1
Hello friend, I'm Hope, and I'm really glad you're here today.
2
Welcome to English with Hope, a calm space for your mind and your heart.
3
In this channel, you don't have to be perfect.
4
You don't have to rush.
5
Here we learn English, slowly.
6
We listen English, gently.
7
No pressure, no stress.
8
And here, you are not alone.
9
Wherever you are in the world, I'm right here with you.
10
So relax your shoulders, take a slow breath, and let's begin.
11
Can I ask you something I've been thinking about?
12
Do you ever feel like you are standing at the bottom of a very tall mountain?
13
You look up at the top.
14
The top is where your perfect life is.
15
It is where your perfect English is.
16
It is where your perfect career or perfect body lives.
17
And you look at yourself.
18
You feel tired.
19
You feel small.
20
You feel like you don't have the energy to climb that mountain today.
21
So you stay at the bottom.
22
And because you stay at the bottom, you feel guilty.
23
You tell yourself you are lazy.
24
You tell yourself you are broken.
25
But let me tell you a secret, friend.
26
You are not lazy.
27
You are not broken.
28
You are simply overwhelmed.
29
We live in a world that loves big things, big goals, big changes, big success.
30
But big things are heavy.
31
They are hard to carry.
32
They make us want to quit before we even start.
33
Today, we are going to put down that heavy weight.
34
We are going to stop looking at the top of the mountain.
35
Instead, we are going to look at the ground, right in front of our feet.
36
We are going to talk about the power of small things, tiny things, what some people call atomic habits.
37
These are the small seeds we plant today, not for a big harvest tomorrow, but for the quiet peace of watching something grow, slowly.
38
By the time we finish our conversation today, I want you to feel a shift.
39
I want that heavy mountain to feel like a collection of small stones.
40
Stones that you can easily pick up.
41
One by one.
42
We are going to find clarity.
43
We are going to move away from the all or nothing mindset.
44
That voice in your head that says, if I can't do it perfectly, I shouldn't do it at all.
45
We are going to replace that voice with a gentler one.
46
A voice that says, I can do just one small thing.
47
You will learn how to protect your energy.
48
You will see that peace is not found in the finish line.
49
is found in the rhythm of the walk.
50
This isn't about working harder.
51
It's about being kinder to yourself.
52
It's about building a foundation of tiny wins that nobody else sees.
53
But you see them, and they make you feel safe.
54
Let's take this journey into the world of small steps, slowly, gently.
55
I remember a time, not so long ago, when I felt completely stuck.
56
It was a Tuesday morning.
57
The sky was grey and the air felt heavy with rain that wouldn't fall.
58
I had so many things to do.
59
My house was messy.
60
My work felt like a giant pile of papers I couldn't understand.
61
Even my heart felt messy.
62
I sat on my kitchen floor and I cried.
63
I cried because I felt like I was failing at everything.
64
I felt like I was behind everyone else in the world.
65
Do you know that feeling?
66
The feeling that everyone is running a race and you are still trying to tie your shoes.
67
I looked at my garden through the window.
68
It was overgrown with weeds.
69
I thought, I should go out and fix the whole garden. But I couldn't move.
70
My legs felt like lead.
71
Then I remembered something.
72
I didn't have to fix the garden.
73
I just had to pull one weed.
74
Just one.
75
I walked outside.
76
The grass was wet.
77
I reached down and pulled one green weed from the soil.
78
The earth was soft.
79
I looked at the small space where the weed used to be.
80
It was just a tiny circle of brown dirt.
81
But it was clear.
82
It was done.
83
I felt a tiny spark of light in my chest.
84
So, I pulled another.
85
Then another.
86
I didn't finish the garden that day, not even close.
87
But when I went back inside, the mountain of the garden didn't look so scary anymore.
88
I realized that we don't heal by fixing our whole lives in one day.
89
We heal by being brave enough to do one tiny thing, even when we are sad, even when we are tired.
90
That was the day I stopped trying to be great, and I started trying to be consistent.
91
Why does a tiny 1% step matter so much?
92
Imagine you were a pilot.
93
You were flying a large plane across the ocean.
94
Your destination is a beautiful sunny island.
95
You were flying straight, but then you moved the nose of the plane just one degree, only one degree.
96
It is so small that the passengers don't even feel it.
97
They keep drinking their coffee.
98
They keep watching their movies.
99
To them, nothing has changed.
100
But as the hours go by, that one little degree begins to grow.
101
Over a long distance, that tiny shift changes everything.
