Shadowing English with Selena Gomez "Trust Yourself" | American Accent | Shadowing Exercises

Key wellness + self-care strategies (from the message in the subtitles)

• Challenge self-doubt and negative feedback

  • When others say you “don’t have what it takes,” it can “crush” you—but the speaker frames these remarks as something to withstand rather than internalize.

• Practice self-trust as a core resilience habit

  • Repeat/commit to: “Always trust in myself.”
  • Use self-trust to push through discouragement and keep moving forward.

• Choose actions that come from genuine love

  • If you’re doing something because you love it, do it because you love it (not because of external validation).

• Build belief through affirming what you can do

  • The speaker emphasizes: “I believe I can do it.”
  • This functions like a mental/emotional reframe—strengthening confidence when you feel knocked down.

• Stay supported (and lean on your “anchor”)

  • The speaker highlights their mom’s presence and reassurance as a stabilizing factor during a discouraging moment.

• Use a “turn the other cheek” mindset toward criticism

  • Don’t let critics define you:
    • Let the critics be critics
    • Let the credits/feedback be feedback, not identity.

• Keep going

  • Advice delivered directly: “Keep going.”
  • Persistence is presented as the outcome of self-trust and inner conviction.
