   情感把控是炼成每当你开始学习或操练英语时都是：Wow，爽、爽极了，开心极了，

但事实却不是如此，大多数在学习英语是强迫或是不情愿的在学习，很多的人觉得学习

英语是枯燥乏味的，或许你在一般情况下很累，你很用功，英语是很难的，但是，你精

力依旧很充足并且很开心。     

                    

                   

  

   所以，我们很有必要学习一些科学的方法，一些技巧来掌控好我们的情绪，让我们在

学习英语是情绪达到最高昂。还记得吗，有很多很多的世界级专家教练学者做个相应

的统计，情绪和心理因素是占成功的80%，也就是说，掌握情绪和心理因素是比具体

的学习相应知识的方法技巧要重要的得多，剩下的20%才是具体的学习知识的方法和

技巧。

    

  那我们到底应该怎么更好的把控我们的情绪和提升我们的心理素养呢？有两个关键：

1、一是你的肢体，你的肢体语言，怎样利用和运用你的身体语言。另外一个是你的

集中力，你大脑的集中注意力。许许多多的世界顶级教练、专家，像Tony Robbins 、

Joe Vitale and some others研究过，是什么影响着一个人学习英语的快慢，怎样利用

上面两个技巧并运用到操练和提升英语上，使你能更快速掌握英语，能讲一口流利的英

语。

    

   现在设想一个场景，你很累很累了，你已经工作了一整天，你非常的疲惫，然后你

想“我真心不想学习英语了！“，在这种情况下，你将怎么改善你自己，让你自己还想

学习英语？也许你会试着对自己说：”哦，我应该学习，我还应该学习，我应该做的更

好。“但是事实上，这效果是不佳的，不是吗？在这之后，常常你还会觉得很累，很

困。所以呢，你要做的就是开始运用你的身体，移动你的肢体，当你犯困时，你整个身

体是什么样子呢？

                 

                      

     

   通常你的肩膀是向前斜的。你的抬头挺胸还是垂着头呢？常常你的头是有一些下垂

的，你下巴也有一些下垂。那你的脸部呢？你是有开心一笑之喜悦还是绷着脸？通常情

况下当我们比较的累时，我们是不容易笑起来的。眼睛呢？一般也是下垂，向下看的

多。所以，可以大体的总结出当我们很疲惫是我们整个身体都有向前斜，并下垂的趋

势。

    

   好的，现在，就现在示范一下，让肩膀斜向前，下巴下垂，眼睛先下看，头也下垂，

让你的整个身体都觉得很疲劳的样子，感觉怎么样？

                

               

  现在，我们一起来改变它： 让你的两个肩膀后倾，让下巴抬起，胸挺直，抬头，眼睛

注视着前方。此刻，即使你不是很开心，我也希望你开花大笑，在你的脸上表现出一个

大大的笑脸来，假装出一个大大的笑脸，即使看起来的很愚蠢，建后倾、开怀微笑，抬

头挺胸，眼睛炯炯有神，现在感觉又是什么样？此刻有感觉到和上面的不同吗？

    

                   

  每当我这么做时，我感觉非常非常的棒，整个身体都更有劲了，所以这是一个很简单

很简单的方法来改变和提升我们的精神面貌，只需要一些简单的肢体动作罢了。所以，

我希望在你上课之前、或学习英语之前，首先移动移动你的肢体，让你的两个肩膀后

倾，让下巴抬起，胸挺直，抬头，眼睛注视着前方并让自己开心起来，微笑起来。

   

   或许在你之前的课堂中，在学习英语的记忆中，在你年轻是，也许没有这样过，但

是，我希望你现在就微笑即使看起来很愚蠢，那都没有任何的关系，你开始微笑，你会

发现你的身体、你的肢体、你整个人的面貌将发生巨大的变化，你讲会更有精力，精神

状态将更加的棒，更重要的你学习的效率将大大的提升，这已经有许许多多的科学家和

实验证明了。人们在开心快乐，精神状态在最佳时，学习能力将大大的提升；相反，在

枯燥、乏味的状态下学习和掌握东西的速度将大大的降低。

 

 

  2、另一个技巧是什么呢？就是非常非常简单的方式：深呼吸（Deep breathe）。

你到底怎么的呼吸将直接的影响你的精神状态和你身体的感觉、肢体的反映方式。现在

就做，当你深呼吸，慢呼吸，非常慢的呼吸，深深的呼两口气，你能马上就感觉到你整

个身心都方式、愉快的多了，更有能量了。你看，就仅仅的一个深呼吸的动作，非常非

常的简单，但是非常的有效。你会发现这在心理学课堂、运动课、部队中，这都是很普

遍的，简简单单的几次深呼吸就可以改变我们整个身心的状态。

  

