Hello.

Здравствуйте.

I am so excited for today's topic because it's been brewing in my mind for

Я так рад сегодняшней теме, потому что она зрела у меня в голове уже довольно давно.

probably two months and I have a few videos

вероятно, два месяца, и у меня есть несколько видео

that I've been brewing in my mind for about two months

который я обдумывал в своей голове около двух месяцев.

but I've been like waiting to get to the point where

но я всё ждал, когда наступит тот момент, когда

I feel like I have a conclusion on these topics

Мне кажется, я пришёл к выводу по этим темам.

and despite not having like a conclusion conclusion I know how to communicate the idea

и несмотря на то, что у меня нет какого-то окончательного вывода, я знаю, как донести эту идею.

and the thing that I want to talk about is being yourself.

И то, о чём я хочу поговорить, — это быть собой.

It is such a broad concept and growing up people are just like a lot of people,

Это настолько широкое понятие, и когда ты растешь, ты просто такой же, как и многие другие люди.

celebrities are like what would you tell somebody who wants to

Знаменитости — это как… что бы ты посоветовал человеку, который хочет…

pursue their dreams or wants to be where you are right now

стремятся к своим мечтам или хотят оказаться на твоём месте прямо сейчас

or what would you tell people who are struggling

and a lot of the time people say be yourself right

and I've always heard that I'm like okay like heard a million times before whatever

but this year I finally started taking

that personally like I started making it a personal mission to be myself

and that has never been a mission before

because I always was trying to be a version of myself that pleased whoever I'm with.

So I would change myself at least slightly to be like tolerable to whatever person I'm with,

whether that be friends or relationship or acquaintances or whatever I'm just trying to come off as

not too much um tolerable and pleasant okay

so these things were my priority not who does name

I want to be in this moment what do I feel like doing right

now it was always about other people and I recently decentered that and

that came obviously after doing a lot of self -discovery the reason I'm making this video right now is

because I just watched a Miley Cyrus oh you're kidding there's I really hope that's not here.

The leaf blower.

I'm just going to talk loud because this is important.

I just watched a Miley Cyrus documentary about her bangers controversial era.

I recently had the privilege of going to the Hannah Montana premiere.

Okay.

She was right in front of my face.

She was directly in front of me and I have loved that woman since I was a wee kid.

Okay.

I used to wear her wigs and sing her songs

and dance like crazy and tell people in elementary school

и танцевать как сумасшедший, и рассказывать об этом ученикам начальной школы

that she was my cousin like I adore Hannah Montana

and I recently saw her in the flesh

and I saw something in her

that I haven't seen probably since I was a kid like something

that I admired about her a lot

and it was her her shamelessness like she is

so proud to be who she is

and she said nobody taught her to be like

that this is who just who she is and

but who she is is herself right

she doesn't let other people dictate how she acts what she says what she looks like what anything

she has never let anyone dictate anything she has always prioritized fun

and being herself and expressing herself and that is what has made her life

so vibrant and in the premiere she talks about how lucky she is to be in the position

that she's in and how grateful she is

that she even has this spot and it's because she's lived

so much of her life authentically like no matter how controversial something may have been she was proud of it

and she owned it because it was what she felt like doing in the moment okay

and that's something that inspired me a lot as a kid but obviously

that sparkle dulled as I started caring about what people perceived

about me obviously as we all do I feel like at a certain age we become conscious

and we're like oh wait I shouldn't be myself

because it causes this problem or I shouldn't be like this

because it's weird and they will judge me or I shouldn't say

that or I shouldn't talk about this we just learn how to mute ourselves until we are adults

that literally can't even find what we like and who we are.

So self -discovery is like very hard sometimes

and like even like knowing who you are is very difficult

but like I said I've recently made it my mission

and I've discussed this before it's after seeing so many women be authentically themselves and be adored for it okay.

So for example, Alyssa Liu,

she just recently won the gold medal for figure skating in the Olympics.

And she retired from skating before this to find out what she liked, to find out what her interests are,

because her whole life was this thing that was controlled and dictated by other people.

