Shadowing Practice: Confidence baby - Learn English Speaking with Video

Okay, so you clicked on this video because you want to be confident.

Do you want to walk into any meeting, any room with all eyes on you?

With people actually listening to you and not pretending like they're hearing what you're saying?

Do you want to attract that partner that you desire

because your confidence radiates and they cannot do anything but be near you?

Do you want to walk into every single room and have all eyes on you, even if you're just in your pajamas?

Because that's the energy you radiate?

Well, honey, keep watching.

Because I will show you in this video how to get confident.

And before, before you start to comment, oh my god, it's easy for you to say, you're pretty.

It's easy for you to be confident.

I was more beautiful when I was younger.

Way more beautiful.

I was extremely like when I would go out with my mom people would stop us constantly

and be like you are gorgeous

and I was the most insecure creature on this earth people would walk all over me people would use

and abuse me like crazy you wanted a little dum-dum walking

around Liz was a little dum-dum literally you would ask me anything I would do

that for you through unfortunate situations and through growing up

and realizing my worth i became confident

and right now no i won't do anything for you

if it's not benefiting me i won't i always put myself first i always do

and even my my family started to respect me like even

they are like oh okay she's completely different you know

and i'm gonna show you how so keep watching hi guys welcome back to my channel.

I want to say yes I'm not posting frequently.

I want to stress something.

I am a person that is dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.

I have gone through so much trauma that it is hindering me in my daily life right now.

My behavior is very one day I'm happy, next day i'm not and it's on and off constantly

but i am working on it because like i told you guys

if you have anything that you don't like about yourself whether it's on your appearance

or on your character then change it do not stay the same that's what i've always been preaching

and that's what i will always preach

so i do not like the fact how i treat other people

because my trauma is so deeply ingrained in me

so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna go to the

therapist i am going to journal i am going to meditate

i'm going to pray i am going to read the books on trauma

because i am going to understand myself

and that's what i want for you guys as well guys might say like oh liz it's taking

so long in every video you say trauma yeah honey i

went through 18 years of daily abuse it's not gonna get

fixed in a couple of months this is gonna take years

and i'm aware of that and some days i'm like oh yeah i'm there i'm healing

and the next day i'm like

oh why do i have to go through this i don't deserve this

but it's always up and down up and down

so it's hard it's very hard but at least i'm trying i'm trying

so i know i will get there um one day

and yeah i'm just gonna be the cycle breaker i do not want my children to go through trauma

so i'm gonna stop it with me um so yeah

and i'm literally gonna be the best mom i can

and I'm going to teach them the best things I can and all the love that I needed as a child, I'll give my children.

The first thing you need to do to become more confident is, okay, so from now on, I want you to set daily goals, small goals, small goals, okay,

for example, okay, water, you take water, right, this is one liters of water, you have to start saying,

okay, from tomorrow on, every single day, I'm going to drink one liters of water.

And if you actually, like, maybe even say, like, you know what, for the next month, I'm going to drink every single day one liter of water.

Does not matter how dirty you eat, does not matter what junk food it is, does not matter, at least you drink the one liter, because that's the promise you made to yourself, right?

Now, if you start doing this, and if you start actually drinking the water, you are going to become like oh wait a minute

if i say that i will do something i actually do it

so you are going to be start to trust yourself right for example

if you have uh

if you have a person that's never on time you you meet you you meet up with them

and they're never on time the next time you you go uh on a date

or whatever with them you know that they're not going to be on time

so you don't trust them anymore you don't have

that trust in them anymore right

so the confidence in them is gone it's the same with you

if you promise yourself from tomorrow on i'm gonna eat clean

from tomorrow i'm gonna start working on my business from tomorrow

i'm gonna drink more water from tomorrow i'm gonna start my skincare

and you do none of

that what happens is you don't trust yourself anymore your word means nothing to you

and that's the issue how can you trust yourself

if you keep promising yourself things and you don't come true

so if you are if your friends are all like insecure

and everybody has anxiety i'm sorry but like start to make new friends

that are confident and that you can learn from i i do i'm not saying ditch your old friends

