1
Hello and welcome to a new episode.
2
Good to be here.
3
Today we start with a somewhat unangy
4
But the tone was sharp.
5
So a, na, that's you could say it.
6
And zack, I reacted.
7
Faster than I could think.
8
I was nervous, I was kind of nervous.
9
genau darüber sprechen wir heute warum fällt es uns oft
10
so schwer mit unseren gefühlen umzugehen und wie wir in solchen
11
momenten trotzdem wieder die kontrolle zurückgewinnen können also macht ihr einen
12
tee und lass uns gemeinsam reinschauen zuerst mal ich glaube viele von uns haben nie really learned with feelings to go.
13
Not because we are weak, but because we just didn't show has shown how it goes.
14
Maybe you know you say like Jetzt übertreib nicht!
15
Oder Reiß dich zusammen!
16
Und was macht man dann?
17
Man schluckt es runter.
18
Wieder und wieder.
19
Man sagt sich, komm schon, weiter jetzt!
20
Und irgendwann reicht ein kleiner Funke und alles bricht raus.
21
Nicht, weil du übertreibst, sondern weil da einfach schon zu viel war.
22
Wie bei einem Fass, das fast überläuft, da fehlt nur noch ein Tropfen.
23
Gefühle sind Signale unseres Gehirns.
24
Sie zeigen uns, wie wir eine Situation erleben.
25
Aber wenn wir von Gefühlen sprechen, denken viele nur an die Grundemotionen wie Freude, Wut oder Traurigkeit.
26
In Wirklichkeit gibt es viel mehr und nicht alle erkennt man sofort.
27
Genau deshalb ist einer der wichtigsten Schritte Gefühle erkennen und verstehen.
28
Because how do we do something to solve, if we don't know what the problem is?
29
We react often stark, without knowing exactly what we actually feel.
30
Think about the situation from the beginning.
31
I said, I didn't know why I reacted so much.
32
But later, it was clear.
33
There was not only anger, but also a lot of excitement.
34
Maybe even the feeling, a bit of a shock to be.
35
That's why it's important to be aware of the feelings clearly to be able to be able to understand.
36
That helps us, the feeling better to understand and find out how we can do the feeling well.
37
Are I angry or angry, or just angry or just angry?
38
Helpful is also to understand what the feeling has caused, the so -called trigger.
39
Was it a certain tone, a formula or just a old memory, which is just a little bit of a moment?
40
If we see that, we react less automatically and more consciously.
41
I want to tell you a few tips with you, which have helped me personally with my feelings better.
42
And maybe there is also something there that helps you helps.
43
If you want to react impulsively, just go to the bathroom, go to the bathroom and your hands with cold water.
44
That sounds maybe strange, I know.
45
But this moment is a moment that pulls you out of the feeling.
46
So, as if you would like to turn the sender to the TV.
47
Plötzlich is your head in a different mode.
48
And while the water über deine Hände läuft, wird es innen langsam ruhiger.
49
Vielleicht merkst du dann, okay, eigentlich ist es das gar nicht wert.
50
Kennst du das?
51
Alles kommt auf einmal.
52
Termine, Nachrichten, Gedanken.
53
Und plötzlich fühlt man sich machtlos.
54
In solchen Momenten hilft mir eine kleine Übung.
55
Ich schreibe three things on, which I can now control.
56
For example, I can decide to ask me, to ask me to ask me, I can cook something warm.
57
I can make a walk -in.
58
It sounds maybe simple, but that's what I'm looking forward to now.
59
I notice that I have not everything in control, but I am not helping.
60
Manchmal hilft ein Perspektivwechsel.
61
Du hörst Kritik und denkst sofort, ich bin nicht gut genug.
62
Aber was, wenn du stattdessen denkst, okay, war nur ein Kommentar, bisschen scharf vielleicht, mal sehen, was ich daraus mitnehmen kann.
63
So lenkst du den Fokus weg vom unangenehmen Gefühl, hin zu dem, was du daraus machen kannst.
64
Auch wenn du dich gerade gut im Griff hast, deine Gefühle verschwinden nicht einfach.
