Практика Shadowing: Romanticizing my life - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

I spend so much of my life saying things like, I'll do this when I have more money, or I'll start it next week.

I'll do it when I accomplish this.

I've noticed I spend more time consuming other people's lives than living my own.

As exciting it can be to scroll on Pinterest and dream of a life you may view as greater than yours, too much of it can actually leave you with an empty feeling inside.

Focusing on all the things you so badly want often makes you realize all the things you lack.

It's a cliche, but the saying, stop and smell the roses, has always been important to me.

I believe heavily in the law of attraction.

Positive or negative thoughts bring the corresponding experience into a person's life.

If you constantly think about what you don't have instead of what you do, the universe will only hear the negativity and return it as such.

An easy way to reframe your mindset is to start the day with three things that you're grateful for, along with three things you're excited about.

It starts your day off with positive energy and excitement even if you don't view your life as very exciting.

I'm excited to drink my coffee every day.

I'm excited to put on a cute outfit.

You could even say you're excited to get back into bed later.

I mean, I always am.

I like to phrase the bad or the boring things as, I get to do this, instead of, I have to do this.

An example would be, if you hate doing the dishes, you can be grateful you have two able hands that allow you to do so.

The mundane can be so special if you're present and open to the idea that maybe everything isn't so bad.

I often feel envious of the lives of others.

I wish I had that experience.

I wish I got that opportunity.

I wish I could travel more.

My dad always liked to remind me that exploring where you already live can be just as exciting.

I want to make an effort to see more lakes, more rivers, more mountains around me.

The older I've gotten, the less time I've spent outside.

And I believe that's a big part of why I felt some light leave my life, a light I felt the presence of more when I was young.

Being outside is healing.

At some point, I also stopped listening to music.

Not entirely, but in a big way.

No music while getting ready, silence in the car.

And while I believe being able to sit in silence is important, I also think when you're someone like me and your mind is consumed with not-so-productive thoughts,

turning on music that you love that lifts your spirits will get your energy really high, especially live music.

If you have the opportunity to go see your favorite artist or your favorite band live, even if it's just once, I think the joy that that gives a person banks enough happiness to last a few months.

Something very important and near and dear to my heart that I learned in recent years is if you're having trouble cleaning, doing anything really, you have to pretend you're in a movie.

You're being watched.

Get performative as hell right now.

And that starts with full beat.

The hair on me is questionable.

Look, I told you we weren't at our final.

You can see the light, natural hair still peeking through.

That's not the point.

That's not the point of this video.

We're not talking about my hair.

Face.

Outfit.

Put on a ridiculous outfit.

I will show you mine very soon.

And turn on music.

Sometimes I turn on the Disney Channel soundtrack.

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Audrey Hobert.

That really gets me going because she is so entirely girl.

She does such a good job of writing and expressing the girl experience so well.

She just, she captures it so fully in her work.

And I adore her.

And I saw her last night.

Oh god.

Yesterday was an incredible day.

Incredible day.

I went to an animal sanctuary.

I saw ponies.

I saw pigs.

I saw kangaroos.

I saw monkeys.

I saw everything.

It was the best day of my life because I ended my day going to Audrey Hobart and she is my favorite.

And I danced and I screamed and I sang and I was sweating.

It was so magical.

Ask anyone around me, I had the best time of my life.

And like I said earlier, live music lights a fire inside of me.

There's periods of times in my life where I just stop listening to music, and I'm doing everything in silence, and I'm wondering why I'm so miserable.

So between spending time outside, which I need to do so much more of, because as a child, I spent all of my time outside.

I was such an outdoors kid, and now I'm not.

And then I'm depressed.

Hmm, that's weird.

Just had to update you on that.

Now back, back to the important stuff.

I need to put the ridiculous outfit on.

In 3, 2, 1.

What?

Oh, this little thing?

It's nothing.

I always wear this.

You wanna know the funniest part?

I've had this for two years and I've only worn it one other time

and it was to do exactly this because it really does get me going.