  所以，希望你在开心任何学习之前，上课、阅读、或学英语，静静的做几次深呼吸，

也许只是一分钟或两分钟罢了。

   

   动起来，结合着肢体语言，身体动作来一起学习，如果你喜欢运动，非常的好，

遍听英语边运动，这样能更好的打开、唤醒你的大脑，你完完全全可以在同一时间内

做好几件事情。

      

  

 综上所述，

一、在每天或每次学习英语之前，让你的两个肩膀后倾，让下巴抬起，胸挺直，抬头，

眼睛注视着前方；

二、开怀一笑；

三、静静的做几次深呼吸，也许只是一分钟或两分钟罢了；

四、动起来；就这些很简单很简单的两个方式，会让你的精神面貌完完全全的发生改

变，你将会感觉开心、快乐，学的轻松、愉快，只是因为这两个简单的小动作罢了，将

会唤醒你的大脑，快速的进入真正学习的角色。

          Power、Effortless English

  Okay, welcome to the main audio for  “Emotional Mastery.”

  So let’s talk about emotional masteryin more detail now.

  How can you manage your emotions, how can you control, I don’t like the 

wordcontrol, but let’s just say manage your emotions so that you feel 

better andstronger while you’re learning English.

  

  So it’seasy to say that “Oh, feel good when you’re learning English,” 

but unfortunately a lot of people feel bad when they’re learning English.A 

lot ofpeople feel bored.

    

  Or maybe justin your life in general, you’re tired, you’re working 

hard, and it’s difficultto learn English also and still feel 

energetic and happy.

   

  So we have tolearn some techniques, some methods to manage our 

emotions, to make sure ouremotions are feeling strong while we’re 

learning.Andremember, again,that emotion andpsychology are 80% of 

success.And a lot of people talk about this in theacademic world. 

  Dr.Stephen Krashen, again he’s the top expert on languageacquisition, 

language learning and language education, and he talks about thisidea of 

non. linguistic factors.Whichbasically means psychological and emotional 

factors, that they’re moreimportant than the method you’re 

using.Tony Robbins, the famous peakperformance coach, talks about this as 

well. He says directly success comes from emotion, 80% of success 

isemotion.The other 20% is the method, it’s how you do it.So we’ve 

got tomaster our emotions to master English.

  

 How are you going to do to that?Let’s talk about that now. There are two 

keys to emotional mastery.

    

            

  

   One is your physiology,again it’s your body, how you use andmanage 

your body.And second is your focus,yourmental focus.Now a lot of this 

comes from again Tony Robbins and Joe Vitaleand some other peak performance 

coaches so I’m using their information and I’mapplying it, I’m focusing 

it on this process of learning English and how canyou take those ideas and 

use them to increase your English learning power, soyou learn faster, so 

that you speak better.

 

  So again we have two ways to manageour emotions.One is physiology, through 

the body.And the other is throughfocus, mental focus. What you think about 

again and again and again.In thislesson we’re going to talk about 

physiology, managing physiology.

 So this is an easy way to change youremotional state. So let’s imagine 

that you are tired.You’ve gone to work,you’ve worked a very long day. 

You’re tired. And you’re thinking “I don’t wantto study English.”

 

  How can you change that feeling?

 

 Well you can try to talk to yourself“Oh, I should study, I should study, I 

should feel better,” but usually thatdoesn’t work, right? Usually you 

still feel tired.What you have to do is startwith your body. Change your 

body.Whatdoes your body look like when you’re tired?

 

   Usually your shoulders are going tobe forward.Is your head going to be up 

or is your head going to be down?Well,usually when you’re tired you’re 

head is going to be a little bit down, yourchin will be kind of down.What 

about your face? Will you have a big smile onyour face or will your face be 

kind of loose?Well, it’s usually going to bemore use, right? You’re not 

usually smiling big when you feel tired.And youreyes, where are your eyes 

looking usually when you’re tired? Again, down.

  

   So the whole body tends to be forwardand down when you feel tired.

   So an easy, very simple way to changehow you feel, how you physically 

feel, your emotion and in your body is to justmake small changes in the way 

you’re using your body.Try it now. Lean forward.Put your shoulders forward. 

Put your chin down. Look down.Put your body into atired position, notice how 

you feel.

   

   Now let’s change it. Pull your shoulders back and your chest up.