65
Sie brauchen einen Weg nach draußen.
66
Sonst stauen sie sich nur an.
67
Wie ein Schnellkochtopf.
68
Wenn der Druck zu lange zu hoch ist, explodiert er irgendwann.
69
Deshalb lass deine Gefühle raus, aber auf eine Weise, die dir gut tut.
70
Zum Beispiel nimm eine Sprachnachricht für dich selbst auf.
71
1. Tell me what you are just doing.
72
You have to do not listen to it.
73
2. You can't listen to it.
74
3. Schreib a message to someone who has hurt you and then throw him down.
75
4. You want to talk to someone who you trust.
76
5. You bring your feelings through Kunst to the words with photos, music, or writing.
77
What you want to choose, these ways help you, your inner space to build your inner space,
78
without you or others to hurt yourself.
79
The next tip is maybe not for everyone, but I always help him.
80
Always when I feel like my head is over -full, I'm going to have something to do with.
81
Maybe a Schublade, my Schreibtisch or just my backpack.
82
I don't know why, but when the room around me is clear, feels the chaos in mind a bit lighter.
83
And sometimes my mood is better.
84
And if my mood is at 98%, just before the inner Vulkan -Ice, then I make one.
85
I go on the market.
86
Yeah, really.
87
Frisches Obst, kleine schöne Dinge, ein paar Snacks vielleicht.
88
Klingt komisch, aber für mich ist das fast wie Meditation.
89
Zwischen Tomaten und Weintrauben wird es still in mir.
90
Ich atme durch, sehe Farben, Formen, Menschen und merke, alles gut.
91
Die Welt dreht sich weiter und ich auch.
92
Wut, Scham, Traurigkeit, Eifersucht.
93
We can't just leave them.
94
The feelings are part of us and make our life a bit.
95
What we can do is learn our feelings to listen, and to understand them and step by step better with them.
96
Atmeth deep through, and be sanft to you.
97
And think about it will go over.
98
Everything will be good.
99

Ein starkes Gefühl von Ärger oder Zorn.

113
The Eifersucht – a unangeneh feeling when you have a feeling, someone or a person's benefit to lose.
114
For example, when your colleague got the support, she felt Eifersucht.
115
The Trigger – a reaction, which can cause a strong emotion reaction.
116
Zum Beispiel, Der Perspektivwechsel.
117
Zum Beispiel,
118
Die Sprachnachricht.
119
A message that you have with your voice and send.
120
For example, I have to send you a message message, because I had no time to write.
121

127
Hallo und herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge.
128
Schön, dass du dabei bist.
129
Hm, heute fangen wir mal mit einer eher unangenehmen Erinnerung an.
130
Etwas, das mir letzte Woche passiert ist.
131
I was actually okay.
132
No drama, nothing special.
133
Just a full day, many emails and a little bit of sleep.
134
And then came this one, not bad gemeint, but...
135
The tone was sharp. So a...
136
That you could say it was too much. And...
137
I reacted immediately schneller, as I could think.
138
I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous,
139
I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous, I was nervous,
140
I was nervous, I was nervous,
141
I was nervous, with our feelings and how we can in such moments we can still get control back to you?
142
Also, make a tea and let's see together.
143
First of all, I think many of us have never really learned with feelings to go.
144
Not because we are weak, but because we just didn't show anyone how it goes.
145
Maybe you know Sätze like
146
Or And what does it do then?
147
You can't do it down, down and down.
148
You say, come on, go now.
149
And then a little bit of a little funk and everything breaks out.
150
Not because you're going to do it, but because there's just a lot of time.
151
Like with a Fass, that's fast over -the -life, there is only a drop of a drop.
152
The feeling of our brain are signals.
153
They show us how we experience a situation.
154
But when we talk about the feeling of emotion, many think of the only emotions of the emotion like Freude, Wut or Traurigkeit.
155
In reality, there is much more and not all of them are sofort.
156
That's why one of the most important steps is to recognize and understand.
157
Denn wie sollen wir etwas lösen, wenn wir nicht mal wissen, was genau das Problem ist?