Like, her skating career beforehand was like she was told what

to eat what to wear what music to dance to how how often to practice whatever

so she retired she left figure skating behind

and decided to pursue her interests and find out what she likes

and who she is and whatever

and then she ended up coming back to the sport fully owning every aspect of it

and coming out on top but

while having fun doing it like it happened with fun and

if you haven't seen her performance please look it up I have watched it several times just

because it's so beautiful to see her in her joy

and fully do something that she loves

and not for the sake of I hope everyone likes this or for even like the sake of the sport.

She was just having fun putting on a performance for everyone to see.

She was just having fun.

Same thing with Miley Cyrus.

Another thing, Amaya from Love Island.

If these are concepts or things that you've never heard of, I'm sorry, but Amaya from Love Island,

she was a very bubbly personality and was on the island considered too much,

but to the rest of America that was watching, everyone adored her.

She ended up becoming America's favorite because of how authentic she was.

And that is such a beautiful thing to possess.

I fortunately am around a lot of people who are very unapologetically themselves.

It takes a lot of bravery and authenticity to make it in an industry like this,

but also to maintain maintain your position in an industry like this, like social media.

And anybody who has ever blown up,

okay, become a celebrity, or has ever been successful,

has been unapologetically themselves in one way

or another lady gaga beyonce like people they find out what they like

and go full force and do it

100

and it doesn't have to be entertainment obviously the point is

101

that finding out who you are and doing what you like is the purpose

102

that is what the point is is to be yourself more

103

and more every day

104

because then you live the most incredible life the most incredible like fulfilling successful life

105

because you are being yourself and when you are yourself everything

106

that aligns with who you are comes to you and

107

so everything fits perfectly like it's a puzzle okay so how does one be themselves how does one

108

how did I go about this mission of how can I be myself it was through trial

109

and error and being willing to be afraid

110

or embarrassed at the expense of being myself because not being myself hurts me more than being myself.

111

If I'm myself and it hurts, at least I was myself.

112

So I was at least a little bit more comfortable, you know, but if it hurts and I wasn't myself, it is like double bad.

113

So I started practicing little by little, like if I don't, I always want to be polite, right?

114

If I don't feel like smiling, I'm not smiling.

115

Okay. If, if my body's telling me I need to sit down away from everyone

116

i'm gonna go sit down away from everyone

117

and i just cross my fingers and hopes that and hope

118

that nobody takes it the wrong way and I keep testing it

119

and testing it and testing it and testing it

120

and um oh my god I hope that that's not too loud I'm

121

so sorry um I keep testing it

122

and seeing how much I can get away with and every time I am met with no danger

123

I am met with no danger like it it always has not mattered

124

that I end up doing the thing that was true to me

125

and that comes with setting boundaries um having conversations with people

126

that I otherwise would not have because I was too afraid of like losing them or whatever

127

every time that I was myself every time I had an authentic conversation or communicated how I felt it made everything stronger.

128

It has made everything stronger rather than letting everything live in my mind

129

and having so much tension and like regret and embarrassment and insecurity and being myself.

130

I started to be myself in my actions more bravely over

131

and over and over and over again until I kind of became used to it

132

and I am so me like I am I get

133

so hyper I get so excited I get so happy um

134

and I get loud and I make a lot I'm a very expressive person

135

and I'm a very active listener and there are certain things I do

136

that like other people don't do that I used to be embarrassed about

137

but now I'm like very glad that they are my qualities

138

because that's what makes me me okay like I'm gonna be

139

me for the rest of my life what makes me me and obviously

140

because I'm me the more I'm me honestly the more

141

I like myself I think I didn't like myself the most

142

when I didn't let myself be who I am Whenever I was clouded by what people said about me

143

or what people would say to me or what people would do to me

144

or my environment or toxicity or whatever it is, I would not allow myself to be who I am.

145

And that caused a lot of negative thinking.

146

It caused a lot of self -destruction and it caused a lot of insecurity and depression.

147

And it was not a life I like to live.

148

Okay.

149

It was not, it was not pleasant for a very long time.

150

And recently I went sober like over a year ago and I have come, I had to become comfortable in my own skin.

