쉐도잉 연습: How to Stop Wanting to Buy New Things | Minimalism - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
One video I made a while ago was how to stop wanting to buy things.
2
And I wanted to sort of revisit this idea, but specifically talk about upgrading, replacing, and just buying things we don't necessarily need.
3
This list will basically be a few things I wish I knew
4
when I first got into minimalism and frugal living and how they were and frankly still are, keeping me from bringing new things into my life,
5
and spending where I don't need to.
6
But first, if you're new to my channel, thank you for stopping by.
7
Here we talk about minimalism, frugal living, tech, and things of that nature.
8
So if that sounds good to you, and you end up liking the video, Be sure to like and please emote on the subscribe button, Let's get started.
9
The first tip I have here is stop browsing for fun.
10
This was something that was easy for me to dismiss because I didn't realize how much I actually did it.
11
I remember just casually browsing on Amazon or the Nintendo eShop to see what was on sale.
12
And once in a while, I would come across something that wasn't even on my radar for purchase, and I had zero desire for when I opened up that shop.
13
but whether it was just a really good deal or something I was convinced would bring me some temporary joy, it was enough for me to sometimes buy it.
14
I had a moment of clarity during one of these sessions, and I really just asked myself why I was even browsing on one of these places in the first place.
15
Shopping seemingly seems to be disguised, or not even disguised, as a hobby these days.
16
So once I realized that all these websites and places
17
that want me to spend were literally designed to be fun and make spending more enjoyable,
18
ultimately I learned that browsing for new things and shopping for fun really just isn't that fun.
19
Bye.
20
Remember that wanting things is often about emotion, not usefulness.
21
And when I say emotion, in my experience, it's usually about coping with some sort of boredom or stress.
22
Boredom creates fake problems that spending feels like it might be able to solve
23
and stress feels like it can be temporarily numbed by buying something that might spark a moment of joy for me.
24
I needed to learn
25
that obtaining new things really wasn't a good way to deal with any sort of emotional problem I might have been facing.
26
What it took for me to personally turn this around was just to simply separate my wants versus needs, and making sure pretty much any decision emotionally wasn't really a good idea.
27
You know, it's been a while since I had a random intermission in a video and just thank you guys for watching.
28
And I feel like it's way overdue, so...
29
Thank you guys for watching.
30
Let's get back to it.
31
Reuse your favorite things intentionally.
32
This is a point I'm actually really excited to talk about
33
because revisiting my favorite things a few times a week or even
34
if it's just a couple times throughout the year has in some cases felt like I'm rediscovering them all over again.
35
This basically applies to anything that I own from games to clothes to tools for work.
36
But I think a key part of this was realizing that the novelty of new things fades pretty quickly.
37
and that getting more time and use out of my favorite things only deepens my appreciation for them.
38
Part of this appreciation comes from when I discovered Wabi Sabi, which is a philosophy that embraces imperfection and wear.
39
That taught me to love stains or tears that accumulate on my clothes or backpack.
40
to the dents or scratches on some of the other things that I use daily.
41
It really just makes me feel like I'm getting my money's worth when my favorite things are getting used more intentionally, and it makes me appreciate them a lot more.
42
Remember that novelty fades fast.
43
I kind of just brushed over this, but let me elaborate for a minute.
44
I think this applies more to spontaneous or impulse purchases, but I'm sure we've all had scenarios where we purchase something and the novelty or excitement fades rather quickly.
45
That in itself kept me in a loop of buying things, always chasing for that short -term excitement and that would lead to basically instantaneous buyer's remorse.
46
When I think about all my favorite things that I use often, all of those items had a lot of thought and even waiting periods behind them.
47
And that helped me make sure I wasn't making this purchase for the short -lived excitement or novelty.
48
Moving forward, I recommend just paying a little bit more attention to purchases to see if they actually have intentionality behind them.
49
Create a routine that doesn't revolve around consumption.
50
This one can be pretty simple or complicated depending on your current routines.
51
What I mean by that is that I, over the years, curated a routine that ultimately avoids constant spending and always wanting to buy things.
