Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: 6 Habits To Transform Your Life | The Tommy Podcast | Episode 13

Hi, good evening everyone.

Welcome back to the Tommy Podcast, where I believe a healthy life starts with a healthy mind.

So if you're on the quest to improve your sleep quality, boost your positivity, enhance your English skill, and end your day with peacefulness,

you are in the right place.

So what's the mindset I have for you today?

First of all, it's been so long since my last episode

because there are a series of things that's going on in my life recently.

My wedding, Christmas and TED holiday, Lunar New Year, things like that.

So I've been pretty busy lately.

I've been procrastinating things lately.

But today I decided to work on this project.

even though I know it's not perfect yet.

But I can't wait for things to be perfect to start.

I just start and things will fall into place, things will, you know, work out the way that I want it to.

So, what's the mindset I have for you today?

If you're looking to improve your life,

reach your goals, or to become a better version of yourself in 2025, You're right here.

You made a great decision already.

So, you know, you don't need to go anywhere or do anything.

Just sit back and relax and take this episode seriously.

A lot of people think that building a happy and successful life is complicated.

They believe you need an expensive course or advanced skills or big and major life changes.

But in today's episode, I will share with you 6 simple yet powerful habits

that can help you achieve anything that you want in your life.

Like I said before, it doesn't require a lot of time or money, just a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone.

And that, my friend, is where your real growth begins.

Your habits shape your life.

They can lift you up or hold you back.

This episode is inspired by Louis Howes, one of my favorite authors, mentors, and podcasters.

I've learned so much from his series of The School of Greatness.

It's filled with valuable insights from incredible guests, mentors, doctors, athletes, and specialists.

So if you love podcasts, I highly recommend you checking it out.

You'll find so many life-changing tips and strategies.

Give it a listen, you won't regret it.

And now, back to today's episode.

6 Habits to Transform Your Life in 2025 These habits come from my own experiences,

real life examples and proven methods from experts and if you apply them, they can help you make 2025 the best year of your life.

And like I said before, you don't need to spend a lot of money or time.

What truly matters is your willingness to step outside of your comfort zone, stay mindful and most importantly, stay consistent.

So if you're ready to make the most of 2025, grab a pen and paper,

write these habits down, start with one at a time and watch how your life transforms.

Remember, no pressure, you don't need to do everything at once, take it step by step, Maybe one habit per month.

Find an accountability partner.

Having someone with the same goal can keep you motivated.

Stay committed.

It takes 21 days to build a habit.

And most importantly, start small and stay consistent.

Habits are powerful.

Think about it.

Good habits like waking up early, exercising, planning your day, and staying focused can bring you closer to your goals.

Bad habits on the other side, like procrastinating, unhealthy eating habits, constantly checking your phone, like social media,

can bring you time and lead you to stress, frustration, and dissatisfaction.

That's why building positive habits is so important.

If you want a happier, more fulfilling, and successful life, it all starts with the choices that you make every single day.

Nobody's perfect.

We all have bad habits.

I have them, so do you.

But the real difference between successful and unsuccessful people is how they handle them.

Successful people recognize their bad habits.

They work on breaking them and replace them with the positive and healthy ones.

In this episode, I'll be sharing 6 habits that can truly transform your life.

But remember, you don't need to do them all at once.

I don't want you to go all in for a few days, then burn out and forget everything.

Instead, take notes, write down the key techniques and reminders from this episode.

Create a simple plan, start with one habit at a time.

Once you've mastered it, move on to the next.

So are you ready to make 2025 the best year of your life?

Let's just jump right into the first habit.

Habit number one.

Have a clear vision for your life.

I've got a story for you.

Two groups set out on a journey to inspect a small village.

They both started from the same point, but there was a key difference between them.

The first group, this group had a clear plan.

They knew exactly what they needed to do, why it mattered, and what's the purpose of the trip.

Along the way, they had signs showing their progress, how far they've come and how much was left.

Because of this, they stayed confident, motivated and focused.