151

I had to be comfortable being in social situations with no buffer.

152

Okay.

153

Going to parties, seeing hundreds of people with no buffer dancing all night with no embarrassment

154

and just putting myself out there more often and more often more often

155

and practice really does make perfect and the little things

156

that I would do no matter how small the thing is okay

157

it literally could be like I just feel like having like a resting face right

158

now instead of smiling really hard because I want the other person not to think

159

that I am mad at them or something like there's

160

so many ridiculous things that I find myself doing

161

because I want to make sure the other person is comfortable

162

but more often than not they are very understanding like human beings are very understanding

163

and also when a human being sees you be yourself they feel more comfortable being themselves

164

and the walls feel like they drop the judgment is not there

165

and I love I love being that person I love being a vessel for

166

that I love that this is a journey that I started

167

because I know it is one that inspires because it inspires me

168

so much to see people be who they are and be who they are so proudly.

169

And I have recently owned the things that I am.

170

And it's very weird because I've done a lot of like self -love talk

171

and manifestation talk on this channel and like how much I love myself and prioritize my well -being and blah blah blah.

172

But there are a lot of things I didn't come to accept until very recently about myself

173

and it has be it is literally

174

because I made it my mission to be myself I'm not kidding okay so for example I never considered myself

175

a pretty person before a few months ago i'm sorry

176

if that's loud um or even a nice person and it was

177

because i always felt bad saying these things to myself

178

because it i feel like there's been like this thing of like it's stuck up for women to think

179

that about themselves and it's better for people to be humble

180

so i literally would not even entertain those kind of thoughts whenever they would arise

181

or even embody that mindset of course i would say oh like of course i believe i'm beautiful

182

and i believe i'm a good person but it wasn't something that i really

183

acknowledged in my inner world that like i am a nice person

184

and it's okay to think that i'm a nice person um i am pretty

185

and it's okay to think

186

that i am pretty like it doesn't make me vain it is just acknowledging that I love myself, that I like myself and I love myself.

187

And so I started allowing myself to tell myself these things.

188

Like I gave myself permission finally to like myself.

189

And it is so crazy how quickly these little things can add up because it may sound so insane,

190

but I used to not be able to like look at myself in the mirror

191

and now I look in the mirror and I'm like oh my god I'm

192

so gorgeous like oh woke up gorgeous again like it's crazy it sounds

193

so crazy um but it is so it feels amazing it feels incredible to acknowledge

194

like what I love about who I am and along with

195

that obviously I've made it just in being nicer to myself

196

I've made a lot of other discoveries about my personality I used to think my personality was really weird

197

or off -putting or um I don't know like just just really weird like

198

I don't want to be myself too much just

199

so I don't make other people uncomfortable that was obviously something learned through trauma

200

and stuff but now I am so proud of my mindset

201

and my perspective on things and how I speak and like how I show up for people and like I feel like

202

embarrassment is now something that I'm not super scared of

203

and I would rather be embarrassed than and shrink myself and

204

that is not a thing

205

that I adopted before like there are there are several moments where now I speak up versus staying quiet

206

or like join a conversation whenever I want to join a conversation

207

or walk up to people that are already having conversation

208

and like these are things

209

that I used to avoid just for the sake of like oh I don't want to be embarrassed in case

210

like I don't know they don't want to talk to me or what I say isn't acknowledged or whatever

211

212

and I let myself be the center of attention that's something

213

I also would not allow myself to do is like I never I didn't have a quinceanera

214

because I didn't want to be the center of attention I hated the idea of attention um

215

because I was so insecure and I was judged

216

so heavily in middle school that I was like in high school

217

that I was like oh my god please no party with

218

eyes on me please no like that's like my biggest nightmare I don't want that

219

So I'm now learning, like, I actually want to be comfortable being perceived.

220

That is something that I want to have on my belt as I grow older.

221

Like, I want that to be in my toolbox is being comfortable being perceived.

222

Because that always leads to a more beautiful life,

223

more opportunities, richer friendships and connections and just everything, right?

224

I saw recently a video of a woman talking about fame energy and famous people energy.

225

And what she said is famous energy is comfort in being perceived.