52
i know for me i was always most vulnerable and spending prone
53
when i had no hobbies or projects going on during those periods of my life
54
and it's pretty easy to be convinced that having any sort of fun
55
or beginning any hobby requires some spending to just get started And to be fair, to a certain degree it might.
56
I've talked dozens of times about free things or nearly free things to do,
57
but this point is more about trying to reduce or eliminate the triggers in your routine that lead to consumption.
58
Whether that's eating every day at a restaurant, or going all in on gear when you're just trying out the new hobby or activity.
59
Things like walking, reading, drawing, cozy gaming, cooking, exercising, listening to music, or just organizing your space,
60
these create satisfaction without feeding those consumer cravings.
61
Realize that owning fewer makes your favorites stand out more.
62
To me, this is one of the unmatched best things that came out of decluttering and becoming a minimalist.
63
One important thing decluttering taught me was that owning fewer things magnifies how much I like or appreciate something.
64
This might also just be a problem with my attention span, but when I was buying new and more things,
65
it just felt like my attention was being constantly divided amongst these new things.
66
And I hypothesized that one of the reasons I felt like this is
67
because my current things never got the chance to feel important or useful for me.
68
I really think a good way to look at this is
69
to think about before we were adults who had jobs and spending money, and maybe we were just more open to using things we already had
70
because we couldn't just drive somewhere and buy a new item.
71
But getting back on track, when I initially decluttered my life, I learned that for the most part, all my most important items can fit into a backpack.
72
And when I didn't have to focus on excess items, I could just focus on the most important ones.
73
This would absolutely keep me from wanting to buy new things because I simply wouldn't even be thinking about it anymore.
74
I would be happy with the essential few I was surrounded by and my favorites.
75
These were just a few tips on how I pretty much eliminated the urge to constantly want to buy new things, and I hope you gathered some value from this video.
76
Let me know if anything specific resonated with you, or if you have some of your own tips to share.
77
Anyways, as always, I appreciate the time you spent here, and I appreciate you watching.

맥락 및 배경
이 비디오는 물건을 사고 싶다는 욕구를 줄이는 방법에 대해 이야기합니다. 특히, 불필요하게 물건을 업그레이드하거나 교체하는 것에 대해 다루며, 우리는 소비하는 것에서 벗어나 진정으로 필요한 것에 집중해야 한다는 메시지를 전달합니다. 이러한 생각은 미니멀리즘과 절약 생활로 이어지며, 일상생활에서의 불필요한 소비를 줄이는데 도움을 줄 수 있습니다. 이러한 내용을 바탕으로, 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 영어 듣기 능력을 향상시키고자 하는 학습자들에게 유용한 정보를 제공할 것입니다.
일상 의사소통을 위한 5가지 주요 구문
- Do I need this? (이것이 필요할까요?)
- Why am I browsing? (왜 쇼핑하고 있을까요?)
- Is this a want or a need? (이것은 욕구인지 필요인지?)
- How often do I use this? (이것을 얼마나 자주 사용하나요?)
- Am I buying out of boredom? (지루해서 사는 건가요?)
이 구문들은 소비와 관련된 대화를 할 때 유용합니다. 영어 쉐도잉을 활용하여 반복적으로 연습하면 실생활에서 응용할 수 있을 것입니다.
단계별 쉐도잉 가이드
이 비디오의 내용을 효과적으로 이해하고 활용하려면 다음 단계에 따라 shadow speech 연습을 해보세요:
- 비디오 시청: 여러 번 비디오를 보고 주요 아이디어를 염두에 두세요.
- 구문 반복: 비디오에서 소개된 주요 구문을 반복적으로 따라 하며 발음을 연습하세요.
- 의미 파악: 각 구문이 전달하고자 하는 의미를 생각하며 자신만의 예시를 만들어보세요.
- 쉐도잉 연습: 비디오의 내용을 따라하는 영어 쉐도잉을 진행하여 자연스럽게 말하는 연습을 합니다.
- 자체 테스트: 구문과 내용을 잊지 않았는지 스스로 확인하고, 필요시 다시 연습하세요.
이러한 단계에 따라 연습하면 shadowspeaks처럼 자연스러운 영어 소통 능력을 기를 수 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부에 이 방법을 적용하여 더 나은 학습 효과를 기대해보세요.

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.
