The day
2
that I There's nothing What's good, Yoss?
3
Stop wasting your time How you wish How to grow Let's be honest,
4
how many times have you been in this same exact position?
5
It's like the second your eyes open, it's a reflex.
6
You grab your phone, not because you need to, not because anything urgent is happening, but because we've been trained to doom scroll, to escape our own lives before the day even begins.
7
Without even thinking about it, we start the day watching strangers live their lives instead of living our own.
8
Their breakfast, their vacations, their perfect routines, their highlight reels.
9
All before we've lived even a minute of our own day.
10
And I'm not just trying to call you out, okay?
11
That was exactly how I was starting my day every single day.
12
Before I would even brush my teeth and wipe the crust out of my eye, I would just be doing this, scrolling and scrolling.
13
And you know, I tell myself, it's fine.
14
Like, it's just for a few minutes, but a few minutes would turn into half an hour.
15
Half an hour would turn to multiple hours.
16
And it's like, boom, before I knew it, it just became a part of my daily morning routine.
17
I would start my days watching other people exist.
18
I was essentially just living through my phone, watching everyone else's lives, and I didn't even realize fully what it was doing to me.
19
So last year was one of the most difficult periods of my life.
20
I was going through it mentally, physically, emotionally.
21
Literally every single area of my life.
22
So basically I got off of birth control and my hormones just became so out of whack My skin started breaking out like crazy I was losing chunks of my hair and I lost a lot of weight And I was really in this dark mental space that I really haven't been in in a long time And look, I know some people might think i'm being dramatic.
23
Okay, like it's just acne Why would that ruin your entire life?
24
But honestly, if you've ever looked in the mirror and didn't recognize yourself, you probably know exactly what I mean I feel like no one will really get it until they actually go through something like that But my skin was so bad that I didn't want to go out for months.
25
I hated looking in the mirror I would skip out on all plans with friends I would just stay hold up in my apartment and scroll and scroll and scroll and it was the only thing that
26
helped me feel like I was escaping the feelings I was going through and let me tell you all I did was scroll scroll to distract myself from how I felt Scroll to escape the anxiety scroll so I didn't have to think but honestly the more I scrolled the worse I felt because by doom scrolling,
27
I actually developed so much anxiety I would constantly compare myself with every single person I would see online She has perfect skin.
28
She has a perfect body.
29
This girl has so many friends.
30
This girl has a perfect life And I just never felt good enough.
31
I was constantly distracted and my mental health felt like it was just destroyed I felt completely lost so insecure to really put things into perspective of how bad my doom scrolling was at the time This was like an average day of screen time for me So if you're watching right now,
32
it's for a reason and if you're watching right now and you're in the same position I hope you know I am the last person to judge you
33
Everyone tells you stop using your phone.
34
Just use a flip phone, delete social media, take a digital detox.
35
And trust me, I've tried it all.
36
But like,
37
let's just be so for real our phones is how we live now this thing is literally an essential part of our daily lives and phones are not all bad they
38
help us connect learn and get inspired create and i am literally a content creator my passion is literally sharing content with you guys and because of social media we built this like amazing community of like-minded girlies.
39
You guys bring me so much joy and purpose.
40
And one of my favorite parts of my life, my passions is sharing content that inspires you guys.
41
And honestly, none of that would be possible if it wasn't for this, but like a lot of you guys, most of the time I still spent mindlessly consuming other people's lives, feeling worse and worse about myself and my own life.
42
I was like watching strangers live while watching my own life just pass me by.
43
And that's when it just like, boom, randomly hit me.
44
I didn't need to disconnect from my phone and get rid of her completely.
45
I just needed to reconnect with my own life instead.
46
And so I started romanticizing my own moments again, documenting my life, the small things, the big things, the real things, just for me, not for likes, not for followers, not for validation, just to remember and remind myself that my own life is worth paying attention to.
47
And it had me thinking, what if there was a space on your phone that wasn't about comparison, where you could store your memories, your thoughts, your moments, a safe place in your phone that just felt home to you.
48
So that is why I'm so excited to finally share Cove with you.
49
Cove was created for your life romanticize it document it share it with the closest people to you I save anything and everything that matters photos videos links thoughts
50
the big moments the little ones and I organized them into Cove seemed spaces for different things I care about I even invite my close friends and family to
51
share these moments with and stay connected with them But doing all of that with no doom scrolling no feed no algorithms no ads no pressure Just me and my
52
own life because you deserve a space that reminds you to live your own life And if you want to see what living your life looks like come with me, let's go
53
You guys love seeing her in the vlog so I told her to stop being shy and to join me on YouTube today We're gonna have a good day.
