能量英语(四) 之 "信念"
英语音频地址：点击打开链接 访问密码： 257b
信念是又一个极其重要的管理自己心理、强化自己心理因素的秘诀，有了坚强的信
念，我们能更快的学好英语或其他任何东西，学习其他任何东西都会更加的快速。
一般有两种信念在影响着我们，一种是自我设限，另一种是自我强化。
我们首先来说说限制，限制也就是说自我设限，自我止步，固步自封，像是给自己
画了一个圈，阻止你继续前行的道路。也就是说，自我设限的信念就是阻挡你提升、阻
挡你前行，阻挡你变得更好。
我要说的是，大部分的英语学生都有自我设限的信念，并且还有不少的东西有很强烈
的自我设限的信念、想法。我把这种信念称之叫“创伤”，这是我从一个日本学生那里
听到一个词， 他们常常跟我说，我英语不好，英语说不好，因为我有英语的创伤。
一、什么是英语的创伤？
什么是英语的创伤，到底那是什么，为什么他们这么说？创伤呢，就是一些伤痛，
一些伤口。情绪上的伤痛，心理深处的伤痛，也就是说，他们在英语的学习过程中有一
些很负面的、很痛苦的经历。换句话说，就是当他们去学习去上英语课，即使是成年人
去上一些英语课，在他们的印象、记忆中都有很负面、痛苦的经历。就是这些负面、痛
苦的经历产生了一些非常的负面的记忆、信念，一些自我设限的信念。比如，很多人会
说“我的英语不好。”这就是一个信念。也许这是真的，但也许这未必是真的。但是，
这是一种态度，一种他们内在有的信念。
另一个就是非常常见的信念，英语很难或英语很复杂。但这只是一种观念罢了，对于
我来说，英语很简单，因为我是土生土长的英语人，就像你说你自己的母语一样是一件
非常简单的事情。比如，张三能讲一口流利的日语，为什么？因为他就是一个日本人，
在日本长大，或许我会说“日语真的很难”，然而他会说“错，英语简直就是小菜一
碟.”
这就是一下信念，它是从我们的经历中产生而来的。但是问题就是，这些信念限制了
我们，阻碍了我们，妨碍了我们，这阻止我们变得的更优秀、变得更好。就是这些导致
了学生和学习者产生了很多的问题，当我是一个学生时，也是如此，我试着学习日语，
比如，当我有这些负面的信念是，我想，“哎，日语真的是太难了，“日语简直是太复
杂了，看看它的写法，和英语比较起来，简直是他难了。
就是这些自我设限的信念，组织了我的激情，它们降低了我情绪，但是事实是这些信
念全是错误的，并且这并非是事实。日语并非真的难，日语并非很复杂。一个小孩子，
就算是一个很小的美国小孩，也能毫不费力的、非常轻松的学好日语，这其中的原因之
一就是他们没有这些自我设限的信念，他们能唱歌，玩游戏并沉浸在日语的快乐中，并
能快速的、开心学习日语，他们会说“日语很简单哦。”英语对于你来说也可能使类似
的，你过去学习英语的经历很痛苦，觉得很难，随着时间的推移，你在大脑里产生了一
种信念，英语很难！英语很枯燥，英语是痛苦的，我的英语不好，我将永远讲一口流利
的英语，所有的这些都只是一些你内在的信念罢了。
二、怎么脱离创伤呢？
好了，那么，你应该怎样去消除这些信念呢？你知道你有这些不好的信念，它们是负
面的，消极的，它们完全不能帮助我们成长，但是我们必须想办法，让我们自己如何甩
掉这些信念？这就是第一步，甩掉这些负面的观念，弱化它们，去除它们。
从生活的对象中获得的一些好的信念会变得越来越强，这些对象就是一些经历和记
忆，有时这就是一些你的想象，一些事实，但必定是一些特殊的经历或一些特殊的联
想，一些特殊的时刻让你的信念变得更强或更弱，比如，你觉得“英语是痛苦的，英语
是枯燥的。”
一般你都是什么时候会有这些观念的，这些观念，信念有事怎么来的？你会回想起之
前的考试经验，你会回想中学的一些遭遇，当你犯错时，老师给你纠错，你感觉很难
过；或是你不怎么理想的分数，或是那些所有试卷中的红标记，让你觉得很痛苦。这些
让你的记忆一层又一层加深，使你有更多的负面的经历，消极的对象。当你积累到足够
多时，就会发展到非常的多、非常的强烈、非常深刻的信念：“英语是很难的，英语是
痛苦的,我学不好英语。”
所以为了弱化这些信念，你必须找到问题的根源，找到问题所在。比如，让我来问问
你，你上过的学习是不是都是一流的，非常的好的？你上过的学校中是否都有非常厉
害、渊博、有趣，非常的积极正能量的英语老师？你的每天英语学习是不是都相当的开
心？事实是，我知道，对于大多数的你来说，这个答案是否定的，所有这就是很有趣
了，如果你的学习不是非常的优秀，也许问题就出在这个学校上，而不是你。或许就是
你没有在一个很好的学校，所以你的英语不是相当的好。或你坚信英语是很难的，是因
为你过去用的方法都是很困难的，或你的老师用的教学方法很枯燥乏味;或是你的学校用
的是很枯燥乏味的教程;或是你在学习有没有深入的学习，比如学习教程的一章，在较长
的时间内进行重复、反复的学习直到你完完全全的掌握，百分之百的学会到永远的都不
会忘掉的程度。
事实情况并非如此，在我所知道的很多的学校都是正好相反，老师为了赶进度、完
成教学任务，都是走的非常、非常、非常快的。也许就是一天学习一课，接着第二天有
学习第二课了，比如我自己的经历，我在高中和大学时，学习西班牙语，我一共学习了
两年，但是我现在几乎全忘记了，原因是我压根就没有深入的学习过。老师只是试着让
我们尽可能的学习多的单词，大量的词汇，许多的语法，并且相当的快，，，，，最后
呢，当然，到现在我都忘光了。
你呢？你在学校有深入的学习过吗？如果没有，也许这就是整洁所在，英语之所以
难，也许就是因为你从来就没有深入的学习过，英语本身就不是一个问题。也许学习的
方式完全不对，你学习英语只是为了词汇，为了考试，为了语法等等。
三、你会这么做吗？
