Shadowing Practice: Never React, Never Explain, Just Ignore - Learn English Speaking with Video

1
You can read all of the books, listen to all of the podcast episodes,
2
and still find yourself being triggered by the same things and the same people over and over again.
3
And it's not because you're not trying hard enough or because you're down or because there's something wrong with you.
4
It's because you're trying to control your reactions instead of actually understanding your reactions.
5
Because your reactions don't come from the present moment.
6
They come from the past that hasn't fully been processed or healed yet.
7
And until you really understand that, you'll keep repeating the same emotional patterns in your life, but in different situations.
8
And so today, we're going to go deeper into what it actually means to become somebody who actually doesn't react to anything.
9
So let's dive into it.
10
To start off, I want to talk about something that I think a lot of people really misunderstand.
11
Being triggered by somebody or something is not the problem think about
12
that for a second being triggered is not the problem being triggered is the signal
13
that you need to pay attention to it's not something to
14
be ashamed of it's something to be curious about to look at
15
and start to question when you are triggered because
16
if you just start to guilt yourself
17
and shame yourself for being triggered you learn nothing but
18
if you start to get curious around why you're getting triggered
19
now you really start to understand who you are in what's going on behind the scenes.
20
Because every time you get triggered, you're being shown a part of yourself that is still sensitive, that is still reactive, that is still holding on to something,
21
that is still not healed from the past.
22
And most people's instinct whenever they're triggered is to look outward and ask themselves questions.
23
Why would they say that to me?
24
Why would they do that to me?
25
What did I do to them to make them react that way?
26
And they're looking outward.
27
But what you need to do is look inward whenever you're triggered.
28
The deeper question here is, why did that affect me so deeply in the way that it did?
29
Why did that affect me so deeply in the way that it did?
30
And I am now taking responsibility for being triggered.
31
The way I like to look at being triggered is this.
32
It's kind of like salt on a wound, right?
33
If the wound is healed, the salt doesn't do anything.
34
It doesn't hurt.
35
But if the wound has not healed, it hurts like hell.
36
That's the best analogy that I can think of.
37
So whenever you're triggered, the triggering is like the salt.
38
If you get triggered on just normal skin that's healed over, no big deal.
39
But if you put salt on top of a wound, it's going to hurt like hell.
40
That is the universal way of life coming to you and saying, hey, you haven't healed here yet.
41
You need to start working on yourself in this particular area.
42
So it's not about them.
43
It's not about what happened.
44
And it's not about the circumstances.
45
It's about why did it affect me in that way and how do I need to heal myself?
46
See, because most people don't really look at it through this way.
47
They don't really understand something that's really important is that when you're looking at something that's happened to you, every moment of your life,
48
your mind is giving meaning to everything that's happening around you.
49
Your brain is a meaning -making machine.
50
It's doing it all day long.
51
It's giving meaning to this and that and this person and what they said and what they're going to do.
52
And that meaning is what creates your emotional response.
53
The meaning that you're giving a situation or a circumstance is what creates your emotional response.
54
And we will be right back.
55
Hey, if you're still watching this video, you're the type of person who wants to learn and grow and improve yourself.
56
Do me a favor, check below and see if you have subscribed to this channel.
57
If you have not, do me a favor, hit that subscribe button so that you and I can go on this journey of self -improvement and making your life better.
58
So if you had subscribed to me, I would appreciate it.
59
And now, back to the show.
60
And so when someone says something and you feel triggered, it's not their words that are actually triggering you.
61
It's the meaning your mind is attaching to those words.
62
And that meaning is shaped by your past, shaped by your experiences, your identity, who you think you are, your wounds.
63
You know, like a simple example is this for instance, if somebody cuts you off on the road and there's no reaction,
64
well then there's no reaction.
65
But if somebody else gets cut off on the road and they blow up because of it, it's the same circumstance, but it's different meaning attached to being cut off.
66
It's not because of the event, but because the person who is triggered is giving meaning to that event.
67
And it's something like, oh, that person doesn't care about me, or they think that they're more important than I am or they aren't worried about my safety at all.
68
So it's not the event, it's that your mind has attached some sort of meaning to
69
that event and now you're reacting to the meaning not the actual situation.
70
Whatever it is, there's a negative meaning that you're attaching to it in that situation.
71
So we need to learn how to get to a point of not being reactive.
72
And when I talk about like not reacting and not being reactive, I'm not talking about like becoming an emotionless statue.
73
It doesn't mean that I feel nothing.
