Creating lesson...
1
Okay, today I will explain how to pass someone who procrastinated, who always puts his actions in the morning and later, to someone who passes action every day,
2
constantly, even when it's uncomfortable, and even when he doesn't want to.
3
And I will explain that because I was personally the reine of the procrastination.
4
I was the reine of the procrastination and the perfectionism.
5
So what happened is that I wanted to pass an action massive, I had a great dream, I had so much ambition, so much ambition, so much envie of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything, of everything.
6
But my problem was that every time I wanted to do something, whether to do sports, to do business,
7
I tried to do dozens of business before doing what I do today, or even to meet someone else, to meet someone else, to meet someone else.
8
I had all these ideas, all these ideas in my head.
9
And every time, what happened to me, it was that I procrastinated, I contemplated the action.
10
And I was constantly in my mind of what I do, how to do I do it, how to do it, and if I had not exactly all the steps,
11
the business plan, the 1, the 2, the 3, and that I didn't know exactly what I'm going to do in the 2, the 5.
12
In fact, what happened is that I didn't pass it.
13
And so I was very, very busy.
14
but I was not productive for all.
15
I don't know if that's what you're talking about, but it's this stage where you're on your phone, you're scrolling, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone,
16
then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, then you're on your phone, but you're not really on your phone.
17
You're just occupé.
18
And you're on your phone, and you're on your phone, and you're on your phone, but in reality, That's not really the case.
19
And so the first mistake I see most people doing
20
and the most clients that I have to come to help them reach their goals, they often have this same problem.
21
They say "Mariam, I want to do this, but I don't know how to do it." I don't know how to lose weight, I don't know how to launch a business, I don't know how to scale my business,
22
so to augment my revenue, to surpass my plafond of verts.
23
I don't know how to meet love, I don't know how to muscle, regardless of the goal you have today.
24
Or, it could be an objective relation, I don't know how to put limits in my relationships.
25
And what you need to understand is that if you were able to know how to do it, everyone will succeed.
26
Ask yourself if you don't have an objective in mind where you know how to do.
27
Maybe you don't have all the answers in the least details, but you have an idea of the actions you should take.
28
It could be, for example, quitter a toxic relationship.
29
It was the case, I was in a toxic relationship, where I knew that I was not happy in this relationship.
30
I knew that this person would make me lose my confidence.
31
I knew that this person would not be the person with whom I would live my life.
32
Because if it was the case, it would be a long term.
33
And I knew that it would have to be a good one.
34
I knew how to quit her.
35
I knew that I had to quit her.
36
I knew that I had to talk with her, that I would say that it was done.
37
So I knew how to do it.
38
I knew how to quit her.
39
No. Maybe today you know you want to lose weight and that to get to lose weight, you need to change your way of eating.
40
Do you do it for the same time?
41
Not necessarily.
42
So I would like to think about that and
43
that you think about other situations in your past where you knew what you were doing, you knew how to solve a problem, how to achieve an objective, but you didn't do it.
44
And there's a very simple reason for that.
45
It's that to start by the "common" is a serious error.
46
What makes the difference between the people who have failed to lose weight and you, or the people who have failed to lose weight and you, is not that they are more intelligent than you.
47
Because really, pose -tie the question: observe the people who have failed to achieve their objectives.
48
Do you really think that these people are more intelligent, more capable, more powerful than you?
49
No. It's simply that they have understood something that you haven't yet understood.
50
And this thing is that, it's not enough to know how to do something.
51
these two things.
52
The first one is Why do you want to do it?
53
Why do you want to do it?
54
Because if you lack alignment, if you lack a "for" enough strong enough, you won't pass it to action.
55
And I guarantee you that I saw it in my own life.
56
I saw the difference between the Mariam who procrastinait, who spoke of her great dreams, who spoke of what she wanted to accomplish,
57
and the Mariam who managed to build a business to more than six figures.
58
Who managed to travel a little bit everywhere in the world, who managed to be able to live the life she wants to live.
59
The Mariam who published more than 3000 videos while she was timidly, maladivement.
60
Who generated hundreds of millions of views on social media. to transform their lives.
61
What is the difference between these two Mariams?
62
The difference, I modelled it in a framework.
63
A framework that I call ACT.
64
A for alignment.
65
Because if you don't have a "why" enough fort, if you don't know why you want to really reach this goal, you won't reach it.
66
You won't wait for it.
67
Or maybe you'll pass it to action, but the next week it will be very banked.
68
Because your why is not enough strong and clear.
69
And the good news is that at all moment, you can clarify your why.
70
You can really start to fix the objectives that are really aligned to you.
71
And when you do that, when you fix the objectives that are aligned, you get it.
72
You get it because there is a real motivation.
73
If you don't have a "pourquoi" enough, you can be in your vehicle, you won't be able to advance for the way.
74
The second pillar is the "C" for conditionnement.
75
And what I hear about conditionnement?
76
It's not necessary to know how to do or why you want to do it.
77
It's necessary to know who you need to become to do it.
78
What you need to understand is that, to be able to become someone you've never been there, it's necessary to become someone you've never been.
79
To reach a destination you never reached, you will need to use a vehicle you never used before.
80
Because, ask yourself the question: can you have different results with the same actions, the same schemas, the same identity?
81
No, you can't.
82
So what do you do to do concretely?
83
What do you do to change concretely?
84
You need to get rid of the old schemes that you've been trained to today.
85
The old version of you who has an identity, who is encring in the pain, in the fear, in the perfectionism,
86
in the hate, who does not act if it's not perfect.
87
Because she has had a loss, because she has been rejected, because she has been humiliated, abandoned.
