Shadowing Practice: Time to get confident baby - Learn English Speaking with Video

2023 is about to come

and we are gonna get confident right now right here hi guys my name is this

and welcome back to my channel let's get right into it

first things first i want you to create a would you

buy it mentality what do i mean by this would you buy it mentality is basically

when you are a business owner and you're selling a product

or you're selling a service that product and service has to be

so good to you right that you would even buy it yourself

because if you would buy it yourself you can sell

that thing with conviction and people are much more likely to buy it

and actually feel some authenticity in what you're selling to you to create this mentality about yourself look at yourself

and think like would i date myself yeah

because at the end of the day if we really become comfortable with ourselves

if we really work on ourselves if we become self -aware about our pros

and cons we can become a person that is attractive to ourselves

and other people will be attracted to that when you would date yourself

when you can literally look at yourself

and be like i would date myself i literally think

that i'm an amazing human being other people will feel the same way focus on what you can control

so your self -talk your words how you talk about yourself

how you talk about other people your attitude towards life is it oh no i'm the victim

or you know what i'm gonna fix this i do not

see problems i see solution look at on social media are you looking at things

that make you insecure and that make you compare yourself

or are you looking at things

that can educate you where you can learn new skills the people

that lift you up make you feel more positive foods you eat what you put inside of your body um

if you constantly eat fast food processed foods that make you feel sluggish

and bad about yourself or

if you actually want to put good nutrients inside of your body

because you care about this vessel your boundaries how firm are

you on them how how do you allow people to treat

you are you serious about them you can have boundaries

but not be serious about them

if you say for example right this is my boundary i do not like it

when you do this to me but then that person does

that and you just allow them to do it then okay you're not serious about your boundaries so

that person is also not going to be serious about your

boundaries do not focus on things you cannot control like um

your past your past doesn't exist the past is literally not

there it's only a thought in your head it does not

exist that's it um your future you also don't control your

future we do not know what is going to happen we

can try our best to make it the best possible outcome

but at the end of the day we do not know

what is going to happen other people's beliefs other people's opinions

who cares literally who cares about them like it's about you you are the main character of your life

so start acting like it other people say

or think about you you know my mom she said this to me uh there was a saying

and she said liz you can go live flat on the ground for people to walk all over you

and those people will start complaining

that you're not flat enough it's true people you cannot control

them not their beliefs not their thinking not it's none of

your business what other people think about you is none of

your business confidence is about knowing who you are right um

if you do not know who you are

or how to define yourself focus on who you are not i for example i know

that i am not a eventual person

so i'm i'm the opposite like i forgive i do not forget

but i forgive people i know that i'm not a lazy person i know

that if i want something i will work for it i'll have the discipline to work for it

and actually get what i want so

that i'm not an uneducated person i like educating myself i

like learning new skills i like listening to other people's opinions

and other people's beliefs i like always making my mind bigger

and bigger and more open to new things take a paper and Write down, who am I not?

And that way you can become more self -aware of yourself.

What you can also do is go on Pinterest and look up shadow work questions.

Shadow work is basically trying to figure out who you are and it relates to childhood.

You'll see all these questions pop up.

Write them down and answer the questions for yourself.

So you can create that connection with yourself.

Create routines see why school why we are in school is

so amazing is

because we have a routine we wake up at a certain

time we have to go to school then in school we have this left then we have a break whatever

and it's a whole routine our lives are based on routines

but then when we get out of school we're left out

and like adulthood and we don't know what to do

so now it's for us to decide what do we do

but in order to make your life more structured you need to create new routines for yourself.