226

It's relentless presence without a fear of being perceived.

227

It's being, being present in who you are with no restrictions while be being perceived.

228

So that is the it factor for celebrities, right?

229

And I'm like, I want to have that.

230

I want to have that quality.

231

I want to have the ability to, to be perceived and not be scared of it

232

and not shrink away so the only way to get better at

233

that is to practice

234

and guys trust me i did i would fall flat on my face

235

sometimes like i would like be like i really like your outfit and the person just looks at me like

236

And I'm like, oh, okay.

237

But it's better that I spoke up rather than say nothing because not being myself feels worse.

238

And what was I going to say about failing, falling on my face?

239

Now, when I do fall on my face, when I face a situation and it doesn't go the way

240

that I anticipate it to go because I'm being myself and it's like a new thing.

241

Like, for example, like walking up to people and then they suddenly disperse just because whatever.

242

I go and find my thing.

243

I now am learning to navigate situations like going wrong or going awry or situations just going naturally.

244

Okay.

245

Situations being unpredictable is now okay with me because I am practicing putting myself in there.

246

And then when the unpredictable happens, I'm like, okay, now I can figure out what to do.

247

And then I figure out what to do and everything ends up being okay.

248

Because all I have to do is ask myself, what do I want to do?

249

Do I want to go get a glass of water?

250

Do I want to go draw in my journal?

251

Do I want to go back home?

252

I don't know.

253

There's like, I'm being very broad with this and I hope that it's like making sense,

254

but what I want to do is most important all the time.

255

And I was just taking notes on the Miley Cyrus documentary.

256

Let me actually, um, read you some of the things that I took notes on because I believe they would be helpful.

257

Um, she said, don't be afraid to make anything because it could turn out to be a gem.

258

What's important is you loving it.

259

Um, continue to do what you want, how you want.

260

That's what Pharrell told

261

Miley in her process of finding out who she is.

262

Her like, her short hair era where it was dyed blonde he said yes to everything she wanted to do

263

because he wanted her to really find out what her interests are

264

and what her likes are and only

265

that way are you really able to find your sound

266

and like how you want to navigate things so he gave her permission

267

and actually encouraged like do what you want how you want to do it period

268

and now you are the boss of your life

269

you can tell yourself to do what you want how you want to do it

270

and everything else will fall into place um

271

she she is like i just want to have fun i don't want to have fun

272

and she said

273

if you're about to drown you're gonna swim you're gonna learn

274

you're gonna start kicking your feet you're gonna learn she said this regarding

275

when things go wrong or when negative negativity happens or hate happens or whatever if really just goes to shit.

276

She's like, if you're drowning, you're going to swim, you're going to kick your feet, you're going to learn.

277

So no matter what, she knows it's going to be okay.

278

Even at the worst case scenario, we naturally innately within ourselves will, will get ourselves out of that scenario,

279

help ourselves out of that scenario because we have survival instincts.

280

So it is very comforting to hear such like a hear a perspective like

281

that on negative situations because I feel like we avoid them at all costs

282

but we don't really acknowledge how often we've gotten out of like rock bottom

283

we've gotten out of rock bottom plenty of times

284

and have come out better people and

285

so it's okay to go toward the thing that's scary

286

because you're gonna learn how to navigate it

287

and you might as well do that

288

if it's authentic to what you want to do um she said i'm not scared

289

or insecure about anything i'm used to people judging me

290

and knocking me down so i'm used to getting back up

291

and her saying that she's used to it personally hit for me

292

because i am also like i have never used it in

293

that way i've never i've never thought about negativity in

294

that way like people being negative towards me or treating me bad or whatever.

295

I've never considered myself used to it or getting used to knocking down, getting knocked down.

296

But the truth is like, my life has been so turbulent that I am like,

297

I know what falling down looks like and feels like I know what negativity looks like and feels like.

298

And I have survived every single punch

299

and I have gotten up every single time so her saying

300

so I'm used to getting back up is like I like putting it in like

301

or being able to relate to that is really good for this particular journey because it's like, it's true.

302

We get back up every time.