I think you all need new friends you you guys are toxic to each other

because nobody's growing you know so if you have a friend that's confident

and I can teach you how to be more confident how to approach people how to talk to people

that will elevate you in a way and

if you are stuck with friends

that are all like oh let's stay home let's do this

and all introverts then nobody's gonna grow like even me I

am very much like I want to stay home I don't

want to go anywhere I just want to be my bubble i need people

that drag me out i need people

that are like liz let's go here let's go let's go

here let's go meet people let's go do this blah blah

because otherwise i will not come out of my shell i don't

so it is very important to have uh have friends

that you want to be like you know

and i'm not saying ditch your friends not at all you should all have friends

that you want to be like

or you look up to like kind of mentors you know um

if your friends are literally doing nothing with their life

and they they do not want to improve let them go i don't care how hard it is

100

but let them go because those people are very toxic you know

101

because you're gonna be here at one point

102

and they're still gonna be here

103

and the only thing that's gonna happen is going to drag you down on their level

104

or they might come up to yours

105

and where are you going to go you're just here nobody's elevating you you know

106

so at the end of the day I think you can still be friends with those people

107

but make sure you also have people in your life

108

that can elevate you somehow that can be a mentor

109

that can be an example for you another thing I'm going

110

to say is to be more confident is take care of your physical appearance.

111

If you guys saw my self-care routine and how much I put effort into my looks, you guys would be like, whoa, okay.

112

Because I value my appearance a lot.

113

Because the first thing people see when they look at me is this.

114

I cannot impress anyone with my personality at first because they don't know.

115

I'm not like talking to them or anything, you know, they're just looking at me.

116

i always look very clean

117

and i am clean i'm gonna do a video uh to you guys like my favorite self-care things

118

and stuff to help you guys

119

but this is what i mean skincare routine hair care routine um gym my diet um

120

if i don't like something about myself i go ahead

121

and fix it stop being

122

so desperate stop stop being desperate for a relationship stop being

123

desperate for a job stop being desperate for literally everything i

124

am the most you know why i am not desperate

125

because i don't attach myself to things or people

126

if i'm in a relationship i do not expect

127

that person to stay with me forever because that's being delusional completely

128

and that's putting yourself up for for unhappiness failure and heartbreak

129

and i don't do that i always am very realistic

130

and i think you know what this person can leave me anytime this person can wake up

131

and think you know what i i don't love her anymore

132

or i don't want this anymore and that's okay that's okay imagine thinking

133

that somebody is has to be tied to you no you're

134

still an individual this person has the right to leave

135

when they want to and you know what a lot of people say like no

136

if we have children together they must stay and everything

137

if somebody is not happy with you it's their right to leave

138

because that's their life you cannot make somebody force somebody to stay with you

139

and you cannot make yourself believe

140

that they're gonna stay with you forever no you always have to have like you know what it's beautiful

141

that what we have is love and i'm very excited

142

but this yeah this might end as everything is going to end one day you know

143

and once you have

144

that mentality of like yeah they might leave then you're not desperate you know

145

if i have a job and I think like this job might leave me as well

146

and I might not have the job anymore yeah I'm not desperate for this job

147

because I know another thing will come you know this partner

148

leaves another partner will come I will always have my options

149

because I'm amazing it is okay to outgrow people it is

150

okay to outgrow situations it is okay to not have the same hobbies anymore it is okay to

151

just not want the same career anymore not want the same

152

things we as humans constantly evolve we do never like we never ever stay the same we never like

153

when i was younger right i wanted to be a princess okay right now i'm being treated as a princess

154

but i'm not obviously i'm not a real princess

155

and at some point i wanted to be an astronaut and at some point i wanted to be a lawyer.

156

I became none of that, you know?

157

Obviously, you change, you grow.

158

Even, I think, right now, what I'm doing, I think, oh, it's my passion.

159

I love this.

160

I will do this forever.

161

Probably not.

162

There will be some point that I will be like, you know what?

163

I want to do something else, because something else is my interest right now.

164

I'm older.

165

I want other things, you know?

166

This is very normal.

167

The friends

168

that I used to have a couple of years ago are

169

not my friends today anymore why i i outgrew them i got a different mentality

170

so it's okay if

171

if you grew up for example doing uh one hobby like you dance your whole life

172

and and you grew up

173

and you're like you know what i don't want to do

174

this anymore i don't want to dance this is not something

175

that interests me it is okay to let

176

that go you should not be stuck because you spend

177

so many years on it and the same goes for relationships do not think

178

that you have to stay in this relationship because you spend

179

so many years years mean nothing nothing if the situation is not bringing you happiness

180

his confidence is not loud right you do not come inside of a room

181

and you're like oh my god look at my accomplishment oh

182

my god look look how good i look look how good

183

i look no a confidence per a confident person is silent

184

because their confidence radiates so they will sit down

185

and you'll feel this aura that's what i mean like confidence it's not loud no no no no no

186

that arrogance we don't need that you have to be humble right

187

but aware of your worth you walk in somewhere you know

188

that at the end of the day you're not better than

189

anyone you're you're still human you're the same they bleed you will bleed as well you're the same you know

190

but you know your value you know your worth you won't settle for less than you think

