And the worst part?

22
It will make you second guess yourself.
23
It will keep you weak.

It will stop you from becoming the person you are meant to be.

So how do you take control?

Like an untrained dog, it runs wild, dragging you in every direction.
43
But with the right approach, you can train it to serve you, not sabotage you.
44

Your mind is your greatest enemy until you make it your greatest weapon.
56
So how do you do that?
57
Your thoughts are not reality.

When negative thoughts arise, question them.

86
When something upsets you, pause.
87
Ask yourself, why am I reacting this way?

需要注意的发音
说话人用了 14 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 don't, wasn't, you're。请按听到的简短形式来说。
- “th” 音: strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/, unworthy /ʌnˈwɝði/, thrive /θɹajv/

中文母语者容易读错的音：
- /v/ — 不要读成 /w/，上齿轻触下唇: observe /əbˈzɜːv/, impulsive /ɪmˈpʌlsɪv/, negativity /ˌnɛɡ.əˈtɪ.vɪ.ti/, thrive /θɹajv/, overweight /ˌoʊvɚˈweɪt/

- /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: paralyze /ˈpæɹəˌlaɪz/, relentlessly /ɹɪˈlɛntləsli/, unfamiliar /ˌʌnfəˈmɪli.ə(ɹ)/, replay /ˈɹiːpleɪ/

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