从现在开始，抛弃这些自我设限的观念，摆脱它们，它们完全就是错误的。英语压根
就不难，英语也不是痛苦的，英语更不是枯燥的。这不过就是一个观念，一些过去的经
历罢了，从现在开始，改变它，在将来的学习中也改变它。
从现在开始，提升自己，武装自己，给自己创造激情，让自己变得更加的强大，给自
己力量。给自己创造正能量的信念。比如，你常常对自己说“我的大脑就是一个天生会
学习的机器。”什么都能学习的很快，学的很好，能没有疲惫的学习，因为有无数的科
学研究证明，我们的大脑本来就有天生学习英语的能力，我们的大脑就是被设计来学习
和掌握语言的。
语言本来就是应该快乐的，简单的，轻松愉快的，让我们开心的东西，就像我们学习
自己的母语一样，我们学习我们自己的母语会觉得困难吗？永远没有，我们自然而然的
就会了，所以呢，这就是一个新的信念，你可以马上把这写下来，写下这个句子来:”我
的大脑天生就是学习语言的机器。“每天都提醒自己，每天都告诉自己。
这还有一个简单的信念：“英语应该是有趣的、快乐的、轻松开心的。”这本来就
是一个事实，你可以想一些小例子，比如，一些Mini 小故事，这不是真实，但它们很有
趣，很搞笑，或许很疯。每天都要记得告诉自己， “英语应该是有趣的、快乐的、轻松
开心的。”让这些极具正能量的东西来强化你自己的大脑和信心。我会给一些很真实的
例子，你也可以找到很多真实的例子，多去和那些英语好的人交流学习，不用多久你也
会变的很优秀的。
我想给你讲一个我最喜欢的例子：Steve Kaufman，他能够讲十二门语言，我希望你
可以找找相关这个人的资料并学习学习他们的信念。他是我的一个很好的朋友之一，我
和他交流过很多很多次，比如他也说道：语言的学习，本来就是很简单，很轻松、很愉
快的。这就是他的观念，他的母语是英语，但他能讲流利的广东话、中国官方汉语，他
说日语、讲俄语，这些都是被认为在世界上都是相当的难的语言，但是对于他来说，一
点也不难，因为他一直坚信：“语言本身就是有趣的、快乐的、轻松开心的。”
另一个信念就是你应该学习常用的、通俗的、有意义的英语。也就是说，没有必要专
门的专注学习语法，乏味的教科书，他是在阅读有趣的故事，这样总是能让他开心快乐
起来的。他一直听自己喜欢的同学，所以对于他来说学习语言就是一件非常非常享受的
事情。让我感兴趣的是：这些很成功的社会上的人，我的学生中那些最优秀的，学的相
当的快的，考试总能得高分的，讲的相当的好的，他们都有信念，几乎都有同样的观
念，同样的观点，他们都坚信：语言真的是很有趣的。
他们那些在语言上很成功的人都相信语言本来就是很自然的掌握的，他们都相
信，他们应该多把时间和精力放在具体的语境，生活中来，而不是语法，孤立的单词
上。所以，你懂了，如果你想成为像他们一样优秀，你就应该有像他们一样的想法，
有像他们一样的信念。
最后，我给你一个小小的作业，我希望你自己拿起笔，写下两个、三个、四个，，， ，，， 能激励你自己的信念，这些信念能持续的燃起你学习英语的激情。比如“我的大
脑天生就是一个学习语言的机器。”或是”英语真的很快乐，英语是毫不费力的，是很
轻松愉快的。“或是”我真的很爱英语。“写下两个、三个、四个，，， ，，，我不知
道，你一定要根据你自己的情况，写下几个信念，每天看看它，告诉你自己，让你有持
续学习和操练的激情。
我记得美国汽车大王福特先生就说过：if you think you can ,you can ; if
youthing you can’t ,you can’t ,in either case, you are right!”如果你每天给
自己正面的信念，正面的词汇，预言自己，重复、重复再重复，一遍一遍又一遍，说不
定在某一天就正的成为了现实。
到现在我们总结一下，用上你的身体、肢体，你的大脑，你的信念，让他们三者一
起，你将会变得所向披靡，无所不胜。
这就是今天我们今天就交流的主要内容：信念。希望读者多多指点，也愿多多一
起交流互相学习和成长。

Power、Effortless English
Hello, welcome to the fourth lesson.
This one is called “Beliefs.”
Let’s get started.Beliefs are another important part of managing
yourpsychology, of strengthening your psychology so that you will
learn English, oranything in fact, much faster.And there are two kinds
of beliefs to generalcategories of beliefs. Limiting and empowering.
Let’s talk about limiting beliefs first.Now limiting means, limit
is something that stopsyou. It’s like a boundary.It stops you from
going ahead.So a limiting belief is a belief that stops youfrom
improving, a belief that stops you from getting better.
And I’d say most English students have limitingbeliefs and many
