00:58
Speaker A
Actually, yes. Small thing, but yes. I started drinking water first thing in the morning, before coffee, before anything.
01:06
Speaker A
Oh, that's a good one. Why did you start that? I read that it wakes up your body. And you know what, Cory? It really works. I feel more awake, more clear.

02:44
Speaker A
Okay, are you ready? Let's go. Okay, Oris, let's start with the basics. When we say change your life, what do we really mean?
02:54
Speaker A
Good question. I think it means making your life better, different from before, in a good way.
03:01
Speaker A
Yes, exactly. Let's start with the word change. C H A N G E. Change.
03:09
Speaker A
Say it with us, listeners. Change. When something changes, it becomes different, not the same as before.
03:18
Speaker A
For example, I want to change my morning routine. Or this year, I changed the way I think about money.
03:26
Speaker A
Simple word, but powerful meaning, because change is the reason we are all here today, right?
03:32
Speaker A
Right. And I think the first question everyone should ask is this: Are you happy with your life right now?
03:39
Speaker A
Hmm, that's a big question, Oris. I know, I know, but it's the most important one. Because if you want to change your life, first you need to ask yourself, am I happy? Am I where I want to be?
03:53
Speaker A
And I think a lot of our listeners right now are thinking, I want something different. But how do I start?
04:00
Speaker A
That's exactly what we're going to answer today, step-by-step, simple and clear. Okay, so let's talk about why people want to change in the first place. Oris, why do you think people want to change their lives?
04:14
Speaker A
I think people want to change because they feel stuck. Stuck, s t u c k. Stuck. What does that mean exactly?
04:25
Speaker A
Stuck means you cannot move forward. Imagine you're walking in mud and your feet just won't move. That feeling, that is stuck.
04:34
Speaker A
Ah, I understand. So when someone feels stuck in life, they feel like nothing is moving. Every day feels the same.
04:43
Speaker A
Exactly. Maybe they don't like their job, maybe they feel tired all the time, maybe they just don't feel good about their life.
04:51
Speaker A
I think a lot of our listeners feel this way sometimes. I know I did a few years ago.
04:56
Speaker A
Really? Tell us more. Yes, I woke up, went to work, came home, watched TV, slept. Then the next day, same thing again.
05:06
Speaker A
That sounds so familiar. A lot of people have exactly that routine. Routine, r o u t i n e. A routine is something you do again and again in the same way every day.
05:22
Speaker A
My morning routine is simple. I wake up, drink water, and check my messages. That's a routine.
05:28
Speaker A
Right, and one day I just kept thinking, is this it? Is this really my life? And I think that feeling, that is the beginning of change.
05:39
Speaker A
Oh, that is so true. When you're not happy, you start asking questions. What do I really want? What makes me happy?
05:47
Speaker A
What can I do differently? And asking those questions, that is very important. That is step one.
05:55
Speaker A
So, let's talk about the first real step to changing your life. And that step is know yourself.
06:02
Speaker A
Know yourself. Okay, Oris, what does that mean exactly? It means understanding what you want, understanding what makes you happy, understanding what makes you sad, understanding your strengths and your weaknesses.
06:17
Speaker A
Strengths and weaknesses. S T R E N G T H S. Strengths are things you are good at. Weaknesses are things that are harder for you.
06:29
Speaker A
My strength is speaking. My weakness is writing. See? Easy to use. I love that. So, it's like looking in a mirror, but not for your face, for your heart, your mind.
06:41
Speaker A
Exactly. A mirror for who you really are. So, how do people actually start doing this? What can they do today?
06:50
Speaker A
One simple thing. Ask yourself three questions. Are you ready, listeners? Question one, what do I love doing?
06:59
Speaker A
Question two, what do I want more of in my life? And question three, what do I want less of in my life?
07:08
Speaker A
Ooh, that last one is interesting. Not just more, but less, too.
