You don't need to put a limit.
0:00.00 – 0:01.28 (1.3s)
2
Oh, this is as far as it goes.
0:00.64 – 0:02.66 (2.0s)
3
Anything beyond that, I don't deserve.
0:02.60 – 0:04.06 (1.5s)
4
Why would you?
0:04.74 – 0:05.20 (0.5s)
5
Hello, my loves.
0:05.54 – 0:06.14 (0.6s)
6
Welcome back to Lavendaire.
0:06.14 – 0:07.10 (1.0s)
7
Today, I want to share beliefs that will change your life.
0:07.26 – 0:10.36 (3.1s)
8
These are beliefs that will really shift the way you see things because all beliefs are our own inner knowing, our own inner certainty.
0:10.48 – 0:19.60 (9.1s)
9
And sometimes we have beliefs that are rooted in fear, beliefs that are hurting us and holding us back.
0:19.58 – 0:25.74 (6.2s)
10
And so we need to kind of like declutter those negative belief patterns erase them and replace them with positive ones.
0:25.20 – 0:33.26 (8.1s)
11
So let's talk about how you can shift your life from just your mind.
0:33.74 – 0:38.20 (4.5s)
12
By the way, how cute is this Christmas plant?
0:38.18 – 0:39.84 (1.7s)
13
Isn't it so like, I love that pop of red.
0:40.00 – 0:42.50 (2.5s)
14
So cute, right?
0:42.78 – 0:43.60 (0.8s)
15
My mom gave this to me.
0:43.70 – 0:44.90 (1.2s)
16
I'm becoming that house person, home decor person, changing with the seasons.
0:44.78 – 0:50.80 (6.0s)
17
Belief number one, I love myself unconditionally.
0:51.50 – 0:54.80 (3.3s)
18
This one is learning true self-love.
0:55.48 – 0:58.14 (2.7s)
19
Self-love is the foundation of creating a life you love.
0:58.76 – 1:02.50 (3.7s)
20
Because when you truly love yourself, you want the best for yourself.
1:02.44 – 1:05.74 (3.3s)
21
And only when you want the best for yourself is it possible for you to actually get the best for yourself.
1:05.58 – 1:12.06 (6.5s)
22
Imagine if you are not loving yourself, you're putting yourself down, you're being your own critic, you're being your own enemy.
1:12.48 – 1:19.12 (6.6s)
23
You're the one holding yourself back.
1:19.52 – 1:21.90 (2.4s)
24
You're the one that's doubting yourself, not believing you can succeed and do great things.
1:21.72 – 1:26.54 (4.8s)
25
So if you could only learn to switch that voice in your head to truly lean towards self-love, unconditional self-love, it means that you'll be able to unconditionally support yourself and be compassionate and gentle with yourself, no matter where you are in life, no matter what life throws at you.
1:27.02 – 1:45.92 (18.9s)
26
And in a way, the more powerful your self-love is, the more invincible you are to everything in life.
1:46.36 – 1:54.16 (7.8s)
27
It not only protects you and holds you with love through the difficult moments, but it also empowers you and lifts you up for when you are meant to fly and soar in life.
1:54.54 – 2:06.62 (12.1s)
28
So truly self-love is like the secret to living your best life.
2:06.08 – 2:10.92 (4.8s)
29
Togi bear, you want to come here?
2:11.00 – 2:12.22 (1.2s)
30
Hello, Togi.
2:15.56 – 2:16.96 (1.4s)
31
He just got a haircut.
2:17.20 – 2:18.54 (1.3s)
32
Belief number two, I believe in myself.
2:18.76 – 2:21.82 (3.1s)
33
So this is simply self-belief.
2:21.90 – 2:24.04 (2.1s)
34
You believe in your capabilities.
2:24.24 – 2:26.08 (1.8s)
35
You believe in yourself.
2:25.74 – 2:27.00 (1.3s)
36
You believe in your dreams.
2:26.60 – 2:28.18 (1.6s)
37
You believe that you can do what you put your mind to.
2:28.10 – 2:31.60 (3.5s)
38
This is a really powerful belief because it means that you believe it's possible.
2:31.36 – 2:36.92 (5.6s)
39
Whatever you want to do, you believe it's possible.
2:36.78 – 2:39.76 (3.0s)
40
And the opposite of this belief is, I don't believe in myself, right?
2:39.98 – 2:43.74 (3.8s)
41
You have self-doubt.