English students have very strong limiting beliefs.I call these
beliefs English trauma and I got thatname from a few of my Japanese
students. They would tell me “AJ, I can’t speakEnglish well because
I have English trauma.”
What is English trauma? What is that, what are theytalking about?
Well, trauma means some kind of injury, some kind of hurt.Emotional
hurt, deep emotional hurt.So what they mean is that they had some
verynegative, painful experiences with English in the past.
In other words, when they were in school in Englishclasses, even as
adults going to other English schools, they had very
negativeexperiences.And all these negative experiences have
createdsome very negative beliefs, some very limiting beliefs.
For example, they say “I am not good at English. ”Well, that’s a
belief.It may be true, it may not be true. But it’s anopinion, it’s
a belief that they have.Another belief, a very common belief, English
is difficult. Or, English is complicated.
Well, that’s just a belief.For me English is very easy, because
I’m a native speaker,just like your native language for you is very
easy.Tomoe can speak Japanese fluently because she’sJapanese, so I
might say “Japanese is difficult,” and she would say “No,Japanese
is super easy.”
These are just beliefs that come from our experiences.
The problem is these limiting beliefs limit us.They in fact do limit
us. They stop us from getting better.They cause a lot of problems for
us as students, aslearners. I have them, too. As I try to learn
Japanese, for example, I have alot of these limiting beliefs I realize.
I think “Oh, Japanese is so difficult.” Japanese iscomplicated,
just look at the writing system. It’s so different from English.And
these beliefs hurt my motivation. They lower myenergy, and in fact
they’re wrong. They’re not true.Japanese does not have to be
difficult, it does nothave to be complicated.
A small child, even a small American child, couldlearn Japanese very
effortlessly, very easily.And the reason is, the number one reason is,
they don’t have the limiting beliefs.They can sing songs and play
games and enjoy thelanguage, and they’ll learn it so quickly, so
easily, they’ll say “Japanese iseasy.”
Well, it’s the same with English with you. Youlearned in a very
painful, difficult way in the past.And so you developed, you created
these beliefs inyour head.English is difficult. English is boring.
