Shadowing Practice: trying the viral 5AM “THAT GIRL” MORNING ROUTINE ☁️ being productive + mindful - Learn English Speaking with Video

I was scrolling through Pinterest and randomly came across that girl morning routine.

So I put together a 5am that girl morning routine after going through multiple morning routines.

Welcome back to a new video.

In today's series, we're going to be doing the 5am that girl morning routine.

Guess what time it is right now.

Just take a wild guess.

It is currently 12.

I don't know why I do this to myself.

I'm only gonna get like five hours of sleep

because this morning routine consists of waking up at 5 a.m I don't be contemplating

if I should do this or not because like I'm just gonna be dead tomorrow You know what?

I'm just gonna do it.

I haven't even gotten ready for bed Okay, if i'm gonna do this I'm gonna get ready for bed

because I literally haven't even taken off my makeup

and it's 12 a.m So let's go to sleep and wake up at 5 a.m tomorrow.

Please send up

you guys it's currently 5 a.m

and i can't get up good morning you guys the first thing i did when

that alarm went off turn it right off my mind was

like there's no way i'm not even kidding i only got two hours of sleep

which i think is not super smart to do it's whatever

i'm just gonna take a nap later i don't want to

get up i'm not even getting i want to sleep for

extra 30 minutes i don't know how somebody can wake up at 5 a.m like every freaking morning

that is like such a discipline

that i just can't do like i can barely wake up

at 9 a.m there's something wrong with me 5 a.m is

just a different level first of all it's dark outside like there's no sunlight

and second i honestly just didn't get enough sleep

so what am i saying i didn't do this at this point

because like is this even okay i'm about two hours of sleep

and i have to do this thing i was just wake up at 5 a.m

which i just did it's currently 5 13

but i'm struggling to get out of it for someone that's

gonna wake up at 5 a.m they have to put their

mind into waking up like it's not like they can just

be like i'm just gonna get up like they gotta really

get up that's the mentality i have to be at

so let's start the day okay this alarm keeps going off and it's making me go insane Also,

can we talk about how freezing it is?

How are you going to push through this?

Through winter time.

That's like the worst.

I'm literally so jealous of anybody that could wake up at 5am every morning because I can't.

I used to be like waking up at 5am, but it was every other day.

Surprised I couldn't even do that.

now we're in the kitchen

because the next thing on the list is to drink a cup of water i'm honestly not

that bad with drinking water when i wake up because i am so thirsty

but throughout the night i'm always drinking water i'm probably not

drinking enough water in a day this is gonna be like great

because i'm at the start of getting to my goal of drinking more water

This is a little too cold It's really waking me up though Okay, I drank all the water There's only a little left

But mine themselves put too much ice Like it's like a special drink

or something It's just water Why do I even eat a bunch of ice?

Like why?

Am I gonna make it ice time?

No next

thing on the list is to make the bed

which i honestly make the bed every morning it's what makes

me feel productive like i actually feel like my room is clean so that's an easy step But for me, I literally do it right when I wake up.

I don't know why I had to do all this extra stuff before that.

Maybe I'm just not the best with coming up with routines.

That's literally like what that girl morning routine would be when I would search up like morning routines and all that stuff.

So it's not me.

That is now done and I feel like so much better

because the room just looks clean and also it doesn't make me want to go back into bed.

So 10 out of 10 recommend doing your bed.

This is something on the list that you should do every day.

Let's pick out a cute outfit because that's what motivates me to do this.

I can't get my hair slick back today.

Like, this is just so ugly.

There's no way I just dropped a bunch of hair ties on the floor.

And they're clear, so it's like, how am I supposed to find that?

I'm not even going to bother.

I'm just going to act like nothing happened.

i just pinched my eye okay now i'm gonna actually stop

wasting time it's now 6 12 i think i'm just like

wasting too much time like i can't just go really fast

and at one pace and just do everything all at once like i just need my time

and i think that's the point of that girl morning routine

because what is the point of being in a rush um don't mind my hair it literally looks

so bad but i just like it out of my face

and hair wash day was yesterday i don't want to use

a wax day on freshly clean hair anyways i'm gonna go grab my yoga mat and we're gonna do some pilates

i just found this 10 minute everyday full body hourglass pilates workout

and it's just beginner friendly

because i'm not a pilates professional i have this video linked down below

if you guys wanted to go check it out

and do it for yourself i'm like low-key hungry right now

and i just want it to be breakfast time okay can you get off

but you have to get off you have to get off

girl i have this diffuser from aloe i'm gonna turn this

on use this chill essential oil to like really relax myself

while i'm doing pilates maybe i should be waking myself up instead of using a chill one

but it's by canopy and a collab with by rosie j and it smells really good Oh oh

You guys, I finished the Pilates workout and I am out of breath, but I'm also feeling really, really, really hungry.

