I used to be completely stuck.

At 19, I had been arrested six times in one year, and I was at the absolute rock bottom of my life,

and it was not until I accepted these six truths that I was able to truly change my life, build a multi -million dollar company,

and build myself into the woman that I'd always wanted to be.

So if you are ambitious, but you are lazy, and you are ready to get unstuck, here is harsh truth number one.

I call this the approval addiction.

What if I told you that the real reason that you are stuck is not fear of failure, but it is actually your addiction to approval.

When I first got into business, I remember that I actually was at a business mastermind.

I was one of the youngest people there.

I was also one of the only females.

And I remember that someone came up to me and they told me, they were like, hey, is this what you normally wear?

And I was like, yeah.

And at the time it was like, I would wear like athleisure.

I had like Lululemon clothes I was always wearing because it was comfortable.

And I remember this person told me, they were like, so if you dress like this,

I just want you to understand that nobody's ever going to take you seriously.

And so if you want to be taken seriously, one, you have to cover your whole body.

And two, you can't dress like this.

And I remember thinking, I was like, wait, are you serious?

And they're like, yeah, everybody here, they're not going to take you seriously unless you change how you dress.

I want to say like the next four or five years,

like literally all I thought about when I was getting changed in the morning was the fact of what they had said.

And so I changed my whole wardrobe and then I started dressing nothing I'd ever dressed like before.

I threw out all of my clothes that I felt comfortable in.

And every day when I did wear my clothes I felt comfortable in.

I felt like people were looking at me funny, like they wouldn't take me seriously.

I felt like I couldn't go to a business meeting like that.

And I ended up just like losing confidence in myself.

I remember until one day I realized that regardless of

if I was dressing like that or I was dressing in the way that I wanted to dress,

either I was getting the approval from others or I was getting approval from myself.

And I had continued to sacrifice my own self -approval for

the approval of all these other people who I realized I didn't look up to,

I didn't want their lives and I actually didn't even really respect them

and I said what am I doing

so what I do I put back on my clothes

and I said fuck it I'm gonna do things how I want to do them

now here's the reality most people hesitate to step up

because they are terrified of being judged they want approval

and they want to fit in just like I did more than they want to succeed

they want to win they want to have the life

that they've always wanted to build they want to be the person

that they want to be if you're unwilling to be misunderstood you are essentially unwilling willing to get unstuck.

So here's what I want you to do.

Write down one thing that you're holding back on because you are afraid of what people will think about you.

And then what you can do is you can take one small step towards that action today.

Post a piece of content.

Have a hard conversation with somebody.

Just speak the truth to somebody.

Put an idea pen to paper. Do something.

Allow yourself to be judged.

Do not fight it.

It's like a lot of times when we feel like we're being judged, we immediately want to get out of that zone.

We're like, I don't want to feel like I'm being judged.

But if you just stay there and you allow yourself to be judged, what you will find on the other side of that is actually freedom.

Because once you realize that you can tolerate judgment from other people, you can have anything you want and you can be whoever you want.

Next, truth number two, success demands a trade.

What if the life that you say you want is blocked by the life that you are unwilling to give up?

For me, something

that I was unwilling to give up for a period of time in my life is

that I prioritized comfort over growth when it came to my friends and my body.

Now, what does that mean?

I was so comfortable in the friend group that I had

that I chose remaining friends with these people rather than having the life I wanted

because I knew that if I wanted to pursue that life, I would lose those friends.

I remember that I had a group of friends that I lived with in a house.

They were all great people, but I realized at that time that it was really hard for me to become the person I wanted to become,

to do the things I wanted to do when I was with those people.

Now, why was that?

Because all of their habits worked against the habits I would have to build to be that person.

And so every time I would start to do something different, I would start to deviate from the norm.

It'd be like little things they would say and little judgments they would cast upon me.

And I just remember that slight discomfort.

It was just enough friction to make me think, you know what?

It's fine.

I don't need to do that.

Like, I love them.

They're so fun to hang out with.

