Shadowing Practice: Your SELF IMAGE can make or break you - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
Are you sure that you are really who you think you are?
2
There are so many parts of your personality that are layers of things
3
that you have created in order to either facilitate who you think you are
4
or facilitate your existence in the world that you exist in.
5
You probably have limiting beliefs in your self-image that allow you to persist in being the type of person that you are.
6
So you have a rhetoric in your head that keeps going over the fact that you're an unlucky person, or you're a lazy type of person, or you'll never get to what you want to in life.
7
It's because you've trained yourself to notice the things in your reality that say, yes, she is right, or yes,
8
he is right because of these things.
9
Our brain wants to prove ourselves right above anything else, because it's a feeling of comfort that you have to know
10
that your inner world resembles the reality so if i think
11
if i i'm an unfortunate person that's just who i am
12
that's just my reality your brain will go okay she's unfortunate let's prove her right this happened
13
that happened she didn't get a parking spot this tragedy happened all this stuff it's gonna prove you right
14
if you let it so in order to change your self-image to facilitate growth
15
and a creation
16
and manifestation of your future reality you need to radically change who you think it is
17
that you are if you don't see yourself as a different person you will keep repeating the loops
18
that you've learned yourself to believe you have you've made yourself
19
too comfortable in this life you haven't set boundaries you have golden child syndrome where you were
20
so good and so convenient and so obedient just to please your parents
21
and a lot of cultures we come from that is what we are
22
in the eastern european culture that i come from you had to be good
23
and proper and listen and all that stuff
24
that is not conducive to being able to stand up for yourself
25
and set boundaries a lot of you would feel the same
26
if you have a knowledge of being yourself for who you are you need to break out of
27
that paradigm and create a new reality so
28
that then your world resembles who you are inside
29
because you're over here trying to manifest and trying to make things happen and trying to
30
you know move forward in the world
31
when you are still in your head the person you always
32
were you need to change who you understand yourself to be first
33
which brings me first onto the sponsor of this video i
34
want to thank blinkist who i've been a fan of for a long time so this is a whole
35
circle turnaround situation where they wanted to sponsor a video thank
36
you it will facilitate you in aiding this video to help you.
37
Blinkist is a service where you can read over 5,500 books on self-development,
38
non-fiction books on progress, mind, psychology, all that juicy stuff that you and I are into.
39
But this is the kicker.
40
Blinkist breaks down the book into the key concepts that the book consists of and serves them to you in 15 minutes.
41
15 minutes.
42
Do you understand how amazing that is?
43
So this book that I'm reading at the moment by Dr. Joe Dispenza, I got it down in 15 minutes, breaking the habit of being yourself, which is what this video is about.
44
How can you move forward if you're still living in the paradigm of who you think you are, which might not be the reality of who you are.
45
You need to change your self-image and self-perception first.
46
This book
47
and Dr. Joe Dispenza in general is incredible when it comes to things like meditation which I'll mention in this video later.
48
I am not I am not too good at this part of it.
49
I find it hard to let my mind rest and to essentially meditate but get this book on Blinkist.
50
You will understand more about his methods and we will discuss mine but it is very very important to this whole process.
51
If you go to my link in bio, you will get 25% off a premium membership.
52
You will get two for the price of one, so you can give it to a friend.
53
Your friend or your family or whatever can also use the service, and you can link books and share them.
54
It is like a whole amazing book club situation going on.
55
Very useful, very amazing.
56
And you'll get 25% off if you use that link, and you'll get seven free days of trial.
57
So utilize it.
58
It's so good to condensate and compress what it is these books are about, especially if you're going to invest your precious, precious time into actually reading the full length version.
59
Look at the key ideas, you can listen to it or you can read it and take it from there.
60
It's important to note, back to our topic, that your limiting beliefs shape your reality and who you are.
61
But what we hardly ever discuss is why did you develop these limiting beliefs?
62
Yes, you might have had a really traumatic, difficult childhood yes you might have not grown up in the way
63
that you wanted to all these things might be true
64
but the reason you're not breaking up with those beliefs might be
65
because they're serving you in some ways a lot of people
66
who are stuck in the victim mentality like to be felt sorry for they like to be mollycoddled
67
and they like to feel witnessed and noticed it's like you will try
68
and save them you will try
69
and break down the doors of the castle slay the dragon
70
and then And the last part is you just need to get into the room where they're locked, but they're holding the door on the other side
71
because they don't want to be saved because this idea and the mental image of themselves as a victim serves them.
72
Is that you?
73
Do you like to speak a rhetoric again and again over
74
and over about how life's not fair and how you don't get all the right things?
75
You need to stop.
76
We need to cut it out because you were given one life
77
and you are going to utilize it if that is the last thing you're going to do.
