Shadowing Practice: 🌙Soft night routine tips | calm, feminine habits | regulate your nervous system before sleeping - Learn English Speaking with Video

if you drink coke zero in a wine glass we can be friends so hello my loves

and welcome back to my channel what are we going to

talk about today we're going to talk about night rituals

so the perfect night routine to make you feel relaxed regulated

expensive to make you have the best sleep of your life and this video is the perfect occasion to

zero in a wine glass why

because you need to romanticize your routine make your everyday feel

special to make the little moments special you cannot just wait

for life to happen you have to make the little changes the little switches

that will make your everyday life feel like a ritual

and that's exactly what we're going to talk about today now

the absolute perfect recipe for the perfect night routine is one

that regulates the nervous system that makes you have a good eight

expensive and especially one that makes your morning easier in fact

if you missed it make sure to go watch part one

where i talk about how to make your morning routine feel like a ritual

and on here i already mentioned my routine a little bit

but since you guys love that video

so much i thought about making a longer version as well as always

if you're new here welcome my name is Mirella

and on here we talk about all things self -care class

and self -growth and

if you want to connect with me in the description you will find all of my information and my other

straight into my eight step night routine so first things first i already said

that the perfect night routine should make you feel regulated

and relaxed and you simply cannot do that in a messy environment

so am i saying

that you have to clean the whole house before going to sleep absolutely not

but at least try to do some smaller things

that will reset your environment so it's one of the biggest gifts

that you can do to your future self meaning the version of you that wakes up in the morning

to a clean, organized space.

So what can we do?

First of all, especially if you're a woman, maybe try to avoid too much visual clatters.

There are literally scientific studies on this, that we don't operate well with too much clutter.

When your room is messy, when your house is messy, you will feel messy too.

We don't want that.

We don't want all the brain fog.

We don't want to be irritated.

We want to be relaxed.

We want to wake up in a nice, clean environment.

So I know that at night you're tired.

Maybe you worked all day, you studied all day, whatever.

So I'm not One example is after eating, always put the dishes away.

Don't wait until the morning please.

I know that a lot of people do that, but please don't do it.

It's just going to make you wake up stressed, which is something we definitely want to avoid.

Maybe clean the kitchen a little bit.

It just literally takes one second.

Lay out the clothes for the next day.

Make it a habit.

Just have those 15 minutes of reset.

You really don't have to aim for perfection, but you deserve to wake up in a place that supports you.

And also that will definitely impact your night routine as well.

Okay, next point.

The blue, big, white hospital lights should not exist in your home.

Those are just for cleaning.

After 5 p .m., you only want to light up the warm, soft lights.

Your environment should tell your body that it's safe to relax.

And if you constantly keep the cold white lights on, you will literally disrupt your sleep as well.

Warm lights also encourage melatonin production.

It's not only a matter of creating ambience, of feeling relaxed.

It's also a way to sleep better, even if you don't realize it.

And also, again, just make your everyday life feel a little bit more special.

You don't want to spend your night feeling like you're in a hospital.

your ambience nicer I said this so many times

but a part of creating a calm ambience could also be not only let up candles

but also maybe putting on some jazz music

or some relaxing music put it on something calm

because listen your body is literally not a machine

so you expect it to go from awake productive to sleep forward immediately that's just not gonna happen

if you don't create a relaxing ambience it's also gonna be

so much harder for you to fall asleep it's gonna disrupt your sleep you're gonna wake up at night

and it's something that you can fix with just one simple switch

so just start doing it let me know how it goes

okay one of my favorite part of my night routine is

definitely my beauty routine my beauty rituals i want you to take those 15 minutes for yourself it doesn't matter

if you have kids it doesn't matter

if you have a lot of things to think about it

doesn't matter how tired you are i want you especially

if you're a busy person i want you to take 15 minutes for yourself there's this quote from joseph spencer

that it's about meditation but i feel like you can apply to this too to anything and taking care of yourself.