These are my friends.

Who would I be with without them?

They've been my friends for forever.

And until I really got to the point where I said, you know what?

I want to become that person more than I want to keep all of my friends

It wasn't until that moment that I wasn't able to change.

Here's the thing

You do not get what you want most in life.

I know that sounds terrible and I know that we all want that

We're like if I want it bad enough, i'm gonna get it

But you don't you get what you work for and most people are actually working to keep their comfort

Think about it.

Like at that point I was working

so hard to keep my friends I was working

so hard to keep my beliefs I was working so hard to keep myself stuck because everybody says they want success.

Very few people can actually show it with their actions.

We are not our desires.

We are our actions.

If your time and your calendar and your money do not reflect your goals and the life that you say you want,

then be honest with yourself.

It's not really the life you want you want the life

100

you currently have more than the one you say you want that's it

101

if you wanted

102

that one more you would be on your way to getting it the disconnect between desire

103

and behavior is what keeps you stuck in the patterns

104

that you hate and the life that you hate

105

because those patterns are easier than choosing growth

106

so here's what you can do look at your calendar look

107

at your bank account look at where you spend your time

108

and money highlight where it actually goes where does most of your time

109

and money actually go and then ask yourself and circle it what doesn't line up with what you say you want.

110

Talk is cheap.

111

It's the oldest saying in the book, but like I didn't really get this until I was an adult.

112

The only thing that matters is what they do.

113

So circle the one thing, one thing that you are spending time or money on

114

that is not leading to the life you want and then replace that with something that will.

115

Maybe it's right now, you're like, you know what?

116

I'm spending $200 a month, Layla, on my nails, but I don't spend $200 on a gym membership

117

and I'm out of shape and I feel like I should be working out.

118

Great.

119

Screw your nails.

120

Do them at home for a few months.

121

Get the gym membership.

122

Or maybe you're like, you know what?

123

Every Tuesday, I go to Taco Tuesday with my friends, and we get drunk, and then I wake up on Wednesday,

124

and then I kind of hate myself, and I feel anxious.

125

I've got the anxiety.

126

And then the next day, I'm like, crap, why'd I do that?

127

And then I take like two days to recover.

128

My stomach's all messed up.

129

I feel anxious.

130

I text somebody that I wish I didn't text.

131

What could we replace that with?

132

What if instead you just stayed home and you watched educational YouTube videos for 90 minutes?

133

Which one's gonna get you to the life that you want?

134

Do this for a week, a month, a year.

135

It's the little changes like this that compound and actually bring you to the person you wanna be.

136

Now, number three, clarity comes from motion, not the other way around.

137

I know that nobody ever wants to hear this, and I don't even like hearing it because guess what?

138

I have to coach myself.

139

But waiting to feel ready is the biggest trap

140

that you can fall into when it comes to doing anything that you want to do.

141

I did not feel ready when I started my first company, Gym Launch, when I gave up all of my clients.

142

I had a roster of personal trained clients.

143

I gave all of them up to start this company.

144

I never felt ready.

145

I did not feel ready when I started making content.

146

I did not feel ready when I moved across the country.

147

I did not feel ready when I got married.

148

I did not feel ready when I started acquisition .com.

149

None of it.

150

I have never felt ready for the success that came my way.

151

The only thing that will make you ready for something is doing it.

152

Think about this.

153

You will only ever feel ready the second time you do something.

154

That's it.

155

So if you haven't done it before, you're never going to feel ready.

156

The second time you do it, you can feel ready.

157

The first time, never going to feel ready.

158

So if you are waiting to start your life, you will never have the life you want.

159

What is a time in your life where you took action before you felt ready?

160

And what happened?

161

If you're watching this video, you didn't die.

162

You're still here.

163

Can't be that bad.

164

Most people have this backwards.

165

They wait their entire life to feel ready instead of acting their way to readiness.

166

Confidence does not come first.

167

You're not going to feel confident before you do the first rep.