303

Um, I'm just smiling, having fun, living life.

304

Like literally her having fun is the most important thing to her.

305

And that is also the attitude

306

that I've been applying towards

307

this entire journey too is like how can I have more

308

fun how can I be more me like what am I going to do

309

that makes me happy right now even if it makes everyone around me upset

310

if it doesn't make them happy if it makes them disappointed

311

because truly this is my life

312

and everyone will get a better version of me whenever

313

I do what I want to do what I love to do

314

and how I want to do it because the more I restrict myself

315

or bend myself backwards to make other people happy I am not the best version of myself

316

and the more that I've been prioritizing myself

317

and my energy I am like ecstatic to be around my friends

318

and love my friends and call my friends

319

and hang out with my friends and show them love

320

and support and it's not for no reason it's

321

because I am letting myself do that I'm copying what I do with myself with everyone around me,

322

you know, like I it is so in my nature to do it that when I'm around others,

323

all I want to do is uplift and show them the beauty

324

that they possess and how wonderful they are and how wonderful who they are is.

325

And that is all I want to encourage.

326

It's not all I want to encourage, but it's something I really want to encourage in this lifetime is like,

327

I hope I get to meet as many people as I can

328

and tell every single one of them how much their existence means like how incredible

329

this person is how incredible what this person does is

330

and I am very fortunate to to like I I live in a house full of loving adoring incredible people

331

that are just as uplifting and encouraging and we list our gratitudes every day

332

and we call each other like beautiful names

333

and are always hyping each other up

334

and telling each other what's wonderful about each other and

335

because of that I'm able to spread it even further and wider

336

and I'm getting to practice who I really am like who

337

I am is I want to I don't want people to hide their flaws

338

I want people to know that their flaws are perfect and that you being who you are is perfect.

339

You being who you are is perfect because, because I wish I had that.

340

Um, but it wasn't even when people tried to tell me that I didn't believe it.

341

So it's like something I hope to share energetically.

342

It's something that I hope to, I just hope that I can love well enough that that just naturally comes out of my existence,

343

that people want to be themselves or people want to love themselves more or people have a better day um

344

sorry I'm getting a little emotional um like it really is a dream come true to make

345

people happy and that's something that I can also acknowledge without shame

346

which like beforehand I feel like it sounds like very cocky

347

but truly like it is like it's like my favorite thing like

348

Maya Cyrus for example she's like I love making people laugh

349

like I always want to be the goofy silly one

350

I want to get as many laughs as possible around the room

351

so she has just been funny since she was a kid gaggy since she was a kid

352

and it's still her goal because she loves to entertain

353

and for me it's just that I love spreading joy

354

and love I love making people smile I love um elevating someone's mood I love um making people feel better

355

or good about themselves

356

or just like good about their existence I love giving people different perspectives on how incredible they are

357

because I don't know like that's just that's just what makes me really really really happy

358

and I almost like challenge myself

359

to do it even better every day

360

because there truly aren't words to express how wonderful i think everyone around me is

361

and i can try my best to express it with my words

362

and my actions and like encouragement and whatever

363

but it really will never no matter what i do it will never be enough

364

because an existence cannot be boiled down to words.

365

It cannot be described.

366

Like how incredible a person is, how incredible you are, cannot be described.

367

It is otherworldly and let alone several people around me.

368

Like trying to do it for one person, trying to do it for everyone so I can only do my best every single day.

369

And I try to get better

370

and better just by practicing at like trying to really lay out how incredible every life is

371

and how incredible everyone is doing and how you trying your best is amazing

372

and perfect and who you are is amazing and perfect and

373

that really all that matters

374

and what will bring

375

you joy is being yourself shamelessly being every version of you the bad the ugly the hard

376

and difficult the beautiful happy every single part of yourself deserves equal love

377

and only after embracing my dark bad ugly side

378

and considering it beautiful as part of the beautiful even

379

if it feels bad or goes wrong

380

or whatever all of it is beautiful I have learned

381

that it's all beautiful and every bad has made me every bad has turned into good

382

so it is part of the beautiful there is no good life without bad life

383

so considering like the bad parts of me as just who I am

384

and it's fine and I love it I love who I am I love

385

that I'm like like a little like mentally unstable sometimes like whatever who cares it's who I am

386

and I'm just trying my best out here and it's okay that I'm trying my best out here.