 

   Bring your chin up. Bring your eyes up. Look up.And now, even if you 

don’t feel happy, I want you to smile really big. Puta big smile on your 

face, fake it. Look stupid.Okay, so a big smile, shouldersback, chest up, 

eyes up and a big stupid smile, a big grin, on your face.

 

   Do you feel differently now?

  

  You probably do. Just by changing theposition of your body, I’m doing it 

right now myself, I can feel that I feelmore energetic. I feel happier just 

by shifting my body.When I go back and Iput my shoulders forward and my chin 

down and my eyes down, I can feel someenergy going down, right? The energy 

in my body gets less.When I pull myshoulders back, my chest up, my chin up, 

my eyes up, I’m smiling big, justfaking it, acting like a crazy person, I 

feel much better.And you do, too. Sothat is such an easy way to change how 

you feel, to change your emotional statejust by shifting your body.It’s a 

simple way to get control of your emotionsand to master your emotions. So 

here’s what I want you to do.

  

 Every time you listen to theselessons or any English lessons or any kind of 

English studying, I want you to first change your body.Beforeyou listen 

to those lessons and while you’re listening,I want you to think about, 

consciously think about pulling yourshoulders back, pushing your chest 

up, chin up, eyes up, and make yourselfsmile.

   

 You probably didn’t smile much inyour English classes when you were 

younger but this time I want you to smileeven if you feel like you are being 

stupid. It doesn’t matter, do it. You’regoing to change your body and by 

changing your body you’re going to feelbetter, you’re going to have 

moreenergy.

 

  And when you have more energy, when you feel better,you learn 

faster.There’s a lot of researchabout this.And it shows that people who 

have more energy, who are feeling goodemotionally, learn faster.People who 

are tired and bored learn much moreslowly.

 

  What’s another way that you canchange your emotion by changing your body?

Wellanother very easy way is through breathing.How you breathe 

determines theenergy in your body and how you feel.

 

  So for example if you have a veryshallow breath, you’re breathing very 

shallowly…small little breaths…tightchest.You’re going to feel different 

than if you’re taking big breaths that aredeep…that was just two breaths, 

already I can feel in my body a lot moreenergy.

 

  So taking deep breaths, it’s such asimple way and yet it’s very 

powerful. That’s why in a lot of spiritualtraditions, in Buddhism for 

example, and also in martial arts, in sports, youfind that they will focus 

on breathing.

  

 They will tell their students to breathe more deeply.They have a very kind 

of controlled way of breathing becausetheyknow by breathing very deeply 

they can change their emotional state and theirphysical state.Increase 

their energy. Increase the aliveness in theirbrain, the alertness in their 

brain.

 

 So this is another thing I want youto do before you learn English.

  

 Any kind of studying, these lessons or a book, anything, I want you to 

focus onbreathing deeply.

   

  Maybe just two minutes, for twominutes I want you to take deep breaths.

  

  Hold it for maybe 2, 3, 4 seconds and then let it out.Then do it again. 

Hold it…andbreathe out…and again and again, 1 or 2 minutes deep breathing.

   

  Of course at the same time rememberyou’re changing how your body is 

moving and how you’re sitting. You’re changingyour posture.Of course 

posture means body position so you’re going to have astrong posture. It 

means you’re going to have the shoulders back, your chin up,your eyes up, 

chest out. That’s number one.

  And then number two you’re going tobreathe deeply. Hold…and out…and 

again. So again, strong posture, shouldersback, chin up, eyes up and then 

deep breathing.

  

   Do this for 1 or 2 minutes every time before you study English.

  

   I know it seems crazy, it seems sosimple and yet it will totally change 

the way you feel while you’relearning.Because you will feel differently you 

will learn differently.Just thissimple, simple technique can increase your 

learning by two or three times, twoor three times faster because your brain 

will be awake when you’re listening toEnglish.When you’re bored, when 

you’re tired, your brain is half asleep. You’rejust not learning 

efficiently.When you’re breathing deeply and your body is ina strong 

posture you feel better and you learn faster.

  

  Of course the next factor we already talked about a little bit is 

your face. You gotta control your face.Why? Because your face shows 

emotion.But your face also can create emotion. Just by smiling big, 

pretending,looking like a stupid person, it doesn’t matter.Just by faking 

it, just by makingyourself smile bit you’ll actually change your emotion. 

You’ll change yourfeeling.It’s very hard to feel depressed and tired when 

you have a big smile,even if you’re forcing the smile.So that’s another 

thing I want you to do.Everyone on the train will think you’recrazy while 

you’re listening to Effortless English but I want you to have a 

bigsmile every time while you’re listening to the lessons. Right now, 

do it.

