1
Do you ever notice how when life punches you in the gut, your mind starts attacking you too?
2
And suddenly you're not just stressed, but you're spiraling and now you're finding flaws in everything in your life.
3
Your job, and your body, and your future, and your own worth.
4
Here's the truth that most people never actually learn: happiness is not what happens after the pain is gone.
5
It's what you practice during it.
6
When you only focus on what's going wrong, your brain becomes a magnet for misery.
7
You find more things to be miserable about.
8
And that's a really, really slippery slope.
9
So what if you could actually rewire your brain to find the good in everything, even if your entire life is on fire?
10
And if you can train yourself to search for even a sliver of good,
11
your entire mindset and even your brain chemistry and your brain wiring will start to shift.
12
And so let's dive into it.
13
Let's just call it like it is, right?
14
Most people, very good people in this world, completely cave when things go sideways in their lives.
15
If bills start to stack up, they shut down.
16
If their relationship If they get bad news, they start finding everything that's wrong in their life.
17
Every single little teeny tiny thing.
18
It's kind of like as soon as like one thing just goes wrong, the brain is like, see, I told you your entire life was trash.
19
It's like just this, you know, it's like this little teeny tiny house of cards
20
and you just give it one little flick and the entire thing falls apart.
21
Does that sound familiar?
22
Well, you have to understand that if you don't actually start to work on your mindset around
23
It's only going to get worse and worse, and you're going to start to develop patterns to find the bad in everything.
24
Like, you probably know somebody, I have somebody in the top of my head right now that I can think of that is negative all the time.
25
You could win the lottery, And they'd be like, "Oh my God, do you know how much you're going to have to pay in taxes?" Like they can find the bad in everything.
26
And they're that way because they have accidentally, I'm sure they didn't do it on purpose, they've accidentally wired themselves to find the bad in everything.
27
But people who really actually become resilient and develop a really resilient mindset are different.
28
The people who have done the inner work and worked on themselves
29
and worked on their mindset and worked on their trauma and worked on their past and everything, they see life differently than everybody else.
30
Like those who have spent time going and finding the things that's going on, like in the trenches, in their mind and in their life, the ones that are doing the real inner work,
31
they don't collapse when things get hard.
32
Why is that?
33
Because they've trained their brain to find the good, even if it's hidden under layers and layers and layers of chaos.
34
Now, I want to be very clear.
35
I'm not talking about toxic positivity.
36
I'm talking about you finding good
37
in anything that's happening so
38
that you can become a better person thinking better to work out of whatever negative thing is happening in your life.
39
This is called neurological resilience.
40
It's like you learn to internalize the truth behind the yin and the yang, which is within every hard thing, there is something good.
41
And even if it's tiny, if you search for it, you can find it.
42
You just have to be willing to look.
43
And so I want you to remember this phrase the rest of your life.
44
Happiness is a choice.
45
Now, that phrase...
46
When I put it on Instagram or I talk about it on an Instagram Reel, it pisses a lot of people off.
47
It triggers a lot of people.
48
Because they're like, "Well, you don't know my life and you don't know what's happened to me."
49
You have to understand not some feel -good slogan.
50
And I'm not being all woo -woo when I'm like, "Hey, happiness is a choice.
51
Your life is on fire.
52
Act like it's not on fire." What I'm saying is not a feel -good slogan.
53
It's neuroscience.
54
Your brain is always rewiring itself.
55
always.
56
And every time that you try to find something good, which means that you are not being on autopilot anymore,
57
but you're actually taking time and energy and intention to find something good,
58
you're actually strengthening the part of your brain that is responsible for positive pattern recognition.
59
Now, on the opposite side of that,
60
if you are actually looking for the for negative pattern recognition.
61
And so in neuroscience, there's a thing called Hebb's Law, and they say neurons that fire together, wire together, which means that anytime that you think something a certain way,
62
that wiring becomes stronger.
63
And if you decide that you want to think differently, you're going to actually start to wire together new neurons that have never been together.
64
And so when you practice happiness and gratitude and finding the good in things, especially when you don't feel like it,
65
you're actually literally reshaping your brain You're doing three different things.
66
You're strengthening your prefrontal cortex, which is where your decision -making and your optimism comes from.
67
You're soothing your amygdala, which is where your fear and your threat detection comes from.
68
And you're building more dopamine receptors in your brain, which is where motivation and pleasure comes from.
69
So over time, this actually will become your new default setting.
70
So you don't even have to try to find the good in things.
71
You'll actually just start living that way.
72
And I can tell you, from 100 % in my own anecdotal story Trust me,
73
I was the definition of a negative Nancy when I was younger.
74
I could find the negative in anything and I could give excuses
75
and I could tell you why I was screwed over all the time
76
and why life wasn't working out for me and other people always had good luck and I had bad luck.