07:20
Speaker A
Yes, because changing your life isn't only about adding good things. Sometimes it's about removing bad things.
07:28
Speaker A
That is so true. Maybe you spend too much time on things that don't make you happy, and you need to reduce that.
07:35
Speaker A
Reduce. R E D U C E. To reduce means to make something smaller or less.
07:41
Speaker A
I want to reduce my stress, or I want to reduce the time I spend on my phone.
07:49
Speaker A
Great example. Okay, let's repeat the three questions for our listeners. Question one, what do I love doing?
07:58
Speaker A
Question two, what do I want more of in my life? And question three, what do I want less of in my life?
08:07
Speaker A
Please pause the video right now and think about your own answers. Write them down if you can. That is your first real step.
08:18
Speaker A
Good job already just for thinking about this. That's not easy, but you're doing it. Okay, Oris, so now we know ourselves a little better. Now what? What comes next?
08:25
Speaker A
Now we take action. But here's the most important part. You don't need to change everything at once.
08:38
Speaker A
Oh, I think a lot of people try to do exactly that.
08:49
Speaker A
Yes, they say, "Starting Monday, I will change everything." [laughter] Starting Monday, I know that feeling so well.
09:01
Speaker A
Starting Monday, I will wake up early, exercise every day, eat healthy, learn a new language, and read 10 books. Then Monday comes and nothing happens.
09:13
Speaker A
Oh, no, that is too real. That happens to me, too, honestly. It happens to everyone. When we try to change everything at once, it's too hard. Our brain gets tired and we give up.
09:25
Speaker A
So, what's the right way then? Small steps, very small steps. Small steps. S M A L L S T E P S. Can you give us an example?
09:31
Speaker A
Sure. Let's say you want to get healthier. Instead of saying, "I will exercise for 1 hour every day," you say, "I will walk for 10 minutes every morning." Just 10 minutes?
09:41
Speaker A
Just 10 minutes, that's all. Do that every day for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month.
09:48
Speaker A
And then it becomes a habit. Exactly. After 1 month, walking 10 minutes feels easy. Then you add more, maybe 15 minutes, maybe 20.
09:57
Speaker A
Step by step. Step by step. There's a nice phrase for this. Small steps, big changes.
10:05
Speaker A
Small steps, big changes. Let's say that slowly together, listeners. Small steps. Small steps. Big changes.
10:13
Speaker A
Big changes. Small steps, big changes. Small steps, big changes. I really love
10:19
Speaker A
Exactly. You wake up, you brush your teeth. You don't think, "Should I brush my teeth today?" You just do it. That's a habit.
10:27
Speaker A
And we have good habits and bad habits. Right. Good habits help us. Bad habits hurt us. So, how do we build good habits?
10:36
Speaker A
There's a simple idea called habit stacking. Habit stacking. H A B I T S T A C K I N G. That sounds interesting. What does it mean?
10:48
Speaker A
It means you put a new habit right after a habit you already have. Can you give an example?
10:54
Speaker A
Sure. Let's say you already drink coffee every morning. That's your habit. Now you want to read more. So, you say, "After I drink my coffee, I will read for 5 minutes." Oh, so the coffee is like a signal. The
11:08
Speaker A
coffee tells your brain, "Now it's time to read." Exactly. You stack the new habit on top of the old one, like building blocks.
11:16
Speaker A
That is so clever. It's easier for your brain to remember. Yes, because your brain already knows the first habit. So, the new habit comes right after and it becomes automatic.
11:26
Speaker A
I want to try this. I already make tea every morning. Maybe I can say, "After I make my tea, I will practice 5 minutes of English.
11:34
Speaker A
That is perfect, Oris. See, you're already doing it. Habit stacking. Okay, learners, let's repeat. Habit stacking.
11:42
Speaker A
Habit stacking. It means putting a new habit right after an old one. So, your brain learns faster.
11:48
Speaker A
So, your brain learns faster. Good job, everyone. You just learned a real technique. Okay, Oris. Now, I want to talk about something maybe even more important, your mindset.