For example, I wake up, I like to go to yoga.

i like to go walk around

and i like to do a gratitude meditation i like to do my skincare i like to shower myself

that is routine for me

and then i also have a nighttime nighttime routine before i go to bed right

so i have routines immediately when i wake up

because it sets me up for a really organized day obviously

you won't feel like doing this every single day i have days where i don't follow my routines

or something happens you can never predict things um this is okay right

but i have the basis of what my routine is so even

if i don't feel like it i can kind know what i'm going to do the next day

because i have a base routine it's your money up not your funny up listen

if you are out of a job right now just go

find a job anywhere anything literally the one thing i have always done in my life is i have worked

because i wanted money i do not feel confident in myself

if i don't have money

because uh i like i can't i can't even go out

with my friends i'm not the kind of person i i will allow my friends just to pay for me

100

and stuff no i will stay home literally if i have no money

101

because i do not want to go out

102

and then i'm constantly paying for me um

103

so i i see confidence in my successes i see confidence in um the fact

104

that i have job i have money it doesn't matter what

105

kind of job you have okay it doesn't have to be

106

your career job whatever something to make your money i literally cleaned toilets

107

when i was 12 i would literally buy like waffles in a whole pack right

108

and i would sell like one waffle door to door i would like decorate it

109

and i would sell it door to door for like hours

110

and hours on end like knocking on every single door

111

and i would make money

112

that way i would always focus on like trying to create money for myself people with this kind of drive

113

that have always had that they really do become successful

114

because they do not care about oh it's an embarrassing job

115

whatever no i worked even with grown men carrying heavy boxes

116

because that would make me money now at the end of the day

117

when i did accomplish like i am very well accomplished thank god um

118

and i did everything i want i can walk with confidence

119

because i really feel proud of myself and i am confident in myself

120

and in my abilities

121

because i can see liz you can do whatever literally whatever i set my mind to i can accomplish

122

because i have the drive and i have the will

123

and the art of communication communication is one of the biggest

124

reasons people can be confident people can be successful your the way you talk to people is very important

125

because you can leave an imprint on them

126

and you never know who you're talking to it can be a person

127

that can literally change your life overnight because people always focus on the outward

128

and like the physical appearance which is also important i'm not saying that's not important

129

but physical will only get you so far the way you talk to people

130

and the way you make people feel when they talk to you is a big big

131

positive thing and is a thing that will get you

132

so far in life i remember um i was talking to my neighbor once um

133

when i was uh living in the country where i grew up

134

and i was just talking to her i never talked to her before

135

and she literally at the end of my conversation she stopped

136

me she's like liz you should literally do something with communication

137

because the way you talk is insane like literally you should do a career

138

that has something to do with communication and before

139

that like i did at

140

that time i didn't know i wanted to do like i was going to do youtube

141

or things like that you know and i'm like oh okay

142

so my communication is very communication is important in all aspects

143

of life your relationship everyone who has been in a long

144

-term relationship knows it comes all it all comes down to communication

145

if you are not able to communicate correctly with your partner

146

the relationship will also not last family friends everyone bosses every

147

single person around you you should learn how to communicate with people um i have read books about this

148

so one book that helped me is the art of people

149

and the other one is how to win friends

150

and influence people these two books are very good about communication

151

and how can you learn to communicate better literally go out

152

and socialize with people you can learn all the books you want you can get all the knowledge you want

153

but at the end of the day if you do not mingle with people

154

and if you don't don't surround yourself with different types of people

155

and talk to them you cannot put this into practice

156

and you will fail at this so

157

if you talk to different people you will see these people

158

are kind of weird they have weird quirks everyone is kind of different different cultures different mentalities also

159

when you travel a lot you see this um

160

but then you also learn like oh okay with this person i have to be like this

161

because in life we have to be kind of like a chameleon you cannot act the same way with everyone

162

because it will not be received the same way you know people have different cultures different beliefs

163

so what you for example say to a very open -minded person

164

You cannot say it to a very religious person because it will not be received the same way.

165

It's not that you're not being authentic to yourself.

166

No, it's more that there should be certain respect also with other people and their beliefs.

167

When you go out and you talk to lots of people, male, female, you will learn so much.

168

Not only about them, but also about yourself in the way you react to them, in the way you are able to communicate with them.

169

Start wearing glasses and look people in the eyes.

170

And this is a practice.