158
Wir reagieren oft stark, ohne genau zu wissen, was wir eigentlich fühlen.
159
Denkt noch mal kurz an die
160
Situation vom Anfang.
161
Ehrlich gesagt, ich wusste selbst nicht, warum ich so reagiert habe.
162
Erst später wurde mir klar, da war nicht nur Ärger, sondern auch Erschöpfung.
163
Vielleicht sogar das Gefühl, überfordert zu sein.
164
That's why it's so important, the feelings clearly to be able to be able to be able to be able to understand.
165
That helps us, the feeling better to understand and to find out how we can with the feeling well.
166
Are we wütend or hurt?
167
Traurig or just erschöpft?
168
Helpful is also to know what the feeling has caused by the trigger trigger.
169
Was it a certain tone, a formula or just a memory, which is just a moment of a memory,
170
which is just a moment of a moment, we react more automatically and more consciously.
171
I want to tell you a few tips with you, which have helped me personally with my feelings better to go.
172
And maybe something is also there, that helps you helps.
173
If you want to react impulsively, just go to the bathroom, go to the bathroom and your hands with cold water.
174
That sounds maybe strange, I know.
175
But this moment is going to take you out of the feeling.
176
So, as if you would like to turn the TV on the TV.
177
Plötzlich is your head in a different mode.
178
And while the water goes over your hands läuft, wird es innen langsam ruhiger.
179
Vielleicht merkst du dann, okay, eigentlich ist es das gar nicht wert.
180
Kennst du das?
181
Alles kommt auf einmal.
182
Termine, Nachrichten, Gedanken.
183
Und plötzlich fühlt man sich machtlos.
184
In solchen Momenten hilft mir eine kleine Übung.
185
Ich schreibe drei Dinge I can't wait for a walk.
186
I can't wait for a walk.
187
I can't wait for a walk.
188
I can't wait for a walk.
189
I can't wait for a walk.
190
It sounds simple.
191
But exactly that's what I'm looking for now.
192
I notice that I'm not in control.
193
But I'm not a help.
194
Sometimes, you know, a perspective change.
195
You hear criticism and think immediately, I am not good enough.
196
But what if you think, okay, it was just a comment, a little sharp maybe, see what I can do with it.
197
So you can focus away from unaliening feeling, to what you can do with it.
198
If you are just right in the grip, your feelings are not just going to go.
199
They need to go outside.
200
Sonst stauen they just like a quick -and -to -play.
201
If the pressure is too high, it explodes.
202
So, let your feelings out.
203
But in a way, which does you do well.
204
For example, take a speech for yourself yourself on.
205
Tell just what you are just doing.
206
You have to do it not to listen.
207
You can already hear it.
208
Or write a letter to someone who has hurt you and then you will have to do it.
209
Maybe you want to talk with someone who you trust.
210
Or you bring your feelings through art to the text with photos, or writing, music or writing.
211
What you want to choose, these ways help you, your inner space to build up,
212
without you or others to hurt yourself.
213
Maybe not for everyone, but I help him every time.
214
Always when I feel that my mind is over -full, I'm going to have something to do with.
215
Maybe a Schublade, my Schreibtisch or just my backpack.
216
I don't know why, but when the room around me is clear, feels the chaos in mind a bit easier.
217
And sometimes my mood is better.
218
And if my mood is at 98 % just before the inner Vulkan -Ausbruch, Then I make one.
219
I go on the market.
220
Yes, really.
221
Fresh Obst, little things, a few snacks maybe.
222
It's funny, but for me it's almost like meditation.
223
Between tomatoes and tomatoes is still in me.
224
I'm breathing through, seeing colors, forms, people and I'm feeling good.
225
The world is moving, and I also.
226
Wut, Scham, Traurigkeit, Eifersucht.
227
We can't just leave them.
228
Gefühle are a part of us.
229
And they make our life a bit.
230
What we can do is learn, our feelings to listen, them to understand.
231
And by step by step better with them to go.
232
Atme deep through.
233
Sei sanft to dir.
234
And think about it, it will go over.
235
Everything will go well.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
