

이 수업에 대하여

이번 비디오에서는 재미가 단순한 보상이 아니라, 성공을 만들어내는 열쇠라는 주제를 다룹니다. 많은 사람들은 성인이 되면 재미를 사치라고 여기고, 생산성 중심의 삶을 살아가기 위해 즐거움을 간과하게 됩니다. 하지만 실제로, 재미는 우리의 에너지를 생성하고 창의성을 높이며, 더 나은 삶을 만드는 필수적인 요소입니다. 이 수업을 통해 재미의 중요성을 이해하고, 비디오의 내용을 바탕으로 영어 회화 연습을 통해 이론을 실전에 적용하는 방법을 배워보세요.

주요 어휘 및 표현

fun - 재미
succeed - 성공하다
optimize - 최적화하다
energy - 에너지
creativity - 창의력
nervous system - 신경계
regulation - 조절
joy - 기쁨

연습 팁

비디오에서 제공된 내용을 활용하여 shadow speech 연습을 진행해보세요. 비디오는 자연스럽고 경쾌한 어조로 진행되므로, 초반에는 천천히 따라 소리내어 말하는 것이 좋습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 할 때, 발음이나 억양에 조금씩 초점을 맞추며 반복적으로 시청해보세요. 이 과정에서 자신이 놓친 부분이나 이해가 안 되는 부분을 체크하며 다시 시청하면 더욱 효과적입니다. 나중에는 자연스러운 흐름을 위해 shadowing site를 통해 다양한 영어 쉐도잉 자료를 찾아 연습하는 것도 좋은 방법입니다. 재미있게 말하는 것이 성공의 지름길이라는 점을 잊지 마세요! 영어 회화 연습은 물론, 즐거운 경험을 쌓는 데 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.

화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.

문형	영상 속 표현
현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때	we've lost · has never been · have ever lived

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.
