Практика Shadowing: I ruined my hair and I love it - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

first of all let's just ignore the fact

that I actually look crazy other than

that the title of this video is very true I completely damaged my healthy hair

and it was somehow the best decision

that I could have done I'm not telling you to go

and damage your hair please don't do that

that was also not my intention

so what happened basically I had very healthy black hair

and what happened is I just wanted to go blonde

and I wanted to go blonde in one session now

if you go from box dyed black hair to blonde it is damaged to fail

because they're gonna bleach it

and with bleach there might be broken off pieces your hair

literally fries up it all depends on how well your hair is gonna handle it

and my hair didn't handle it well at all first thing

that happened is I have to chop off this like this length of my hair it's really long

because when she removed all the foil after bleaching it guys i swear to god

that part of my hair looked like it was from horses

you know horse food that's wet that's what it looked like like i was shocked

when i saw it i was all like scrunched up like this

so immediately she had to cut this also a lot of breakage

so on this side as you can see these short pieces here they were all long hair

but they all broke off and that is what i had to deal with

because i was

so stubborn this lady told me she was like liz you're not gonna walk out with hair

if you do this

and i was like i do not care i just want to have blonde hair also

when she cut away these lower pieces i swear to god i felt like she was cutting away

so much memories of mine like it was such a weird feeling i started getting tears in my eyes

but honestly i felt so much lighter afterwards even though i literally looked in the mirror

and i looked at my sister

and i was like oh no i look like a karen

now like i'm done i said to sabina i'm done what's

the point of life anymore let's get into why this was the best decision of my life

and how i think it might help some of you guys so basically when that happened I had two choices.

I could either be sad and play the victim

and be like oh what does this woman do to my hair

or I could think like how am I gonna fix this.

I'll give myself like three months to fix this hair because I need to fix this.

Luckily for me I've always had a mindset where

when a problem arises the first thing that I think is how can I fix this problem.

I've been this ever since I was young.

I would always see solutions I wouldn't see problems.

I also read a quote today that said what differentiates successful people is how they react to bad news.

It's so true.

Successful people that I know, they all have the same mindset of how can we fix this the most efficient and fastest way possible.

So right before this happened to my hair, I was in really a weird position in life where I was kind of getting everything that I wanted,

but I fell into a big comfort zone

but i didn't really have passion anymore for anything

or like a desire to really do anything anymore

and i remember even asking god like god please like i want like fire back i want passion back as

that this happened to my hair

and i thought like oh my god god are you playing

with me what is this for me the process of now doing hair care constantly

and like oiling my hair consistently all of these things is

so much fun to me because daily i see my hair improving

and i'm seeing that daily i'm getting closer

and closer to my goal i think

that we as humans we need to understand that

when you arrive where you thought that you wanted to arrive

that is not the happiness the happiness is in the progress for example

if you go to the gym and you're like trying to get jacked

and you're trying to get muscles when that process of you getting those muscles

and they're growing and growing that is what is going to give you the most motivation

and happiness you know it's also so funny

that sometimes we ask god for something

and it comes like in the weirdest way what we want

comes with a terrible breakup it comes with losing a job it comes with like incredible hardship losing a friendship

but then at the end of that you get what you wanted

but you just didn't get it in the way

that you thought you would get it

but you just have to trust the process and i think

that is that is the most important thing

because i got what i prayed for i have passion again i have fire again did i anticipate

that i was going to completely damage my hair no also i feel like people only really change

when they have no other choice

because i was even talking with my husband about this about you want to help people

and you can help them in this way and blah blah

and i was like you know what i learned from always trying to help people in my life is

that you can never help them unless they want to change

you will never be able to change anyone unless it comes from within them that's why

when people come up to me

and they're like oh liz you changed my life i'm like no you changed your own life

and you chose to follow any advice

that i gave i saw this quote from joe dispensa where

he said how bad does your life have to get in order for you to change i feel like

when people are really done with themselves that's when they really change

when people are done with the disrespect they're allowing to get from someone that's

when they leave the person when people are done with feeling heavy every day waking up

and not feeling great about their body that is

when they change like you can tell them anything you can

tell your friend leave leave leave like he's not good to you

or she's not good to you they will never leave unless it clicks in their head

that oh my god i deserve better than this

or like oh my god i deserve to feel

so good about my body and i am gonna put in discipline to achieve

that body unless they make

that switch it's never going to happen i just think it's

important to always stay very positive i've been always a very

100

positive person in my life whenever i saw any circumstances

101

that i didn't like i always thought yeah

102

but i can fix this even delusionally but i do always fix it

103

so it works somehow i remember i went to this hairdresser after what happened with my hair

104

and when i went to this hairdresser i sat down

105

and she looked at my hair she goes like oh my god who did this to you

106

and i go like oh this uh woman did this blah blah at this other salon

107

and she goes like whoa okay then what i didn't like is

108

when i sat back down she went like you know i would be

109

so unhappy if i was you

110

and i looked at her I was like huh I was like why

111

and then she goes like yeah

112

because your hair is never gonna get better like this is gonna continue breaking off

113

and then I looked at her

114

and at this point I had really been working on my hair care

115

and it was already so much better than what it was

116

when I left that salon and I looked at her

117

and I thought to myself what a negative mindset you have

118

like it must be hard for you to go through life like this

119

because first of all how did

120

that help me right now you're just making me feel bad about myself

121

and about my hair and on top of that

122

if you think like that about circumstances in your life

123

and you think

124

that whatever happened is never going to get better how are you ever going to evolve

