레슨 만드는 중...
1
Hi, I'm John, I'm 37 and for most of my adult life I've struggled with mental illness.
2
The medication I take helps most of the time, but sometimes when I'm stressed or overworked,
3
my symptoms creep up on me and I have to work really hard to get them under control again.
4
But over the years, I've learned a few strategies
5
that have helped me deal with my symptoms before they become a big problem.
6
These tips have really helped me stay healthy and positive.
7
First, I try to focus on the positive things in my life.
8
I think about the family, friends and treatment team members supporting me in my recovery journey.
9
I know they are there to help me find solutions.
10
If I come up with solutions instead of just focusing on the negatives, I find I feel much better.
11
And each day I deliberately take time to appreciate and recognize everything I am thankful for.
12
I'll write in my journal, send my friends thank you cards or help others.
13
When I focus on all the good stuff in my life, I don't spend as much time thinking about the bad stuff.
14
Next, it's really important for me to connect with others.
15
Being around my friends and family always puts me in a better mood and helps my self-esteem.
16
These meaningful relationships help me maintain a positive attitude, which gives me space for personal growth.
17
It's also very important for me to stay physically fit.
18
I try to eat a healthy diet, exercise a little each day and get enough sleep, as directed by my physician.
19
I always feel great after I work out, even if it's just a walk around the block.
20
What is your best way to cope?
21
One of the hardest things for me was developing coping skills that worked for me.
22
It was tough to learn how to respond in a healthy way to stress, sadness, criticism and negativity.
23
When I learned what worked for me, I was able to get back to being myself.
24
One way I learned to cope is by writing about my negative experiences and how they made me feel.
25
I also got professional help when I needed it.
26
I learned to recognize the signs and symptoms that I knew were warning signs that I was not doing so well.
27
And I found it's better to reach out for help sooner rather than later.
28
Asking for help takes courage.
29
And I am so glad I asked my wife to help me find a therapist.
30
My therapist helps me in ways that my friends and family can't.
31
Don't get me wrong, their support is also very important to me.
32
It took me a while to start putting these strategies into play.
33
It didn't happen overnight.
34
I tried them one by one.
35
Some work better for me than others, but everyone's different.
36
So I take my medication as directed by my doctor.
37
And when I'm feeling extra stressed, I know I have the tools to help me get back on track.
38
Talk with your doctor, try these tips and find the strategies that work for you.

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.
