1
I think a lot of people let outside perception and outside things really determine not only what they want, but who they are.
2
And when you do this for so long, it gets really hard to not only discover yourself, but to discover people.
3
Because now, you know, you're only able to learn people as deep as you know yourself.
4
And I feel like time and time again, you know, you struggle with that.
5
You know, when you haven't given yourself enough time, when you've been loving other people too much and not loving yourself, you kind of realize that you've been pouring so much that you don't have anything left in your cup.
6
You know, you haven't loved yourself enough to understand who you are and what you want.
7
And you have to stop feeling guilty for choosing yourself.
8
And I think that feeling of selfishness is something that we have to understand is important.
9
We have to be selfish in that sense to feel okay, not to overshadow how other people feel, but to feel comfortable when we are looking for relationships,
10
when we are having our own things.
11
Stop feeling guilty for choosing yourself.
12
When you want to have relationships, when you want to have these connections and what you feel comes about, that is important as well.
13
You have valued what other people think and how other people feel so much that you water down your own feelings.
14
When you keep doing that, you don't get to actually discover who you are.
15
You don't get to have the things that you want
16
because you want everyone else to feel okay And this is one of the struggles of being a people pleaser, you know, you have to be okay Disappointing other people and
17
when you're living
18
so much to get these people to agree With you to
19
get these people to validate you you have to realize you're no longer living for yourself But you're living for them, you know, you're living for this image of you, you know That they have in their head and
20
when they are trying to have these relationships trying to have these connections You're going to say yes time
21
and time again just to feel that they're okay
22
You know how you feel is important too and
23
when you value other people so much you kind of lose sight of
24
that You don't realize
25
that you're not being selfish for saying how you feel you're
26
not being selfish for choosing You know who you want who you don't want in your life.
27
It's your life You have to be okay with
28
that You have to be okay that making this decision won't deteriorate from anything, but it helps you find yourself more It helps you feel more comfortable in your own things
29
and I think what a lot of people are Trying to
30
do this trying to find this they can definitely get lost in that translation
31
You know the difference between being selfish and choosing yourself, you know, and I think we have to
32
Practice choosing ourself more because of the things
33
that happen in our life You know when we're talking about getting hurt from people, you know, even then we choose to go back to these people We choose to let these people have you know, this level of power or
34
Attention over us because we don't know how to feel we don't know how we should be feeling
35
and and that's what makes it so much easier to let it deteriorate from you, to let it take away from you.
36
You don't have to understand why these people hurt you.
37
And I feel like a lot of times the people
38
that hurt you are the people that stay on your mind the most.
39
They get to have the biggest effect on your emotion and you're realizing that's damaging you.
40
You shouldn't let them have that.
41
You shouldn't let them keep coming back or doing whatever.
42
The people that hurt us the most stay on our mind the longest because we can't accept what they have already done.
43
We can't grow.
44
We can't move and we feel like we are going to be stuck on this person forever.
45
And when we keep telling ourselves that's how it's going to feel.
46
You have to understand that the people that have taken the most away from you emotionally, you don't owe them anything.
47
You don't have to be an emotional debt to these people.
48
You don't have to be dependent on how they made you feel or what they did.
49
You know, how they treated you isn't you.
50
This isn't who you are.
51
That's not, you know, a now defining term for you, but it's something that they did.
52
You know, this shows how they feel about themselves or how they are unable to appreciate you.
53
And you have to be strong enough to move on.
54
You have to accept that what this person did isn't something that has to hurt you anymore.