171

Why? basically I grew up

172

and I was always told to look down always told to look down look down

173

so that was ingrained in my mind I always have to look down now listen

174

if you're in a business setting of your or

175

if you're just talking you will look like so insecure

176

if you're looking down and you are not able to look

177

that person in the eyes it's insane it's like literally a killer

178

so what you need to do start wearing glasses outside make them like I have like really black glasses

179

and i would wear them and i would start looking people in the eyes

180

when they're walking by obviously they cannot see that i'm looking at them so i felt more comfortable

181

um with practicing this i actually started to feel more comfortable

182

to look at people whilst i'm talking whilst i'm in a meeting

183

so um this thing really helped me wear glasses

184

and start looking people in the eye by doing things you find cringe

185

or uncomfortable in public

186

so basically i find it very i used to find it

187

very cringy to like record a tiktok video whilst i'm walking outside of myself

188

or anything and i would be like get ashamed immediately right

189

but i started to be like you know what let's just do it

190

and like you can get red if you want it doesn't matter you continue

191

because that way you are teaching yourself that it's okay this is not something

192

so big and at the end of the day those people do not care they're not looking at you

193

and the more you do that the less things you will have

194

that you will feel uncomfortable about another thing is your body

195

language make sure you like look up look up that's

196

so important shoulders back but it doesn't have to be crazy

197

but make sure you're not walking like this you know slouchy

198

look at this how did this look it doesn't look confident

199

but look how i'm standing like chest up shoulders back

200

and you're you literally talk like this talk with your hands

201

make sure you're not scared to take up the room

202

when you walk somewhere don't constantly look on your phone put

203

your phone away look around start walking with your head up high uh

204

when you enter a room don't look on your phone don't look down

205

when you enter it don't like hide away no open the door

206

and enter the room look around

207

and then say hi can i have a table please i'm

208

so delusional listen i if you could go into my mind

209

and if you could see what i think

210

that i can accomplish for myself you would call me crazy today

211

but the people

212

that called me crazy before for what i for what i

213

have right now are all saying oh wow she actually did it

214

so when you are delusional and you actually believe

215

that what you're trying to do

216

and it has to be a good thing i'm not saying do like bad stuff

217

and become delusional about that no no no a good goal

218

that you want for yourself and you're

219

so delusional about you know what no matter what i'm gonna achieve this you are going to achieve this

220

because it's the energy you're radiating it's what you are manifesting it's what you're telling yourself

221

and our brain is the most powerful thing ever what you

222

believe about yourself will be your reality even the way

223

that you think about yourself can affect other people's reality about you

224

because i have noticed when i am walking out

225

and i look at myself and i'm oh damn i look fine today

226

and i'm really happy about the way i look other people start to compliment me a lot

227

but when i have like a day where i just feel uncomfortable

228

and i don't really feel that good

229

and i just want to be you know in my little shell

230

but i still have to be out i can see the

231

reaction from people is totally different as well literally the way

232

you think about yourself affects other people's reality as well listen to meditations affirmations um

233

that make you feel confident i do this

234

when i am doing my skincare or whatever i have this uh one affirmation uh

235

or meditation whatever that i listen to i really like it i'm gonna put it down below

236

and it's basically like constantly like uh saying like you're beautiful things like

237

that but it it doesn't really matter

238

because you can say like oh no that's toxic positivity no you're training your brain to listen to something constantly

239

and if i am listening to something

240

that says to me constantly i'm beautiful i'm beautiful i'm beautiful listen i'm gonna believe i'm beautiful just

241

because i'm constantly like listening to this it's the same way

242

if i would listen to a meditation or affirmation that says I'm ugly constantly, I would also start to believe that.

243

So, and the brain is wired to believe negativity over positivity.