English ispainful. I’m not good at English. I’ll never speak
excellent English. These arejust beliefs.
So how do you eliminate these beliefs?
Okay, you have these beliefs. You know they’renegative, you know they’re
not helping you.But we have to figure out, how can we get rid ofthe limiting
beliefs? That’s the first step, you have to weaken them. You haveto make
them weaker and weaker and weaker. You have to cut them down.
Well beliefs get stronger from references.And reference is just an
experience or a memory.Sometimes it’s just something you imagine, actually.
But it’s a specific experience or a specificimagination, a specific moment,
that makes the belief stronger or weaker. So,for example, you have this idea
“English is painful and boring.”
And when you thinkof this belief, where does it come from? Well, you think
of all these pastexperiences. You think of the time in middle school where
your teachercorrected your mistake and you felt terrible.
And you think of maybe the bad grades you got onthe test or all the red
marks on your English papers.And you start adding more and more and
morememories, more of these negative experiences, these negative references.
And if you get enough, you will develop a very,strong, deep, powerful
belief “English is difficult. English is painful. I’mnot good at
English.”So to weaken these, you just have to question thereferences.You
have to question the experiences. Take thepower away from the experiences.
And an easy way to do that is just to ask questionsabout them.For example,
let me ask this question.Your past English schools, were they excellent?
Were they just fantastic English schools withfantastic, amazing, fun,
positive English teachers?Did you have a great time every day?Well, I know
for most of you the answer is no.So that’s interesting, so if your schools
were notexcellent, maybe the school was the problem.Maybe it’s not you.
Maybe your English is not great because you did notgo to great schools.
And did those schools that you went to, or thebooks you used, did they use
proven methods? Did they use research‑based methods?Did they know a lot
about the research aboutEnglish learning, English teaching? Did they only
use the best methods?
Or did they just use the textbook that everybodyelse uses?Well, I know
from my experience as a teacher, mostschools just use the same textbooks.
They don’t know why.Maybe the boss tells them “We must use this book.”
But they’re not choosing the very, very bestmethods. They’re not
choosing the very, very best books.And so maybe the reason you believe
English isdifficult is because you used difficult methods in the past, or
your teachersdid.Maybe you think English is boring because in thepast you
used boring methods. You went to boring schools. You had boring
teachers.Maybe English isn’t the problem. Maybe it was thesepast
experiences. Maybe it was the way you did it or where you did it.
Ask yourself these questions. Think about them indetail. Weaken your
limiting beliefs. Challenge your limiting beliefs.
Another question, in school did you learn deeply?
For example, did you take one chapter in your bookand learn it for a long
time so that you totally mastered it, so that you knewit completely, 100%
and never forgot it?
Probably not, most schools I have seen and the onesI have taught in, it’s
quite the opposite.The teachers go very, very, very quickly. You learnone
chapter in your book, boom, after one week on to the next one, and the
nextone.Each chapter has so many new words, so much newgrammar.For example,
my experience with Spanish in highschool and university, I took Spanish,
I’ve had a total of maybe two years ofSpanish, but I forgot it all. Because
we never learned deeply.
They just tried to make us learn as many words aspossible, a lot of words,
a lot of words, a lot of grammar, very, very fast.And then, of course, I
forgot everything.How about you? Did you learn deeply in yourschools?
If not, maybe that was one of the problems. MaybeEnglish feels difficult
because you never learned deeply.Maybe English is not the problem.
Finally, did you learn with a grammar translationmethod?Did you study a
lot of grammar rules? Did you takea lot of tests?Did you feel good about
that?Again, maybe the method was the problem.
Maybe the school is the problem, not English.
So think about these questions and think about themevery day. Think about
them a lot, especially this week as you listen to LessonNumber 4. I want you
to think about these questions again and again and again.And really be
honest about it.
And start to destroy these limiting beliefs. Getrid of them. They’re
wrong. English is not difficult. English is not painful.English is not
boring.It’s only a belief. It’s only a past experience. Youcan change that
now and in the future.
So let’s do that. Let’s talk now about empoweringbeliefs, the positive
side.So to empower, the verb, to empower means to makestronger. It means to
give power to another person.Or in this case, it means the beliefs give
youpower.An empowering belief is a belief that makes youfeel powerful, that
gives you power.
That’s the kind of beliefs you want and you need tochoose them。You must
decide which beliefs will make youstronger.For example, here’s an
empowering belief. You canreplace your old limiting belief, add this one
instead.