168

You will feel confident or more confident on the second rep, but you will not feel confident before the first rep.

169

Action comes first.

170

Action builds experience.

171

Experience then builds competence, right?

172

You're getting the skills.

173

And then that competence, having those skills, is what creates confidence.

174

And then from there, you can go into something feeling great.

175

This is what you're going to do.

176

Write down one thing that you've been waiting to feel ready for.

177

Break it down into the smallest first step.

178

Do one today.

179

Seriously, one of the best pieces of advice I ever got from somebody.

180

If you make a plan, start the first step today.

181

Why is that?

182

You buy yourself in.

183

We have to get ourselves to buy in our own plans.

184

This is not mutually exclusive for, like, somebody else's plans you need to get your own buy -in

185

and you do

186

that by taking action truth number four thoughts are just noise hey this might sound crazy

187

but you don't have to believe everything you think i know it's fucking insane

188

when i was younger this is one of the things

189

that i did not understand i'd be like i'm fucking nuts what the hell i am negative

190

and i realized i was like oh no

191

this is just how your brain works like for me one

192

of my biggest insecurities ever since i lost weight is that i always feel like I'm still a hundred pounds heavier.

193

I've been at the gym and I will walk past the gym and be like, she looks good.

194

Oh my God, it's me.

195

I'm like, no, I'm a hundred pounds heavier because most of my life I was chubby.

196

I was made fun of, I was overweight.

197

And so it's like this disassociation in my mind.

198

How did I overcome that?

199

I started telling myself these thoughts aren't real.

200

These thoughts are old thoughts.

201

In fact, they're outdated.

202

I'm like, oh, my computer system needs an update.

203

That's how your mind is sometimes.

204

Sometimes you just need an update.

205

You might be dealing with thoughts.

206

You're a failure.

207

You suck.

208

You're ugly.

209

You're never going to need a boyfriend.

210

You're never going to get a girlfriend.

211

You're going to be popular.

212

People don't like you.

213

Where did those come from?

214

Like think about the thoughts that you think the most, the toughest intrusive thoughts you have.

215

Where did they come from?

216

Probably not you, but you just keep replaying them in the system over and over again.

217

And so sometimes what we have to do is we have to step back and we have to say, you know what?

218

One, these thoughts are not facts.

219

Two, I need an update.

220

So what do I want to update these thoughts with?

221

Certainly something better than this, right?

222

It's like, well, if it's not true, it's playing in my head all day.

223

Fuck it.

224

I might as well make something not true that makes me feel better about myself than this shit thing in my head.

225

Most people let their internal dialogue steer their actions without ever questioning it.

226

Now, this is the definition of living on autopilot, and it needs to stop if you actually want to change your life.

227

You have to be able to sit there and say, you know what?

228

I don't believe everything, I think.

229

And this is why we use a tool called Thought Detachment.

230

That is the process of identifying certain thoughts as optional.

231

That's it.

232

It's like your thoughts are not facts.

233

They're just words and pictures in your head.

234

You can take it or leave it.

235

It's up to you.

236

Would you like to believe this thought today?

237

Or would you not like to believe this thought today?

238

And some people say, well, Layla, I do think that that thought is true.

239

Like, you know, my husband said this.

240

I do think I've gained five pounds.

241

Maybe you have gained five pounds.

242

Do you think thinking I'm a fat piece of shit is helpful?

243

It's just not helpful.

244

So at some point you have to be like, it might be true but it doesn't help me.

245

Instead, I could think, you know what?

246

I have gained five pounds and I can also lose five pounds because I'm a badass.

247

The next time that you feel stuck in a cycle of overthinking, try labeling the thought.

248

I notice that I'm having the thought that I'm a cat.

249

I notice I'm having the thought that I'm not smart.

250

I notice I'm having the thought that I'm a complete fucking failure.

251

Visualize it like this.

252

I think of it like I am off -road.