The second group on the other hand, even though they had the same number of people, but they weren't given the clear details for the solid plan.

There were no signs to guide them at first, they were excited.

But as the journey went on, many of them lost motivation.

In the end, only a few managed to reach the final destination.

So what's the lesson here?

Having a clear vision and purpose in life is essential.

Have you ever taken the time to sit down and write down your life purpose?

What did you achieve last year?

What are your biggest goals this year?

Now is the perfect time to reflect whether it's at the end of the year,

looking back on what you've accomplished or at the beginning of the new year, setting big milestones for the future.

Be clear about your goal, Break them down into smaller steps by quarter, by month, and even by day.

And track it pretty frequently.

Stay focused on your vision and let it guide every part of your journey.

You know, I have a clear vision for my life, my work, and everything that I do aligns with that vision.

The reason I started Time English, the reason I launched the special campaigns and projects

is to make the world a happier place

and everyone can feel more confident to walk outside the world with the positivity

and the great energy that they have everything that i do connects with

that vision i mean everything

so start practicing having a clear vision for your life your vision It could be for your business,

your personal growth, or your relationships.

100

Whatever it is, make sure everything you do ties back to that vision.

101

Take some time today to sit down and write it down.

102

The second habit that I want you to build this year is to have a positive attitude, even when life doesn't go your way.

103

It is easy to stay positive when everything is going well.

104

But the real challenge is keeping that mindset even when you face struggles.

105

Think about it, when you have a problem, it feels huge, like it's right in front of your face, blocking everything else.

106

It's all you can focus on.

107

Many people react by blaming themselves, feeling like life is unfair, and falling to negative thoughts

108

and sadly this mindset can lead to dangerous consequences some turn to unhealthy escapes like alcohol drugs

109

or even worse thinking there's no way out the other day

110

one of my students came to me completely depressed he had just lost his job that's the only thing

111

that he could do the only way he could support his family he told me i've lost everything i've lost

112

because i've lost my job.

113

I looked at him and asked, are you still alive?

114

He said yes.

115

Are you still able to work?

116

Yes.

117

To talk, to see, and to walk?

118

Yes.

119

Then you haven't lost everything.

120

You know, maybe it's just a challenge.

121

You never know.

122

The next job might be even a better one.

123

That's the God's direction.

124

You know, the past, the past.

125

You can't change it.

126

The only thing that that you can do right now is to accept the fact that you can't change it.

127

It's out of your hand.

128

So you can choose to focus on the future.

129

You can start over and create something better.

130

So how do you keep a positive mindset even when life is tough?

131

Taking a step back from a problem.

132

Instead of focusing only on what's wrong, start noticing everything else around you.

133

Look at what you still have, the people who support you, your skills, your health, your ability to move forward.

134

When you shift your focus to gratitude, your problems won't seem as overwhelming.

135

A positive attitude doesn't mean that you have to ignore your problems, you have to run away from it.

136

Nope.

137

It means you face with them, with your strength and the belief that things can get better.

138

It means reminding yourself that every tough time is temporary.

139

There's always a way forward.

140

So when things go wrong, don't let the negativity take over.

141

Take a deep breath, look at the bigger picture and ask yourself, what can I learn from this?

142

How can I grow?

143

Your attitude shapes your future.

144

So choose to face the challenges with a strong and positive mindset.

145

Another method that works really well for dealing with negative thoughts is writing things down.

146

When I feel stressed or even burned out, you know, I take some time quietly in solitude, I write down my problems.

147

I have two columns, the first one problems and the next one, you know, solutions.

148

And putting thoughts on a paper can help me a lot.

149

They help me see the problems more clearly, making them feel less overwhelming.

150

It also allows me to, you know, process emotions and find solutions and shift my focus to what I can control.

151

So whenever you feel stuck, I highly recommend you trying this method.

152

Find a quiet place, nobody, no phone, grab a pen and paper, write things down.