Please tell me the next thing on the list is food because, like, what am I looking for?

Let's just make a healthy breakfast.

100

I would have probably loosed it if there was no breakfast next.

101

Like, if I had a shower next, I would be losing my mind.

102

We're gonna try to make it healthy.

103

Let's see what we can do.

104

I feel like Pilates is just not my thing.

105

I'm more of like a workout person I love to do workouts, but anyways, let's just go eat cuz I'm yapping I think I'm just gonna do oatmeal.

106

This whole thing here's all the benefits I used to have this every single day,

107

but I stopped because I started getting really tired of it Hopefully we even have oatmeal Okay,

108

here's what i'm having for breakfast.

109

I decided to have a banana on the side That's a little bit healthy

110

and then I added some cinnamon on my oatmeal I think I put too much milk

111

because it's not supposed to be like that.

112

At least I don't think so.

113

Oh and i'm also having water Now on the list is to take a quick shower.

114

I didn't even take off my hoodie That's how cold I am and I did a whole pilates workout.

115

How did I even do that?

116

I don't know.

117

But anyway, I need a little bit of a refresh

118

because I kind of feel nasty right now and I just want to be clean So let's go Wait, why do I actually feel so good right now?

119

I feel like waking up at 5 a.m is the most dreadful thing ever

120

which it is the waking up part after doing all of that Like I actually feel good.

121

It's not terrible, but I wouldn't do this every day.

122

Like you will never catch me doing this every single day.

123

I didn't even know how I could do it back then.

124

The only thing I don't like about waking up early is how cold it is.

125

Especially now that it is winter time.

126

Again, I live in Florida, so don't come at me.

127

My thing on the list is to create a to-do list.

128

If I'm being straight honest with you, I literally just want to go to sleep for the rest of the day.

129

But we have to be that girl and we have to actually plan things out.

130

I really don't like doing anything.

131

After doing all of this, like, how am I going to feel like I'm making anything?

132

Oh, I keep forgetting I got two hours of sleep.

133

That's literally why.

134

And I did this to myself, so I can't even say anything.

135

But anyways, let's just do the to-do list.

136

When I'm walking now, I can feel all the rubber bands on the floor.

137

I just don't know where exactly all of them are because it's a white carpet.

138

The last six are literally see-through, so how am I supposed to figure that out?

139

Okay, so I just created the to-do list, and it's very, very little.

140

And there's nothing wrong with that

141

because sometimes we need to take a chill day after not getting enough sleep And like I said, that's on me.

142

Also, I'm wearing shorts.

143

So I am wearing something I just saw that it showed.

144

But anyways, here's my to-do list First one is to go to the store and pick up makeup remover Remover?

145

Like I've been putting this off so much I literally need to just go

146

because I won't have any makeup remover Remover like what?

147

I won't have anything to take off my makeup today Next is editing this morning's video, which is this video

148

so I can get it up for you guys tomorrow I'll probably be doing

149

that for six hours literally half of the day Make sure to subscribe for more videos

150

if you guys want more videos like this.

151

Also, we're almost at 1 million.

152

Like, is that it?

153

That's crazy.

154

And lastly is get a nap for some rest.

155

Don't ask me why this is on the list.

156

It's literally crucial for me to just actually have a good mood the rest of the night.

157

But this doesn't matter because you guys will literally not be seeing any of this.

158

It was on the list, so I had to do this.

159

But I promise you guys I will be doing all of these things.

160

At least going to the store and editing today's video.

161

I don't know about a nap.

162

I might just not get a nap in so that I can fix my sleep schedule.

163

Because it is a mess.

164

Yeah, that's the to-do list.

165

Now let's get ready because that's the next thing on the list.

166

This is probably gonna be one of my favorite parts of this video

167

because I love getting ready and I love yapping I do have a vanity

168

which you guys are on right now

169

And I love it the lighting in here is just

170

so bad Like I need a lamp or something

171

and I did not think of that I have literally no makeup in the store

172

and I decided to get a really good makeup bag

173

that I could just like move around Especially

174

if I'm filming here the lighting in the bathroom is just

175

so bad if I'm gonna do my makeup in there Like on camera it looks bright, but in person It's just like one little light on

176

if I turn all of it on It's gonna look so bad on camera.

177

Literally nobody cares I already have a little bit of makeup on i'm just gonna like touch up

178

and add a lot more because I usually put a lot more makeup on

179

But I obviously don't want to do like a full glam to just sweat and do some workout, which I didn't even sweat Maybe it wasn't even that much of a good workout.

180

I don't know much about pilates Like don't even criticize me, please.

181

Wait, do I like you guys like is right there better?

182

Yeah, it's just that this isn't my good side Whatever.

183

It don't matter.

184

It don't matter.

185

I don't know if you guys have realized I have this like really big ring on my finger, which I don't normally use this type of ring Like I don't use anything chunky, but you guys it's not just a ring.

