How To Speak Like You Think (5 Steps)

[@void2400]

I love how carefully you choose your words rather than cutting up your video to make yourself appear more articulate than you are (like most youtubers)

[@tyrfree5733]

I'm a writer so I write what I want to say and simply read it out.

[@UsamahMohdSabri]

Some youtuber would like to have a shorter video, wasting less of our time and make the point. Cutting out the silent part would help. But i do know what you mean

[@p-p.p]

In the past, I have produced videos of a similar nature. Indeed, it is a challenging endeavor, often resembling an internal struggle.

[@nocny5546]

​@@UsamahMohdSabriit would be a faux pas to cut the video-which is manipulating way of speech in a video which is about becoming better at speaking you cannot cut anything out in real life so it would be hypocritical to do so

[@UsamahMohdSabri]

@@nocny5546 he's generalising all the individuals who cutting out the pausing parts. I'm not talking specifically about the one who teaches how to be a fluent speaker. But still, it's still acceptable for someone to cut out the part, so the video would be shorter and waste lesser amount the time of viewers watching

[@dudeguy8864]

really the key is to read books. I used to be a really bad speaker but, this summer I started reading more and my vocabulary expanded and my can articulate my thoughts so much easier and clearer so yeah just do that

[@amirrezaedalati4930]

You are the vessel for bringing articulation to effective communication. God Bless you.

[@Aj-fd4ne]

Bullet Summary: - Achieving the flow state helps to communicate thoughts and ideas seamlessly - Five practices to achieve the flow state: 1. Focus on the three M's of communication: me, message, and messenger 2. Focus on the intention and purpose of communication 3. Practice active listening and empathy 4. Embrace vulnerability and authenticity 5. Practice consistently and seek feedback

[@vincenterskine3216]

You don't want to focus on all of the M's. Only one my friend lol

[@tirezis7564]

Thanks!

[@evan.5967]

What a beautiful example of how short all our attention spans' are. Get rid of short form media. Now. It will do you good.

[@aidanmohrman9493]

This is exactly what I struggle with. I used to be happy when I was in a flow state. People could tell I was happy too because my sarcastic humor and facial expressions would lift the energy levels in the room. I have since become an overthinker and question everything in my head before I say it. My sense of humor is gone and I can’t ever seem to ride the wave of thoughts in my head without over editing all of it. Engineering school and a very sensitive ex girlfriend both major contributing factors.

[@darksat6]

I needed this so much. I never talk in my work team meetings because I was overfocused on myself and when I did talk in the past, I kept stumbling on my words due to the anxiety... I will definitely do these steps, I'm tired of being scared and incoherent

[@inhabitantofearth]

I just found your channel today, and as someone with social anxiety, learning how to get out of my head when I talk to people and express my thoughts articulately, is something I want to master. I'm extremely happy that you're making this content because it is very valuable to me 🙂

[@vozeneldecierto3559]

I have been repeating your words right after they come out of your mouth and I’ve also been repeating the word/speeches of public speakers. I’ve done this for only a few days and I have to say, I already feel more confident in speaking with my peers. I also make a metal repetition on the words of someone in conversation and I can say, I now better understand people, allowing myself to be an active and effective communicator.

[@creepbustas1038]

I read about this in Psycho- cybernetics. Very interesting . Gonna give it a go

[@rayparwot]

Very interesting method ... How are you doing right now?

[@user-yj7so3cv8y]

that’s actually a language learning method called shadowing that I used to do when I was learning English very effective.

[@vozeneldecierto3559]

@@rayparwot I no longer do this. It was a phase in my life where I was building confidence to speak out of my comfort zone. I remember hearing and repeating over the words of Bob Kennedy and other prolific orators. It is an exercise I would highly recommend to anyone building either their public speaking skills and or strengthening attentive listening. The praises I’ve received from people include that they’ve perceive a beautiful attentiveness, and the masses recognize a powerful/ relatable message. It helps that I listen with an open heart and give with open arms.

[@Ricin311]

5 steps to effectively express your thoughts and ideas clearly: 1. Focus on the 3 M's of communication; Me, Messenger and Message. 2. Focus on being present and listening in the moment. 3. Expanding your vocabulary 4. Achieving optimal articulation of ideas requires forethought. 5. Reading out loud improves vocal articulation.

[@Spiffy3.8]

I want to thank you for posting this video on the internet. All of us are learning and need a reminder. ❤

[@joshuaharper6591]

I have been trying to learn how to communicate my ideas and thoughts. I've been told that I stammer and stutter in regular conversation, but speaking from the heart, the passions, the beliefs, is the key to speaking clearly and engaging.

[@CharlestonGirl81]

I’m so grateful this video randomly popped up. This is such helpful information. I always feel like I’m in my head and overthinking things.

[@AlanPortugal-ps5xd]

Key take ways 1. The Flow state allows one to go past that mental barrier that impedes clarity allowing you to clearly and masterfully express your thoughts. 2. How to achieve this Keep in mind the 3 Ms meaning Me, Message, Messenger with the Messenger being the most eloquent of the three which is a result of the flow state. 3. Being more present meaning that instead of putting all your focus on how you come off as you focus on listening to what the other person is saying which allows for more thought-out responses 4. Lastly take more time to think about a question this allows you to better think about the topic and formulate a more appropriate response.

