Automatic English For The People Emotional Mastery Vocabulary Text

Okay, welcome to the vocabulary lesson for "Emotional Mastery." Let's get started.

A few of the words I used in the main speech, the main article. First leť's talk about

posture. Posture. So posture means the position of your body, it's how you stand or sit.

So we talk about good posture, for example. Good posture means your shoulders are

back. Your back is straight, your chin is up. That's what we usually call good posture.

And bad posture would mean, you know again, you're leaning forward. Your shoulders

are forward. Your back is not straight. So again, posture just means the position of

your body, how you position your body. How you hold your body, that's posture.

Another word I used was grin. A grin can be a noun, it's a thing. Or it can be a verb, it's

something you do. So to grin means to smile, but to smile in a big way. When you grin,

you're not using a small smile. You're using a very, very big smile. Again, it's also a

noun so if you have a very big smile on your face, we say that is a grin. He has a big

grin. You could use both, I guess. You could say he is grinning a big grin. Okay, so

grin again is a large smile or the act of doing a large smile.

Another phrase I used was “tends to be." He tends to be an angry person. Tends to be

means usually is. So he usually is an angry person. He tends to be an angry person.

So it's something that usually happens, usually is true, mostly is true. But not always,

not always. So I could say, Tomoe tends to be happy. It means she usually is happy.

It's her normal thing to do or normal thing to feel. But not always, sometimes she's not

happy. So tends to be, usually is or often is or mostly is.

Okay, another word I used was shifting. Shifting your body and the verb is to shift. To

shift your body means to move it. It really means kind of to change its position. A shift

is a change of position. So if I have my head down and then I shift it, then maybe I

move it to a different position. Now it's up. I shifted from down to up. We use this in

other areas, not just body. You can use it for driving, for example. When you're driving

you can shift from first gear to second gear. Or reverse, you're going backwards, then

you stop, you shift the car and you change and you go forward. So again, you're

changing the gear's position. Okay, so shift is a change in position.

I used the word shallow, shallow breath or shallow breathing. And I also used the word

deep, deep breathing or a deep breath. So they're opposites, of course. Deep, we also

use this with water, for example. Deep water means water that goes down very far.

Shallow water means water that's not very deep, right? It's the opposite, water that

does not go down far. So shallow breathing is the same idea. It means breathing that

is very small, that doesn't go down into your body very much. So...that's shallow