You can say “My brain is a natural languagelearning machine. ”
Because that’s what all of the scientific researchshows, our brain
naturally learns languages. It is designed to learn language.It should be
easy. It should be effortless. Itshould feel good.You learned your native
language that way.It wasn’t difficult was it?
English was easy for me to learn, because I did itin a totally natural
way.And the more naturally I tried to learn Japanese,for example, or
Spanish, the easier it feels.So this is a new belief and you should write
it down, think about it.
Write down this idea, this belief “My brain is anatural language learning
machine.”Think about it every day.Decide to choose that belief.Here’s
another belief you might decide to choose“English can be fun and
effortless.”English can be fun and effortless.That’s an empowering belief
and it’s also true.
You can think of a lot of examples for this.
Some of these mini-stories you’re listening to,right? They’re fun.
They’re stupid, sometimes. They’re crazy, sometimes. Butthey’re not
serious.
English can be fun and effortless.
That’s an empowering belief you want to choose andyou want to remember it
every day.And to make these beliefs stronger, you needexperiences. Remember,
you need references, you need examples that prove thebelief.
So I’m going to give you some examples and you canfind more. Go find people who speak English very well.Or maybe even that have learned another
languagevery well. I’ll give you one of my favorite examples, Steve Kaufman
of TheLinguist speaks, I believe, twelve languages now.I want you to find
these people and look at theirbeliefs.
I’ll tell you some of his beliefs because he’s afriend, I’ve talked to
him a number of times, and Steve believes, for example,that language
learning is easy and effortless. That’s his belief.
He’s a native English speaker, he speaks Cantonese,he speaks Mandarin, he
speaks Japanese, he speaks Russian. These are all,supposedly, difficult
languages.For him they’re not difficult. They’re easy andeffortless.
That’s a very strong belief he has.Another belief he has is that you must
learnlanguage naturally and you must focus on meaning.So in other words, he
doesn’t focus on the grammar.He’s not focusing on boring textbooks. He’s
readinginteresting things that he enjoys.
He’s listening to interesting things that heenjoys. So, for him, language
learning is interesting.What’s really interesting for me is that these
arethe same beliefs that all of my best students have. They all have these
sameideas.
The best students, the ones who learn the fastest,the ones who have the
best test scores, the ones with the best speaking, theyall believe these
things. They all believe that English is fun, interesting andeffortless.
They all believe that language learning is natural.They all believe that
they should focus on themeaning, not on the grammar and the little pieces of
the language.So if you want to be like these successful people,you need to
think like them. You need to have the same beliefs as them.
So here’s what I want you to do. Here’s yourhomework. This is the last
thing, the last part of this lesson.What I want you to do is write down two,
three,four empowering beliefs, beliefs that give you power about
English.Maybe “My brain is a natural language learningmachine. ”
Maybe “English can be fun and effortless.Maybe “I love English.”I
don’t know, write down, two, three, fourempowering beliefs about English.
And every day you’re going to do an incantation.That’s a good word,
that’s a new word, incantation.An incantation is a phrase or sentence that
you sayagain and again.
It has almost a magic idea, it comes from magic. Anincantation is a
magical sentence.It’s a sentence, if you say the sentence somethingwill
happen. That’s where it comes from.But for us an incantation is just a
belief you aregoing to repeat again and again and again every day.
So here’s what you’re going to do. For example“English can be fun and
effortless.”You’re going to say that out loud every day whileyou’re
walking along and you’re doing your posture. And you’re breathing
andyou’re smiling.Well, you’re going to add one more thing. As youwalk, as
you’re getting ready for the lesson, you’re going to repeat this outloud.
You’re going to say “English can be fun and effortless.”
You’re going to say it with some emotion. Say itwith feeling so you’re
smiling, you’re breathing deep, you’re moving your body,you have good
posture and now you’re also saying these strong beliefs.English can be fun
and effortless. You repeat itagain. English can be fun and effortless. And
then you say it again. Englishcan be fun and effortless.
You can do this in your room and its fine. You cando it outside and make
everyone look at you and think you’re crazy.Why not?It’s better than
feeling powerless, right? It’sbetter than being bored.I promise you will
learn so much faster if you do this.So do these incantations every day just
before you do a lesson.
Get your body strong, peak emotional state, andthen say these
incantations. English can be fun and effortless. English can befun and
effortless.
Now your body, your mind, your beliefs, they’re alltogether, very strong.
Then you’re ready to learn.Okay, that is the end of the main story
for“Beliefs.”