102
You don't land on your sunny island.
103
You land in a completely different country, hundreds of miles away.
104
This is the power of the 1% rule.
105
In our lives, we often think that to change our world, we need a massive explosion of energy.
106
We think we need to work 12 hours a day or learn a thousand new words in a week.
107
But that is like trying to move the whole mountain at once.
108
It is exhausting.
109
And usually, we give up because our bodies and minds are tired.
110
The magic happens when you focus on being just 1% better today.
111
Just 1%.
112
If you get 1% better every day for a year, do you know what happens?
113
Mathematically, you don't just get a little better.
114
You become 37 times better than when you started.
115
Think about that 37 times that is the power of atomic habits they are like interest in a bank account
116
you put in a small coin every day at first it looks like nothing you look at your bank balance
117
and you feel disappointed i only have a few coins you say
118
but you keep going you keep adding one percent
119
and slowly the interest begins to build it multiplies this is
120
why I want you to feel excited today you don't need
121
to be a hero you don't need to be perfect you
122
just need to be one percent braver than you were yesterday
123
if you are sad one percent better might just mean washing your face If you are studying English,
124
1% better might mean listening to just five minutes of this podcast.
125
Every time you choose a small positive action, you are voting for the person you want to become.
126
You are telling your brain, I am a person who grows.
127
You are not stuck.
128
You are a work in progress.
129
And that progress, even if it is invisible right now, is building a beautiful future for you.
130
Can you feel that energy?
131
It is quiet, but it is very, very strong.
132
Today, find one tiny task that takes less than 60 seconds.
133
Maybe it is hanging up one coat or writing one sentence in a journal.
134
Do it, and then say to yourself, That was my 1%.
135
I am growing.
136
Who do you want to become today?
137
Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to keep a new habit?
138
We often start with a goal.
139
I want to lose weight.
140
Or I want to speak perfect English.
141
These are called outcome-based goals.
142
They are about the what.
143
But the problem is, if we don't see the what quickly, we lose our motivation.
144
We feel like we are pretending to be someone we are not.
145
The secret to lasting change is not focusing on what you want to achieve.
146
It is focusing on who you want to be.
147
This is about your identity.
148
Imagine two people who are trying to quit smoking.
149
When someone offers the first person a cigarette they say, No thanks, I'm trying to quit.
150
This sounds good, right?
151
Deep down, they still believe they are a smoker who is trying to be different.
152
They are fighting against themselves.
153
The second person is offered a cigarette and says, no thanks, I'm not a smoker.
154
Do you hear the difference?
155
It is a tiny shift in words but a massive shift in the heart.
156
The second person no longer identifies with the old habit.
157
They have decided who they are.
158
You can do this with your English and you can do this with your healing.
159
Instead of saying, I am a student trying to learn, start saying, I am a communicator.
160
Instead of saying, I am a stressed person trying to be calm, say, I am someone who cares about my peace.
161
every time you practice a small habit you are giving a
162
vote to this new identity every time you open your book
163
you vote I am a learner every time you take a deep breath
164
when you are angry you vote I am a calm person
165
you don't need to be a master to have an identity
166
you just need to have more votes for the new version of you than the old one.
167
This is so encouraging because it means you don't have to wait for the result to feel proud.
168
You can feel proud right now, in this moment, because you are acting like the person you want to be.
169
You are a person of growth.
170
You are a person of resilience.
171
I see that in you.
172
Every minute you spend listening to these words is a vote for your future.
173
You are already becoming her.
174
You are already becoming him.
175
The future you is already inside you, waiting to be built, one tiny habit at a time.
176
Choose one positive word that describes the person you want to be.
177
Learner.
178
Artist.
179
Kind.
180
Healthy.
181
Before you start a small task today, say, I am doing this because I am A.
182
I am doing this because I am A.
183
Ziri using the word you chose.
184
I am doing this because I am a learner.
185
I am doing this because I am healthy.
186
Who do you want to become today?
187
Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to keep a new habit?

