115. How the universal laws work with language learning

Author: Hadar Shemesh April 2, 2021 Duration: 44:05

Speaking a second language can create insecurities, fears, and frustrations. These feelings sometimes pop up when we hear ourselves speaking, and we feel that we're far from the ideal we have in our mind.

We listen to our English and determine if we're powerful or not.
We allow these thoughts to define our identity and self-worth.
But what if we looked at it from a different perspective?

What if we realized that our thoughts, visualizations, and energy regarding the way we see ourselves are MORE important than the language itself?

In this episode you'll hear my conversation with Kisma, who's a prosperity code mentor, about how this approach can support you on your English journey, and in life – and how you can step into your inner power.