244

so we ourselves already tell ourselves uh what what is wrong with us constantly

245

so to refresh your brain listen to something

246

that will actually lift you up another thing is

247

when you are walking around put on some music

248

that makes you feel confident

249

or even you wake up in the morning put on some music

250

that makes you feel confident stand in front of the mirror

251

start dancing you know this raises your vibrations as well

252

so instantly you will become more attractive

253

and um also it just makes you feel comfortable with yourself

254

so listen to that even whilst you're walking

255

if i just uh like put on a badass song

256

and i'm walking honey i feel like i literally those streets were made by me literally start making decisions

257

that are best for you a confident person does what is

258

best for them people even like to call them selfish no they're not selfish they always know

259

that their needs have to be put forward first because they know

260

that they are the most important person in their own lives i have like this friend

261

and he's extremely extremely wealthy like really really wealthy

262

and uh one time i was invited for dinner

263

and um there were like a couple other people there

264

and there was like also a producer there

265

and this producer guy was constantly like talking to my friend like oh yeah

266

and and there's this project that lava

267

and like really trying to impress my friend like constantly constantly

268

it went on for 30 minutes i felt bad for this producer

269

so i started to give him like yeah like i am interested

270

because my friend who's not giving any reaction at all like nothing

271

and then after

272

that guy finished talking i swear my friend didn't say a

273

word to him he finished talking this was after 30 minutes he looks at him

274

and he says after 5 p .m i do not talk business

275

and he just continues with his dinner i was so shocked

276

because i was literally like oh my god how powerful was

277

that he does not accept anyone to cross his boundaries

278

and that's also honestly why this person is

279

so successful even in the ways you eat what you choose

280

to put in your body what you choose to watch everything

281

every single time you choose to do something it's a decision you decide what is best for you

282

and you start making those decisions because

283

that way you'll start to trust yourself more

284

if you make the right decisions

285

that way you will also become more confident in yourself envy

286

and comparison is believing

287

that you cannot have it okay listen i have never been a really envious person ever

288

if someone became successful or or someone like had something i would always see

289

that as motivation because i would look at it i was like oh my god yes

290

so i can accomplish that as well

291

if they can do it i can do it as well you know um envy is literally thinking

292

that you cannot do it or you do not deserve it

293

but that is not true you will never miss out on what is meant for you

294

and that is very peaceful if that person has a certain thing at that age

295

that is what was meant for them what you have right now is what was meant for you

296

and you have to create peace with

297

that don't focus on what they have focus on what you have

298

and believe that you can accomplish it believe that you deserve

299

that as well and see it as motivation see confidence is not a certain look right

300

so create an aesthetic for yourself

301

that you feel most comfortable in really look at your style look at who you are

302

and start to look for different aesthetics you can look this on pinterest like different aesthetics whatever

303

and choose the one that is most your vibe for example

304

if you feel more comfortable with a classy aesthetic if you feel more comfortable with um like you know those

305

sporty clothes you feel more comfortable with like baggy style whatever it is

306

that you like as an aesthetic confidence is feeling comfortable in

307

yourself it's you don't have to create this fake aesthetic

308

that you don't feel comfortable in sometimes i myself i don't feel comfortable in dresses

309

or or these things you know so

310

if i don't feel comfortable other people would see it

311

and i look quite insecure because i'm not comfortable in what i'm wearing um

312

but other days i am comfortable so then i do choose that aesthetic

313

so start to think like what is my vibe what is my aesthetic do not force yourself in certain things

314

that you do not like because it will show

315

that you're forcing it and that you're not being authentic to yourself no whatever

316

that is that you like if even

317

if you like to more darker styles like an emo aesthetic that's also

318

so cool if you're confident in that besides all the aesthetics

319

keep yourself clean and well groomed this is

320

so important make sure your hair is clean um make sure

321

you you take care of your skin make sure you take

322

care of what you put in your body uh shower all these things are

323

so important um make sure you you have your dental checks make sure you go to the hospital

324

when something is really wrong um just make sure you keep up with your health

325

and well -being because

326

that is one of the most important thing healthy from the

327

inside beautiful from the outside sometimes you might be insecure

328

because you think oh i'm not getting enough attention whatever it

329

might literally be the environment you live in i have known many women

330

that have moved countries

331

and were shocked by how beautiful they found them in those

332

other countries you know um i had the same experience like

333

obviously um i think i am genuinely an attractive person

334

but some people are more shocked by my attractiveness than others

335

and uh it can be like other nationalities

336

that look at me a lot like whoa you know

337

and then i can go like somewhere else for example where they have different beauty standards