224

225

226
Choose one positive word that describes the person you want to be.
227
Learner, artist, kind, healthy.
228
Before you start a small task today, say, I am doing this because I am a… using the word you chose.
229
I am doing this because I am a learner.
230
I am doing this because I am healthy.
231
Why do we make our dreams feel so difficult?
232
Have you ever noticed how we think about our goals?
233
We think, I want to be fit, so we try to go to the gym for two hours.
234
We think, I want to be a writer, so we try to write a whole book in a weekend.
235
think I want to speak English perfectly
236
so we try to study for three hours every night but
237
when we do this our brain gets scared our brain sees a giant heavy task
238
and it wants to run away it wants to hide this is why we procrastinate it's not
239
because we are lazy it's because the habit we are trying to start is too big to fit into our day.
240
There is a beautiful, simple secret called the 2-Minute Rule.
241
It says that when you start a new habit, it should take less than 2 minutes to do.
242
If you want to read more, don't say, I will read 30 pages tonight.
243
Say I will read 1 page.
244
If you want to exercise, don't say I will run 5 kilometers.
245
Say, I will put on my running shoes and walk to the front door.
246
If you want to learn English, don't say, I will master grammar.
247
Say, I will listen to one minute of Hope's voice.
248
You might think, Hope, that's too easy.
249
One minute won't change my life.
250
But friend, the goal isn't the reading or the running yet.
251
The goal is the showing up.
252
A habit must be established before it can be improved.
253
If you can't master the art of showing up for two minutes, you will never master the art of doing it for an hour.
254
When you do something for two minutes, you are proving to yourself that you are the kind of person who keeps their promises.
255
Think of it like a train.
256
The hardest part for a train is starting.
257
It takes so much energy to move the first inch.
258
But once the train is moving, even if it is moving slowly, it becomes very hard to stop.
259
You are that train.
260
Don't worry about the speed.
261
Just worry about the start.
262
I want you to feel the joy of finishing.
263
When you set a goal for two minutes, you finish it every time.
264
And when you finish, you feel successful.
265
That success gives you a little happy chemical in your brain.
266
It makes you want to do it again tomorrow.
267
So, stop trying to be a hero.
268
Just be a person who shows up for two minutes.
269
That is enough.
270
I promise you, it is enough.
271
Choose a goal you have been avoiding.
272
Find the two-minute version of it.
273
Do it right now, or as soon as this podcast ends.
274
Feel the relief of being finished in 120 seconds.
275
Is your environment holding your hand or pushing you away?
276
Sometimes, we think we need more willpower.
277
We think we need to be stronger or more disciplined.
278
But let's look at your day-to-day life.
279
Imagine you are trying to eat healthy, but there is a bowl of colorful candy sitting on your desk.
280
Every time you look up, you see the candy.
281
You have to use your energy to say no to that candy 100 times a day.
282
By the end of the day, you are tired.
283
Your willpower battery is empty.
284
So you eat the candy.
285
You didn't fail because you are weak.
286
You failed because your environment was working against you.
287
The most successful people don't have the strongest willpower.
288
They have the smartest environments.
289
They design their world so that the good habits are the easiest choice.
290
Think of your environment like a garden path.
291
If the path is full of rocks and thorns, you won't want to walk on it.
292
But if the path is clear and lined with flowers, you will walk it without even thinking.
293
How can we clear your path today?
294
If you want to practice English in the morning, put your headphones on top of your phone before you go to sleep.
295
If you want to drink more water, put a glass of water on your nightstand so it is the first thing you see.
296
If you want to stop checking social media, put your phone in another room.
297
We want to make the good habit have the least amount of friction, and we want to make the bad habit have the most friction.
298
This is a very positive way to live because it takes the blame away from you.
299
You don't have to fight yourself anymore.
300
You just have to set up your world to help you.
301
When your room, your desk, and your phone are organized to support you, life feels like it is flowing downstream.
302
You don't have to swim against the current.
303
You can just float.
304
You deserve a life that feels easy.
305
You deserve an environment that treats you with kindness.
306
Start small.
307
Move one thing in your room today to make a good choice easier.
308
Look at your desk or your bed.
309