88
She has fear of reviving these things.
89
And when you get to re -condition, you get to not to be able to break through this perfectionism.
90
You get to be able to release your past and be able to act with power, with force, with confidence in you.
91
You access to a new version of you, a version of you which is much more anc.
92
And the third pillar is T for transcendence.
93
It will be necessary to transcend your emotional state to pass to action. to achieve an objective.
94
If you want to lose weight, if you want to develop your visibility on the social media, if you want to go to a toxic relationship,
95
to meet an amour, if you want to have an objective that you really hold on.
96
And there, there is also a very honest discussion, radical honest, to have with you -même on the sincerity of your objective.
97
Because what I observe, is that there are many people who say "I want to do this, I want to do this, I want to do this, I want to do this, I want to do this, I want to do this,
98
I want to do this, this objective?
99
They negotiate with them.
100
Because in reality, they are not really clear with them if they want to reach this objective or not.
101
Because I'm going to tell you a very hard one.
102
The people who reach the goals you want to reach, they are not more capable than you.
103
They are not more intelligent or more resources than you.
104
It's that they are less close to you to negotiate their objectives.
105
And I would say even that they are not close to negotiate the goal of this objective.
106
When you negotiate this objective, when you negotiate with yourself, they will not negotiate.
107
So they reach their own objective, so they're the death.
108
It's a matter of life or of death for them.
109
So they don't negotiate their own objective.
110
And they don't negotiate the price to pay for reaching their objective.
111
So the question to ask is, is it the objective you want to reach in this moment is really important for you,
112
or is it not you're not negotiating daily with yourself?
113
Because what I observe in my clients, in people who succeed, is that they don't negotiate what is important for them.
114
When something is important for them, They will invest, they will do the necessary.
115
So in this third pillar, you will learn to manage your emotions.
116
You will learn to make sure to not let an emotional emotional moment stop taking action
117
that will allow you to reach an important goal.
118
You will learn to create something that you really want to live in your life.
119
If I'm going to lose 8 kilos, if I'm going to be in the best form of my life, super sainement et à prendre du plaisir dans ce que je fais,
120
à construire ce business, construire cette communauté, c 'est parce que je ne laisse pas des émotions temporaires
121
m 'empêcher de prendre les actions qui vont me permettre de construire l 'empire que je veux créer dans ma vie.
122
Et donc si tu veux aller plus loin, je te laisse découvrir mon programme Mission Discipline que je te
123
mets en lien juste en dessous de ce podcast et qui reprend toute cette méthode ACT beaucoup plus en détail.
124
of the other and expose people on social media, people who have managed to lose weight, to take care of their body,
125
to meet love, all that you desire the most is the other side of your capacity to pass to action, even when you don't want to.
126
But, and that's the most important point I want to share in this podcast, What you want the most is the other side of your ability to stop negotiating.
127
Because as long as you negotiate what you want you will not get what you want.
128
As long as you negotiate what is important for you, you will not get what is important for you.
129
You will manifest this abundance, abundance in love, joy, finance, whatever you want to achieve in your life.
130
You can manifest it.
131
You can manifest it because I'm the proof of life.
132
I was the first to doubt about myself.
133
I was the first to procrastinate.
134
I was the first to all put in a more time and be a part of it persuadés
135
that I was not able to get what I wanted.
136
Because I had so much proof in my daily life It was not possible for me.
137
I was in this identity, this identity of Mariam who cannot succeed.
138
But from the moment you stop negotiating with yourself, "Tout est possible." I hope this podcast has liked.
139
As usual, I send you a lot of love and I'm looking forward to you in the next one.

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
If you’re looking to boost your english speaking practice, this video is a goldmine. The speaker shares personal stories and relatable struggles—like procrastination and self-doubt—creating a natural, conversational flow that’s perfect for shadowspeak (repeating aloud to mimic tone and rhythm). Whether you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or just want to sound more confident, this video’s casual yet passionate delivery helps you master real-world communication. Plus, it’s a great example of how to express complex ideas (like overcoming procrastination) with simple language—key for everyday fluency!
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Let’s break down 3 key structures to level up your speaking:
- "I was the reine of procrastination": Using "the [noun] of [concept]" adds vividness. Try it: "I’m the king of overthinking" or "She’s the queen of quick fixes." It’s a fun way to emphasize traits.
- "It’s not enough to know how to do something": This "it’s not enough to [verb]" structure is perfect for arguing a point. Use it in debates or advice: "It’s not enough to study hard—you need to study smart."
- "What makes the difference between people who succeed and those who don’t": Asking "what makes the difference" is a powerful way to introduce a key idea. Great for IELTS speaking practice when explaining causes or solutions.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Watch out for these tricky words in the video:
- "Procrastination": Pronounce it "proh-kras-tuh-NAY-shun" (not "proh-krast-uh-NAY-shun"). Stress the third syllable to sound natural.
- "Perfectionism": Break it down: "per-FEK-shuh-niz-um." Don’t rush the "fek" part—clear pronunciation here shows confidence.
- "Objective": In the video, it’s used as a noun ("my objective"). Say "uhb-JEK-tiv" (not "ohb-JEK-tiv") to match the speaker’s casual tone.
Practice with a shadowing app to mimic the speaker’s pace and intonation—you’ll notice a difference in your fluency in no time. Remember, learning English with YouTube isn’t just about listening—it’s about speaking along and making the language your own. You’ve got this!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | if it was the case, it would be |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | have failed · have understood · you've never been |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | someone who procrastinated · people who have · you which is |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | was done · are really aligned · are aligned |
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.
