Welcome to Your English Toolbox — Slow English Podcast.
Today, Peter guides you through a special shadowing session designed to help you calm the mind and control overthinking using short, clear, powerful English sentences.
This episode contains 100 sentences divided into five blocks of 20, each one focusing on a different mental skill:
Block 1: Why your mind overthinks and why it becomes louder at night
Block 2: The illusion of control & the “What If” spiral
Block 3: Naming the Noise — a psychological technique to create distance
Block 4: The 30-Second Reality Check + One Tiny Action
Block 5: The 90-Second Emotional Wave & general advice to reduce mental noise
You will listen, breathe, and repeat each sentence during the silence.
This slow shadowing method helps you build rhythm, confidence, and emotional control — in English and in life.
At the end, Peter summarizes each block with simple guidance so you can practice these tools anytime the mind becomes loud.