12:00
Speaker A
Mindset. M I N D S E T. What exactly is mindset? Your mindset is how you think. It's the way your mind sees the world. Your beliefs, your thoughts, the stories you tell yourself.
12:14
Speaker A
The stories I tell myself. Hmm, tell me more. Well, every day we have thoughts in our head. Sometimes we say, "I can't do this. I'm not smart enough. Nothing good happens to me." Oh, I know those thoughts. We all have
12:28
Speaker A
them sometimes. Exactly. But, here's the problem. If you keep thinking those things, you start to believe them. And if you believe them, you don't even try.
12:37
Speaker A
And if you don't try, nothing changes. Right. So, the way we think really controls what we do. Your thoughts become your actions.
12:46
Speaker A
Your actions become your habits. And your habits become your life. Wow. Let's say that slowly, listeners.
12:53
Speaker A
Your thoughts become your actions. Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become your habits.
13:01
Speaker A
Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your life. Your habits become your life. That is so powerful.
13:09
Speaker A
So, if we change our thoughts, we can actually change our life. Yes. And the good news is, you can change your thoughts. It takes practice, but you can do it.
13:19
Speaker A
How, exactly? One simple way. Instead of saying, "I can't do this," you say, "I can learn this." I can't do this becomes I can learn this. I really like that.
13:31
Speaker A
Instead of I'm not smart enough, you say, I am getting better every day. I am getting better every day. That's a beautiful phrase.
13:40
Speaker A
Instead of I always fail, you say, every mistake teaches me something. Oh, that one is my favorite. Every mistake teaches me something. Let's say it slowly.
13:51
Speaker A
Every mistake. Every mistake. Teaches me something. Teaches me something. Every mistake teaches me something.
13:59
Speaker A
That's called a positive mindset, a growth mindset. Growth mindset. G R O W T H M I N D S E T. It's the idea that you can grow. You can improve. You are never finished.
14:14
Speaker A
You are always learning. Always learning. I love that so much. Corey, I want to ask you something. Can other people really affect our life?
14:24
Speaker A
Oh, absolutely. This is so important. The people around you have a huge influence on you.
14:30
Speaker A
Influence. I N F L U E N C E. When something has influence, it affects you or shapes you.
14:38
Speaker A
There's a saying in English, you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
14:45
Speaker A
The average of five people? Can you explain that a little more? Sure. Think about the five people you spend the most time with. Your friends, your family, your co-workers. Their habits, their thinking, their energy, it slowly affects you.
14:59
Speaker A
So, if I spend time with happy, positive people, I become more happy and positive.
15:04
Speaker A
Yes, and if you spend time with negative people, people who complain all the time, you slowly become more negative, too, without even noticing.
15:13
Speaker A
That's a little scary, actually. A little, yes. But, the good news is, you can choose who you spend time with.
15:19
Speaker A
You can look for people who inspire you. Inspire. I N S P I R E.
15:25
Speaker A
When someone inspires you, they make you want to do something good or be better.
15:30
Speaker A
My sister always inspires me to work harder. See how easy that is to use?
15:34
Speaker A
I love that example. So, it's not just people, right? Our environment matters, too. Yes, exactly. Environment, e n v i r n o m e n t. Your environment is everything around you. The places you go, the things you watch, the music you listen
15:52
Speaker A
to. So, if I want to change my life, I should think about my whole environment, not just my friends.
15:58
Speaker A
Exactly. Change your environment and you slowly change yourself. Wow, I never really thought about it that way before. It's not just about working hard, it's also about who you're with and what surrounds you.
16:11
Speaker A
Okay, Oris. Now, let's talk about something a little more difficult. Sometimes, when you're trying to change your life, you fail.
16:19
Speaker A
Yes, sometimes you make mistakes. Sometimes you fall back into old habits. So, what do you do then?