253

I have my car pulled on the side of the highway

254

and I watch all these cars driving by

255

and those cars are my thoughts

256

and each one of them I see them in the car

257

and then I'm like do I want to get in do

258

I not want to get in do I want to get in with

259

that stranger do I want to get in with

260

that guy driving the semi do I want to get into the Lamborghini all right

261

or the Rolls Royce you get to choose that's the cool thing

262

and if you do this consistently you will cut the power out of your thoughts

263

that have what you feel is a lot more power over your actions

264

if you take a lot of the juice out of them

265

you almost like draining it of gas it's a lot weaker

266

and then it's a lot easier to detach from This brings us to point number five, which is acceptance is power.

267

What if the thing that you keep resisting is actually the key to your growth for years?

268

I did not understand the concept that thoughts are not facts.

269

And I did not understand the concept that we all have negative emotions.

270

And so I would go around having tons of negative emotions, feeling super anxious and super stressed.

271

This is my early 20s.

272

And I remember thinking all the time, I was like, like, if somebody knew what was in my head, I would not get a boyfriend.

273

I'm never going to get married.

274

My friends would be like, you're a fucking crazy, bitch.

275

I remember thinking those things all the time

276

and then i remember i got married you know lucky him eventually one day i start talking to him

277

and i'm like i just don't want to tell you all the crazy thoughts

278

i have in my head he was like why

279

and i was like i mean like what if you think i'm crazy

280

and i remember that moment my husband was like so what

281

that led me to this tool which is the

282

so what i was like oh i like that what do you mean

283

so what he's like

284

so what still married you it's still cute i don't think it'll change much

285

and i was just like oh wow and it diffused

286

so much of my emotion around the situation that that all of a sudden I started spewing everything at him.

287

I was like, I think this, and this, and this.

288

And he was like, checks out.

289

And then I was like, what if, what if I could do that for myself?

290

And so now what I learned is that every time I have a thought that feels scary, feels big, feels gross, feels negative,

291

then I just say to myself, so what?

292

So what you got a fucked up thought?

293

So what that you think that?

294

You are a tiny speck on this giant universe.

295

And that thought will go away as fast as it came.

296

So I want you to try this mental reframe.

297

Think of active acceptance as a tool in your toolbox.

298

Active acceptance is just saying, so what?

299

You're like, what if this happened?

300

Then my boyfriend breaks up with me and then this happens, then blah, blah, blah. So what?

301

Half of being stuck comes from resisting reality.

302

It comes from resisting your thoughts, resisting the negative feelings.

303

So acceptance means carrying the circumstances, the feelings, the thoughts with you rather than fighting them.

304

Now, what you will find is that this does not mean that you're giving up.

305

It means that you move forward with reality, not against it and this takes

306

so much of the power out of a situation a thought

307

or feeling now this is how you can actually put

308

it into practice right now i'm going to ask you this what in your life right

309

now is unfair what is unfair maybe you have a bad boss

310

or a really heavy workload with your job

311

or bad customer review next to it right

312

so what i can carry this then ask yourself this what is one productive action

313

that you can take while being uncomfortable holding that thought

314

or circumstance because here's the thing the price of your dreams tomorrow is the discomfort of accepting it today

315

which brings us to our final

316

and most important truth you need to audit your beliefs there's a reason

317

that we call them your beliefs not facts not the universal beliefs we know

318

that our beliefs shape our reality and what's crazy is

319

that our beliefs might be completely fucking wrong

320

and crazy right we've identified this one of the biggest beliefs that i've had to unlearn is that fear means something's dangerous.

321

I used to have so many feelings of fear of anxiety and they would feel paralyzing almost like literally like sweaty hands.

322

I'd feel like my mouth is foaming, not foaming, but I'm losing like spit in my mouth.

323

Foaming would be tough.

324

That'd be a seizure.

325

You should go to the doctor if that happens to you.

326

But I would have, you know, no spit in my mouth.

327

Like I'm so nervous about something.

328

And I used to think when I was younger that that meant that that thing was dangerous.