54
I'm gonna take my mom out We're gonna enjoy the beautiful weather because even though it's cold out.
55
It's super sunny If you can see like the Sun is beaming, so I'm gonna take my mom out We're gonna have fun time and take her for some coffee spoil her as we do and enjoy New York City.
56
So Let's go, let's go!
57
You excited?
58
Yes!
59
Woo!
60
Guys, it's so windy right now.
61
I feel like my lashes about to pop up, fly away.
62
You guys, she thinks the subway is fun.
63
It is fun sometimes when it's not super crowded.
64
Today's okay, but when it's crowded, guys, you're squished in there like this, in the train.
65
And it smells like armpits.
66
It's like a little field trip for her.
67
Alright you guys, I'm here with my mom.
68
I just brought her to one of my favorite cafes.
69
It's called Little Ruby's Cafe.
70
The food here guys, lots.
71
Perfect.
72
crispy rice bowl, bronte, medium-mobile sweet potato, we're sharing both, right?
73
Yeah, we're sharing both.
74
Take it out of your way for you.
75
I was just talking to my mom about this.
76
Eating out with her, well eating out in general, one of the things I noticed, let me know if any of you guys relate.
77
Growing up, anytime my family and I would go out to eat, we would only order water and that was it.
78
That was the rule.
79
Like we just knew nothing but water, okay?
80
Like no soda, no coffee, no tea, nothing but water.
81
And my mom was saying it's because for them it felt like a waste to spend money on a drink when it should be only for food, right?
82
So I was telling her one of the luxuries of like getting older and like being able to be independent and spoil my mom is I could tell her like get whatever drink you want.
83
So she got herself a little tea.
84
The small luxuries of life.
85
Alrighty, Emma, how was the food?
86
She liked it.
87
I want to journal a little bit, so we're gonna head to a cafe around here.
88
I know we were just at a cafe, but we only had food really.
89
Now we're going to like a cafe cafe.
90
Look at this barbershop.
91
Looks like a movie set.
92
It's just vibes right now.
93
The fall vibes are in New York City.
94
It's full on.
95
Regular, I'll be expecting.
96
good wonderful welcome
97
Hello vlog!
98
I'm here with my umma.
99
We're here in West Village enjoying the fall crisp weather.
100
Honestly one of the best seasons to be in New York is the fall time because it's just such a vibe.
101
Like leaves are changing color, it's sweater weather, so it's like a cozier vibe you know.
102
And it's just so much easier to romanticize life when it's fall time.
103
See that line for crumbled cookies?
104
Like how long that line was?
105
Never that serious.
106
It's really never that serious.
107
I can't hear you.
108
Nobody else see you.
109
A thing with my girl.
110
I see you.
111
I'm all in my hands.
112
I can't hear you.
113
so guys one of my favorite parts of my apartment is sunset the views like you guys i have to show you the sunset right now
114
because it is stunning look how beautiful it is right now even pika look at her she's romanticizing her life right now watching the view like it literally looks like a painting.
115
Miss Pika is just like her mom, romanticizing her life.
116
Using Cove changed everything for me.
117
It was the first time in my life i actually felt good spending my time on an app and i literally cannot remember the last time i used an app
118
that genuinely makes me feel good after using it like looking back at all my memories creating my coves and i don't have to force myself to scroll less anymore
119
i just like naturally want to spend my time more on cove because reflecting on my own life feels better than consuming other people's i feel so much more present, more confident, and I can literally see my progress, my growth, how far I've come.
120
And I can see my own life.
121
I realized I'm a more grateful, happier individual overall, because now I actually see what I have instead of being constantly reminded of what I don't have on social media, being constantly overstimulated by that.
122
And truly when I tell you, I understand what actually matters now, if that makes sense.
123
I find myself comparing myself way less to strangers.
124
And I just love the fact that I can save anything.
125
The messy moments, random moments, Moments I usually just forget.
126
Photos that aren't the cutest, but I just want to keep for myself.
127
This is my space dedicated to me.
128
And I'm honestly just so, so excited for you guys to have it too.
129
Doomscrolling is actually a huge problem right now.