16:25
Speaker A
This might be the most important part, honestly. And I think a lot of people give up right here. They try for a few weeks, something goes wrong, and they say, "See, I knew I couldn't do it." Yes, that's very common. But, failing is
16:39
Speaker A
not the end. Failing is part of the process. Failing is part of the process. Let's say that again, listeners.
16:46
Speaker A
Failing is part of the process. Think about a baby learning to walk. Does a baby walk perfectly on the first try?
16:54
Speaker A
No, they fall down all the time. Fall down, get up. Fall down, get up.
17:00
Speaker A
And one day, they just walk because they never said, "I give up. I'll just crawl forever." [laughter] Imagine if babies gave up. We'd all be crawling right now.
17:11
Speaker A
That's a funny image, but it's true. The baby never gives up because the baby doesn't judge itself. The baby just tries again.
17:19
Speaker A
So, we need to be a little like babies? In that way, yes. Fall down, get up, try again. And don't be too hard on yourself.
17:29
Speaker A
Don't be too hard on yourself. That's such important advice. Many people give up not because it's too hard, but because they're too hard on themselves.
17:39
Speaker A
Right. They make one mistake and say, "I'm a failure. I can't do anything right." But one mistake doesn't mean failure.
17:46
Speaker A
No. One mistake means you're trying. And people who keep trying eventually succeed. People who give up never will.
17:55
Speaker A
I want to share something personal. When I was learning English, I made so many mistakes. So many.
18:03
Speaker A
Me, too. Tell me one. One time I was trying to say, "I'm full" after eating, but I said something completely different and everyone laughed.
18:13
Speaker A
[laughter] Oh, no. I felt so embarrassed. Embarrassed. E M B A R R A S S E D. When you feel embarrassed, you feel a little shy or awkward because of a mistake.
18:27
Speaker A
I felt embarrassed when I forgot his name. Great simple example. For a moment, I wanted to stop learning English forever, but I didn't give up. I laughed, I learned, and now I'm here talking with you and with thousands of
18:41
Speaker A
learners. That is such a beautiful story. You made a mistake, a funny one, but you kept going. And look at you now.
18:50
Speaker A
So, to everyone listening, please don't give up. Your mistakes are not your enemy. Your mistakes are your teacher.
18:58
Speaker A
Your mistakes are your teacher. I love that so much. Okay, let's talk about some simple daily practices now. Small things you can do every single day to help change your life.
19:12
Speaker A
Yes, practical things. Things people can start today, right after this episode. Number one, write down three things you're grateful for every morning.
19:23
Speaker A
Grateful, g r a t e f u l. Grateful means thankful. Things you're happy to have in your life.
19:31
Speaker A
Maybe your health, your family, even your morning coffee. This sounds simple, but does it really help?
19:39
Speaker A
Yes, actually. When you focus on good things, your brain starts looking for more good things. It changes how you see your whole day.
19:48
Speaker A
So, instead of waking up and thinking about problems, you wake up thinking about good things.
19:54
Speaker A
Exactly. Number two, move your body every day, even just a little. Walk, dance, stretch, just move.
20:03
Speaker A
When you move your body, you feel better. Your energy goes up, your mood goes up.
20:09
Speaker A
Mood, m o o d. Your mood is how you feel. Happy, sad, tired, excited.
20:16
Speaker A
My mood is really good today. Simple sentence right? Number three, learn something new every day, even just 5 minutes.
20:25
Speaker A
A new English word, a new idea, a new small skill. 5 minutes doesn't sound like much.
20:32
Speaker A
It isn't long, but 5 minutes every day is over 30 hours in 1 year.
20:38
Speaker A
Wow, I never thought about it like that. Small steps, big changes, remember? Number four, rest. Sleep well. Give your body and mind time to recover.
20:50
Speaker A
Recover, r e c o v e r. To recover means to become well or strong again after being tired or sick.
21:00
Speaker A
I need 1 day to recover after a busy week. A lot of people think being busy is always good, but rest is important, too.
