Hello.
2
I'm trying something new and I'm gonna get my son right out of my face.
3
My face out of the sun.
4
My son out of the face.
5
I thought we could have a little chat here in front of my lemon tree because,
6
I don't know, I was pondering and thinking about how I want to do videos right now in this season.
7
And I feel that my videos have been getting a bit lengthy
8
because there's always so much I want to include in them.
9
and I thought it could be an interesting idea to post like shorter videos every now
10
and then of just talking that way maybe give a little bit more context
11
and like be content for the people that enjoy the catch-ups
12
and the discussions on the talking and kind of like intersperse those between videos
13
that take a lot more time and effort and like include capturing the process of something else.
14
So that's what I'm doing.
15
And the next video, at least I think the next video
16
that I'll be posting is turning my dining room into an art studio.
17
And this is big, okay?
18
Because if you've been watching, you probably have heard me talk about how my art studio,
19
which is a bedroom in our house is just really dark.
20
And I've tried so many different things to get around that
21
and to work with it and to bring things out onto the patio
22
or get my work to fit in like a specific window where the light is okay
23
or get a better artificial lighting situation that doesn't depress me and make me not want to paint.
24
And some of those things I've tried have worked more or less.
25
But I kind of came to this realization recently
26
when I was in my dining room painting because I so often just bring all my supplies into there.
27
It's the best light in the house and there's a big table.
28
And so yeah, I find myself spending a lot of time carting supplies in
29
and out of that room and painting in there.
30
And I thought, why not just turn this into my art studio
31
and bring all my supplies in here to live permanently so
32
that I'm not wasting all this potential painting time moving things back and forth.
33
And the things that I'll need to displace can go in that bedroom.
34
We can use the bedroom for something else.
35
We could use it for storage.
36
So many possibilities that that opens up.
37
And I really do think that I can keep the dining room like a functional dining room and also an art studio.
38
As soon as I told Ethan, he was like, yeah, absolutely do that.
39
That makes so much sense.
40
So I got the green light, we're doing it, and I've been working on it already.
41
It's quite the transition though, and it will take some time.
42
And then another exciting transition that I'm making this year is I'm shifting my hours at work.
43
So this was a similar kind of light bulb moment that I had where, so what I do is I wake up, I go for a run or, you know, take a shower,
44
whatever I'm doing that morning in my morning routine.
45
And I have my quiet time and my mornings are really sacred for me.
46
Like I love the morning.
47
I love having an extended period to just be in the silence, to be by myself, to write,
48
to read, to pray, to do all the good things.
49
Exercise too.
50
I'm like not an afternoon or evening exercise person.
51
Absolutely not.
52
I need the morning energy.
53
Okay, so that's my morning.
54
And then I always just speed off to work.
55
And so it also puts this kind of weird pressure on.
56
I sometimes feel I have to rush my sacred morning time because for whatever reason, I've gotten a later start and I feel I have to speed off to work
57
when I would like to take more time.
58
And then sometimes it's like the inverse and my work suffers
59
because I get there later because I was so insistent that I wanted that morning time.
60
And then also another observation that I've made is that my energy right after that life-giving morning time is so good.
61
Like I have just like a vibrance and an enthusiasm naturally at that time of day.
62
And then I go to work and I paint.
63
So I paint for work.
64
So that's wonderful.
65
And I love it, but it's not the type of paintings that I'm doing for myself.
66
And it's not like my work, if that makes sense.
67
So there's work and then there's my work.
68
And when I go to work, I'm using those vital hours where I'm the most energetic
69
and I'm the most inspired and like refreshed
70
and I'm using them on something that doesn't necessarily need
71
that part of me because that type of painting is a lot more routine.
72
I paint the same thing a lot over and over or
73
when I paint landscapes there it is very much like I'm told what to paint
74
so I get to decide how I interpret that landscape
75
but I am painting what the customer and so I don't really need inspiration in the same way.
76
So I just realized I was like misallocating my resources.
77
I was trying to paint in a dark room when I had a perfectly good bright room.
78
And I was trying to, well, I guess I didn't finish that story.
79
So when I'd get home from work, that energy would be gone, right now it's late afternoon getting into evening
80
and I have no longer have that inspiration that vitality
81
that creativity where I'm like wanting to work on my own paintings
82
so that's been a huge struggle for me for a long time
83
so anyway yes I was using a dark room
84
when I had a light room I was using these hours where I'm more sluggish
85
and not inspired for my own art where I kind of need more of that energy and excitement.
86
So it's not that I don't have what I need.
87
It's just that it's all jumbled up, you know, it's misallocated.
88
And I thought of a good parallel or metaphor or analogy.
89
I don't know.
90
We were playing this game that my mom got for Christmas.
91
It's called Uzzle, I think, like puzzle without the P.
92
And basically, it's kind of like a survivor puzzle where you see, everyone sees at the same time what the puzzle is meant to look like,
93
and we all are working with the same blocks that have symbols on each side.
94
And you have to try to make yours look like the picture, and whoever gets it fastest wins.
95
So as you're working on it, there are multiple ways where you can get it almost right,
96
but I'm pretty sure in every case there's only one way where you can fully get it right.
97
So you would have part of the puzzle built and you kind of grow attached to that part,
98
that those pieces, that those symbols were all correct.
99
And you feel this resistance to having to dismantle it even after you realize in order to win
100
and actually solve the puzzle fully, I'm going to need to dismantle what I've already built.
101
Because even though it's right for part of the puzzle,
102
actually having those pieces where they are is preventing me from solving the puzzle for every single piece.
103
So really what I have is just a half-built puzzle.
104
And as I was thinking about that aspect of the game.
105
I kind of thought that that's what life is like, especially in these instances where we're trying to like, put our lives together like a puzzle,
106
put the hours of our day together like a puzzle.
107
And sometimes I feel like I can't move it around because part of it works so well.
108
Like there are aspects of me going to work first thing in the morning or,
109
you know, after my morning routine that work well and that just makes sense.
110
And so I think that's why I've never really thought to change it
111
because even though it completely screwed the rest of my day, essentially,
112
it felt like an immovable piece like well I gotta somehow
113
figure out the rest of the puzzle without moving this
114
because it's necessary when all along
115
if I just flipped it maybe I could build it a different way
116
so I hope that illustration was like shining more light on this idea rather than obscuring it. But yeah.
117
So I share this story
118
because I think I'm going to make a whole video about turning my dining room into an art studio.
119
And I want you guys to have the story behind that and to know why I'm making that decision.
120
And to possibly ask yourself, is there something you could shift in your own life?
121
Is there something you could shift about your workspace or your schedule
122
that you've kind of been blind to that you haven't considered
123
that might make it easier or more exciting
124
or even just add like a freshness like a fresh start feeling
125
that I think really benefits our artwork because it makes us feel excited again
126
and inspired and yeah so I just thought I'd share
127
that um let me know if you like this format I'm just like a short chat
128
and maybe I'll do more of them
129
because I know I threw around the idea of doing a podcast
130
and this is kind of like that
131
so I don't know another thing I'm embracing is just trying things out instead of coming up with an idea
132
and being married to that idea I'd like to feel comfortable just trying things
133
and seeing what works and what doesn't and same goes for this dining room art studio video idea.
134
Like there's a chance it won't work and that in my mind it's way better than it will be in real life, but I'll never know unless I try it.
135
So that's my encouragement to you.
136
Try something new this week and let me know what it is in the comments or maybe drop some ideas.
137
I cannot wait to hear what you guys are up to and the changes that you're going to make.
138
See you next time.
139
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.
