1
I have to go to work tomorrow.
2
I gotta do all my laundry again.
3
What am I gonna eat this week?
4
Damn, I gotta pay rent again.
5
My butt low-key looks like it's getting smaller.
6
I really need to make more money.
7
I wonder if I could get into a drake party.
8
Oh, I gotta wake up early and charge my money.
9
Does he just want to fight my meeting all day?
10
I don't know if I'm gonna fight my meeting all day.
11
I'm gonna fight my wedding.
12
It really is cheating.
13
I am so tired.
14
Life is really burning me out.
15
It feels like there isn't enough time or energy to do all the things I need to do, and taking a break makes me scared that I'm going to be stuck in this version of my life forever.
16
So I've combined a morning where I still move towards my goal, but also take care of myself when I'm feeling tired.
17
I use a habit tracker
18
so I don't have the pressure of remembering everything all the time and start my morning with a meditation.
19
When you're in survival mode, your brain is constantly worried about the next thing, So I try to give it a couple minutes a piece every single day.
20
After I've had a few minutes to myself when I wake up, I get right into my morning routine because I think self-care is the highest form of not only self-love, but discipline.
21
I also believe that when you look good, you feel good.
22
And the last thing I need is to look in that mirror and feel even worse, okay?
23
Maybe I'm dramatic, but I kind of feel like coming home after a long
24
day of work to a nice made bed is kind of like a sweet gesture to yourself.
25
Also, I can't function when my space is dirty, so I make my bed every morning.
26
I get some light going in my dungeon of darkness and despair, and to be honest, I'm a little bit of a woo-woo lady.
27
Like, I'm really big on energy and what I take in.
28
So my favorite new thing in my mornings over the past year has been listening to jazz music
29
because your morning really does set the tone for the rest of your day.
30
Because I live alone, I've always kind of eaten for convenience because I'm lazy,
31
it's expensive, and so much of it goes to waste when you live by yourself.
32
But I'm trying to be a lot more intentional
33
because I am juggling so much and I need energy and the energy comes from how I'm taking care of myself.
34
So I start my mornings with a warm cup of water
35
and lemon or bone broth on an empty stomach because I also want glass skin and discipline.
36
When it's not a work week, I try to keep my mornings as slow as possible.
37
So I sip on my drink, watch some TV, browse on my phone, even though I do try to keep my phone usage to a minimum until around eight
38
or nine o'clock and just have some time to myself.
39
After I have my little at-home jazz cafe downtime, I like to go in with my supplements because I think they work best on an empty stomach.
40
I try to keep my morning supplements to a minimum
41
because my doctor told me most of them honestly don't even make a difference.
42
So right now, I just do Symbiotica's Glutathione, which is supposed to be really good for your skin, and the Seltara, which is similar to CMOS.
43
It's for gut health.
44
Honestly, I think this might be purging me and breaking me out.
45
Either that, or I'm just ugly and it don't work.
46
I don't like breakfast, but I know I need it, so then I move on to eating my breakfast.
47
And no, Popeyes is not a part of that discipline I just told you I had, but it's the journey.
48
I'm here for progress, not perfection.
49
And we bounced back this morning by having the overnight oats that I made the night before.
50
I got this recipe from a girl on TikTok and honestly, as someone who does not like breakfast like that, but needs to eat and stay fueled to do all the ghetto things I gotta do,
51
this has been one of my favorite breakfasts.
52
As you guys saw earlier, I live in a little dungeon and for me, going on walks is one of my favorite things for my mental health
53
and was something I started when I was still working from home.
54
It's been beautiful out.
55
It has been so hot.
56
So I decided to grab my journals, go for a walk, and spend some time journaling outside.
57
Then I put on my favorite playlist full of music that I find to be inspiring and motivating without feeling corny,
58
and I can't say enough what being intentional about what I'm consuming when it comes to music has done for me.
59
I brought two journals with me on this walk
60
and one is a dig deeper journal
61
that has prompts on every page with questions for you to reflect on
62
and of course I just brought my regular journal
63
because I feel like I've been in such a negative mindset lately
64
and so consumed by my problems that I forget to be grateful for all the great things I do have.
65
I spent the rest of my morning here journaling and reflecting
66
which for me has become a must in my routine to free up some space in my mind
67
and help keep my head above water.
68
Through this journey, I'm learning that the change I've always wanted to see for myself started with myself
69
and started with making the choices I thought were the smallest.
70
I think I had to go through this time in my life to become the version of myself
71
that can hold the life I want, which is a girl who fights back when a bee tries to take her life.
72
And did y'all see he doubles back?
73
That's crazy.
74
After that, it's hot.
75
I'm irritated.
76
Kumbaya.
77
I'm going home.
78
See y'all next week.

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.
