Build English Speaking Confidence FAST With This Ritual

hi there I'm Drew Badger the world's

first and number one English Fluency

Guide and it is a pleasure to welcome

you to another quick video on youtube

today I actually wanted to talk about

something that's very important and this

is confidence and how to protect it I

was talking to some friends of mine not

that long ago about how kind of

unrelated to fluency but how all the

things in life are connected and if

maybe they're feeling really happy and

excited about one part of their life and

that kind of moves over into other

aspects of their life and they feel more

excited and confident about those things

as well but also the opposite happens

and maybe I was actually recently giving

an example to to newsletter subscribers

and I was describing the story of how I

had to give a speech one time and I had

just heard before the speech about some

trouble that a friend of mine was having

and that really kind of made me have am

not so great speech now some people are

actually really strong and powerful

emotionally and they can stop themselves

from maybe having one thing that's

negative affect another part of their

life but maybe for the rest of us even

if we really try hard sometimes it still

just happens that maybe you will feel

not so confident about one thing and

then that will affect other parts of

your life now when you're learning a new

language especially as an adult the

confidence that you have is so important

because without it even if you know lots

of words you will be too shy or nervous

about saying anything in conversations

so what I'd like to help you do today is

protect your confidence with a simple

ritual I was also describing to my

newsletter for newsletter followers and

two people on our Facebook page and this

is what you do when you wake up in the

morning and again whether you're doing

this for improving your fluency or just

for your life in general this is about

when you wake up you begin a new to a

new day each and every day and it's

actually your time when you wake up to

decide how you're going to feel that day

so maybe the previous day's something

good happen something bad happened to

you but today is a new day so right when

you wake up I know it's tempting to you

know you want to check facebook or check

your email

and watch the news or do anything else

you want to do but all of those things

influence you in some weight so you have

to actually protect yourself from those

things especially if you're going to do

something important that day that

requires you to speak confidently or

just to be confident about something as

an example if I am a pro athlete maybe I

don't I just kind of wake up and I'm

thinking you know maybe the first thing

I do in the morning I just maybe

meditate for a little bit even I just

take some quiet time by myself to think

number one like I'm good at what I do

and I've been working and practicing for

a long time and today I'm going to do

very well at whatever my thing is so I'm

kind of reminding myself that I've done

a good job so far and that maybe in the

future or even later today I'm also

going to do something well so I'm taking

time to only focus on myself and just

kind of enjoy that confidence that I

have and build up that confidence a

little bit more without any outside

influences coming in and maybe stopping

it or distracting my attention or

anything else typically on days when i'm

recording videos like this i won't maybe

check videos or you know maybe check

some email or do other things like that

until I have recorded these lessons

because I don't want any news or

anything to come into my head that might

you know make me be kind of focused on

something else or affect my mood in some

way so when you wake up in the morning

take some time number 12 maybe practice

a little bit of English just to maybe

say a few things in your head or to

learn something new but also to remind

yourself of how far you've already come

right now you're sitting and watching

this video or maybe you're listening to

me speak while you're on the bus or

train or something and you can actually

feel that you're improving there was a

time when you spoke no English at all

and now you can understand quite a bit

and you're improving your fluency at the

same time so take your morning that kind

of ritual that you do it's very simple

you wake up and you just protect your

confidence by blocking out anything else

that might come in it's a pretty easy

thing to stop you know you're kind of

shutting the door just like I'm in a

studio right now so I don't have

sounds from buses or trains or other

people outside of the room that are

coming in and in the same way you need

to do the really the same thing with

your confidence so when you're first

waking up again take time to think about

number one how far you've already come

and just be excited about that the

progress that you've made get happy get

excited about that and then also think

about maybe some new kind of language

that you're learning whatever that is it

could be some vocabulary and again it

doesn't matter if this is just for

learning English or if this is for

anything else but that time is your time

in the morning before you open yourself

up to the rest of the world take your

time prepare yourself become more

confident get stronger and this will

help you develop that mental kind of

mental strength so that when you go out

into the world and other things do

happen you you're much better at dealing

with them so I know especially for

myself when I was first learning

Japanese when I would go out like I

would I would it would ruin my date when

I would go out and meet some people and

maybe they laughed at me because I

couldn't speak well or whatever I just

made mistakes when I should not have

made mistakes or I looked silly because

I couldn't pronounce things properly

those things will affect you and they

kind of attack your confidence so you

have to do your thing to protect your

confidence in the morning well I don't

want to give you too much information

but in your mornings just try this it

only takes a few minutes and over time

you'll notice that you feel much more

excited about wanting to speak and just

be feeling more confident about other

things in your life in general I hope