where he says something like you're so busy

that you don't even have 10 minutes to meditate throughout your

day then you should meditate for one hour this is the exact same i don't care

if you don't have time especially

if you don't have time you should take care of yourself especially

if you're so busy you have

so many things to think about take those moments for yourself

take the time for some rituals also not just about skincare

it's not just about putting some creams in your face

and going to sleep something i like to do sometimes is just to put on some meditation music

frequencies put on the creamiest vanilla body lotion do some hair oiling put on the lip mask also i have

so many products i love so let me know

if you want a product recommendation video

because i could literally talk for hours about this for me

beauty rituals are much more than just a routine again it's not just about putting some cream in your face

when you don't even take 10, even 5 minutes for yourself.

What you're telling yourself is: "I prioritize every single person in my life, I prioritize my boss, maybe your work,

100

but I don't even value enough to take 5 minutes for myself every single night." And also have some boundaries.

101

If your family is stressing you out, close the door or do it in your room or

102

if you have kids or a husband for example I always tell my boyfriend I Need those 10 minutes for myself.

103

It cannot enter the bathroom.

104

Just take

105

that time just take for you you need to prioritize yourself next point is such a crucial one

106

and it is about planning i'm a crazy type a person

107

and every single night four years now i've been planning the

108

day after without missing a day again it's all about making your life easier

109

so before going to sleep every single night i take my ipad

110

or even my phone

111

if i'm too tired to even take my ipad i write

112

a to -do list of everything i have to do maybe it's studying, doing this, doing that, going to the post office, walking the dog, whatever, hanging out with a friend.

113

Actually, you should schedule the fun time because that means that when you're there, you don't have to think of all the other things you have to do.

114

You one, two, three hours, whatever, your mind is clear.

115

If nothing else to think about, everything else is already taken care of, or at least you know that they have their time slot.

116

So you don't have to worry about anything.

117

You only worry when you procrastinate.

118

So again, the night routine, I think I've said this like 10 times in this video, but your night routine, a successful night routine should make your morning easier, should make your morning better.

119

So again, I start by writing my to -do list and then I literally go and write the time slots.

120

single hour with something I have to do so that I'm sure

121

that I have time for everything I don't have to stress for anything and

122

when I wake up in the morning my day is already

123

planned for it's already organized I don't have to stress about a thing

124

while on the other end if you wake up every single morning

125

and you think that you have to plan the whole day you're gonna be stressed especially

126

if you have to hurry up to go to school

127

or to the gym or go to work whatever you do in the morning sometimes

128

when I really want to put a lot of effort into it I also plan my meals and that makes my

129

options I told you I'm a type a person I'm very organized

130

but sometimes I'm like maybe I'm not gonna create this tomorrow

131

so I just gave myself options I remember what I have

132

in the fridge I just make myself a little meal plan

133

so again plan a lot it's gonna make your life

134

so much easier it's gonna make your morning stress -free especially

135

if you're the kind of person that goes to sleep thinking of all the things

136

that they have to do the day after this is gonna

137

help you a lot now the next point is something I already mentioned in my other video

138

but I'm gonna mention it again because

139

because I never do it and I always forget it

140

and then I feel sick this has nothing to do with diet culture

141

so I'm not here promoting eating less none of that but the point is

142

eat lightly before going to sleep

143

or at least stop eating many hours before going to sleep

144

and don't immediately get into bed now every single time as an italian i have pizza for dinner

145

and yes here we eat the whole pizza that's how we do it i don't digest it

146

and i just have the worst sleep of my life i just have nightmares

147

and that just happens all the time

148

and i just never learn in fact the next point will be the solution for this But for now, when you can, try to avoid having too much heavy dinners.

149

I like having soups or something light, something that makes you have a good night's sleep.

150

Because trust me, you're not going to feel much energized if you do that every single night.