21:08
Speaker A
Very important. You can't really change your life if you're always exhausted. Exhausted, e x h a u s t e d. Exhausted means extremely tired.
21:21
Speaker A
After the long trip, I was completely exhausted. Great word for real life. And number five, be kind to yourself.
21:30
Speaker A
Talk to yourself like you talk to a good friend. If your friend made a mistake, would you say, "You're so stupid"?
21:38
Speaker A
No, never. You'd say, "It's okay, you tried. You'll do better next time." So, talk to yourself the same kind way.
21:47
Speaker A
Be your own best friend. Be your own best friend. I love that phrase so much.
21:54
Speaker A
Before we move to the review, Oris, I want to add one more thing, something we haven't talked about yet, celebrating your wins.
22:03
Speaker A
Celebrating your wins. Ooh, I like this topic already. Win, w i n. A win is a success, and it doesn't have to be a big success. Even a tiny success is a win.
22:16
Speaker A
For example, finishing this English lesson today is a win, or walking for 10 minutes this morning was a small win.
22:23
Speaker A
Exactly. And here's the problem. A lot of people only celebrate the big wins, finishing a big project, getting a new job, losing a lot of weight.
22:34
Speaker A
But what about all the small wins along the way? Right. If you only celebrate the big things, you might wait months, even years before you feel proud of yourself.
22:45
Speaker A
And that's exhausting. That's discouraging. Discouraging, d i s c o u r a g i n g.
22:54
Speaker A
When something is discouraging, it makes you lose hope or motivation. Waiting too long for results can be discouraging. Good word for real life.
23:04
Speaker A
So, instead, celebrate the small wins, too. Did you walk today? Celebrate it. Did you learn one new English word?
23:12
Speaker A
Celebrate it. How do we celebrate a small win, exactly? It doesn't need to be a big party right?
23:19
Speaker A
[laughter] No. No big party needed. It can be simple. Say to yourself, "Good job." Smile. Write it down in a notebook.
23:28
Speaker A
I actually do this. Every night I write down one small thing I did well that day.
23:34
Speaker A
Oh, I love that. Can you give an example? Sure. Yesterday I wrote, "I said no to an extra task at work, and I used that time to rest." Small thing, but I felt proud.
23:46
Speaker A
That is wonderful. See, listeners, celebrating small wins keeps you motivated. It keeps you moving forward.
23:54
Speaker A
Motivated, m o t i v a t e d. When you're motivated, you have energy and desire to do something.
24:03
Speaker A
Listening to this podcast makes me feel motivated to keep learning English. Perfect sentence for today.
24:09
Speaker A
So, remember, don't wait for the big win to feel proud. Celebrate every small step.
24:15
Speaker A
Small steps, big changes, and small wins along the way. Okay, and one more idea before we review. Patience.
24:25
Speaker A
Patience, p a t i e n c e. Patience means you can wait calmly without getting angry or upset, even when something takes a long time.
24:37
Speaker A
This is so important because change doesn't happen overnight. No, it really doesn't. And I think many people quit early because they expect fast results.
24:48
Speaker A
They start something new, and after 3 days, they check, "Am I better yet? Did my life change yet?" 3 days? That's way too soon.
24:58
Speaker A
Of course it is. Real change takes weeks, sometimes months. Think about a tree. When you plant a small seed, does a big tree grow the next morning?
25:09
Speaker A
No, of course not. It takes time, water, sunlight patience. Exactly the same with your life. You plant small habits today and slowly, over time, they grow into something big.
25:24
Speaker A
I really like that image. Plant your seeds today and be patient. Be patient with yourself. B P A T I E N T. Please be patient with yourself while you're learning English. Great sentence to remember.
25:39
Speaker A
Okay, I think we're ready for the review now. Okay, Corey, we've talked about so many things today. Let's do a quick review for our learners.