77
But now my default setting is to find the good in everything.
78
But I also do, just so you know, have the overall, because now that I've been living my life now for a while, and I've seen things happen for my benefit,
79
even when I didn't think they were going to be in my benefit, I truly believe, and I have this like just thought over my entire life,
80
that with all 40 trillion of my cells, I believe it, that...
81
everything that's happening in my life is happening for me.
82
Not happening to me, because if it's happening to me, I'm a victim.
83
If it's happening for me, then it's actually happening for me to learn or grow or get better or to have a better life.
84
And I believe that to my core.
85
And so let's actually tell you with research.
86
So I gave you my anecdotal, oh yeah, this is what happened in my life, but I don't wanna just give you fluff, I wanna actually talk real studies for those of you guys that want proof, right?
87
So there was a study that was done at Indiana University where they used fMRI scans to show participants who practice gratitude.
88
and they showed that the people who practice gratitude showed more activity in the medial prefrontal cortex of their brain,
89
which is the area that's linked to learning and decision making.
90
They studied them six months later, and they actually found that the effects lasted over six months after the study ended.
91
Which means when you train yourself to look for the good in something, your brain eventually starts doing it on autopilot.
92
Now, I don't want to give you just one study in case you're very, you need a lot of studies and really a lot of proof to believe me.
93
There was actually a study that was done by Dr. Martin Segelman, who is considered the father of positive psychology,
94
and showed that people who practice optimistic reframing, so whenever something happens, you find the optimism in that situation,
95
were more likely to recover from setbacks and experience less depression in their lives over time.
96
And then the last one, Harvard psychologist Dr. Shawn Acker found that five minutes a day of positive journaling
97
and finding the positive in their life significantly increased happiness and reduced stress hormones like cortisol in somebody's brain.
98
So this isn't, like I said, toxic positivity, like, oh my god, the house is on fire.
99
I'm just going to act like it's not on fire.
100
It's not toxic positivity, it's neurological facts that your brain actually starts to change and rewire itself.
101
for the good and finding the good when you actually take time
102
and intention to find the good in anything that's going bad.
103
And you have to understand that the rewiring is not something that just happens instantly.
104
It's not like you do it one time.
105
But if you stay consistent, it will be inevitable.
106
the way you like to think of, the way you should think of your brain is kind of like a big cornfield, right?
107
Like think of your brain like this giant cornfield and this new, maybe you've been negative your entire life and you're just trying to figure out how to be more positive.
108
Every time that you choose to find the good, even when it's buried, even when it's in the middle of a bunch of chaos, it's like walking a new path.
109
the very first time in that cornfield.
110
Is it gonna be hard to walk through a cornfield?
111
If it's a brand new path, yeah.
112
But the next time you do it, it's gonna be a little bit easier.
113
And the next time you do it, a little bit easier.
114
The hundredth time you do it, it's gonna be way easier.
115
Eventually, that path becomes clearer.
116
it becomes easier for you to walk down, aka to start to think through,
117
and it becomes a road that you actually will start to take in your brain over time, even without thinking after a while.
118
But the truth that most people avoid in this situation is you do have to push yourself.
119
Like you have to push yourself sometimes to when you see shit hitting the fan, be like, okay, I've got to get out of my victim mindset.
120
I've got to stop being so sad and I've got to figure out.
121
What is the good that could possibly come from this?
122
How could this be working out in my favor?
123
What lessons can I get from this?
124
It's like happiness just doesn't float down from the clouds and it's not delivered to you by a unicorn, right?
125
Like you don't just wait for something to make you feel happy.
126
You have to decide that my natural state will be happiness.
127
So you have to sit there and say, I'm going to find one thing to be grateful for today.
128
I will shift my focus, even when my brain wants to catastrophize everything and think that my life is in shambles.
129
I'm going to stop feeding this victim story in my head, and I'm going to find out how the world is working for me.
130
Because if you don't, your brain will just keep collecting evidence that your life sucks.
131
And that's a natural part of our brain.
132
It's called the negativity bias.
133
It's like this way in almost every single person.
134
I've done entire episodes on the negativity bias you can go back and listen to.
135
So your brain will always look for and collect evidence.
136
that things are going wrong as a protection mechanism for you.
137
And so you know who also collects evidence?
138
Your subconscious mind.
139
And whatever you think about a lot And whatever you repeat the most, it will believe.
140
So if you say stuff like, "Oh, I'm stuck," or, "I don't have any good luck," or, "Nothing ever works out for me," or, "Life is just hard and I'm always screwed over," Guess what?
141
That is actually going to become your truth.
142
And so what you want to do is this: when something becomes hard, acknowledge it.