338

and there i am not that attractive become comfortable with your body

339

and realize that no one is perfect listen no matter how much i try to like look my best

340

and whatever i know i will never be perfect there will always be someone out there

341

that is more beautiful than me um and i am okay with

342

that there will always be someone either

343

that is smarter than me funnier than me everything like it can explain things better than me whatever

344

but they're not me and that's it

345

and that's good enough for me i am me with with things

346

that i cannot fix like there's even like things physically

347

that i don't like or

348

that i am like oh like you know i would much rather prefer

349

that it was not there but still i just accept it

350

because what can i do about it like i literally cannot there's certain things

351

that you just cannot change like even

352

if you try to do plastic surgery whatever certain things you cannot change certain things are genetics

353

and whatever so become comfortable with that and realize

354

that you will never be perfect no one is perfect actually draining to constantly strive for something

355

that is just not there stop like thinking

356

that oh perfection exists no there's even this model she was talking about the fact

357

that she was so beautiful already like on camera stuff she said the way they edit my photos

358

when like um they release it is insane like i have literally cried about how they release my pictures

359

because they completely edit everything it doesn't even look like me

360

anymore that's why we we get a false image of of

361

what is supposed to what we're supposed to look like

362

but nobody looks like

363

that it's literally an ai like it doesn't exist also become

364

comfortable with your body by uh i for example i took

365

belly dance classes oh my god i have never felt more

366

comfortable in my body literally i don't know what it was

367

but it was like this energy and the way you move your body it feels

368

so good and comfortable and you walk out of there feeling

369

so confident about yourself same way with yoga i was actually listening to a doctor

370

that said that yoga is one of the best things a trauma survivor can do

371

because they have seen that that was most effective with abuse survivors um

372

because they learn to trust their body again they can see

373

how their body can move um they they also yoga has breathing exercises so

374

that makes them calm down as well yoga is very very

375

good it's also very good to balance yourself completely from the

376

inside out uncomfortable with your own company these days people do

377

not want to be around themselves they constantly look for someone to hang out with

378

or look for someone to date

379

because they cannot be alone i honestly i'm the quite opposite

380

i need time for myself i literally tell even my partner

381

like please can you just leave me alone like i want to be alone

382

and maybe just with my cat

383

or something you know i really enjoy my own company

384

because i really think

385

that i am really amazing like honestly i would be my

386

own best friend that's how much i enjoy my own company

387

um i like to sit with myself sometimes i do nothing

388

i just stay at a wall i like it it's fun to me

389

but obviously do not take it to the extremes because

390

when you are constantly alone you will isolate yourself

391

and you will also not know how to deal with people anymore

392

or how to socialize and that way you will become more insecure because

393

when you are in a social setting you you you have anxiety you don't know how to talk to people

394

and do this by taking yourself out on dates going on

395

walks with yourself talking to yourself hugging yourself giving yourself a little kiss

396

every single thing you can do looking at yourself in the mirror telling yourself you are

397

so beautiful you are so smart you are

398

so magnetic oh i love your aura treating yourself as you

399

would someone you love sometimes i buy myself flowers sometimes i

400

buy myself gifts um i like it not sit with people that constantly disrespect you

401

um i used to do this and i used to always slide it off

402

and be like oh they don't mean it that way whatever no

403

because then when you actually make your voice hurt

404

and you say like hey listen when they do something really big

405

and you're like hey listen i didn't like that you did

406

that to me and then they will call you sensitive

407

and you're too emotional because you let all these other things slide before

408

and you continue to engage with them whilst they were disrespecting

409

you no i'm not saying after like a small little thing you you blow up

410

and you leave whatever no but if there is continuous disrespect

411

and continuous manipulation of this person telling you i will change

412

and i will do this but the actions does not line up with what they're saying then you leave