191

that you deserve

192

that is confidence what is embarrassment what is embarrassment really honestly

193

you know what like every time i get embarrassed i think

194

of like you know what i'm literally on a ball right the earth

195

and we're just floating around

196

and then i'm looking at all these humans who they don't even know themselves what they're doing with their lives

197

if i can tell you one thing it does not matter

198

if a person is a millionaire

199

or poor a billionaire does not matter nobody nobody knows what

200

they're doing with their lives they're literally all just figuring it out still even

201

if they're 80 they're still figuring it out

202

so everybody's still figuring their life out everybody is so busy

203

and engraved in their own lives nobody really cares about you you're not that important

204

so what is embarrassment at the end of the day who are you embarrassed of these people

205

that don't care about you these people that are

206

so much thinking about their own problems and their own lives

207

and that are literally trying to figure out everything you think they're like oh and even

208

if you think about it do you remember something embarrassing somebody

209

else did like i don't i can literally not recall anything i can recall something embarrassing

210

that i did but i bet those people cannot remember

211

that either is body language okay i'm gonna teach you guys some tricks right

212

if you are sitting on a table

213

or a meeting shoulders back posture should be really good

214

and like this chest forward and stuff this radiates confidence now

215

if i go sit like this it means

216

that i want to crawl up and i want to be a little bold

217

and i don't want to be seen right

218

so we we sit like this it's more elegant you look more elevated

219

and it's better to talk another thing is your hand gestures I had this comment

220

that a girl made to me

221

and she was like Liz you use too much hand gestures

222

while you talk here's one thing using hand gestures immensely powerful

223

why because what else other than your voice can you bring uh your message over with

224

if i talk like this all the time am i interesting to you no it's kind of creepy

225

and my message does not come off across like as it should you know

226

but if i talk like this and i use hand gestures

227

and i'm trying to explain to you what i'm trying to say it's much more bigger

228

and it gives this dramatic effect Another thing I learned is when a person cannot see your hands while talking, they're less likely to trust you.

229

So if you are sitting on a table or whatever, make sure that at least they can see your hands.

230

Even if you're not talking, just rest your hands somewhere and do that.

231

Another thing is I remember when I was working as a student in a restaurant, I used to do this a lot.

232

Like close myself off kind of.

233

It's like closed body language.

234

And the bartender that I was working would always go like this.

235

and i was like why would why do you always do

236

that and he's like never ever cross cross your arms

237

because that's closed body language and that does not invite people to talk to you

238

so open it another thing i want you to do is just go up to people

239

and start talking to them start talking to random people

240

and it doesn't matter what are they gonna do to you what is the worst that can happen

241

no go away don't talk to me okay bye i'm gonna then go to the next person

242

and talk to them start having boundaries if there are certain things

243

that you do not like

244

and you do not want to accept then don't accept them

245

not from friends not from family not from um a relationship

246

from anyone it doesn't matter your boss nobody you do not accept disrespect towards your boundaries right

247

and this is gonna this is really gonna elevate your confidence because

248

when i was younger right i did not have boundaries people

249

could ask me like uh liz can you do this for me i'll be like okay, okay, I'll go figure it out, I'll fix this for you, and I would not ask anything for it, and I was kind of like a pushover,

250

people would make me do everything, and then use me, kind of, but now, they ask me, Liz, can you do this, and if I don't want to,

251

no, I can't, I can't do that for you, Liz, can you come here, no, I can't, I don't, why, I don't want to, what are your plans, nothing, I'll sleep,

252

what's wrong no i don't want to you know how much people start respecting me

253

because i am like that because they are literally like oh okay um

254

so i'm gonna ask somebody else who will do these things for me

255

and liz her time liz thinks her time is so valuable

256

so whenever she does want to meet i'll make sure i show up

257

and show up as my best self i went on a date with a guy once

258

and um this guy was very cocky he thought

259

that you know whatever he was the whatever he was also very famous um he literally picked me up right