329

And that finally, when I really understood

330

that this was just a belief I had about any situation I was really scared it was

331

because I had an irrational belief about

332

that thing you know some people have an irrational fear of

333

spiders an irrational fear of flying the crazy thing is

334

that more people will die in a car crash

335

this year than they will in a plane crash yet people

336

are way more scared of flying than they are of the car I have had plenty of those things

337

and I think what I used to think is that fear equals bad.

338

Then what I realized is that fear equals a rational belief that it is time to break.

339

When you have unchecked beliefs, I'll never succeed.

340

This thing is dangerous.

341

This business is gonna die.

342

This guy's gonna leave me.

343

And then you let them silently dictate every action or inaction you take.

344

That is when you get stuck.

345

So if you're watching this video and you're thinking, I am stuck in some way, maybe you're stuck in a cycle of destructive beliefs.

346

Because think about this, the only beliefs that we don't question are the ones that we don't even know our beliefs.

347

We assume them as truths.

348

And so what I'd like you to do is try a belief swap.

349

You're going to identify your irrational beliefs and we're going to replace them with rational ones.

350

What freaks you out?

351

What makes you anxious?

352

What pisses you off?

353

What things provide you with the most highest irrational emotional reaction?

354

Is it when your boyfriend, you see a like of another girl on Instagram?

355

Does that make you really fucking pissed and you want to go like slash some tires?

356

Is it when, you know, a customer leaves you one bad review

357

and all of a sudden you want to shut down your business because you think that your business sucks?

358

Irrational beliefs keep us stuck.

359

Rational beliefs move us forward.

360

If you can change your beliefs, you can change your life.

361

So write down one irrational belief that you keep repeating.

362

Maybe it's I'll never succeed.

363

And then ask three questions.

364

One, is this logical?

365

Two, where is the proof in this actual world that this is a real belief?

366

And lastly, does this belief help me?

367

Maybe it is wackadoodle, but maybe it is true.

368

But is it helpful?

369

And does believing it make your life better or worse?

370

rewrite it as a rational belief you can actually live by.

371

Now, what does that mean?

372

I am not a proponent of, you know, I lost 100 pounds and I was not like, I am a Victoria's Secret model.

373

I was like, no, I'm not.

374

I still got a little chunk.

375

But I said, you know what?

376

No, I'm healthy and I work hard.

377

I can achieve my dream body if I work hard enough for long enough.

378

That's a rational belief to have versus I'm going to be the Queen of England or I'm going to, you know, make it to the moon.

379

I'm going to beat Elon Musk.

380

It's like, all right, well, that's a tough stretch.

381

Let's try and make it something that's believable, that when we say it, we feel empowered and we feel more confident.

382

So those are rational beliefs.

383

And here's the thing, once you write down that rational belief, if you act on it, you will actually embed it,

384

and you will start to believe it over time.

385

Trust me, the sooner that you accept these truths, the sooner you will be able to change your life.

Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt	they've always wanted · They've been · have never felt

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 115 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, you're, don't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

De klanken “sh” en “zh”: rational /ˈɹæʃ(ə)nəl/, irrational /ɪˈɹæʃ.(ə.)nəl/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, addiction /əˈdɪkˌʃən/
Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: irrational /ɪˈɹæʃ.(ə.)nəl/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, universal /ˌjunəˈvɜɹs(ə)l/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, acquisition /ˌæk.wɪˈzɪʃ.ən/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: pound /ˈpaʊ̯nd/, succeed /səkˈsiːd/, dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, productive /pɹəˈdʌk.tɪv/, compound /ˈkɑmpaʊnd/
/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: rational /ˈɹæʃ(ə)nəl/, irrational /ɪˈɹæʃ.(ə.)nəl/, anxious /ˈæŋkʃəs/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, calendar /ˈkæl.ən.də/
/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: regardless /ɹɪˈɡɑɹd.lɪs/, gross /ɡɹoʊs/, ugly /ˈʌɡli/, dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, youngest /ˈjʌŋ.ɡɪst/

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.