  

  So you’re going to have a strongposture. You’re going to breathe deeply.

  

 And you’re going to smile big, every time, before, during and after your 

Englishlessons.

   What’s another way we can control ourphysiology and therefore influence 

our emotional state?Well another thing aboutthe body is the body likes to 

move so we’re going to talk about movement.You’re going to have a strong 

posture.You’re going to breathe deeply. You’regoing to have a big grin on 

your face, smiling. And then you’re going to move.Because movement 

creates energy and energywakes up your body so that you learn faster.

 

  I mentioned this in the introductiona little bit. We’re going to talk 

about it more now in detail. You shouldalways be moving your body while 

you’re learning English.This is the oppositeof everything you learned in 

school.

 

 In school they told you “Don’t move. Sit in your chair.”

  

 Right, so you’re sitting in your chair and whathappened?  Your body 

became stiff, youbecame tired. You were bored.Well this is the 

opposite. You’re not in schoolanymore. You’re learning independently 

and it means you’re in control now.And so I want you to do the opposite 

of what happened in school. I want youto move your body every time you’re 

learning English.

 

  This can be very simple. If you’re sitting in a train, okay, it’s hard 

to walk around. So you could just stretch your body.

  

  Consciously stretch, stretch your lega little bit. Stretch your arm. Move 

your head around in a circle. Small littlestretches, just make sure your 

body is moving even a little bit.Even better isto go for a walk. You have an 

iPod. You’re listening to the lessons. Getoutside.Walk on the street. Walk 

in the country. Walk in the woods.

 

  It doesn’t matter. Get out and walk.Move your body.Keep your posture 

strong while you’re walking. Shoulders back,chin up, eyes up, chest up…

breathe deeply while you walk.

  

  And of course, smile big while you’rewalking. Everyone will think you’re 

crazy. It doesn’t matter.Use this system. Ipromise you you’re going to 

have a totally different experience while you’relearning English. Nothing 

like the schools you went to before.

  

  So it’s very important. If you want to, if you love to exercise, 

you canrun while you’re learning English.Put on yourrunning shoes. Get 

some exercise in your body at the same time that you’relearning. You can do 

two things at the same time.

 

  So walk or run. Keep that body movingat the same time always. It’s going 

to keep energy coming into your body,flowing into your body.That wakes up 

your brain and that makes you learn somuch faster.

  

  Another idea is go to the gym. Bringyour iPod again and work out, lift 

weights or do whatever you do at the gym.Again you’re using your body, 

engaging your body at the same time.

  

  Okay so let me just review veryquickly how you’re going to use physiology 

to master your emotions.Number one, posture. Shoulders back, chinup,

eyes up, chest up.Number two, breathing…deep, deep breathing.Number 

three,your face. A big smile every time you’re learning English.Even 

if you feelterrible, I don’t care. Smile big while you’re listening 

to these lessons.Andthen finally, number four, movement. You’re 

always going to be moving your bodysomehow.If you’re in your car, if 

you’re in the train or the bus, you’regoing to maybe make small movements.

 

  But ideally the best thing to do is to be outside walking, moving 

thatbody, or in the gym, or even running.

 

   So you’re going to change yourphysiology. Now what happens if after 

maybe 20 minutes, 30 minutes, you startto feel tired again.You’re listening 

to the lesson and you’re starting to get alittle bored “Oh, AJ keeps 

talking…oh god…oh I’m getting bored with this.”Well,you can just quit…

that’s what most people do. But don’t do that. What you needto do is just 

wake your body up again so pause. Pause that lesson. Stop.

   

  Give yourself a little break. Change. Listen to some exciting fun 

musicagain. Get up, dance around, move, smile big, get your posture 

strong again,breathe more deeply. Wake up your body, maybe for 5 

minutes…and then back tothe lesson again.

 

  Do this every time. Anytime during alesson you start to feel tired or 

bored, just pause. Take a break, a 5 minutebreak and wake up your body.So 

anytime during a mini.story, during a mainarticle, during a vocabulary 

lesson, it doesn’t matter.Pause anytime you feelyour energy going down.

  

   Change, listen to your favoritemusic, jump around, move, make your posture strong again, smile bigger.Startfeeling great. Get that energy in your body then return to the lesson again.

  

 Okay, so that’s it for the mainarticle here of “Emotional Mastery.” 

You’re going to focus on your physiology.You’re going to focus 

on mastering your body, using your body to change youremotions.

 

  Usingyour body to change the energy that you feel and therefore using your 

body tolearn English much, much faster.