260

and his car he sits inside and he's like get in

261

and I looked at him and I keep standing outside he's like what are you doing

262

and I told him I'm not getting in you're not opening

263

the door for me I'm not getting inside of the car

264

he's like I won't open the door for you I turned

265

around I went back home I did not step into his

266

car then he called me he's like what are you doing are you insane are you crazy

267

and then I'm like no no you don't open the door

268

for me i don't come on a date with you

269

and then he's like that's not how how i should how

270

you should be a man a man should just take care

271

of a woman these things are outdated blah blah blah i'm

272

like okay bye that's it this is how firm i was on my boundaries

273

liz a couple years ago liz did not care

274

if you opened the door for her

275

or not like liz would do everything by herself i won't

276

now you don't open the door i'm not coming with you

277

that's it do not laugh at jokes at your own expense okay

278

so we um when i was in school

279

and stuff right i used to be severely bullied

280

and i thought i had friends no these these people were

281

just laughing at me completely they were making jokes at me

282

they were like literally physically tossing me around i was like

283

the i was like the punch back you know why i had zero boundaries

284

and i would just laugh with them at myself

285

because i was like oh don't take yourself

286

so seriously no no no take yourself seriously

287

and make sure nobody ever ever laughs at you it's not funny it's not funny

288

and you know what they're gonna say oh you're

289

so uptight you can't take a joke yeah exactly don't take a joke don't

290

because what they will do is you start to take a joke like they're like haha you're

291

so dumb you're like haha yes yes whatever

292

and then next time they're like yeah you're so stupid

293

and you know what little by little you're gonna see that these people start to mean what they're saying

294

and it's not a joke anymore they really think of you like

295

that so from the beginning when somebody even jokes to you like oh you're

296

so dumb why did you say

297

that please please elaborate why did you call me dumb you

298

know what i love love love love love love this is

299

my new thing in life the new mentality the bimbo mentality

300

oh i love it literally whenever somebody makes a rude joke

301

or anything towards you ask them to explain it literally say like say like

302

so if they're like oh yeah haha um you're yeah you're

303

so dumb say like huh why why am i dumb don't let anybody ever ever laugh at you like

304

that never it's it's literally showing them you can disrespect me

305

and i'll i'll left with you no it's not funny what is funny is it funny you think you are done

306

honey then how can i help you this is an unpopular opinion

307

and people probably gonna be like oh what are you saying

308

this is this is really not good selfish people win at

309

the end of the day the selfish ones win put yourself always first think about your own needs first

310

and then everybody else Because who do you have at the end of the day?

311

You have yourself.

312

If you're gonna put everybody constantly in front of you, then what are you doing really?

313

What is happening to you?

314

Who are you?

315

Are you even valuable to yourself?

316

How do you want to be valuable to other people if you don't even value yourself?

317

How are you trying to be confident

318

but you're constantly telling like okay i don't want to go here but she really wants me to come

319

so you're saying like what i want is not important what she wants is more important so i'll go

320

no honey stay home decide that what you want is more important than what somebody else wants

321

what is best for you what is best for you people

322

that will start getting angry at you for putting yourself first are the people

323

that benefit from you putting yourself last

324

and that's it nobody else will get angry at you for

325

that know who you are

326

if you know who you are nobody else can tell you anything

327

because you know why you behave the way you behave you know why you say the things

328

that you do and you know yourself

329

if you know a job very well you'll do

330

that job with confidence

331

because you know the job it's the same with you that's

332

why I am trying to improve on my traumas I'm trying

333

to learn about my traumas I'm trying to learn about my character

334

because that way I can become more confident because

335

if somebody tells me oh you did this to me why did you do

336

that I know why I did that and I know myself

337

and that makes me confident in whatever I do and

338

that makes me confident in my decisions in life

339

so it's very important to know yourself

340

so how do you get to know yourself okay

341

so for me I always spend a lot of time with myself

342

and alone a lot of time like a lot of time

343

so I really started to enjoy my own company I start to I know how I am I know

344

what kind of things I enjoy.

345

I know what I don't like and I know how I want to be treated

346

and how I don't want to be treated.

347

I know why I react the way I react and now with my healing that I'm going through,

348

I also start to understand what my behavior means and why I am the way that I am.

349

So that's what I'm saying, like start journaling.

350

Start asking yourself questions like, what do I enjoy what do you love what at the end of the day

351

if you really think about it how do you know

352

if i'm confident

353

or not i can be faking this for all i know like literally i can just be walking around

354

and being acting like i'm confident

355

but i'm just the most insecure human being ever how will you ever know you will never know

356

if i'm really confident or not

357

so why not just start acting like you are start acting like you are confident even

358

if you're not nobody knows nobody knows

359

if i walk around like this and just like oh yeah

360

and just like start talking like very confidently who is going to know

361

that i'm not who is praise yourself every single time you

362

look in the mirror don't crave compliments from other people give

363

yourself those compliments honey you look in the mirror say oh

364

wow you look amazing today say um whatever you're going for

365

a meeting say you know what you are gonna kill this

366

meeting tell yourself those things i swear it makes you feel better it makes you feel

367

so much better like this i do this every single morning it just puts you in such a better mood

368

369

370

and you're still standing yes girl yes boy yes yes yes applaud yourself for your accomplishments acknowledge yourself love yourself hug yourself

371

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