2:43.32 – 2:44.76 (1.4s)
42
You have fear.
2:44.32 – 2:45.64 (1.3s)
43
You are uncertain and you are hesitant.
2:45.92 – 2:48.28 (2.4s)
44
You are insecure.
2:47.84 – 2:49.42 (1.6s)
45
So all of those emotions that I just mentioned, they hold you back from really going for it, from taking risks, from doing things that are scary, from doing things that could lead you to a beautiful and fulfilling life.
2:49.42 – 3:04.16 (14.7s)
46
So if you could only learn to truly believe in yourself, believe in your capabilities, believe in the power of your dreams, that's how you can go far.
3:04.10 – 3:13.68 (9.6s)
47
Next belief that will change your life is, I trust myself.
3:13.72 – 3:17.90 (4.2s)
48
Developing, cultivating that self-trust.
3:18.36 – 3:21.34 (3.0s)
49
All this means is you trust yourself, your judgment, your inner knowing, and you don't need external validation.
3:21.70 – 3:30.90 (9.2s)
50
If you're the type of person that constantly wants to ask other people what they think you should do or ask other people for their opinions and really seek outside of yourself for your validation or approval, this one's for you because you have to learn to develop that self-trust.
3:31.12 – 3:49.87 (18.7s)
51
You have this inner voice inside that is always guiding you.
3:49.79 – 3:53.43 (3.6s)
52
It's always leading you in the right direction.
3:53.07 – 3:55.61 (2.5s)
53
Truly, if you take the time to be silent deep down, if you really dig deep and listen, you know what's best for yourself.
3:56.03 – 4:03.63 (7.6s)
54
You know what the next step is.
4:03.41 – 4:05.41 (2.0s)
55
But the problem is we doubt that inner voice, and we really seek outside sources for validation, whether you're asking your friends, your partner, even ChatGPT, is this the right decision?
4:06.01 – 4:18.23 (12.2s)
56
What should I do?
4:17.91 – 4:19.11 (1.2s)
57
Should I do this or should I do this?
4:18.91 – 4:20.73 (1.8s)
58
You are wasting time not trusting your voice, not trusting your intuition, because even though it's scary, it is the right thing to do.
4:20.59 – 4:29.37 (8.8s)
59
So instead of constantly feeling like you need external validation, learn to trust yourself.
4:29.13 – 4:35.29 (6.2s)
60
The next mindset that will change your life is this one.
4:35.85 – 4:38.15 (2.3s)
61
I can overcome any challenge.
4:38.57 – 4:41.37 (2.8s)
62
So this one's all about resilience, having confidence in your ability to overcome hard experiences.
4:41.65 – 4:48.69 (7.0s)
63
Another version of this affirmation that I like is, I can do hard things because I realized for the longest time, I avoid things that are hard and challenging because they're scary.
4:49.03 – 4:59.23 (10.2s)
64
Obviously it's human nature to be scared of what's new and what's different or what's difficult.
4:58.85 – 5:04.19 (5.3s)
65
But the truth is, the amazing things that you want in life are on the other side of this fear.
5:04.95 – 5:10.29 (5.3s)
66
So you have to teach yourself and change this mindset, change this belief that I can overcome any challenge.
5:10.37 – 5:17.77 (7.4s)
67
No challenge is too scary or too big that it will stop me from doing what I want to do.
5:17.43 – 5:23.29 (5.9s)
68
So no matter how hard it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to overcome it.
5:23.13 – 5:28.69 (5.6s)
69
I'm going to make it.
5:28.49 – 5:30.31 (1.8s)
70
The next belief is this.
5:30.17 – 5:31.89 (1.7s)
71
I believe I can change, learn, and grow.
5:32.35 – 5:36.03 (3.7s)
72
Put simply, this is having a growth mindset.
5:36.69 – 5:39.95 (3.3s)
73
Hopefully you've heard about the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset.
5:40.19 – 5:44.53 (4.3s)
74
There's a wildly popular book called Mindset by Carol Dweck.
5:44.17 – 5:48.15 (4.0s)
75
If you haven't heard of it, just do a quick search and learn about that.
5:47.99 – 5:52.25 (4.3s)
76
But having a growth mindset is so key to evolving and growing in life and leveling up.
5:51.87 – 5:58.37 (6.5s)
77
So you have to believe that you are capable of change.
