Hi friend, today I'm going to teach you to take back control of your mind with journaling.

I promise you, you can do it.

You just need a piece of paper and a pen, and you're going to pull yourself out of a slump.

Get your brain to start thinking clearly again, start to feel like yourself.

It would be pretty awesome if you could do those things.

Maybe you're overwhelmed with cheap dopamine, media, stimulation.

Maybe you're going through something difficult in your personal life.

Whatever it is, if your brain is going 100 miles an hour with negativity, with rumination, spiraling thoughts you feel totally out of control with.

Journaling can be a really helpful practice to bring yourself back to center.

I call this practice redemption journaling and I have used it countless times.

The first step is I need you to get a piece of paper and a pen, something you can write with and on,

and you're going to write the date and the time at the top of the page.

And it's very important that you start with that because you don't have to think about that.

Most people, when they go to start writing or journaling, they start freaking out.

They feel all this resistance.

Oh God, I'm going to have to face myself now.

I'm gonna have to think up something to say, oh I have so many thoughts in my head but I don't know what to say.

Guess what?

Don't think about it.

Pick something, pick a little detail that you don't have to think about, which might be the date and the time.

You can also write your name at the top.

What you've just done in doing something like this, writing the date, your name, whatever, is you've made a mark on the page as you started.

You have created an open loop in your brain, however small, that now you can just continue with.

Here's what you do for your first sentence.

I want you to just write down where you are in the physical world.

Where are you?

You are somewhere.

And I trust that if you're watching this video, you have the cognitive bandwidth to assess where you are in the physical world.

Maybe you're sitting in your room.

Maybe you're lying in bed.

Maybe you're on the train.

Maybe you're at your desk at work and you shouldn't be watching this right now.

I don't know.

I don't care.

That's awesome.

Just write it down.

I am sitting in a chair.

Great.

First sentence.

Done.

Awesome.

Then all you're going to do is connect that thought to another thought?

What's another small, basic, material realm observation you can make?

What's great about picking these little physical details is they require zero interpretation.

You don't have to write about how you're feeling or what you think is happening.

You're not going to start in the most complex, painful aspect of your situation.

You are starting with physical details.

I can hear the flickering of the fluorescent lamp overhead.

My coworker just walked past or the crumbs in my bed.

There are crumbs in my bed.

That's it.

You're not imposing a judgment on it.

You're going to start with these physical details.

I want you to do this until you have about half of a page filled out.

What you've done is you have warmed yourself up.

You are now in the writing practice and you've made no creative decisions.

You have just served as a journalist for your life, reporting on the most basic menial details.

And that's awesome.

Now you've begun the process, I want you to take that observation muscle that you're starting to practice

and I want you to zoom in on the specific details of your situation that you might call chopped.

Maybe right now, let's say you're in a dopamine hole.

You have not left your room in several days

and you are surrounded by evidence of a lifestyle you no longer want to live.

Maybe there are mounds of dried tissue on the floor. Are there?

Maybe there are open boxes of vapes surrounding.

I don't know.

I want you to write down the specific pieces of evidence that are making you feel not great right now.

Again, no interpretation.

You're just reporting the facts.

Maybe you're going through a breakup.

You might say, yesterday I got broken up with.

No feelings or interpretations yet.

We'll get to that but you're just going to write down the thing that happened, things that happened.

In doing this, you create a little bit of distance between all of the obsessive, ruminative emotions that have been driving you crazy.

What a lot of people do when they journal, I've seen this and I used to do it myself,

is they start with the most general assessments of how they're feeling.

Oh, I am such a lazy person.

I can't get myself to do anything.

I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I think I'm, and there's nothing wrong with getting your thoughts out.

I I think that if it's that or nothing, do that.

What I don't love about that practice though, is you're making all of these judgments on yourself that are not informed by any evidence.

And what you probably need when you're obsessive, ruminative, spiraling in a dark place, is you need to create a little bit of distance.

There is a stain on the floor that has been there for three days.

Many times I have stood up to try and clean it, but then I have sat back down on my bed.

No feelings in that statement, but it's a very, very specific piece of evidence that speaks to maybe the problem we're trying to address here.

What you're noticing here, hopefully, is that this is what I think in a lot of senses good writing is.

You don't make the interpretation for the reader.

You give the reader all of the evidence, you give them the details, and you let them paint the picture themselves,

or you let them jump to their conclusions.

This is a lesson I learned from Chuck Palahniuk, who's the author of Fight Club,

but it's a pretty solid axiom that I think a lot of writers go back to.

Hemingway, many others who I'm failing to name right now.

Don't… tell the reader what they should feel, give them the evidence and let them feel that way themselves.

We're going to apply this same principle to your journaling.

Does that make sense?

Because you're basically, when you're journaling, both the writer and the reader of the creative material that is your life.

So don't say I'm a lazy piece of shit, or don't say I'm a lazy, depressed person who has no executive functioning.

Don't make those claims about yourself.

Tell me that you have a pile of clothes in the corner of the room

100

that has been staring you down for three days or whatever it is.

101

Or say, you know, talk, then once you're starting to get into the practice, then you can say,

102

you can talk about the glimmer of tears in your significant other's face as they ended things with you.

103

Again, that's a physical realm detail.

104

That's a piece of evidence.

105

No interpretation, no feeling on it.

106

Okay.

107

What I'll encourage you to do in this first round of this practice is I I want

108

you to focus on all of the grimy, gross, really chopped details of the situation, okay?

109

You're just basically making a list of all the worst aspects of your experience right now.

110

Now, again, you're not ruminating on who you are.

111

You are almost in a third -person perspective right now, looking down at yourself, okay?

112

This distance is helpful.

