Challenge distortions.
50
Cognitive distortions are negative beliefs that aren't based in reality.
51
If you have a bad experience, do you tend to focus on the negative and believe that things will always go poorly.
52
For instance, if you're feeling down, you may have thoughts like, I'll never get through this.
53
I'm always gonna feel sad.
54
This is an example of a cognitive distortion called overgeneralization.
55
A study by Blake and colleagues in 2018 found that people with depression have more cognitive distortions than those without depression.
56
According to Psych Central, one effective way to challenge cognitive distortions is to make a thought lock.
57
To create your own thought log, start off by writing down the situations you're in.
58
Then write down everything you're feeling and thinking.
59
Next, write down your answer to the following question.
60
Is there any evidence that these thoughts may not be true?
61
Finally, write down a more helpful alternative thought.
62
The thought log exercise can help you recognize the effect

that your thoughts are having on you and help reframe them into something more positive.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