125

or how are you ever going to reach your goals

126

so i just walked out of there i didn't really say

127

anything my sister was like let's go back let's go say

128

like let's go put it in her place whatever i was

129

like no i'm not going to say anything i think

130

that for me i still walked out of there thinking no i'm going to fix this

131

and i think you should have the same mentality you know oftentimes

132

when you want to lose weight or you want to change something about yourself

133

and you just really want to do what's best for you

134

a lot of people around you are going to tell you

135

that what you're doing is not right and you shouldn't do

136

that and this and that but in

137

that moment you should still stick to your plan that's it

138

all the other people outside they're not living your life they're

139

not in your shoes they don't know how miserable you feel

140

so whatever you do to better yourself to make yourself happier do

141

that and and really stand in that

142

and see the way you fix things is you have to

143

come up with a plan i was reading this book

144

and they said you write your problems down you've already solved 50 of it

145

because now they're in front of you

146

and they're basically organized on a paper okay

147

so what i did for example with my hair is okay

148

i immediately came up with a plan how do i fix

149

this hair how do i grow hair okay i start hair oiling i i look into supplements

150

that can grow the hair

151

or even foods foods that are beneficial for the hair

152

and guys before my hair was damaged my nails

153

if i go like this would break off completely

154

because i wasn't getting enough protein this one thing

155

that i focus on see what you should do now focus on

156

that one thing that you're trying to fix

157

and then everything else will fall in line

158

because now everything else is also changing my skin looks way

159

better way more glowy i have more energy during the day like all these other things started to change

160

because i'm focusing on changing one thing it doesn't have to be

161

that difficult consistency is also the biggest key that's how everything changes

162

because before i used to do a little hair care

163

but it didn't really matter because i used to just stop

164

so i do this for five days

165

and then i just stop with whatever hair oiling i'm doing

166

and i'm like whatever move on i don't care

167

but now i cannot stop i just have to do it consistent

168

because i know otherwise i will never fix this problem

169

so consistency is what will get you where you need to go even

170

if it's a small thing

171

that you do let's say you you want to go to the gym consistently

172

and one day you go and you didn't have a great workout

173

but it was only 10 minutes great already did 100 more than

174

if you didn't do it okay so think like

175

that see it doesn't matter about how long

176

or whatever you do it matters that you show up it matters

177

that you do something consistently it's also

178

so funny how like small all decisions can change your entire life

179

because right now I have a completely different routine that I'm following every single day consistently.

180

Also, my hair made me confirm to me that I wanna move places

181

because i live in a place that i absolutely love the time

182

that i was there but i always had this feeling i want to move now

183

because i miss like greenery i miss nature

184

and the one of the parts

185

that pushed me over the edge is also the water water like quality is very important for your skin

186

and for your hair

187

and i think that's true luxury is having good air it's having good water

188

and i just realized that okay i'm gonna move

189

and i already planned my move i am moving um

190

because i want to go to a place

191

that has a lot of greenery that has good water it's just

192

so funny that even that decision was made by something

193

so small it's so crazy how like small decisions can change our entire world

194

and our entire reality like you breaking up with a person

195

and that's it now you're in a completely different reality with different people around you

196

and it's all even funnier to me that once you end like a relationship or friendship

197

or like work with someone you never really encounter them anymore

198

it's almost like they don't exist in this world anymore i

199

think it's very important to appreciate things in the moment um i never really appreciated

200

that i had very beautiful hair oh

201

and people would always tell me like can you do a hair care routine

202

or salons would always compliment me on my hair

203

and I would always think like it's just normal my hair just normal I wouldn't really think anything of it but now

204

that I look back I was thinking oh no my hair

205

was very beautiful I think it's important to appreciate the things

206

that we have now and be grateful for it they often say

207

that you know when you're healthy you have all these goals

208

and when you lose your health your only goal is to get healthy

209

and yeah I think that every day we do have things to be grateful for

210

and instead of looking at the negative things we can also mention things to be grateful for

211

so that they can amplify you know the more problems you seek out on a daily basis

212

that you have the more those problems will amplify but

213

if you wake up your day and say oh it's such a beautiful day

214

and i had great sleep

215

and thank you god for giving me great sleep you will have more of

216

that and it just you'll have a more blessed heart i think it's important to stay being kind to yourself

217

and also just you know compliment yourself

218

and say like i love you i love you my beautiful

219

body i love you my beautiful hair um i love you my beautiful heart you know

220

and especially compliment your heart guys

221

because i feel like a lot of you guys have such a pure heart

222

and there isn't a lot of

223

that in the world i see a lot of people

224

that are very hate driven and have a lot of hate in their hearts

225

so if you have a heart

226

that really just does wants to do good in life of course you're not perfect

227

but you your intention is to do good in life then

228

i should think you should really compliment yourself for it

229

and just be like you know what i'm happy i don't understand the people

230

that do me dirty i'm happy that i don't understand people

231

that hate because you don't have to carry all

232

that hate to bed at night and they do so yeah i think that's very important to compliment yourself

233

and to be kind to yourself and to others anyways guys i love you

234

so much um i hope this helped um

235

and yeah i love you guys so much and i'll see you next video bye

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