55
You know, that's what healing means it means realizing
56
that these things don't have to control you they don't set this parameter on you they don't set this limit
57
but it's something that you are able to break out of
58
and move comfortably with you know if you're moving in a certain way to
59
because of how this person feels you have to realize
60
that now you aren't moving for yourself anymore you know you aren't living you aren't doing these things for yourself
61
because you're still hurt on that thing that's happened in the past
62
and i feel like when you are hurting
63
when you are still stuck on
64
that it only gets harder to have you know future relationships
65
and i say that because when you choose yourself
66
when you start to do that you know and
67
and really try to grow try to have something deeper than yourself you know
68
when you know what you want when you feel so confident
69
and so ready to have this relationship i i feel like choosing yourself is showing humility
70
and a lot of people might not understand that
71
but i think knowing what's best for you means being able to have relationships
72
and admitting when you make mistakes admitting
73
when you are in the wrong you know admitting
74
when you aren't doing the best for this person you have to be comfortable enough for
75
that not a lot of people are when it comes to relationships
76
and building actual things you know a lot of people want relationships
77
but no one wants to change no one wants to admit they're wrong
78
or or admit that they make mistakes or that they can't have this or that you know
79
Your partner is going to change you
80
and that's what a relationship is going to do That's the
81
whole point you are supposed to build on each other so
82
that way you get better This person isn't supposed to force
83
you to be someone you're not it should be compatibility You have to realize
84
that with that vulnerability relationship also comes sacrifice also comes improvement
85
And when you're trying to build something you have to experience that, you know, instead of staying the same You have to realize
86
that if you get with someone who you know agrees with you and is you on every certain level
87
That's not someone you need, you know, there's no need to have two of you You have to have this dynamic.
88
You have to have this change.
89
You have to be able to grow You have to have these relationships that not only, you know Help you and support you but propel you into the person that you are supposed to be You know, that is what you're looking for.
90
You know, this soulmate isn't something you find But it's something you create
91
and when you start to choose yourself more and you start to realize
92
that You can experience this humility Finding a relationship
93
and being okay with how these people treat you gets you
94
a lot further instead of feeling sad for yourself time and time again.
95
You know, when you are stuck and dwelling on that, it's only going to get harder to have relationships now.
96
And I think so many people have gotten stuck on that
97
or caught on this past feeling that we kind of lose sight of what we want,
98
you know, and losing sight of that becomes so many different other things because we aren't really sure what we want, what you want.
99
And that takes time.
100
You have to realize that finding yourself also means creating yourself, also means editing yourself and curating,
101
you know, what certain aspects you need to feel the most you.
102
That's what you need.
103
And a lot of people are scared of that part of things, that uncertainty, that not knowing, you know, what they're going to be like in the future or how this person is going to treat them.
104
That's the whole point.
105
You have to just be comfortable choosing yourself before letting people choose who you are.
106
And I think over time, the more you're able to do this, to practice this and to understand that what you want has value and that you get to determine your own value.
107
That's another thing.
108
Your own perception.
109
Your perception shapes your reality.
110
If you have this idea that you're unlovable or that people aren't, you know, going to look out for you or aren't going to do this best thing, you have to realize that that's something that's going to happen now.
111
It's going to be so much easier to see something negative.
112
You know, the same way if you go out the house and only want to see red cars, it's going to be so much easier to notice red cars because you tell yourself this.
113
You're going to miss out on all the other things, all the other wonders that are out in reality, because you are stuck in this negative, pessimistic mindset.
114
You know, if you want to feel better, that means you have to stop building a home out of that sadness.
115
And I think a lot of times when I mean choosing yourself, it also means living for yourself, living comfortably, living, you know,
116
knowing that you don't have to live in that pit of sadness and rumination all the time.
117
You know, that deep, pensive feeling you have all the time isn't you.
118
Your emotions aren't you.
119
You're able to change from that.
120
And I think a lot of people forget that they don't have to let it, you know, connect to them.
121
They don't have to let it be them, but it can rather be, you know, something that they observe, something that they are able to learn and to grow on, you know, time and time again.
122
And I think people forget that.
123
People are so scared of, you know, their actual relations or the things that they feel, and they don't want to face that.