5:58.25 – 6:01.69 (3.4s)
78
you have to believe you are able to learn and grow and evolve over time.
6:02.01 – 6:07.09 (5.1s)
79
Because if you don't even believe in that, then you're going to stay the same person.
6:07.29 – 6:12.21 (4.9s)
80
A lot of people believe that they are fixed.
6:11.95 – 6:14.43 (2.5s)
81
They believe I'm born this way.
6:14.29 – 6:16.33 (2.0s)
82
I'm always going to be this way.
6:16.03 – 6:17.79 (1.8s)
83
My habits are this way because that's just who I am.
6:17.63 – 6:20.71 (3.1s)
84
This is just the person I am.
6:20.25 – 6:22.01 (1.8s)
85
It's just how I am.
6:21.53 – 6:23.07 (1.5s)
86
And so that's kind of their excuse to stay the same.
6:23.13 – 6:26.37 (3.2s)
87
So obviously if you have that belief that you are fixed and you're unchanging as a person, and you're going to stay the same for the rest of your life.
6:26.37 – 6:34.29 (7.9s)
88
So you want to adopt the belief that you can change, you can grow, you can learn, you can evolve with time in life.
6:34.33 – 6:42.19 (7.9s)
89
There is nothing that is too difficult to learn.
6:41.81 – 6:44.75 (2.9s)
90
There is no change that's too hard to make.
6:44.69 – 6:47.75 (3.1s)
91
Everything is possible.
6:48.15 – 6:49.79 (1.6s)
92
So if you can believe that, then you have the growth mindset, and that opens the door to unlimited growth and so much potential.
6:49.49 – 6:57.85 (8.4s)
93
Let me refill.
6:58.65 – 6:59.65 (1.0s)
94
It's just hot water.
7:00.23 – 7:01.31 (1.1s)
95
This next one is so game-changing.
7:02.51 – 7:04.43 (1.9s)
96
It's something that I'm more recently learning and embodying.
7:04.31 – 7:08.13 (3.8s)
97
It is this belief.
7:07.77 – 7:09.33 (1.6s)
98
I feel safe in my body.
7:09.93 – 7:12.77 (2.8s)
99
This one is all about nervous system regulation.
7:13.61 – 7:17.27 (3.7s)
100
So do a quick search, learn about what it means when your nervous system is dysregulated and what it means when it is regulated, because this is so key.
7:16.65 – 7:25.66 (9.0s)
101
A lot of people can't manifest the life that they want because they're manifesting from a dysregulated nervous system, meaning they have anxiety and stress and fear.
7:25.32 – 7:34.82 (9.5s)
102
They don't feel safe no matter what they do.
7:34.36 – 7:36.98 (2.6s)
103
And when you don't feel safe, you're not going to easily attract all the beautiful things that you want in your life.
7:36.36 – 7:42.80 (6.4s)
104
So the key here is to shift your belief.
7:42.60 – 7:45.84 (3.2s)
105
This is not just a belief in the mind, but literally a belief in your body, down to your core, belief that I am safe in my body.
7:45.24 – 7:54.04 (8.8s)
106
I feel safe no matter what happens.
7:53.80 – 7:56.30 (2.5s)
107
You have to be able to get to a point where you can feel calm, peaceful, and safe, even through failures, difficult moments, obstacles.
7:56.04 – 8:06.00 (10.0s)
108
Even when things are uncertain, when the future is unknown, when things are scary, you still have to be able to hone that centeredness, where you feel safe and grounded and at peace, no matter what chaotic things are happening on the outside.
8:05.64 – 8:22.92 (17.3s)
109
Because that truly is the game changer that will not only allow you to live a more peaceful and stable life, but also help you attract all the things that you want, all of your desires, because you're coming from a place not of lack, but a place of peace.
8:22.52 – 8:42.64 (20.1s)
110
A place where you feel like, I am here.
8:42.78 – 8:45.60 (2.8s)
111
I am okay.
8:45.24 – 8:46.50 (1.3s)
112
I am enough no matter what.
8:46.28 – 8:49.02 (2.7s)
113
I'm grateful for everything that I have.
8:48.76 – 8:51.30 (2.5s)
114
Having that energy of, I am enough, and I don't need more, but I welcome more, that is the energy where you're going to receive beautiful things because you're just not holding on tightly.
8:50.92 – 9:03.98 (13.1s)
115
You're not anxious about everything.