Move one object that helps a good habit closer to you.
310
Remove one object that distracts you further away.
311
What happens when life gets in the way?
312
Let's be honest for a moment, friend.
313
There will be days when the 1% feels like too much.
314
There will be days when you forget to make your bed.
315
There will be days when you don't open your English book.
316
There will be days when the rain comes and you just want to stay under the covers.
317
When this happens, a loud voice often starts shouting in our heads.
318
It says, see, you failed again.
319
It says, you broke the chain.
320
You might as well give up now.
321
But I want you to listen to a different voice today.
322
A quieter, kinder voice.
323
This voice follows the never miss twice rule.
324
Missing one day is an accident.
325
Missing two days is the start of a new habit.
326
Think of it like walking on a beautiful path.
327
If you trip and fall down, do you stay on the ground forever?
328
Do you say, well, I fell once, so I guess I am a person who just lives on the ground now?
329
Of course not.
330
You brush the dust off your knees.
331
You take a breath.
332
And you take the next step.
333
The first mistake is never what ruins us.
334
It is the spiral of guilt that follows.
335
We spend so much energy being angry at ourselves for missing a day, that we don't have any energy left to start again.
336
I want to give you a reset button.
337
Whenever you miss a habit, just imagine pressing a small glowing button in your heart.
338
Click.
339
The past is gone.
340
The mistake is over.
341
You are back at zero, and zero is a beautiful place to start.
342
You don't have to be perfect to be successful.
343
You just have to be someone who gets back up.
344
If you missed your practice yesterday, that's okay.
345
Today is a brand new world.
346
Today is a new 1%.
347
Success is not a straight line that goes up and up.
348
It is a messy, wiggly line.
349
It has loops and drops and turns.
350
But as long as you never miss twice, that line will always find its way home.
351
You are allowed to be human.
352
You are allowed to have tired days.
353
Just remember, the next right choice is only two minutes away.
354
If there is a habit you have broken lately, don't try to catch up.
355
Don't try to do double the work today.
356
Just do the smallest, easiest version of it right now.
357
Just once.
358
Then, give yourself a high five in the mirror.
359
We have traveled a long way today, haven't we?
360
We started by looking at a giant mountain that felt too heavy to climb.
361
But now, I hope you see that the mountain is just made of tiny grains of sand. And you?
362
You are the one who knows how to move those grains, one by one.
363
You don't need to change your whole life by tomorrow morning.
364
The world wants you to rush, but I am here to tell you, it is okay to go slowly.
365
It is okay to be small.
366
Like a seed buried in the dark earth, you might feel like nothing is happening.
367
You might feel like you are just sitting in the dark.
368
But under the surface, you are growing roots.
369
Those roots are made of your small habits.
370
They are made of the mornings you made your bed.
371
They are made of the minutes you spent listening to this English podcast.
372
One day you will look up and realize you are no longer a seed.
373
You are a strong, beautiful tree.
374
And you didn't get there by jumping.
375
You got there by growing one millimeter at a time.
376
Be patient with yourself.
377
Be proud of your two-minute wins.
378
And most of all, remember that you are already enough, exactly as you are.
379
With or without your habits, you are valuable.
380
But because I love you, I want you to feel the peace that consistency brings.
381
I want you to feel the quiet confidence of a person who knows they can show up for themselves.
382
Go out into your day now.
383
Don't look for the big mountain.
384
Look for the 1%.
385
Look for the two minutes.
386
Look for the two minutes.
387
I am so proud of you for being here today.
388
It keeps this space alive and growing.
389
With love, thank you for being here.
390
And I can't wait to continue this journey with you.
391
And if this lesson gave you something useful, I'd love it if you tapped like and subscribe to the channel.
392
It helps you stay connected, and it also helps this little learning community grow.
393
Every click really does make a difference.
394
Goodbye for now, friend.
395
Thank you.

Об этом уроке

Вы практикуете английский с "The Power of 1% (Atomic Habits) | Slow English Podcast | English Motivation #learnenglishpodcast" с помощью техники Shadowing — метода, разработанного для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков.

Слушайте каждое предложение, обращайте внимание на ударения и связывание звуков, затем повторяйте вслух уверенно. 15–30 минут ежедневной практики дадут заметные результаты.

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.