153

You know, it can be a simple yet powerful way to clear your mind and regain perspective.

154

I hope it's useful for you it a try

155

because it works for me definitely it will work for you

156

give it a try moving to habit number three practice giving back this habit might seem surprising at first

157

but it's essential especially in the world where many people just

158

only focus on their own success I once heard about the

159

best way to live our life to the fullest is to serve other people.

160

Think about it, a great teacher doesn't just teach to earn salary, they help students grow and become more confident.

161

A chef's job isn't just about cooking and getting recognition, it's about creating an amazing experience for people to enjoy their food.

162

See it's double happiness when you can create values for people.

163

You can be super happy than when you just like create the benefits for yourself.

164

So when you focus only on yourself, you might get quick results but you always feel like you're chasing something,

165

you keep running for something else.

166

But when you focus on helping others, you go much further and the happiness you gain is even greater.

167

That's why I believe so strongly in Tommy English.

168

A few years ago, I created our mission and vision with this in mind.

169

Our logo has three parts of the triangle.

170

The left side, our teamers, which are our team members who are directly working with the students,

171

or whether they work in the marketing department, our hidden heroes, design editors, things like that.

172

they are a teamer.

173

So that's the left side and on the right side is our students and our partners coming to us.

174

And what we do, we stick to the final goal that we have on top is the society and the community.

175

We want to build the healthy working environment where everyone feels free to be themselves,

176

to create values for other people, to help students be more confident,

177

to help them overcome their fear of speaking English and walk outside the world with great confidence.

178

Together we serve the larger community and other than that every campaign

179

and project and plan that we create aligns with this purpose.

180

In the end real success isn't about what you get, it's about what you give.

181

So ask Ask yourself today, how can you help someone even in a small way?

182

When you can focus on others, it feels more meaningful and happy.

183

Habit number 4, Express gratitude and appreciation.

184

Expressing gratitude seems easy, but making it a habit takes effort and consistency.

185

It has changed my life a lot, helping me stay focused and positive.

186

Every night I write down 3 things I'm grateful for, whether it's a person, my job or just the ability to walk, to see and to breathe freely.

187

I never forget to say thank you to my loved ones.

188

And I love sending thank you notes to my staff.

189

At Tom English, you know, I always try to encourage my team members to practice gratitude.

190

For every meeting, we take a moment to share something that we are thankful for.

191

It shifts our mindset, keeps us motivated and strengthens our connection.

192

The truth is, when you can focus on what you have instead of what you lack, life feels richer.

193

The more you appreciate, the more life gives back.

194

So take a moment today, who or what are you grateful for?

195

Write it down.

196

Tip number 5.

197

Set a healthy relationship with boundaries.

198

Setting boundaries is not about being selfish.

199

It's about protecting your peace.

200

Sometimes you have to disappoint other people to stay true to yourself.

201

And the most powerful word that you can learn?

202

No. Saying no doesn't mean that you're being rude or uncaring.

203

It means you're respecting yourself.

204

So when you say no to others, you're actually saying yes to yourself, to your own well-being.

205

Now think about it.

206

If a friend asked you that they need a ride from the airport at 5 o'clock, would you be there on time?

207

If your boss asked you to come early for the meeting, would you show up on time?

208

Probably yes.

209

But what happens when you promise yourself that you're gonna wake up early tomorrow,

210

for a walk, you're gonna read a few pages of book before going to bed, or just take some time for yourself.

211

Then you skip it because you know that nothing happens.

212

But this is a problem.

213

We respect others more than we respect ourselves.

214

Here's the truth.

215

You're just as important as your job, your friends, your family members, or anyone else in this world.

216

treating yourself this way.

217

Practice setting a healthy relationship with your boundaries this year.

218

The truth is, no matter what you do, you might disappoint or upset others by one way or another.

219

But the person that you should never disappoint is yourself.

220

Start small and say no to the things that drain you.

221

Stand up for what you truly want and start feeling guilty for prioritizing your well-being.