25:47
Speaker A
Great idea. Step one, know yourself. Ask, what do I love? What do I want more of? What do I want less of?
25:57
Speaker A
Step two, take small steps. Don't try to change everything at once. Small steps, big changes.
26:03
Speaker A
Step three, build good habits using habit stacking. Put a new habit right after an old one.
26:10
Speaker A
Step four, change your mindset. Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your life.
26:19
Speaker A
Step five, choose your environment. Spend time with positive people and surround yourself with things that help you grow.
26:27
Speaker A
Step six, don't give up. Failing is part of the process. Every mistake teaches you something.

Speaker A
And step seven, daily practice. Write gratitude every morning. Move your body. Learn something new. Rest well. Be kind to yourself.
26:44
Speaker A
Wow, that's a lot. But remember, all of it starts with just one small step.
26:49
Speaker A
Just one. You don't need to do everything today. Just pick one thing, one small thing, and start.
26:57
Speaker A
Okay, before we practice our phrases, let's do a quick word tour. We used so many great words today.
27:04
Speaker A
Yes, this part is really important. Even if you understood most of the words already, hearing them again will help them stick in your memory.
27:11
Speaker A
Stick. S T I C K. When a word sticks, it stays in your memory, like it's glued there.
27:19
Speaker A
Huh, glued to your brain. Okay, word tour, let's go. First, stuck. When you feel stuck, you feel like you cannot move forward.
27:28
Speaker A
I felt stuck in my old job for 3 years. Or, sometimes I feel stuck, but I know it will pass.
27:35
Speaker A
Next, routine. Something you do again and again in the same way. My evening routine is simple. Dinner, a short walk, then reading. Or, I want to build a better morning routine.
27:47
Speaker A
Next, strengths and weaknesses. The things you're good at and the things that are harder for you.
27:53
Speaker A
Speaking is my strength. Writing is my weakness. Simple, honest sentence. Next, reduce. To make something smaller or less.
28:03
Speaker A
I want to reduce the time I spend scrolling on my phone. Great goal for a lot of us.
28:08
Speaker A
Next, habit stacking. Putting a new habit right after an old one, so your brain learns faster.
28:15
Speaker A
I'm using habit stacking. After I brush my teeth, I do 5 minutes of stretching.
28:20
Speaker A
Next, mindset. The way your mind sees the world, your thoughts and beliefs. I'm working on having a more positive mindset this year.
28:30
Speaker A
Next, growth mindset. The idea that you can always grow, improve, and learn. Having a growth mindset helped me stop being afraid of mistakes.
28:40
Speaker A
Next, influence. When something affects you or shapes you. My best friend has a a positive influence on me.
28:47
Speaker A
Next, inspire. When someone makes you want to do something good or be better. Watching my teacher work so hard really inspires me.
28:57
Speaker A
Next, environment. Everything around you. People, places, things you watch and listen to. I changed my environment by studying in a quiet library instead of at home.
29:09
Speaker A
Next, embarrassed. Feeling shy or awkward because of a mistake. I felt embarrassed when I mispronounced that word in front of everyone.
29:18
Speaker A
Next, grateful. Feeling thankful for something in your life. I'm grateful for this podcast community and for all of you listening.
29:26
Speaker A
Next, exhausted. Extremely tired. After the long work week, I was completely exhausted. Next, motivated. Having energy and desire to do something.
29:38
Speaker A
This conversation makes me feel so motivated to keep learning. Next, discouraging. Something that makes you lose hope or motivation.
29:47
Speaker A
Slow progress can feel discouraging, but it's still progress. And last, patience. Being able to wait calmly even when something takes time.
29:57
Speaker A
Learning a language takes real patience. Great list, everyone. Did you catch all of those? If not, no problem at all. Go back, listen again. Repetition is your friend.
30:08
Speaker A
Repetition. R E P E T I T I O N. Saying and hearing something again and again until it feels natural. That's really how a language enters your brain.
30:20
Speaker A