113

What you'll also notice is when you get really specific, you start to have a little bit more empathy for yourself.

114

Not even because you're in the right or your decisions are justifiable, but because you're looking down at this creature who isn't really you

115

because you're separate from them as you're in this narrative mode.

116

And you can kind of, it's like, oh, I get it.

117

Like, I get you.

118

You're okay.

119

You know, here's a really scared, lonely human.

120

And again, you didn't use the word scared and lonely.

121

You just mentioned the fact that this person hasn't left their house and,

122

you know, hasn't eaten in a few hours and maybe needs to take a shower.

123

And you're seeing this person, you have a little bit of compassion for them.

124

That's ultimately what we try to get to a little bit.

125

Now you might also experience momentary feelings of shame or guilt or self -loathing.

126

And with these things, like with all negative emotions that we don't want to experience, we're just going to observe them moving through our cognition as

127

if they are bits of driftwood in a flowing body of water.

128

And our cognition is that river.

129

And we're just going to watch them drift away.

130

Now your goal might be to fill two pages with that observation practice, looking at all the gross, grimy details of your situation.

131

And when I say gross and grimy, by the way, I'm not actually imposing judgment on you or your situation.

132

I'm just aware that that might be how it feels to you right now.

133

That's certainly how it's felt for me.

134

I've turned to this practice of redemption journaling when I have felt the worst about myself.

135

And I've used this basic practice of observation to create distance.

136

And I look at all the things I don't like

137

and there's something cathartic about writing down all the things I don't like in just very detached clinical prose.

138

I think you'll have a similar experience.

139

But once you've said you've reported on all the details you need to report on, you feel like your job is done, typically that's two pages.

140

Sometimes it's one page.

141

But once you've done that, then you're going to close the journal and you're going to step away

142

and you are going to systematically get back in your body.

143

And the way you do this is through initiating a metabolic response.

144

You're going to get your heart rate to speed up.

145

You're going to get yourself either really hot or really cold.

146

You're going to reset your situation.

147

This can look like a lot of different things.

148

You need to assess what you're capable of right now.

149

I don't want you to push yourself past your limits or hold yourself to a standard that is unreasonable for you.

150

Otherwise, you won't do anything.

151

This might be going for a walk outside.

152

This might be going for a run outside.

153

This might be doing a full workout.

154

It might be getting into a sauna if you have access to

155

that or taking a really hot shower or a really cold shower.

156

It might mean eating a meal.

157

It might mean moving a little bit gentler through your life over the next 15 minutes and cleaning the kitchen,

158

doing the dishes, resetting your living space.

159

You're basically going to impose some level of physical effort over your life in the physical realm to change your situation.

160

You want to basically snap out of the thinking mode that you've been in.

161

After you've done all those things, you're going to feel like a different human being.

162

And it really takes a lot less than people realize.

163

Like one little shock to the body, a good shock, don't tase yourself,

164

one little shock to the body is often enough to feel like a human being again.

165

But you need to feel something in your body

166

and then you can come back to the page

167

and then I want you to do the exact same practice but focusing on some of the nicer details.

168

So you can say, you can report on the experience you just had.

169

The water landed cold on my skin like little pinpricks of

170

the high pressure water from the shower crashed upon my skin like little pinpricks of light.

171

Whatever comes out of you.

172

The geometric proportions of my freshly made bed are soothing my mind.

173

Whatever it is, okay?

174

You're just going to write little details.

175

I've surely beaten this horse to death and then back to life and then dead again on this point.

176

So we're going to move on.

177

You are ultimately not your obsessive ruminative thoughts.

178

You are not your thoughts.

179

You've probably heard that before, but you can hear it a hundred thousand times and that might not get you out of the spiral.

180

What will get you out of the spiral is action. And what

181

that action can sometimes start with is just creating a little

182

bit of distance in your cognition by just reporting on the details.

183

Report on the details.

184

You can fill multiple pages like this

185

because again you don't have to think about what to say

186

you don't have to make any judgments about yourself

187

you don't need to know yourself you don't need to find yourself

188

you are just a consciousness moving through the most insane adventure of your life

189

it's the only adventure you'll live it is your life okay you are you are a consciousness

190

and I want you to just report on what's coming in through your senses and then let the interpretation happen later.

191

But in the modern world, we've fallen into a cycle of constant obsessive interpretation.

192

And we often forget to live in our bodies and to just be here.

193

And I hope that these things don't sound like bumper sticker cliches to you.

194

I hope that there's something in these words that rings true for you.

195

I want you to practice the skill of living through writing the physical details.

196

And then from there, then you can start to, you know, maybe make interpretations or draw connections, conclusions through the stuff you've observed.

197

But when you're really overwhelmed, when you're spiraling, just start with that.

198

Redemption journaling.

199

Start with the chopped details, write everything that's wrong in the physical realm.

200

Give me the evidence.

201

Don't tell me how to feel.

202

Don't tell yourself how to feel.

203

Just write down what happened, what occurred, things that happened in the material realm.

204

And then take a shower, go for a walk, go for a run, get in the sauna, change your body's physical state.

205

Eat some food, drink some water, make some tea, light some incense, come back, write down the good details.

206

You're going to feel like a human being again.

207

You are in control of your life.

208

I promise you, you can do this.

209

This is, by the way, the exact practice that got me in the flow of writing

210

and got me to write my second book and my first book that I don't have right now, How to Run Away from Home,

211

which is available in all my links everywhere.

212

Let me know if you have questions on the writing process or journaling.

213

I'm not an expert.

214

I'm just a guy who's trying to stay sane in the modern world through writing and creative work.

215

And if that resonates with you, then I invite you to join me.

216

I think that's it.

217

Okay.

218

Bye.

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.