387

Like, I'm not perfect and I actually love that I'm not perfect.

388

I love that I can be relatable in any sense.

389

Like, I love that I almost want people to...

390

How do I describe this?

391

I want to be so shameless that other people feel more comfortable being all of themselves.

392

I don't know how to explain this.

393

Like me giving myself permission to be embarrassed and look goofy might inspire somebody else to be like,

394

oh wait, like that's okay when she does it.

395

So maybe it's okay if I do it.

396

Hold on.

397

Oh my god, the noises.

398

It is so crazy how many times I've done that.

399

Like, I will look at somebody being themselves, love it about them, and be like, okay, so it's okay when they do it.

400

Maybe it's okay if I do it.

401

Maybe it's more than okay if I do it.

402

and it is very amazing having these examples around me

403

I know not everyone is as lucky to to have such authentic examples around them

404

but a huge thing I mean I'm looking at celebrities who are themselves I'm watching

405

Lady Gaga interviews I'm watching

406

Miley Cyrus content I'm watching Alyssa Liu's performance and interviews

407

and whatever and I'm like these people are living their happiest most successful life

408

because they are just listening to their heart they're just listening to who they are

409

and they're following that i don't i don't even like

410

i'm studying this of course i study my friends as well like subconsciously

411

but like you can look at people who who you admire

412

and see that authenticity has something to do with it you know like in any sense like

413

making any dream come true or living a happy life period

414

if anyone is doing that that is a sign of authenticity

415

because they are listening to their heart

416

and all you have to do is look at somebody who is living their life or has

417

or keeps going after their dreams or keeps falling

418

and keeps trying anyway like there are so many

419

so many examples around the world on the internet around you of this

420

and I want you to start also taking note of how many times you see someone out in public

421

that is being themselves and how often you admire that

422

because it really is like it really is okay to be yourself

423

and it takes a lot of at least for me it takes a lot of consuming the idea

424

that it's okay and that it like actually makes life work out

425

and it makes people happy it took a lot of studying

426

that and um noting that for me to feel okay to start doing it uh

427

because I learned that it wasn't okay to be myself growing up I learned

428

that um that I was too much

429

or I would get like I would get whooped for being who I am literally

430

so it's like okay I had to I was literally trained to be as little of myself as possible

431

and then not just whooped at home like in school bullied for just existing

432

and being who I am

433

so I'm like okay I can't be too loud I can't be too much I can't be perceived none of

434

that and it takes a lot of work to unlearn that

435

but anyone can get to the point of feeling comfortable being yourself and I highly recommend starting the journey.

436

I know it's such a broad one,

437

but it really is so important because it leads to everything.

438

Being authentic to myself and my desires and what I want to do, who I want to be,

439

learning what I like, learning what I don't like, saying no when I don't feel like it, saying yes when I do,

440

and just being true really to who I am, it has opened so many doors and has granted so many blessings.

441

I feel so blessed in life right now and I feel

442

so ecstatic and so happy and content with myself

443

and I am confident and I months ago would have considered myself insecure

444

but now I say I'm confident which is very wild.

445

I have had a complete change in my mindset and how I view things just with adopting this process alone.

446

So really like it leads to the best life ever

447

and I don't know if what I said makes sense

448

but you know what I'm being myself

449

and the way I say things gets through to some people

450

so so hopefully um it was helpful in some sort of way

451

because I know I also get comments of like like how to I'm gonna make I already said

452

Like I'm going to make this friendship video with my friend soon.

453

Um, like how to express yourself, like when you're really shy.

454

And I know that when I was shy, it was just because I was afraid of being perceived.

455

I was afraid of being myself because I learned that it was bad.