124
So they drown themselves with other things with temporary relationships with people who might not care about them
125
but might give it to them for a little bit
126
or whatever that thing may be we're so scared of facing who we are
127
and looking in the mirror
128
that i think that's what's happening alone you know that's a lot of people's you know actual reality is they're
129
so scared of being alone that they have to be with people time
130
and time again they have to always be with someone always talk to someone always be texting someone
131
and you get to see that that solitude is important because you get to not only analyze yourself but analyze your emotions.
132
You know, though your emotions are something you have to let control you, I feel like, you know, it's okay to detach from your emotions in order to observe them.
133
You have to realize that these things don't have to, you know, control you, but it's rather something that you are able to understand.
134
You know, you're able to understand how you feel
135
and see these things and to know that it doesn't have to be a determining factor.
136
You know, you have to practice this emotional independence a lot of times, you know, and I feel like when we're
137
kind of letting people you know get into our life or
138
or do these things
139
and whatever they do now makes us you know feel a certain way that's not resilience
140
and it makes sense to have feelings it makes sense to
141
feel like you know what this person did hurt you
142
and i think everyone's experienced this level of hurt
143
but we can practice moving on
144
and feeling okay instead of diving down each time again you
145
know it's the over analyzing it's the oh what could i have done better or what should i have done.
146
It's not always you.
147
You're not the problem in a lot of this.
148
You have to realize that.
149
And that's not in an egotistical sense or that sense that you make no harm or that you do no problems.
150
But it's realistic to understand that when people hurt you, it's not your issue.
151
That's not something that's based on you.
152
That's not something that you have to fix or you have to learn.
153
You immediately look at what I did, what could I have done or what should I have done when really that only makes it so much harder.
154
You keep asking yourself these questions of what you could have done
155
when you realize that that person is the one who made the mistake.
156
They decided to treat you this way. And
157
when people are telling you know they didn't intend to hurt
158
you you have to understand what did they exactly intend to
159
do what were they looking to do with this decision with
160
this idea you know people are fully aware of how they are making you feel
161
when they go out of their way and do these things you know
162
and when you want to have a relationship
163
when you want to feel comfortable enough to be open with someone to have someone you're pouring to you
164
while you're pouring into them it gets
165
so much harder to accept them it gets so much harder to practice
166
that resilience but we have to learn you know we have to be able to understand
167
that we are able to learn this stuff able to move on able to do all these things
168
because we want better for ourself
169
that makes sense you know we want to feel better we want better for ourself
170
and time and time again we don't know where to start
171
and it starts with choosing yourself it starts with focusing on yourself it starts with looking in the mirror and understanding everything
172
that goes into who you are the emotions you know the the flaws the pros the cons the things
173
that your past your future who you think you are now
174
even in the present all these things add up to who you want to be
175
and i think the best part about this is once you imagine
176
that person who you want to be you know your dream
177
version of yourself the perfect version as soon as you start acting like you're already
178
that person you've become them you are that person now
179
and i think a lot of people forget that
180
that they are able to change their future day after day
181
it's really just a simulation of a bunch of good choices in a row you make enough good choices
182
and you'll be set for life
183
and that's how it works there's no need to overdo it
184
or to feel a certain way start feeling more comfortable with yourself
185
start realizing
186
that you have a voice too in this world you get
187
to say how you feel you get to do what you want
188
and that matters people don't want to hear
189
that people don't want to accept it
190
or they might feel like well i'm not anything special no we are significant in
191
that way you are able to learn from yourself
192
and learn from these things and i feel like that growth is something that we have to feel more comfortable with
193
feel ready to to to live in and to accept
194
when we want to feel better when we want to have
195
that thing you are exactly you know the very thing
196
that determines your future and as soon as you realize
197
that as soon as you start to make
198
that change the easier it's going to be you are able
199
to grow you know as soon as you realize how precious you know life is in all these moments
200
choosing yourself will become the easiest thing in the world
201
and you have to value
202
that you're not living for anyone you're not living to be understood but you're living for yourself

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
