00:00How often do you do something for yourself?

00:05Hey, I'm Marco for AuthenticGermanLearning.com

00:10and this is the topic for today.

00:46The quick tip: We acquire a language

00:53through comprehensible input.

00:56That means that you learn German most effectively

01:04if you read and listen to a lot of German

01:12and it is very helpful,

01:15if the level a little above that

01:21which you can understand now.

01:25With this video you get, for example,

01:29lots comprehensible input.

01:33We all enjoy it

01:35when someone does us a favor.

01:39So when someone does me a favor,

01:43then I'm always very pleased,

01:45because then I feel highly appreciated.

01:47I am glad that there are people

01:50in my life, who do good things for me.

01:53But how often we do ourselves a favor?

01:59Because I think this is very important,

02:03to also do favors for ourselves.

02:06I think it is very important,

02:10to do something for yourself.

02:12And this includes quite a lot of things: eating good food,

02:24having an organized workplace,

02:28having a neat and clean apartment

02:32- all of which can be described as

02:36”doing something for ourselves”. Lately I'm doing

02:41many such things and I realize

02:44how it totally boosts my self-confidence and also

02:52that it makes me much happier.

02:56It makes me much happier to know

02:59I'm doing things for myself.

03:02I eat healthier now. I'm think about

03:07how I can use my time more effectively.

03:10I exercise more intensively.

03:14I cleaned my room very much.

03:19Everything is now very clean here.

03:22One reason for this is also, that you will

03:28see a tidy room behind me.

03:33For me it feels totally great,

03:40because my brain then gets the message:

03:43”Hey, I value myself I am worth something!”

03:46This really is the essence of self-esteem.

03:51Not that others think that you have value,

03:56but that you yourself are convinced

04:02that you are valuable.

04:03Sometimes it may of course be difficult

04:09to do certain things.

04:10Sometimes it can be difficult,

04:13to overcome one's weaker self (”pig-dog”)

04:16and to do certain things

04:19such as cleaning and so on.

04:21There is often this weaker self (”pig-dog”).

04:25I'll explain ”pig-dog” briefly:

04:30So in the German language we have this saying

04:34”to overcome the inner pig-dog”.

04:42”Pig-dog” actually makes no sense.

04:47A pig-dog - is that a mixture

04:51of a pig and a dog?

04:53No idea, but that word

04:57occurs only in this phrase.

05:01And you overcome your weaker self

05:05if you partly don't want to do something

05:13but you still do.

05:15And when you overcome your weaker self

05:19when you apply the willpower

05:21and take care of yourself

05:27and do precisely such things as cleaning,

05:30doing sports, eating healthy, pursuing hobbies, then

05:37you realize very quickly that you feel better.

05:46Therefore, my question to you is: What can you do

05:51in order to take care of yourself?

05:57What can you do so that you are doing something good for yourself?

06:03That was the message for today.

06:07So my tip is: Maybe there are things

06:15you can do and I promise you

06:18you'll feel very doing them.

06:23I hope this was inspiring.

06:27I am curious what you undertake

06:33and finally I would very much like

06:38to thank my first supporters on patreon.

06:43At the time I record this video

06:48I have three supporters. In the future that will

06:53probably be even more and more and more,

06:55but now I have three supporters

06:57and I want to thank them wholeheartedly.

07:00These are Jonathan, Samuel and Michael.

07:06So many, many thanks to you three.

07:11This means a lot to me.

07:15If you like these videos,

07:18I would encourage you to

07:22to make a small contribution.

07:25How much are these videos worth to you?

07:27If you want to do that,

07:33then you simply go to

07:34AuthenticGermanLearning.com/spenden

07:39and then you can

07:44invest a bit into this YouTube channel,

07:47so that it gets better and better

07:50and also so that it continues. Thanks a lot for this

07:55and we'll see each other tomorrow! Bye!

08:00A small request at the end:

08:04Do you sometimes buy at Amazon?

08:08Then it would help me a lot if you

08:11visit the following URL before your purchase:

08:16AuthenticGermanLearning.com/amazon

08:23Then you will be redirected to your Amazon store

08:30and there you can, as always, buy the things

08:35you need and a small percentage of

08:41what Amazon earns accrues to me.

08:44But, the good thing is:

08:47You don't need to pay a penny more!

08:52Isn't that convenient?

08:53You're doing everything as always,

08:55buy as usual on Amazon.

08:58But if you visit the link before

09:01then I - and this project will get

09:06a little support.

09:07AuthenticGermanLearning.com/amazon

09:14Thank you so much! Bye and see you tomorrow!