222

The more you practice, the more natural it will become.

223

Remember, protecting your peace is never selfish.

224

It is necessary.

225

And the last habit that I want you to take up this year is to take care of your physical health.

226

Everyone says health is important.

227

But most people only start to notice, to care about their health when something goes wrong.

228

Think about it.

229

When do you really pay attention to your health?

230

when you're sick, you're sitting at home, you couldn't really go anywhere, right?

231

But taking care of your health isn't a one-time thing.

232

It's a daily practice that needs consistency.

233

Your physical health is deeply connected to your mental health and your emotional well-being.

234

It is easy to fall into the trap of laziness,

235

choosing to sit, scroll and watch TV instead of going out for a walk or walking out.

236

That's where the 5 second rule from Mel Robbins comes in.

237

This is something that I've learned and I've been practicing successfully.

238

So it's the simple but powerful way to beat procrastination.

239

Whenever you feel yourself hesitating, count down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, then move.

240

Don't sit there and argue with yourself because you just create excuses for not to doing something.

241

I've applied this best in the morning.

242

My alarm goes off at 420, even on cold rainy days.

243

The moment I feel like staying in bed, I count 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and then I get up.

244

You know what?

245

It always feels like the best decision of my day

246

because I've already won the first battle and that's the hardest part that I can do.

247

So the rest of the day feels so much easier.

248

The key is to start and stay consistent.

249

There's so many ways to take care of your health like playing sports,

250

going to the gym, doing home workouts or even just taking a short work every single day.

251

Don't plan big, just start small.

252

Invite your friend to join with you.

253

You may not feel like doing it at first but don't hesitate to try.

254

Motivation often comes after your action.

255

Number 4, if you don't have any habit of exercising, start with a 5-minute walk around your neighborhood,

256

then gradually increases to your habit,

257

just 15 minutes to 20 minutes until it becomes a part of your daily routine.

258

Don't push yourself to do hard.

259

If you wake up at 7 and suddenly decide to set your alarm at 5 o'clock, chances are you won't keep it up.

260

Maybe you manage for a few days, but long term is not sustainable.

261

Build some habits that you can actually stick to.

262

Taking care of your health isn't just about exercise, it's about being mindful of your diet.

263

We eat to live, not we live to eat.

264

That's something that I've been telling people.

265

So prioritize fruits and vegetables over processed food or sexy red meat.

266

And don't stress too much about the weight gain

267

or loss a clear plan

268

but remember it's okay to enjoy some of the special occasion I do follow a strict diet

269

but when it's time to celebrate I let myself enjoy a moment balance is a key just remember

270

that so question for you what's a one step

271

that you can take today for your health at the end of the day your habits shape you alive.

272

So that's the end of our episode today.

273

Six habits.

274

Let me just wrap up a little bit.

275

Number one, have a clear vision for your life.

276

Habit number two, have a positive attitude even when things are not going right.

277

Habit number three, practice giving back.

278

Remember the best way to live your life the fullest is to serve others.

279

Number four, practice gratitude and appreciation.

280

What are you grateful for today?

281

Number five, set a healthy relationship with boundaries.

282

Say no more often is protecting your peace of mind.

283

And the last one, taking care of your physical health, because it will lead to the final success.

284

Your habits shape your life.

285

Small, consistent actions will always bring greater results than big and unsustainable changes.

286

Whether it's setting boundaries, expressing gratitude, or taking care of your health.

287

The key is to start and stay consistent.

288

Remember, you don't have to be perfect.

289

You just have to show up for yourself every single day.

290

Growth isn't making, you know, dramatic changes overnight.

291

It's about choosing progress even in the smallest way.

292

So which habit are you going to work on first?

293

Start today.

294

Start small and trust the process.

295

your future self will thank you.

296

If you found this episode helpful, share it with someone who needs to hear this.

297

And if you're ready to take your English to the next level, join me at Tommy English.

298

I'll see you in the next episode.

299

300

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