456

So if there's any way that you can start the process of learning the opposite, unlearning is just learning something new

457

you can unlearn to hide yourself by learning to show yourself

458

by learning to reveal a little bit of yourself little by little over time

459

it doesn't have to be every single day but just practice

460

and do not get discouraged when you get knocked down

461

or something doesn't go the way that you expected

462

or you're like oh I was right it was embarrassing

463

or whatever don't get discouraged feel fucking awesome

464

because you tried it feel awesome because you're brave enough to try it

465

and you did it and it like every single time

466

that I have chosen to be myself and like send

467

that text or say that thing or do that thing

468

or whatever um I've always been like okay I'm I'm a beast

469

I'm a beast I did it no matter how it goes

470

I'm a beast I'm a beast like this is good like I feel so proud that like even though,

471

even though it's scary, I did it.

472

And it like showing yourself that you're brave every single day or just like more often is like,

473

it feels really good.

474

Okay.

475

So I highly recommend, um, yeah, starting.

476

starting the journey or

477

continuing the journey or amplifying the journey of being your self being your full

478

beautiful incredible self because you are more amazing than words could ever

479

Capture and you will find that out

480

The more you be yourself the more you be yourself

481

and allow yourself to do what you want to do be who you want to be the more you do

482

that the more you will learn like wow I am life

483

I am a life itself I am not just insert name

484

and look at this body you are life itself and that is beyond words okay that is incredible.

485

You are life.

486

You are energy.

487

You are light.

488

You are so important and you are so worthy.

489

It's not a question.

490

You are incredible just as you are.

491

Have some fun with it. Have fun.

492

Like Miley Cyrus says and how I've been practicing, it's been so amazing obviously

493

because it's fun follow your fun follow your happiness follow your heart

494

and do not shrink yourself okay i did not touch on shrinking yourself too much

495

because that's not the focus here the focus is being who you are okay

496

and the more you do it little by little the easier it'll become

497

and it is so hard at first trust me

498

but you are not feeling

499

if you are trying everything

500

you try at first feels very difficult until it becomes second nature until you are finally trained to do

501

so and it was very difficult on the other side of this

502

but now that I've like been doing it so consecutively and

503

so continuously like consistently now it's second nature to me to be myself

504

and that is it feels like it happened out of nowhere

505

if you like it feels like it happened with no work because I practiced it so much, if that makes sense.

506

Like, I feel so ready to be me.

507

I feel so comfortable.

508

I feel so confident.

509

Like, I am just, it feels really good, okay?

510

Like, I know I talked about myself a lot this video, but ooh, okay.

511

Something I'm gonna say, and this might be helpful for you.

512

I downloaded this app called Align, and it talks about your body's design.

513

You put your birth date in there.

514

It's kind of like a Zodiac thing, but it's about your energy and your gifts.

515

And on my line, it said that by talking about my own experiences, others are inspired.

516

Okay.

517

So I'm like, I just have to talk about

518

my life and no matter how selfish it may seem people talking about their own life

519

and their own experiences and how they got through their own things has always inspired me

520

so I have no reason to um

521

belittle this part of myself

522

or shame this part of myself like I'm I just have to do what's natural to me and

523

that is the right thing to do I highly recommend downloading the app

524

I think it is paid to listen to it um you don't have to don't do it

525

if you don't want to but it's like it I listened to it

526

and it was insane it was

527

so comforting I felt seen to my core I felt

528

so comfortable about my journey and it just felt like everything was um affirmed like comforted

529

every worry was like squashed everything was oh fuck what is that word everything was um

530

what is that word that i'm thinking of

531

validated everything within me felt like it was validated like every

532

single aspect of who i am how i talk who how i am did i already say

533

that yes every single aspect of myself felt so validated and I was like, okay, like I can be myself and it's fine.

534

So it has only helped on this journey.

535

So I might as well mention the app because it really has helped this, um, process so much because I took notes on it too.

536

And I've been practicing everything it's been saying.

537

So, um, yeah.

538

Um, I love you so much.

539

Thanks for listening to me and thanks for listening to yourself and doing what is authentic to you.

540

I have to end this video because the lawnmower is getting closer, leaf blower, but I love you.

541

I adore you.

542

And let me know what you think down below.

543

Okay.

544

Let me, let me know if anything hit and if so, what did.

545

Okay.

546

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.