I realize I actually have no idea where my headphones are, so the sacrifice I have to make is quieter music because I'm just gonna turn it on on my TV.

I have a playlist called Girl, that's it, and it's not as long as I would like it to be.

It learns, so whatever it plays after my music is done should be in the same world.

On this we have Addison Rae, Imogen Heap, Lana Del Rey, Charlie ACX, Demi Lovato, Every Time You Lie, Fiona Apple, Audrey Hobert, Magdalena Bae, do you understand?

Wow, things just happen for me don't be alarmed i may not be beautiful

and whimsical right now actually that's not true sorry i am always beautiful

and i am always whimsical i don't have makeup on anymore

and i'm just an old reliable because i'm not even gonna lie

that whimsical outfit not very comfortable Plus I was like damn near flashing my friend Nick

when he was here

so here we are we're not done the house is clean I feel at peace

but I got new bed sheets and I'm so excited about

that the most important thing in my life is my bed my comfort my room between the sleep crowns

and everything like you know I love my bed you know

100

how important all my stuff is to me I love the blanket wait till you take a peek at this.

101

Look at these gorgeous blue and you know Dylan was like it's giving bell because they're blue and yellow.

102

I'm so excited.

103

I haven't gotten new sheets in a while

104

so I have one singular fitted sheet

105

so like usually I have clean linens in the linen closet

106

and if I need to change my sheets I can change my duvet cover

107

and my pillowcases but not the fitted sheet so like I can't actually remake my bed right away if I wanted to.

108

But now I can't.

109

These are going on the bed.

110

It's about to be a really magical night.

111

New sheets.

112

My boyfriend's mom got me a delicious candle.

113

I'm gonna like that as hell.

114

okay i'm not gonna lie to you the bathroom's a disaster

115

but i can't be perfect i can be romantic but I can't be perfect.

116

Something really important, especially on a night with fresh new sheets, is a really good shower.

117

Now I did wash my hair yesterday so I will not be doing that again.

118

I also don't like going to sleep with wet hair.

119

If you want to wash your hair, wash your hair.

120

I'm not going to but I am going to wash my body

121

and exfoliate my body and I have been wearing these jammies all day so I will be changing into new jammies.

122

Probably the same ones just in a different color because these are my favorite.

123

I light a candle and I turn on my red light.

124

Those are my only two forms of lighting okay it makes it very spa-esque

125

and cherry on top i turn on healing frequencies abundant frequencies

126

because usually i shower in silence like we've talked about the music thing already i maybe shouldn't do

127

that but also it gives me time to like think

128

but something about the frequencies glasses are off i cannot see you i had to order hair ties clips

129

and this is more so for fun.

130

For a side bang moment, I don't have any hair ties.

131

I don't have any clips in my house.

132

I don't know how it's happened.

133

Hair up and out of the way.

134

I'm also getting to a hair length where I can kind of start doing overnight curls if I really wanted to.

135

A little sock moment.

136

I can't see a foot in front of me.

137

I'm trying to look at this countertop to see where my hairband is and it's just, it might be here.

138

I don't know.

139

Instead, we have Morgan's trusty dusty headband the concrete candle always special dylan got this for me for my birthday

140

or christmas i don't know they all blend together candle is lit going on top of the toilet

141

because i can see it when i'm in the shower.

142

Speaker.

143

I forgot

144

to mention before I got in the shower while the red light was going.

145

I'm listening to my frequencies dry brushing and this one comes on a stick so you can, right?

146

That entire thing that I do, not as frequent as I should, is so incredible for my nervous system and I need to do it more frequently.

147

I don't like, hey this thing makes me feel really good.

148

I'm not gonna do it.

149

That's me.

150

That's how I live my life.

151

Not for long.

152

Having my house really clean makes me feel so good.