[@nishazed3278]

Thanks

[@antidelusionalpeeps]

As someone who has anxiety, you've described perfectly the "surviving the conversation" mode and not having access to your mind. Whenever someone is talking to me, my mind is always working toward getting a reply out as soon as possible rather than taking the time to process what the person just said and give an appropriate answer.

[@ayahassari6740]

I’ve just finished watching your recent video and I just came across this one too. What an amazing progress you made! Thank you so much for the tips.

[@crestfallenwarrior6996]

Dude you spoke to me in such a personal level. I feel like I know wtf I’m thinking is so clear so concise so good and intellectual….. then I talk and sound like a dumb dumb or … I can’t articulate what I’m thinking. I’m so glad I’m not the only one and so glad you have tips for this.

[@khaleysdrogl5703]

I totally agree with you on step 5 - so true. Reading out loud is a strenuous activity, but can also be empowering.

[@HeavenestStCyr]

1 MMM 5:00 Me (introspective): It's not about me but there's a focus on myself and surviving the situation and the anxiety and how I feel. This mutes your mind. Message (word choice/extrospective): Focus on the social impact of what and how I communicate Messenger (being a vessel): you are okay with not being perfect which gives yo freedom to communicate more freely and into a flow state. 2 Being Present in the moment 10:00 Focus on what is going on at that moment, focus on the speaker and listening to what they have to say. Forget about what is outside of your control and what does matter. This takes focus off of yourself and your fear and anxiety 13:35 Improve your communication and vocabulary Words are petabytes of info condensed into kilobytes of symbols and behind words are feelings biased, experiencies, nuances

[@varunroy221]

[@christinaforras]

I appreciate the way you speak to the limitations of language. As someone who often dabbles in the ineffable dimensions of spirituality, your descriptions resonate strongly. ❤

[@baconpancake6]

I had a stroke at birth and am just making breakthroughs with this issue actually. Unconsciously convincing yourself that you will fail the second you speak is the problem. You will succeed and people will listen. Make the effort to get out of your head and you will achieve greatness. Confidence can take you many places, and without it can leave you focusing on the small things. LOVE YOURSELF

[@hustler607]

Great stuff buddy

[@Kwikasfuki007]

"It's almost as if your mind is a prison for your intellect." - That's a useful quote to ponder. The rest of the video was equally useful with a brilliant use of metaphors and colours sprinkled throughout your presentation.

[@TudorIrimescu]

16:00 What I have to emphasize is that using big words is to be avoided. The point is to be precise, not pretentious. Some popular words may have been tainted with meanings that don't do justice to the thought you're trying to express and you end up being limited.

[@yuxiangzhang2343]

This is so true. You literally gave me an Epiphany on my anxiety problem

Thank you so much! Your content has shifted my mind about the way I speak and write. Thank you for articulating what you have learned and sharing it with the world!

[@iniquitousman8251]

You have super natural introspection💪🏻💪🏻

[@sprenzy42]

What is in your mind is understanding And you cannot really put understanding into words unless you have proper vocabulary perhaps thinking how to best put it into words or paraphrasing from people whose sentence patterns of speech you enjoy That's why we have the workers in that field and coaches who are able to convey and teach what they understand onto the players This like anything can be trained and learned Take it from jazz musicians, what they call improv is not really improv or spontaneous as it seems Jazz musicians can hear what they want to play and have enough vocabulary to play it because they have already practiced that thousands of times. They have a wide range of vocabulary for what they want to express

[@nishazed3278]

22:00 makes sense to read outloud to improve this skill, because we used to practise debating like tht- gonna do this exercise definitely!! Ty

[@libbyrodriguez]

I just discovered you and have been thoroughly enjoying your videos. There are so many curious insights related to speaking and thinking. I’ve noticed that my speech has gotten a bit worse during the past few years, have been more “in my head,” and I have ADHD so the problem that you presented here is very relatable! I tend to be more articulate when writing in comparison to speaking. The “me” stage is something I’ll have to work on with myself. This reminded me of the TED talk that mentions “The Second Circle.” I highly recommend it! Nevertheless, you are a wonderful speaker for someone in this age group! Let’s get you to at least 100K subscribers this year! You’re already over halfway there 🥳💪🏼

Great video once again. Thank you! One question: Doesn’t this method or way of speaking only work for situations where you’re expressing yourself in a conversation where people have time to listen to you. What if you want to speak in a situation (perhaps at a work/sales presentation where people don’t have all the time of day to listen to you craft a perfectly accurate sentence that reflects exactly what you’re thinking with pauses etc?

How do you attain that mental shift of moving from focusing on surviving the conversation and focusing too much on yourself in a self conscious way, to moving into a state of flow where you can just speak naturally?

Reading books out loud does help. Especially poems.

These are such quality videos. I'm so surprised there aren't more views and praises!

[@ophelia5547]

Being present in the moment is actually so important being actually there is automatically gonna make you know what you’re gonna say next. As someone who usually have a blank mind while talking to others I found out that the reason for that is because i’m not really present like I’m usually just half there and obviously i don’t face that when I’m texting it’s just when I’m calling my friends and the reason I’m half there is because I usually feel anxious and always on alert in case my dad comes into the room when I’m calling someone he wouldn’t like it and might even get me into problems I decided not to care too much about that anymore and just live my life