186

It literally tracks everything you can ever imagine It's the ultra human ring.

187

It's like an aura ring So

188

if you guys don't know what aura ring is It is basically a ring

189

that connects to an app where you can track everything sleep schedule How many steps you're getting in a day period cycle, which is something I really really wanted your heart rate skin temperature It even tracks if you're getting a fever,

190

which I was the other night

191

because I was not getting enough sleep This is me low-key convincing you to get this ring

192

because it's so so nice for the period It will like connect to the clue app, which is just a period app and i've been using

193

that app since I got my period track my cycle

194

So it was just perfect that it can connect to the app

195

and i can just like track everything the reason why i like it is

196

because it tells you the phase that you're in say

197

if you're in your little phase okay i don't even know

198

if i'm saying that right i don't know much about it

199

but i'm just now learning about it because of the app i just love

200

that it tells me if i'm gonna be in a good mood

201

or if i'm gonna be in a bad mood according to my phase

202

because there's different phases that we go to

203

and i definitely should educate myself more about it

204

so i just got the app to make it a lot easier on myself i also love

205

that it tells you how much time of sleep

206

that you got it also tells you what time you should fall asleep

207

so you can get like your full hours of sleep for recovery

208

that is definitely the second most thing i was excited about

209

when i got the ring i was like i need not even

210

that it tells you how many times you tossed and turned

211

while you're sleeping and then also your deep sleep REM sleep

212

when you're awake throughout the night like how does it even track

213

that it also tells you your heart rate mine has been dropping way later than

214

that i don't know much about that

215

so i don't even know why i care

216

but they say it's not good

217

and that's all i need know cracking my sleep was literally the most like exciting part for me

218

because like i just want to know

219

when i'm awake REM sleep deep sleep everything it's just

220

so cool that they can even do that so

221

if you guys literally want to go check it out definitely click the link in the description

222

because you guys are going to not regret getting it

223

and it's a lot cheaper than the aura ring

224

if you guys didn't know the aura ring you have to pay $500 for the ring on top

225

that you have to pay for a subscription that's just a no for me

226

so i had to get the ultra human ring i got it in gold

227

and i'm just obsessed with the gold i'll probably be talking about it a lot more in my videos

228

because i'm obsessed with it but anyways i'm just gonna finish getting ready

229

because i cannot get ready and talk at the same time i keep stopping

230

and i'm doing my whole makeup routine backwards i probably look

231

insane right now like i don't even i look dead so i'm just gonna focus more

232

picked up my outfit and we're gonna do a cute little transition three two one

233

and here's the outfit comfy outfit hopefully that transition was good

234

so i'm wearing this top from garage they've been having really good tank tops like super comfy

235

and then these pants are from airy

236

and they are the perfect loungewear pants like i am upset

237

but i literally think that's all from the list

238

that i have to do okay so we ended this at 8 16

239

but we started it at 5 am so

240

that was pretty fast not gonna lie now i have like

241

the rest of the day to get things done i will say

242

that it is really good with keeping up this routine

243

because you have a lot of time for your own self

244

especially before you start the whole entire day i mean

245

if you have school it's a little bit different now

246

that it's winter break i challenge you to do this the

247

best tip i could give to you to actually get out

248

of bed is just counting from five to one i promise you it will literally help you

249

so much the feeling after is definitely rewarding because like you just did

250

so much and you feel like you accomplish

251

so much before everybody gets up and it's so peaceful

252

and quiet like you can literally do anything you want to work on yourself

253

and i definitely think it's super important to actually take a

254

time of your day to just chill before any craziness

255

or after any craziness whether it be meditating pilates going on

256

a run literally anything will i be doing this again i don't think so

257

because i just genuinely cannot get myself to get up like

258

i just feel like it's really really hard to keep up

259

with the routine for me like i'm not a habit type of person

260

so it definitely is harder for me to keep going with this

261

but maybe here and there i'll film a video like this where i'll wake up at 5 a.m

262

but i don't actually wake up at 5 a.m all the

263

time like it's literally just for the video whenever i'm vlogging it motivates me to actually get out of bed

264

and recently as you guys know i have not been active

265

and now i'm actually being active but before that I was waking up so late.

266

As you guys can tell, my sleep schedule is literally a mess.

267

This is kind of like the start of me maybe fixing my sleeping schedule, even though I didn't get enough sleep.

268

I feel like I could do this routine like once a week.

269

Like not every single day, but once a week.

270

But anyway, hopefully this video motivated you to get up.

271

I'm going to try not to get a nap throughout the day, but it's not promised.

272

Hope you guys enjoyed this video.

273

Make sure to comment down below the candle emoji if you made it up to this point of the video.

274

I love you so much.

275

I will see you guys in the next video.

276

Bye, guys.

277

Bye.

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.
