I spend a lot of time alone and I prefer it that way.

Hey guys, it's Leah.

I'm an American living in China for the time being

and I like to share parts of my life with you guys on this channel

and recently I've been getting a lot of comments and questions asking if I miss home,

if I'm homesick, or if I feel lonely because I spend most of my time alone.

These are all valid questions.

So I thought I would give you guys some advice on how to be alone without being lonely

and also give some advice for those who are curious about moving abroad no matter what the country is

but feel a little bit nervous.

The first thing is to get rid of outside voices.

You need to stop caring about how you think other people are going to perceive you

or how you think other people think about you

because honestly other people don't think about you that much

if at all so you don't really need to worry about what other people think

if you go out to a restaurant alone

if you go to watch a movie alone nobody is thinking

about you you are the only person thinking about yourself second you really need some hobbies you need things

that you can work on alone personally

I have a lot of hobbies for example I like to read I like to do puzzles

while I listen to podcasts I like to draw

and paint all of these things are things I can do alone

and it also helps me to recharge third

you have to get comfortable in your own skin like you basically need to learn how to love yourself

and that sounds really cheesy like I'm sure you've heard

that a million times by now and it's kind of lost its meaning

but what mean by this is that you have to learn how to accept yourself instead of trying to constantly change yourself.

For me, I'm very introverted.

I'm not very social.

I don't have many friends, which is why I spend most of my time alone.

There was a point of time where I felt pretty insecure about this because I would see other people going out,

going to parties, being really social, and having this huge group of friends.

And I just was wondering what was wrong with me like why don't I have

that kind of lifestyle but the truth is I'm just like not

that kind of person so when I accepted who I was

and stopped trying to force myself to become someone else

I felt a lot more happier my next tip is you can focus on a mindset shift

so instead of thinking oh my god I'm

so embarrassed to be here alone this is so awkward and

so embarrassing you can think wow

it's really such a privilege for me to have the opportunity to do this all on my own.

This is something I realized after years of experience of feeling down about myself

or feeling sad in different moments where I was alone.

I just realized if I changed my outlook

and changed my mindset on how I perceive myself and how I perceive that moment,

I can actually make myself feel happier and I can actually appreciate my own company a lot more.

Another tip I have is that you should keep a journal

and I know a lot of people talk about journaling

but I don't think it has to necessarily be writing things down on paper or a traditional kind of journal or diary.

I just think that

if you're spending a lot of time alone then you should still be practicing the way that you express your thoughts.

So it could be writing things on paper, but it could also be, you know, setting up your phone and talking for a few minutes

or doing something else to kind of log your thought processes and,

you know, get out all of the emotions that are just pent up inside of you.

It's just one way of expressing yourself without an audience.

Now, if you're thinking about moving abroad but feel nervous

and you have this fear of the unknown

then i'm gonna share some of my own advice based on my own experience

i've gone abroad a few times totally on my own

and at first it can be very daunting it can feel scary

but once you do it the first time it gets a lot easier the more

that you do it and this leads to my first tip for this segment which is just do it.

Don't let fear get in the way of your dreams and your ambitions.

I know so many people who really want to go abroad,

and they really have this life imagined in their head that they would like to live,

but they stay in their hometown because they're afraid of not knowing anybody.

They're afraid of learning a new language, afraid of making new connections and starting over, but it's really not as scary as you think.

I actually think it's more scary to not do something you really want to do because you're afraid.

Similarly, don't let other people make decisions for you.

If you're young and you haven't settled down yet and you're not married, you don't have kids yet,

and you have the opportunity and the finances to go abroad for even a short period of time,

there really shouldn't be anything that stops you if you really want to do this.

You shouldn't let other people's opinions stop you from doing what you want to do.

I know some people really care about how their parents think of them

or their parents have a huge say in what they do we can respect our parents

and value their opinions while still chasing our dreams it's really possible

and sometimes you just have to do it regardless of what they say personally

i have people in my family who were really worried about me

when i said i wanted to go abroad or

when i told them

that i was going i wasn't asking permission I was saying hey I'm going to China

and some of them were worried just because it's so far away

or I don't know many people here

but I'm okay I've been here for a

while now like everything gets sorted out you just have to trust yourself

and that also brings us to our next point

which is you should do some groundwork first before jumping into an opportunity to go abroad

and this also connects to how to be okay with being alone

because you should be okay with spending time on your own.

If you go abroad, there are going to be

so many times where you're totally alone and you have to trust yourself

and gain experience in doing things alone and relying on yourself so that when you go abroad,

you're not frantically running around like a chicken with their head chopped off.

You can still figure things out.

You have the ability to solve problems because you've done it before.

Lastly if you want to go abroad I would say trust your intuition but also push yourself out of your comfort zone.

So you want to be aware of your surroundings you know don't put yourself into dangerous situations

and be aware of the people and the environments around you

but also don't let the fear of the unknown stop you from trying new things.

100

You know you still want to put yourself out there talk to new people

101

and do things that make you a little bit uncomfortable.

102

And the more that you do these things, the easier it's going to get for you later on.

103

These are just some of the tips

104

that I have been thinking of recently as I've been spending a lot of time alone and a lot of time abroad.

105

So let me know if you guys have any related tips, anything that I didn't mention in this video,

106

leave them in the comments and we can help each other out.

자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, abroad, scary, perceive 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.
