A short YouTube monologue by Hadar Shemesh about the mental and emotional toll of overthinking—particularly self-editing and worrying about speaking—which drains energy and makes speaking feel exhausting. She argues that changing perception and mindset can resolve these issues and that mindset is central to becoming confident and fluent.
If you are an overthinker, if you are someone who tends to edit themselves, if you are someone who tends to really worry about speaking, or you tend to always review what you said, how you said it, that takes up a mental, emotional toll. And those things take up a lot of energy. And we're not even aware of how much it drains you, so that every speaking experience feel exhausting. So all of these things that can be resolved with just changing perception, changing your mindset. This is why I believe that mindset is such a huge part of the work that we do. Becoming confident and becoming fluent.