74
That's not what I'm trying to say here.
75
What I'm talking about is becoming aware of what's going on inside of me before I react to anything.
76
It is extreme self -awareness.
77
I'm talking about creating space within yourself.
78
Because right now, for most people, something happens and the reaction is just instant and there's no space.
79
There's no awareness that's in that space.
80
It's just an automatic response that you've been dealing with for 25 years.
81
But the psychologist Viktor Frankl says that growth happens in the tiny space between stimulus and response,
82
between something happening and us actually responding.
83
And in that tiny space, if we become aware of what's happening within ourselves,
84
we can choose how we want to respond versus just responding in a pattern in a way
85
that we have our entire life or something that we learned from our parents.
86
So between something happening to you and you actually responding,
87
there's a moment where you can decide how you want to respond without being swept away by old emotions
88
or old stories or old meanings.
89
And so when I'm saying try to work towards never reacting, I don't mean don't feel.
90
I don't mean don't have emotions.
91
I mean don't let the feelings control you.
92
You can have feelings and not be controlled by feelings.
93
Now that's, I understand, very foreign to a lot of people because for me, for a long time when I was I was just controlled by my emotions.
94
I felt like I was just not in the driver's seat.
95
But it's not about not feeling.
96
It's about don't let your feelings control you.
97
You are experiencing feeling.
98
You can decide how you react.
99
You can notice it.
100
You can sit with it for a minute.
101
Start to get curious about it.
102
Understand it.
103
Man, why do I feel this way?
104
Like what's going on in my head?
105
Why do I always get mad when this happens?
106
What meaning am I giving this situation?
107
What does this situation remind me of in my past that's not healed yet?
108
And that is where your true growth will actually lie.
109
When you actually start to get really curious about your emotions
110
and your feelings and your reactions and why you are triggered the way
111
that you're triggered and the meaning that you're attaching to situations.
112
Because your emotions are not problems that you need to fix.
113
They're signals that you need to listen to.
114
They're pointing you in a direction.
115
Stop ignoring where they're trying to point you.
116
And so you have to start to think that this also has to deal with the way other people interact with you.
117
So it's like, we need to understand about ourself, but it's also very important when we understand this about ourself, this is also happening inside of every other person around you.
118
Like I always say, hey, when you see a male, like a 40 -year -old man who's just an asshole to everybody, right?
119
What you're seeing, or he's having a breakdown or he's yelling at somebody, what you're seeing is a 40 -year -old body that happens to have a little child still in it.
120
So it's a child that is still hurting and wounding in an adult's body.
121
So, and the reason why you can understand this is because people don't see you as you are.
122
Like, I really want you to understand this people don't see you as you are.
123
They see you as they are through their beliefs, through their past, through their wounds, through their conditionings, through their patterns,
124
through what they learned from their parents unconsciously.
125
So no matter how clearly you explain yourself,
126
people will still misunderstand you because people can only understand from the level of their perception
127
and sometimes people just aren't going to be able to understand you
128
and it's not because there's something wrong with you and it's not
129
because you failed in explaining yourself but sometimes it's just
130
because they're filtering you through their own lens of conditioning over their entire life
131
so what i mean by that is like if you need to set boundaries with somebody
132
your boundaries might feel like rejection to somebody who has abandonment wounds
133
doesn't mean that your boundaries are bad it just means that they haven't healed that aspect of themself.
134
If you are a confident person and somebody reacts to it, your confidence might feel like arrogance to someone who's extremely insecure.
135
If you're an honest person and you don't like to beat around the bush, your honesty might feel like an attack to someone who avoids truth.
136
It's the same you, but it's just a different lens.
137
And this is where most people get stuck because most people, have other people react to them and they think, well, I need to change myself.
138
And they're trying to change themselves or they're trying to fix the other person's perception.
139
So they will try to explain themselves more to be accepted, or they will soften themselves more for the other person.
140
They will shrink more for the other person.
141
But understanding this is really important because you understand that it's not just about how you communicate and who you are.
142
It's also about how somebody is able to receive you.
143
And it's really important to understand this
144
because as you start to work on yourself
145
and you become more confident in yourself and you become more confident in who you're becoming, it might trigger other people.
146
It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.
147
It can mean that there's something wrong with that person's perception based off of their past.
148
They might not be able to perceive you at a different level.
149
So some people can only meet you at the level that they're at themselves, right?
150
So if they don't respond to you in the way that you want them to respond to you, they might be triggered by you in some sort of way.