78
you are going to see how far we can take this thing this movie
79
that is our life you're going to be fully the main character
80
and we're going to see how far we can spin this
81
because you deserve to do this all your ancestors didn't come before you for you to just sit there
82
and hold the door
83
when people are trying to rescue you you need to rescue yourself you need to understand
84
that your thoughts and your emotions shape your reality i always was
85
so confused about the notion of
86
if you want to be happy just be happy i was
87
like how can i be happy tragedies are happening this and
88
that the other thing but the truth is you can't change some of the realities
89
that are happening you just can be the type of person
90
that you are people have noticed throughout history throughout time evolution
91
that those people who make the best out of the little things they have actually amplify
92
and grow you need to create a gratitude habit to learn the skill set of noticing all your opportunities
93
because once you want to buy a red car you suddenly notice
94
that everyone around you has a red car your brain cannot take in all the information
95
that is offered in the world all the time your brain is a supercomputer
96
which you say right brain now we are noticing red cars
97
why do we have a gratitude diary where we write the things we are grateful for every day not
98
because it's a magical thing well i guess it is magic
99
but because we want to train our brain to see
100
and notice the good things why do we want to do
101
that because the more you notice the opportunities and the good things that are happening in your life, the more you can utilize them.
102
I want to buy a red car.
103
I see so many red cars.
104
I want to be successful in a millionaire.
105
I see the paths to how to become that.
106
If all I'm thinking about is how I'm poor, I'm not seeing the opportunities.
107
And this is coming from a person who's been that.
108
I've been that.
109
I've grown up with a single mom with no English, her or I, in a country, eating cereal with no milk.
110
So listen to me.
111
You need to start focusing on opportunities as opposed to a lack thereof.
112
Because your brain is a super machine that will find the opportunities once you let yourself see them.
113
How do you do it?
114
Gratitude.
115
You need to create a journal and write down all the good things that happen during the day.
116
Meanwhile, with the bad things, what you resist persists.
117
It will persist.
118
If you resist it, if you fight it, which is why I often say to women who are like fighting a behavior of a man they're with, instead of constantly fighting that behavior,
119
notice the good behavior that he's doing.
120
It's the most backward thing to say to advise to someone, but it bloody works.
121
Trust me, it works.
122
When you start to speak a light into someone, they start to do the right thing, unless they're the most far gone case in the world, in which case they'll just fall away into the ether as they should.
123
But you need to have blind focus on the goodness
124
and disregard the negative looping that is going on in your mind to change your self-image, who you are, what your reality is.
125
People are now good to you.
126
People want to do good things for you.
127
You are now good to yourself.
128
When I had a child and had a surgery at the same time, love that for me, in terms of like body,
129
I was stuck in a loop where I did not see myself as the fit type of person who had fitness, slimness, a type of body I want.
130
People want different bodies, but that's the type of body I wanted.
131
I was like, how?
132
Googling all these things how I'm sure you've seen my weight loss video on this channel.
133
and suddenly it clicked on me, my identity, I needed to change my self-image from somebody who doesn't know to somebody who knows, now this is really gonna,
134
you're gonna really, your brain's either gonna understand it straight away or struggle to understand it, because I didn't understand it,
135
but I finally did, you don't need to be the person who's dieting in the case
136
that I'm talking about you don't need to be the person who's trying you need to wake up one day
137
and completely shift your reality into the person who already knows say to your brain
138
if I knew what to do what would I do
139
if I knew what to do what would I do
140
because your brain knows it knows a ton of information
141
that you don't know that it knows
142
because it's been picking up throughout your life picking it up picking it up picking it up picking it up
143
but you're focusing on the fact
144
that I don't know what to do I don't know what to eat I don't know how to be fit.
145
I don't know how to lose weight, yeah?
146
You've been focusing on all that.
147
So your brain is affirming that.
148
Yeah, we don't know what to do.
149
Yeah, we don't know what to do.
150
We're walking around not knowing what to do.
151
We're so confused.
152
We don't know what to do.
153
Change your identity.
154
I suddenly knew.
155
I suddenly knew.
156
Oh my god.
157
Shit.