153

I'm gonna keep it really dirty majority of the time enough of

154

that we're being nice now as you can see these are half empty i love them a lot osea is

155

that how you say this i don't know this has been my favorite post shower body stuff algae body oil

156

and the algae body lotion this is really small

157

so i've been using it sparingly but i do like majority oil

158

and then the lotion i'm gonna lotion myself up

159

and then i'm gonna get in my new jammies a little candle back there my new candle

160

that bell and mom got me today so delicious my Jasmine Dreams.

161

We also went to 7-Eleven and we got donuts and goldfish because that's what we deserve.

162

And I did want to watch Coraline, but Morgan said he wants to wait for me to watch it with him.

163

So I think maybe that's something that I'll do tomorrow.

164

So we're going to watch Once Upon a Time.

165

Still watching Once Upon a Time, by the way.

166

Same jammies, different color.

167

And it matches my sheets.

168

And we got donuts.

169

Do you want to know what else is good for the nervous system?

170

My babies.

171

Oh my god, they're so warm.

172

They feel like a little heated.

173

They're making their own body heat.

174

They're making their own body heat now.

175

Okay, I'm doing first impressions.

176

Getting into bed.

177

Oh, I like this blue.

178

I know.

179

All right. Is this the stuff?

180

Oh, this is the stuff.

181

I'm going to sleep like a baby.

182

These are Dylan's favorite donuts.

183

Oh my god, those paws.

184

185

186

187

189

Peek-a-boo.

190

Yay.

191

192

Me.

193

It's Saturday.

194

I slept incredible, incredible in these sheets.

195

My life is perfect.

196

There's nowhere else I would rather be.

197

I woke up this morning and I realized it was Saturday

198

and I started thinking about the fact that I used to watch like cartoons

199

and animated stuff on the weekends when I was a kid and that I don't do that anymore.

200

In the morning with your breakfast, that's so fun.

201

I really don't watch TV until like 5 p.m.

202

It's kind of my rule

203

but I think on the weekends there's no rules ordered myself some pancakes as a treat as a weekend treat

204

and i'm gonna watch tangled i really love that movie

205

and it makes you feel good my sweet angel bailey is coming

206

and i really want to have like a park picnic day

207

so we're gonna go to the grocery store get some stuff prepare it

208

and go go sit outside it's a little gloomy out

209

but not in a we shouldn't go outside way kind of in a oh it'd be nice

210

because it's so hot but there's no sun right now so maybe we won't be miserable.

211

I put on one outfit and it had a jacket

212

and I was sweating and I hadn't even left the house or done anything yet.

213

So this is what I'm wearing to go to the grocery store and to the park probably too.

214

The purple in my pants matches the purple in my shirt.

215

This is one of my favorite shirts.

216

Trader Joe.

217

Yeah.

218

Do we have a game plan?

219

I feel like they're like really big though.

220

Like are we supposed to crack that open at the park?

221

I guess.

222

Any sort of protein?

223

Do we need protein?

224

Okay so it's really hot.

225

It wasn't.

226

And now it is.

227

If you're in LA you know right now that the weather is just the most unpredictable actually.

228

Well I was saying earlier that it was gloomy

229

We're taking a small break while it finishes doing what it needs to do.

296

Oh, yum.

297

Dylan's mom got us this balsamic from Flamingo stick and I just made some bread.

298

So this is our little treat.

299

But once the hair is finished, I will be back to show you.

300

Because it's going to be great, I swear.

301

I don't know for sure yet because I dried it and it's frizzy and yeah, sure, a little dead naturally.

302

I just bleached it three times, but then I cut it and I styled it

303

and put it up and I'm not taking it down until I have my face on.

304

And then we'll see the final result, but it's looking really good.

305

This is exactly what I wanted.

306

We're so close.

307

This has been such a long process, but I think it's going to be worth it.

308

And new hair, I know that the other one was very short-lived, but like, of course, it was getting darker as the time was going on.

309

And I knew I had to, I knew I had to bleach it.

310

New hair makes everything so exciting.

311

Oh, I want to go out because I want people to see my hair.

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.