151
They might be protecting their own wounds and you don't realize it.
152
If you're not careful, you will accidentally change yourself in order to meet other people's expectations of you.
153
You'll start to carry labels that were never yours in the first place.
154
Like, oh, you know what?
155
Maybe I am too much.
156
Or, you know, maybe I am selfish.
157
Or maybe I am hard to love.
158
That's really challenging, right?
159
Or maybe someone just can't clearly understand you
160
because they're just not able to understand you with the level that they're at in their life right now.
161
And, you know, obviously I want to kind of walk this line very carefully
162
because it doesn't mean that you ignore all feedback from other people.
163
It means that you become clear so that you can learn the difference, right?
164
Feedback from another person looks like, hey, this is how your behavior impacted me.
165
Somebody projecting their own crap on top of you is like, hey, this is who I've decided who you are, right?
166
There's a big difference between those two things.
167
You cannot explain yourself into clarity with someone that's committed to misunderstanding you.
168
And so at some point, your piece might look like, hey, I know who I am, even if that person doesn't know who I am, because their lens is not your identity.
169
Don't ever take on what somebody else says about you because that means that they're filtering you through their lens.
170
I'd rather make up my own identity of who I think I am
171
and who I am versus looking to other people to tell me who I am
172
when I know that their filter is already clouded, right?
173
So the right people, the grounded people, the self -aware ones, they don't need you to change yourself.
174
They don't need you to shrink so that they can understand you.
175
They will see you clearly because they're already looking through clarity, not through clouded lenses.
176
And that's the shift that you really need to understand is you won't fit everyone's lens and everyone's perception.
177
And everybody's lens is not about the truth about you anyways.
178
And so really what you start to become peaceful with is to accept yourself as you truly are.
179
Once you go on this journey of self -discovery, you start healing these wounds and coming in contact with who you truly are and starting to work through your triggers,
180
peace comes when you start to really figure out who you are
181
and you accept it and you stop fighting against it and you stop trying to control everything around you.
182
And you're just okay with who you are.
183
You don't need to be accepted by other people.
184
And when you're truly okay with yourself, you don't need everyone to accept you.
185
That's the key.
186
Like what really matters to everybody listening to this podcast, what really matters more than almost anything else is not about, do other people accept you?
187
It's, do you accept you?
188
Because if you accept you, it doesn't matter if other people accept you because you fully, 100 % already accept yourself.
189
To accept yourself and to love yourself
190
and to truly know yourself might be the highest form of enlightenment that we could all get to.
191
And so the deepest truth of all of this, of being triggered, of going on this journey of self -discovery is understanding
192
that healing is not when life stops triggering you because you'll always be triggered.
193
We're probably not going to become a monk and get fully enlightened in this, you know, this life that we're in right now.
194
But you, you realize that you may never get to the point where you're not triggered, but real healing is not, not being triggered.
195
It's when your reaction to those triggers changes.
196
Like the same situation that used to ruin your entire day, you now just passes through and you don't even notice it.
197
The same comment that used to hit a nerve and make you feel like less than barely even lands anymore.
198
Like that is the proof as real as it can be
199
that you're healing and that you're growing and that you're becoming better and that you're developing a deeper relationship with yourself.
200
that's what we all should be working towards.
201
And that's how you really know that you've grown.
202
Not because life got easier in any way, but because you became more grounded within yourself.
203
And this is what I love about Stoicism.
204
Like the Stoics really understood this deeply.
205
Like they didn't try to control the world.
206
They worked on themselves.
207
They focused on what was within their control, their thoughts, their responses, their inner state.
208
And I think that's one of the reasons why Stoic philosophy
209
is making such a big comeback in the past five to 10 years is
210
because there's so much truth to it and so many people resonate with it.
211
To become more stoic in everything that we do requires us to keep working on ourselves.
212
We can't control most of the circumstances in our life, but we can't control how we react to the circumstances in our life.
213
And that's what we should be trying to master.
214
That's pretty much the only thing that we can really control because the world is always gonna be unpredictable.
215
People will always say things, situations will always happen, but your peace, that's something that you can build.
216
That's something that you're in control of.
217
That's something that you can get more of.
218
And when you get to a place of peace, your calm doesn't have to be something that you're forcing.
219
It's just something that you are, something that other people feel by being around you.
220
And so I want you to remember this.
221
The goal is not to stop reacting completely.
222
The goal is to heal the part of you that feels like you need to react.
223

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.