158
Whole foods and no processed food and keto for me
159
being a nordic person works the best i just knew two
160
months 10 kilos lost the hell how i changed my identity it wasn't even hard not to eat junk
161
because i was like i'm that healthy type of person who doesn't eat
162
that thankful for that love it for me it lapses identity changes
163
and i noticed that um i'm in the least happy state in my body
164
when i guess it lapses and i'm not in that identity anymore
165
and then I start to struggle oh oh oh should I eat the the chips
166
and the fries should no you shouldn't what good is it doing for you honestly
167
and I'm pretty strict on this a lot of people are
168
like well love yourself eat the junk I'm not sure
169
if that's a self-love format for me it's still a question
170
no in fact I know I have a knowledge that's not
171
self-love for me maybe for you you need to crowd out what it is
172
that you don't want as opposed to try and get rid of it
173
you need to focus let's stick with the eating thing instead
174
of being like i'm not gonna eat this this this this
175
this this this you're gonna be like you know what i
176
love myself i'm the type of person who loves my body
177
i'm the type of person who wants to do better for
178
themselves i'm the type of person who wants to live a long time
179
and play with my children i'm gonna eat this i'm gonna
180
mix my greens i'm gonna have all this colorful salad
181
because that's what needs to be done i'm gonna have these
182
quality organic meats whatever whatever it is you want to do
183
i don't know you i don't know exactly what you need
184
but you know you know you need to crowd out the
185
bad stuff stop focusing on the bad stuff stop thinking oh my god eat
186
so much junk oh my god i can never you can you can wake up
187
and decide and change your self-image you are now the person who knows
188
and you are now the person who instead of thinking i
189
can't eat these fries i can't eat these chips whatever country
190
you're whatever you call it think i need a salad today i need this gorgeous salmon fillet
191
because i need my omega-6 omega-3 omega whatever right that's how
192
we need to be coming at it from self-love you need to create an idea
193
and a self-image that you are the type of person because why not you
194
that can create any reality that they want just wake up tomorrow and try it just decide that's you
195
decide
196
and I hear you I hear your brain going no no
197
that's not me I can't that's not a reality these kind of videos are just you know people talking like that
198
but it can't happen it can it can be you it's
199
many people you can be one of those people why not
200
why can't you be one of those people why can't things
201
happen for you your brain sees what it is you train
202
it to notice that's the key to it you need to
203
lean into what makes you feel good as opposed to what makes you feel blocked
204
so what made me feel good in the whole weight loss health journey is knowing
205
that I'm fueling my body with these amazing things as opposed to things I can't eat
206
so I totally stopped thinking about things I can't eat
207
and started to almost to the level of obsessed to be
208
like oh my god I can't wait to eat this I
209
can't wait to eat this to research food to listen to podcasts about like food
210
and like interesting things to really fall in love with it
211
um I've heard a lot of people who break out of eating um disorders
212
which isn't what this video is about
213
but they they break out of it's from a passion for food as opposed to trying to escape from it and
214
that is a big thing you need a positivity mindset a
215
growth mindset is what it's called as opposed to a negative
216
mindset a growth mindset is where things are possible for you for anyone at any time
217
and you can make it happen and that is the first thing
218
that needs to shift before you sit there
219
and you manifest some kind of reality you need to manifest
220
a new version of yourself from tomorrow you're going to be
221
43 you're going to be 18 you're going to be 28 that's a whole new you that's a whole new you
222
i got it in my head
223
that my life is in seven cycles my last birthday i
224
was like this is where my next cycle begins i grew
225
my tiktok to over half a million within five months i launched a podcast
226
which is charted i am not saying this to like show off or anything
227
but i just decided i'm from this birthday for the next
228
seven years i don't know what's gonna happen in the next seven years it's gonna be even better
229
but like seven year cycles that's what i decided you need to Create a belief for yourself
230
that is unbreakable and that you will live with and believe unbreakably.
231
The book that I mentioned earlier via Blinkist, it goes into meditation.
232
That is not something I can sit here and teach you because, let alone being an expert, I'm not even a practitioner.
233
I don't know the power that it has, but I do believe that meditation isn't what everyone always says it is and that it's a certain practice.
234
You've got to let go, brain, da-da-da.
235
I believe I've reached a level of some sort of meditation I guess it's my own
236
but a visualization an emotional connection to the ideas of what
237
I want to happen I lie down before I go to sleep
238
and I feel into the reality
239
that I want to happen I don't know a feeling of
240
independence happiness with my child success in my endeavors feel into them emotionally
241
and that is my meditation
242
but Dr Joe Dispenza will give you more he's got lots of books on
243
that the key to take away from this is your brain
244
will create the pathway to close the gap between your belief and your reality.
245
So if right now this is your reality and this is your belief of who you are, it's cohesive to who you are.
246
So if you think you're a piece of garbage that doesn't serve anything and you can't do anything and all this stuff, your brain has matched it.
247
And now, oh, this is where the brain feels good, where your belief matches your reality.
248
If you can overpower yourself and change your belief
249
to where you're this person and your belief your soul
250
and your spirit and your mind is stronger than any body in any reality right
251
so your belief is here your brain has no choice
252
but to pull up to where you are it will pull up
253
and it will create pathways you will start noticing opportunities you will start to carry yourself differently you will lose
254
that weight or you will dress differently or you will gain
255
that weight if that is what you want or you will present yourself differently in order to match your self-concept, your self-image.
256
That's what's going to happen.
257
Lastly, a lot of ways that we see ourselves and our self-belief needs to be dismantled.
258
It comes from a pain point in childhood or some way
259
that you became convenient or some way that you learned to survive, to disappear in the background, to not require for much,
260
to not set boundaries, to not appear in this world as a person of presence
261
and someone who deserves to take up space, even down to the fact that what we were talking about earlier, weight loss, a lot of times people hold weight in order to protect themselves from the world.
262
If you notice a lot of people who carry weight and they don't know why are people who are overly kind, hence the stereotype can sometimes prevail that,
263
and they are trying to protect themselves from hurtful things in the world, and it is hurtful.
264
so you almost need to
265
fortify yourself
266
in your self knowledge and self concept and let go of the fact that the world is going to hurt you, it might but you will survive, you will be fine you can do this
267
because you're going to change your self image
268
and you're going to appear in this world as the person you are meant to be
269
and you will see the pathways the world will open its arms to you, I promise
270

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.