9:03.32 – 9:05.48 (2.2s)
116
I hope that makes sense, but I could make a whole other video about that and dive deep into that one another time.
9:04.92 – 9:10.54 (5.6s)
117
The next belief that truly changed my life is this one.
9:10.86 – 9:13.84 (3.0s)
118
I am worthy as I am.
9:14.52 – 9:16.82 (2.3s)
119
This is all about self-worth.
9:16.76 – 9:19.06 (2.3s)
120
I know it sounds so simple, and you've heard this probably so many times if you're in this space, but to truly feel deep down and to truly believe deep down that I am worthy is so powerful.
9:18.68 – 9:32.52 (13.8s)
121
Because if you feel that you are worthy and you are enough, then you don't really need much else.
9:31.96 – 9:39.62 (7.7s)
122
You don't need to prove anything to others.
9:39.92 – 9:42.52 (2.6s)
123
You don't need to perform anything to others.
9:42.12 – 9:45.44 (3.3s)
124
You don't really care about how you are perceived.
9:44.84 – 9:48.88 (4.0s)
125
It doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail, because your worth is not tied to your successes or your failures.
9:48.68 – 9:56.36 (7.7s)
126
So many things in life that we think are important, so many things that people get attached to or hang on to, really fall away.
9:55.96 – 10:04.40 (8.4s)
127
Once you can truly, truly believe and feel that I am worthy, regardless.
10:03.96 – 10:09.88 (5.9s)
128
I am worthy no matter what.
10:09.92 – 10:11.76 (1.8s)
129
Even if I lose every material thing that I own.
10:11.42 – 10:14.36 (2.9s)
130
There's so many things that I could lose and I'm still worthy.
10:14.84 – 10:18.26 (3.4s)
131
I don't need my title.
10:18.64 – 10:20.18 (1.5s)
132
I don't need this.
10:19.76 – 10:21.12 (1.4s)
133
There's so many things that I don't need to prove that I am worthy.
10:20.76 – 10:26.10 (5.3s)
134
A lot of people really attach their worth to so many things outside of themselves, whether it's their schooling, their career, their money, the people around them, or anything, right?
10:25.94 – 10:40.30 (14.4s)
135
We try to find our worth externally, when truly we need to see and truly feel our worth internally.
10:40.40 – 10:49.64 (9.2s)
136
Once you can truly believe that you are worthy, then you can live from that place of fullness and you're able to live such an authentic life because you are just being your authentic self no matter what.
10:49.54 – 11:03.16 (13.6s)
137
And it's a really freeing feeling.
11:02.74 – 11:06.58 (3.8s)
138
It's definitely a journey getting there because it requires a lot of unlearning, a lot of undoing and unraveling what society has taught us about our own worth.
11:06.16 – 11:15.52 (9.4s)
139
But if you're able to make any progress in this journey, honestly, it's a game changer.
11:15.38 – 11:20.02 (4.6s)
140
The last belief that I will share today is the one that I've already shared in a short, but deserves to be in a full video.
11:20.00 – 11:26.80 (6.8s)
141
It is, I believe I deserve the best.
11:26.84 – 11:30.82 (4.0s)
142
I deserve success and abundance." However you want to frame it, but it's truly learning to believe that you deserve the very best in life, that you're not going to skimp on yourself because you are so worthy and so deserving of all the success, all the abundance, all the beauty, all the high quality, great things in the world.
11:31.34 – 11:51.04 (19.7s)
143
And the difference between deserve and afford, right?
11:51.24 – 11:54.42 (3.2s)
144
Because obviously some of us are limited with resources for now, But it's knowing and feeling that you deserve all the best that the world has to offer.
11:54.04 – 12:04.84 (10.8s)
145
And just because you don't have it right now, it's fine.
12:05.14 – 12:08.44 (3.3s)
146
It's just a temporary situation.
12:08.18 – 12:10.36 (2.2s)
147
But this is about setting your standards high.
12:10.50 – 12:13.70 (3.2s)
148
You're not too low for anything, right?
12:13.78 – 12:16.98 (3.2s)
149
Everything is good enough for you, in a way.
12:16.96 – 12:19.78 (2.8s)
150
What this belief reveals is how much you believe in your own self-worth.
12:19.78 – 12:24.38 (4.6s)
151
Because the more worthy you believe you are, the more deserving you feel.