413

you do not sit somewhere where someone is disrespecting you you do not

414

that is very that is a sign of very low self -worth

415

because you can say i don't care

416

but what you're actually saying is i don't care about myself don't get offended

417

or threatened easily see i'm the person i don't like to get disrespected

418

but i also not the kind of person

419

that will get offended by anything and everything constantly

420

and oh you have to walk around eggshells no i'm really chill you know

421

but i have my boundaries

422

and you will not cross my boundaries do not get threatened easily honey

423

if you know who you are

424

if you know what you're capable of no one can threaten

425

you what will you do who are you you think i'm afraid no honey sit down give people their space

426

if somebody says to you hey listen i don't want to hang out with you today

427

or even your boyfriend says like hey listen like i need

428

some space whatever don't immediately go freak out like oh my god why is

429

that blah blah no sometimes people like to be alone

430

and they need their own space to collect their thoughts we are still individuals even

431

if you are in a relationship give people their space because

432

if you're gonna latch on and be like why why whatever it looks

433

so desperate no say okay fine have your space do whatever

434

and you go do your own thing have your own space

435

as well then realize you are the main character of your life

436

if i even have to think about the fact that my sister

437

or my other siblings or my mom like they have a own life

438

that doesn't revolve around me i'm shocked

439

because in my head it's literally all about me

440

but then sometimes i sit back

441

and i'm like huh wait they also think about themselves like

442

that like it's in their head they also think about their own lives

443

and that's just insane to me but realize

444

that you are the main character of your life

445

so start acting like it do what is best for you hang with people

446

that want the best for you start taking opportunities

447

that are the best for you

448

because at the end of the day you are your main

449

character you are living your life have expectations for other people

450

and yourself and be unapologetic about it listen

451

if you want something in a partner if you want something in friends

452

if you want something looking for a boss or a job

453

or whatever um yeah you can have expectations

454

and you can you can ask for things don't let these people manipulate you into thinking

455

that you're asking for too much no you're not asking for too much you're asking the wrong person

456

and also have expectations for yourself say hey liz i for

457

example liz i expect you to be like this i expect

458

you to do this whatever blah blah people can say oh

459

no that's being harsh on yourself no i want to have expectations for myself

460

if i have no expectations what will i do i will do nothing

461

so really write down

462

and think about it what are your expectations for yourself how

463

do you expect yourself to be how do you expect yourself

464

to show up how do you expect yourself to act start doing gratitude meditation

465

so i have been doing this now for the past month

466

every single morning like it's a five minute one i will link

467

that one down below as well and it's just in the morning i sit and i just

468

think about how my body serves me

469

because that's also what she says in the meditation

470

and it really makes me feel so grateful

471

and grateful people can look at what they have

472

and how abundant they are so in

473

that state you can attract more abundance realize

474

that you create your own reality whatever you think that you deserve

475

or whatever that you think that you can have you will attract

476

and that's it if you think that you don't deserve a good relationship

477

if you think that you don't deserve to have money

478

if you think

479

that you don't deserve to have beauty confidence all these things

480

you will not have it you will simply not have it

481

because you create your own reality whatever you want will happen

482

because you will create

483

that for yourself do what you can with what you have

484

now do not think oh i don't have this i don't

485

have no no no no no start focusing on what you do have and take what you do have

486

to the next level like you can literally create from nothing you have billionaires today

487

that came from being homeless these people do not complain these

488

people actually do what they can with what they have

489

and that's how you become successful that's how you become confident

490

instead of constantly complaining see look at your situation be like

491

okay this is what going on this is how i am

492

and this is what i can do to fix it and

493

or to create peace with

494

that realize what kind of blessing you are start talking acting walking like a blessing

495

because you are imagine being old and looking back at your younger self

496

and thinking like oh my god why was i

497

so insecure like i was i had everything why was i

498

so insecure right that's

499

so sad literally live your best life right now like enjoy

500

it do silly things sometimes you will have such bad days

501

but enjoy them as well at the end of the day

502

when you're when you're older

503

and you can look back at your life at least make sure you look back at a life

504

that was worth living look back at it say like yeah i was

505

that girl i was that girl anyways i love you guys

506

507

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.
