쉐도잉 연습: How to Journal (Like a Philosopher) - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
So if you want to start journaling, it's actually pretty simple.
2
There are basically three steps.
3
First, just get a journal.
4
Find one that you like.
5
I like these Lloyd's term soft covers lately.
6
Second, get a pen that you like to write with.
7
I really like fountain pens, but you should just pick whatever works for you.
8
And third, the step is to just write.
9
Make a habit of it.
10
Try to write every day if you can.
11
And if you can't write every day, just write when you feel like it.
12
It really is that simple.
13
But every time I talk about journaling on this channel, I get one question I'm going to give you a guide to journaling.
14
I'm going to tell you what to do when the words aren't flowing.
15
And along the way, I am going to talk about journaling's relationship to self -improvement, which is one reason so many of us journal, and also the philosophy behind it all.
16
If I'm struggling to write, I found that there is a reliable structure that I can follow that lets me write about a page's worth of content.
17
First, I write a paragraph about something that happened that day, or if I'm journaling in the morning, something that happened the day before.
18
I'm just writing about some event in my life, something that was notable.
19
I'm being selective here.
20
I'm not writing about everything that happened to me, and I am not aiming for this to be a comprehensive account of my entire day.
21
So as an example, a few days ago, I was writing in my journal about something that happened at work.
22
Basically, this event occurred.
23
The details don't really matter for this video, but it was something that I found very stressful, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part.
24
and There was some stress for me until it was resolved.
25
That was a notable enough event that I decided to write about it in my journal.
26
So after I've written my factual account of the event in my life, I then try to write about something that I did well.
27
This is something I can feel proud of.
28
This is an achievement or a little bit of a success, a small victory,
29
or even just an instance where I was able to reliably fall back on a habit that I've built up over time.
30
to actually figure out what I would need to do to solve the problem.
31
Now, because it turned out it was a misunderstanding, I didn't actually have to do much.
32
But what I was proud of was
33
that I broke the problem up into some smaller problems and started solving the most important ones.
34
After I've written that paragraph, I write a paragraph about what did not go well.
35
This is an opportunity for me to identify problem areas in my life, to identify places where I want to improve.
36
These can over again.
37
Or it could be bad habits that I've cultivated that I want to try and break.
38
So I'm someone who's prone to anxiety.
39
And when a problem arises, I tend to spiral for a little bit.
40
I can usually then collect myself and solve the problem.
41
But I always go through that anxiety spiral.
42
And I want to stop doing that.
43
So I try and identify times when I let my anxiety get the best of me.
44
And then I try and think about how I can avoid that.
45
What are the conditions that make
46
to follow because one very effective technique for combating anxiety is figuring out where the anxious mind goes wrong
47
and actually being able to reason with yourself
48
so far i have written about an event i have written about something i'm proud of
49
and something that i'm not proud of a success and a failure
50
but after that there's still something else worth writing and
51
that is when i try and zoom out
52
and think about the bigger picture this part really isn't a paragraph it can
53
pages on those days when I have a lot to think about.
54
What I'm really trying to do is figure out what this event has in common with other events in my life.
55
Or really, I am trying to fit this event into a larger narrative about my life.
56
I am giving a sort of internal logic to my life story, and I am using my journal as an opportunity to do that.
57
Let's talk a little bit more about this and the philosophy behind it.
58
Many philosophers, just to name a few, Charles Taylor, Alistair McIntyre, Martin Heidegger, there are many others, but those are some notable names.
59
They think of persons as primarily storytelling beings.
60
So what makes us
61
persons as opposed to mere animals is that we are able to construct and tell a narrative about ourselves.
62
It's not as if we all have a formal narrative written down.
63
Despite being someone who has consistently journaled for about a decade, it's not like I have written an autobiography of myself.
64
And even those who write autobiographies don't write totally comprehensive accounts of their lives.
65
But as we live our lives, we are thinking about how events relate to one another,
66
We are looking for coherence and we are placing them in a more or less linear format.
67
We're being selective.
68
We think about some events more than others, but all the time as we live, we are constructing a narrative about ourselves.
69
As we tell this story about ourselves and construct this narrative, really we are constructing who we are.
70
What I think is interesting though, is that most of us don't take an active role in this construction.
71
We do it out of habit and routine. to break the routine.
72
It is designed actually to take a more intentional and active role in telling my life story to myself.
73
If my life is a story.
74
I want to be its author.
75
but I also want to be a good author And that takes practice.
76
Journaling is my practice.
77
The idea is that I want to go beyond a fragmented account of my life.
78
Julia Anis, who is an ethicist and a scholar of ancient philosophy who I really admire, calls this making sense of one's life as a whole.
79
She discusses this at length in the first chapter of her book, The Morality of Happiness, a book that I highly recommend.
80
Even if you're not an academic philosopher, it's pretty readable.
81
According to Anis, ancient ethics begins with one simple question.
82
Am I satisfied with my life as a whole, with the way that it has developed and the way that it promises to continue?
83
For ancient philosophers like Aristotle, the central problem of ethics is happiness, or what they would call eudaimonia.
84
We could also call that human flourishing.
85
Achieving happiness is no easy task.
86
It takes work, and a lot of that work is reflective work, reflecting on one's life as a whole.
87
And that is exactly what a regular practice of journaling can provide.
88
So if you have been struggling to get started with journaling, maybe give this format a shot.
89
All you have to do is write about something that happened to your day, write about something you're proud of, something where you can improve, and then try to place it in the larger context of your life.
90
Write that story about yourself.

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.