12:24.64 – 12:28.92 (4.3s)
152
You're like, yeah, any beautiful, great thing, high quality thing, luxurious thing in the world, I deserve it.
12:28.82 – 12:34.70 (5.9s)
153
Why not?
12:34.56 – 12:35.48 (0.9s)
154
Why wouldn't I deserve it?
12:35.48 – 12:36.78 (1.3s)
155
Because if you don't believe you deserve something, it means that you believe you're under that thing.
12:37.00 – 12:42.46 (5.5s)
156
You're not worthy of that thing.
12:42.36 – 12:44.02 (1.7s)
157
And then I have to ask why?
12:43.76 – 12:45.44 (1.7s)
158
Why would you limit yourself like that?
12:45.48 – 12:47.50 (2.0s)
159
Why would you bring your worth down a notch?
12:47.14 – 12:50.46 (3.3s)
160
Why would you see yourself lesser than?
12:50.52 – 12:53.48 (3.0s)
161
So truly know that your worth is infinite and it really can expand to whatever you want it to expand to.
12:54.20 – 13:03.08 (8.9s)
162
Remember that your worth is infinite.

この動画の練習のコツ
この動画を使って、より効果的に英語スピーキング練習をするためのヒントをご紹介します。特にシャドーイングは、発音練習や英語の流暢さ向上に非常に効果的です。
シャドーイングの実践
- 話速とリズム: スピーカーは比較的クリアで穏やかな速度で話しています。この自然なリズムに合わせて声に出して追随することで、英語の自然なイントネーションやポーズを身につけることができます。
- アクセントと抑揚: アメリカ英語のアクセントに注意し、単語の強弱（ストレス）や文全体の抑揚を意識して真似てみましょう。これにより、より自然な発話に近づきます。
- 内容の難易度: 自己啓発や心理学といった抽象的なトピックは、IELTS対策のスピーキングパート3で意見を述べる練習にも役立ちます。内容を理解しながらシャドーイングすることで、複雑な概念を英語で説明する能力を養えます。
- 感情を込める: スピーカーが言葉に込める感情（情熱、信念など）を観察し、それを自分の声で表現するよう試みてください。これにより、英語での表現力や説得力が高まります。
- 繰り返しと応用: 一度シャドーイングして終わりではなく、何度も繰り返し練習しましょう。さらに、動画で学んだフレーズや概念を使って、自分の考えや経験について話す練習をすることで、より実践的な英語の流暢さを身につけることができます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
ShadowingEnglishでの効果的な学習方法
- 動画を選ぶ: 自然で明瞭な英語が使われているYouTube動画を選びましょう。TED Talks、BBC News、映画のシーン、ポッドキャスト、IELTS模範解答などが最適です。URLをコピーして検索バーに貼り付けてください。短い動画（5分以内）や、自分が本当に興味を持てるテーマから始めるのがコツです。
- まず聞いて内容を理解する: 最初は1倍速でただ聞くだけにしましょう。まだ繰り返す必要はありません。文の意味を理解し、話者がどのように単語を強調し、音を繋げ、間を取っているかに注目してください。内容を把握してからシャドーイングに入ると、はるかに効果的です。
- シャドーイングモードを設定する:
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
+3sまたは+5sを選ぶと、動画が一文を読み終えた後に自動で一時停止し、繰り返す時間が生まれます。完全に手動でコントロールしたい場合はManualを選んでNextを自分で押しましょう。 - Sub Sync（字幕同期）: YouTubeの字幕と音声がずれることがあります。
±100msで調整して、正確なタイミングで追えるようにしてください。
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
- 声に出してシャドーイングする（最重要）: ここが練習の本質です。文が流れると同時に——または一時停止中に——はっきりと自信を持って声に出して繰り返しましょう。ただ単語を読むだけでなく、話者のリズム、強調、高低、連音をそっくりそのまま真似することが大切です。「影」のように話者に重なるのが理想。Repeat機能を使って同じ文を何度も繰り返し、自然に出てくるまで定着させましょう。
- 徐々に難易度を上げて続ける: 一つのパッセージに慣れたら、さらに挑戦してみましょう。速度を <code>1.25x</code> や <code>1.5x</code> に上げれば、高速の言語反射を鍛えられます。Wait Modeを <code>Off</code> にして連続シャドーイングするのが最も上級で効果的なモードです。毎日15〜30分継続すれば、数週間で目に見える変化を実感できます。
