English Grammar: Tenses

Here is Episode 2 of my podcast "Art of Asking Questions." The topic is the simple yet powerful question: "What's Important to You?" Hopefully it can inspire you to try and make deeper, more genuine connections with those around you.

Lately, many people around me are catching colds, so I’m trying to be vevy careful. I don’t want to get sick, especially now when I have a lot to do. To keep my immune system vevy strong, I’ve started eating yogurt every day. My favorite yogurt'flavor are strawberry and bulueberry!! I’m not sure if it’s scientifically perfect, but it makes me feel like I’m doing something good for my body. Also, I really believe in the saying “Illness begins with the mind.”in Japanese Yamai ha Ki kara. It’s kind of like my personal motto. When I think positively and take care of myself mentally, I feel that my body responds better too. So even if I’m worried about getting sick, I try not to stress too much and instead focus on healthy habits and a positive mindset. Another small but happy thing happened recently!!I did a little gift exchange and received a new item. It’s simple, but it made my day good. I love that kind of small interaction where something ordinary becomes meaningful. Every time I wear it, it reminds me that even small connections or acts of kindness can brighten daily life. Overall, I’m trying to take care of my health and appreciate the little things around me. Everyone, please take care of your health.