130
81% of Gen Zers literally identify themselves as doomscrollers.
131
And 83% of them say that they have an unhealthy relationship with their phone.
132
And that was literally me.
133
I was drowning, just consuming, watching other people live their lives instead of living my own.
134
And it gets worse, okay?
135
83% of people aged 16 to 24 say social media makes them feel pressure to be perfect.
136
And 87% of them say that it negatively impacts their mental health.
137
And I feel that, okay?
138
I felt that firsthand.
139
The comparison, the pressure, feeling like you're never doing enough, feeling like you're not enough.
140
And there are some real consequences.
141
Studies show that spending over three hours a day on social media puts younger people at a way higher risk for mental health problems.
142
And this one stat spooked me to my core, okay?
143
If nothing changes, the average person wastes about 25 years of their life on their phone.
144
25 years.
145
Yep.
146
But here's the part that actually gave me so much hope, and I know it will for you too.
147
People are pushing back.
148
Instagram engagement is down 28% year after year.
149
And I can tell you firsthand, I'm tired.
150
Everyone's tired.
151
Everyone is burnt out.
152
Everyone is craving something new, something real.
153
And that is so true.
154
Whenever I'm scrolling on Instagram, I barely even see the people that I actually want to see, which are my close friends, and seeing what they're up to.
155
It's just a bunch of ads and perfect people's lives.
156
And I'm a content creator, so it's a little bit different.
157
I do post on Instagram, but literally all of my close friends who are not content creators, they hate posting on Instagram.
158
And what is the point of having Instagram when you don't even get to post for yourself?
159
And the science proved that changing is possible.
160
One study found that just limiting social media to 30 minutes a day for just three weeks led to significant improvement in depression.
161
Another study found that cutting screen time to under two hours a day improved depressive symptoms and other things like stress, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing in just three weeks.
162
So this is why I've been a part of Cove and why Cove was created.
163
Cove is your tool to take your life back, to romanticize your life, not someone else's, to save all the moments that actually matter to you, your thoughts, your memories, your people, to reconnect with yourself, but more importantly, to take your attention back.
164
So with all that being said, I literally cannot wait to see what you guys create on Cove.
165
Like I'm telling you since using Cove, I already feel so much more free, more present.
166
And that is such a freeing feeling that I genuinely want each and every single one of you to feel.
167
Cove changed my life and I genuinely believe that it can change yours too.
168
Cove is available now on the app store.
169
I love you guys so, so much and I hope to catch you in the next video.
170
Bye!

Богатая библиотека видео
Почему стоит практиковать разговорный английский с этим видео?
Это видео предлагает отличный контекст для практики разговорного английского и поднятия уровня уверенности в разговорной речи. Говорящий делится личным опытом, что позволяет слушателям не только улучшить свои навыки, но и учиться сопереживать. Рассматривая такие темы, как влияние смартфонов на нашу жизнь и ментальное здоровье, вы получите возможность не только научиться вести диалог на актуальные темы, но и глубже понять, как формулировать свои мысли на английском языке.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
В данном видео используются разнообразные грамматические конструкции и выражения, которые полезны для улучшения практики разговорного английского.
- “I was basically just living through my phone” - здесь мы видим использование прогрессивного времени, которое помогает выразить состояние, продолжающееся в прошлом. Это структура, которую можно использовать, разговаривая о своих привычках.
- “I didn’t need to disconnect from my phone” - отрицательная форма в настоящем времени. Сокращая собственный опыт, можно обсуждать различные аспекты жизни, используя эту конструкцию.
- “I just needed to reconnect with my own life” - местоимение “my” подчеркивает личный опыт, что делает речь более искренней и relatable.
Применяя подобные структуры в вашей практике, вы сможете улучшить произношение английского и говорить более бегло.
Распространенные ловушки произношения
В видео встречаются слова и фразы, которые могут быть трудными для произношения. Вот несколько примеров, на которые стоит обратить внимание:
- “essential” - часто произносимое неправильно, важно правильно акцентировать слог.
- “scrolling” - четкая артикуляция и справление с двойными согласными — полезное упражнение для улучшения произношения английского.
- “anxiety” - это слово может вызывать трудности у многих изучающих английский, поэтому стоит повторить его несколько раз в разных контекстах.
Используя элементы shadowing, такие как просмотр видео и повторение после спикера, вы сможете не только запомнить новые слова, но и значительно улучшить произношение английского.
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.