143
I'm not saying, don't be like, "Oh my god, no, this is, yeah, no, it's completely fine." I'm not saying that you need to, you know, spray perfume on a turd.
144
What I'm saying is clean up the turd and then make the floor that was once on shinier.
145
Find the good in that thing. So acknowledge.
146
Okay, yeah, this is tough.
147
This is really hard.
148
I really do feel it.
149
then you want to just breathe through it.
150
Because when stuff is really hard, your brain's usually all over the place.
151
And when your emotions are high, your logic is low.
152
So you breathe.
153
Anchor yourself in the present moment.
154
It might be two minutes you need to breathe or if shit's really hitting the fan, it might be ten minutes.
155
And then just ask yourself to try to see, you know, change your perception in some sort of way from this is so bad, this is so bad, this is so bad and doom and gloom.
156
Ask yourself, What can this teach me?
157
Like what's one good thing that could come from this?
158
Like how can this circumstance possibly make me stronger.
159
Or like, if everything is happening for me, That must mean that this thing's gonna make me better.
160
So what lessons can I pull from this?
161
I And it might be like, you know, I'm actually learning to ask for help.
162
Or this pain that's happening is showing me that I need to figure out new boundaries.
163
Or it could be even, "I'm still here in that something." And you can find the good in the fact that you're still here.
164
And that becomes your access point for starting to rewire.
165
So it's like, what good can come from this?
166
What lessons can I pull from this?
167
How can I make this make me stronger?
168
What can this teach me?
169
And you start to actually ask yourself these questions, because when you ask yourself a question, or ask anybody a question, you're framing their perception.
170
And you're framing your own perception from something's wrong, this is not good, to what can I learn from this?
171
How can I get better in this?
172
And so I want you to understand, in your life, happiness is a choice.
173
It really is.
174
And if you're going to have a great life, if you're going to be happy in your life, then you need to make the choice that no matter what happens,
175
You're going to end up having a great life
176
that everything in this universe that happens around you is happening for you for your greater good.
177
You're not the story of your past.
178
You're the narrator of it, and you're the person who gets to reframe everything that's happened to you, to reinterpret everything that's happened to you,
179
to rewrite everything that's happened to you, and to see it from a different perspective.
180
And like life gets hard.
181
You're not going to go through this life without at least a decent amount of pain.
182
But when you're hardwired for growth, you push yourself, you smile through the tears, you laugh in the middle of chaos,
183
and you keep finding the gold that's hidden inside of the dirt.
184
Because every single time that you do, what you're doing is you're building yourself and your brain neurologically into a stronger,
185
happier, and more powerful version of you.

背景與語境
在生活中，當我們遇到挫折時，內心的掙扎往往會加劇。很多時候，我們不僅面臨外部的困難，內心也會開始對自己進行攻擊。同時，這種消極情緒可能會讓我們無意間放大生活中的所有缺陷，如工作、身體、未來以及自我價值。演講者指出，真正的幸福不是在痛苦消退後才到來的，而是在痛苦中所能練習的心態。這種理念對學習英語的朋友們尤其適用，因為在學習語言的過程中，克服心理障礙、保持積極的態度是成功的重要因素。
日常交流的五個關鍵短語
- 生活是艱難的，但幸福是一個選擇。
- 當生活出現問題時，我們應該尋求積極的一面。
- 我們的思維方式決定了我們對生活的看法。
- 幸福並不依賴於外部環境，而是內心的狀態。
- 具備心理韌性的能力可以幫助我們在困難中成長。
逐步跟讀指南
要有效提高英語口語能力，以下是一個逐步的shadow speak訓練方案，幫助你更好地理解和應用影片中的內容：
- 首先，觀看影片: 嘗試不帶字幕地看一遍，理解整體主題和情感。
- 重複聆聽: 第二遍觀看時，開啟字幕，重點關注演講者的語調和發音。
- 跟讀練習: 使用英語影子跟讀技術，模仿演講者的語音語調。儘量捕捉他們表達中的情感和重點，這有助於內化語言表達。
- 分析短語: 從剛才的關鍵短語中選擇幾個，理解其用法，並試著用它們構建自己的句子。
- 定期複習: 每週至少花時間回顧一次這些短語和跟讀技巧，確保能流利使用它們，提高英語交流能力。
通過以上步驟，結合shadow speech和日常實踐，你將逐漸建立起自信，並運用所學英語表達自己的情緒與觀點。記住，持續的練習會讓你在學習英語的旅程中收穫更多的快樂與成就感。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | I've been living · have been watching |
| 條件句 if + 從句，will/would + 動詞 — 條件及其結果 | if you stay consistent, it will be · if you don't, your brain will just |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | people who really · people who have · those who have |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | have done · have spent · they've trained |
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。
