Why you can’t articulate like you think

I wish we were taught this kind of knowledge before we were forced to make oral presentations in class, as children.

Being taught to articulate what you mean properly should be a vital lesson for everyone to learn.

Journalling has helped me tremendously with articulating my thoughts. It's essentially self-expression practice. When you take the time to articulate your thoughts and emotions beforehand, you can speak about them confidently later. I highly suggest it to anybody trying to get to know themselves (everybody).

No ad break and gets straight to the point with zero filler. Exactly what an educational video should be!

My brain is rotten from media and tiktok / dopamine. I can tell that in the past few years I am unable to formulate thought in the same way that I used to.

Best lesson I've learned is being comfortable with silence so you can take time with your words.

00:00 📚 Understanding Connotation - Connotation refers to the multitude of experiences, emotions, associations, memories, and meanings behind words. - Language doesn't fully capture our 4D thoughts; it's a 1D representation. - Two actions to communicate more connotation: avoiding Blue Sky language and using emotional bridging. 05:07 🖋️ Articulating Your Thoughts - Frustration in articulation often occurs when we have a clear thought but struggle with the verbal expression. - Whisper drafting, a technique from Teddy Roosevelt, helps create rough drafts of sentences before speaking. - Requesting more time to think before responding can improve clarity. 08:02 💡 Cognitive Priming for Precision - Cognitive priming is a technique to make your speech more intentional and precise. - It breaks the automated back-and-forth of conversations and keeps both parties engaged. - Accountability for your words increases, leading to more careful and thoughtful spee

My problem is that my mind goes blank when trying to articulate my thoughts. I can still picture it, but I end up forgetting even simple words (I know the word I want to use, but it eludes me). And then for some reason, I am unable to pick out a similar word that could sort of describe what I’m trying say. Kind of like an infection spreading throughout my vocabulary.

What i love the most about this video is how little filler there is in it. You jump into the first point in less than 10 seconds which is so nice to see

I’m in process of learning English. My level isn’t as high as l would prefer to express my deep thoughts, but your knowledge helps me grow every time I watch. So, with all gratitude 🙏

I love your style! No meaningless intros or outros, straight to the point.

Imagine two Joseph Tsars having a conversation with one another.

Honestly while this video is pitched for articulation, a lot of this information I also found useful from a storytelling perspective, especially the cognitive priming tip. You've earned a new sub for sure!

Most of the times when I am supposed to express important thoughts I struggle with thinking about the correct words that will engage with the listener emotionally and influence action because there is limited time to process most especially in a group discussion. My favorite gem from this video is the whispering because I feel like it will help me understand my counterparts position in the discussion whilst forming my opinion with in the most accurate wording. Thanks for sharing bro, you are a blessing to this generations oratory community.

This is why we need to be telepathic

I never had problems with public speaking or explaining others or comforting others but the one thing is that I could never express was my mind and thoughts (in words), if i was in discomfort. I always would be just speechless or tell about my problems in breaks which frustrated me even more .Your video totally understood my problem and thanks for helping me out!!!

Omg your thumbnail - its incredible. After watching all your videos I’ll be able to proficiently express how impactful sharing your knowledge has been for me … This information is lighting up my soul and igniting so many answers to so many of the questions I have had. In sincere gratitude and adoration. ❤

I recently found out I’m autistic at 40. I love my job but I’m having communication problems. Videos like this will help me and others like me a lot. Thank you.

Love how you're doing exactly what you're talking about in this video

I mainly clicked on your video because I have seen it (and the other recent video) on my home page and I loved the way you were able to visualize these problems in your thumbnails. Really clever and attention-grabbing. And now that my urge to compliment those thumbnails has brought me here, the content of the video itself has convinced me to subscribe. You are playing the youtube-game well.
