How does Yoga help me to have more self-love? Through self-acceptance.
⠀
In the beginning, there is a craving for magic formulas to remedy your pain. Unable to heal herself, she casts the healer out. It is natural that for a long time the eyes are still turned outwards and any attempt to define yourself starts from a comparison with something external to you. It's tiring to live belittling yourself all the time, isn't it?
⠀
The essence of Yoga is the attentive, observant and receptive look for everything that emerges in sensations, thoughts, emotions and movements, and it is the constant exercise of this gaze that strengthens in itself, before any intimate transformation, a process of rediscovering oneself. What am, am, feel or think all the time and I don't notice? Realizing that there is a vast world of “new” information to be appreciated is a beautifully grandiose thing for a person.
⠀
This attitude of openness to self-observation is, in itself, a way of welcoming and practicing self-acceptance. The honest quest to see what was previously invisible to your conscious eyes is also a permission you give yourself to be yourself. Every meaningful transformation and transmutation of life is preceded by an acceptance of who you are now.
⠀
Your ups and downs, joys and sorrows, qualities and defects, virtues and shadows, truths and omissions, are the scribbles of your story, ink on the sheet forming the paragraphs of your life and each letter or comma make up something of rich meaning for those you is today. Self-acceptance is not about being passive about your issues, but about not reacting in a denial or reactive way with yourself, and then evolving from what is seen.
⠀
Promise if you accept more this week? ☕️ good morning and beautiful week 💫

The Internet is such a crazy world!

Absolutely fun time meeting these fabulous people in real life! Also did my very official first gig here in NYC with @sueskeez

Amazed by how receptive and open minded the audience were especially when I performed original tune that they probably have never heard.

Thanks @emmalineofficial for having me for the night!🤟🏻and friends who came to support! 🔥

[FREE TRIAL CLASS FOR YOUR CHILD!]

Online learning has definitely accelerated tremendously in the past 1.5 years, and a huge part of that has been due to COVID-19. So yes, virtual lessons are here to stay… and I actually find that younger kids are generally more receptive to them, no? Especially if they come in the form of EDOOVO, an interactive real-time online learning platform for kids aged 3 to 8 years old. Well, I don’t have young kids at home anymore so I got my nephew and niece to try out their virtual Chinese & Math lessons. Long story short, they LOVED it. Read more about their experience in my post, and find out how you can score a FREE trial class for your child!

Healthy glowing skin makes you stand out from the crowd. Maintaining our skin both internally and externally is crucial for healthy looking skin. That’s why a balanced diet is important. We may also exfoliate our skin to enhance our beautiful skin! Exfoliating your skin helps you get rid of the dead skin cells that are sitting on the surface and as a result it leaves your skin looking more radiant. After exfoliation your skin is more open and receptive to the nutritious serums and creams that you apply on as well. Massaging and exfoliating our skin also helps with blood circulation, again another enhancer for healthy looking skin. Do this about 2-3 times a week for glowing skin. I especially like to do this before an event. Nice skin is the best makeup or accessory you can wear!

Check out the video for simple nourishing D.I.Y scrubs you can make right at your own home!

一堂課，差不多就是教7-9個單字
是學習的甜蜜點sweet spot


每個語言學習者的心中都有自己的單字「舒適圈」
也就是productive vocabulary（活用字）
那些你能夠靈活運用的單字
都在你的舒適圈，像是：
office/parents/boss/colleague
classmate/take a shower


至於你背過
卻不會出現在你的口說或寫作裡的字
也稱receptive vocabulary（認知字）
就是你的單字「成長圈」，像是：
afflict折磨/impeach彈劾


多數人的「單字成長圈」遠遠大過自己的「舒適圈」
不過要擴張「單字成長圈」也沒那麼難
經常搭配在一起的就可以一起記（collocation）
同時出現的頻率也比較高
這就是這一集要告訴你的事


學單字的方法有非常非常多！
絕對不要只學「一個字」
也不要貪心想要「一次到位」
從今天開始，走出你的單字舒適圈
It's important to learn words in context!