151

If the goal is to feel good and energized, try having a lighter dinner.

152

And slash or my favorite thing to do is definitely to have some evening movement.

153

When I'm back in my family home, I have a dog.

154

So it's not like I have a choice.

155

I don't have to walk him at night.

156

We used to have a big house with a big garden.

157

So we didn't really have this problem at night.

158

into an apartment so we don't have the garden anymore and

159

so guess what when I come back home I have to walk the dog however

160

while it was something that in the beginning was so hard

161

because I didn't want to get dressed up after dinner it has really become the best ritual

162

and one of the things

163

that I look the most forward to during my day not only helps a lot

164

when I eat pizza literally I don't think I've ever had a bad night's sleep

165

when I'm back home so this probably helps a lot

166

but it's also just a moment for myself I just walk the dog with the sun setting and I

167

podcast so this is to say

168

that having some night movement can also be a rejoiner routine can also become something special

169

and not only

170

that it will also make you digest better lower your stress it will make you feel more relaxed

171

and it's also a nice way to get some steps in especially

172

if you're very busy throughout your day

173

or sitting at a desk all day another thing i really like to do

174

when it comes to evening movement is definitely some stretching or yoga going back to digesting better

175

have classes on that so

176

that helps as well another thing I've been doing every single night for years

177

and years something like seven eight years now is drinking a chamomile tea every single night before going to sleep

178

and this point is actually not just about tea

179

but it's about all these little extras that you can add to your routine that will make you feel more relaxed Again,

180

this includes chamomile tea, but it also includes supplements like ashwagandha or melatonin.

181

Also magnesium.

182

Another thing I've talked about so many times is sleep serums and sleep masks, sleep creams.

183

I actually do have a few.

184

They were pretty much next to me.

185

I also have the pillow spray, but it was just too far, so I didn't reach for it.

186

But this is a relaxing hand mask from Rituals.

187

This is the Ritual of Jing line.

188

And this whole line is literally my lifesaver.

189

This slip serum, first of all, has an amazing scent.

190

It smells a little bit like mint.

191

It's something fresh.

192

But also, I have absolutely no idea how this works.

193

life again not sponsored i have no idea how this works

194

but this literally makes me have the best sleep of my life

195

and this is what this point is all about

196

so adding on all this little tiny extras will make you

197

feel a little bit more expensive will make your routine feel a little bit more special

198

and it will definitely impact your night for the better now going on to my last point is something

199

that i feel like everyone tells you but if they tell you this it's because it works it is of this

200

but just avoid the blue lights avoid the screen before going

201

to sleep something i like to do is using my projector

202

and watching a very calm relaxing movie

203

or series on there sometimes i literally watch disney movies

204

or i watch modern family something very light something that's not

205

gonna give me anxiety before going to sleep i do like some active series

206

but i don't watch them at night

207

because again the goal is to be relaxed is to rest so you don't want to stress yourself out

208

to avoid the blue light in general and it's much softer

209

and lighter on the eye another thing you can do is

210

just start reading i used to have such a good reading habit every single night i would read

211

and i would literally fall asleep reading because it's so true

212

when they tell you that reading a book makes you sleep

213

that is so true first of all because it reduces all the stimulation

214

that you get from your phone

215

and it just helps you focus on one single thing

216

and i literally feel like it makes your eye tired i don't really know what's the science behind it

217

but it just works also i

218

also makes me go to sleep inspired

219

and much happier in general my favorite author is definitely joe dispensa

220

when it comes to these spiritual books

221

so we are at the end of today's video i really hope

222

that you loved it i hope

223

that you learned something as always make sure to like it

224

and subscribe if you want to connect with me in the description you'll find all of my information

225

and my other socials and also make sure to leave a comment

226

because i always read them

227

and i always try to respond to every single one i really hope

228

that after this you're gonna have the best sleep of and I'll see you next week with a brand new video!

229

Bye -bye.

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.
