"فن اللامبالاة" هو أسلوبُ حَيَاةٍ يُشجع على التركيز على الأمور المهمة حقًا في الحياة وتجاهل التفاصيل التي لا تُضيف قيمة حقيقية.
يسعى هذا الفن إلى التخلص من القلق والتوتر الناجمين عن محاولة إرضاء الجميع أو السعي نحو الكمال.
يعتمد فن اللامبالاة على فكرة تقبل الحياة بما فيها من تحديات وصعوبات والتركيز على ما يمكن تغييره وتحسينه.
يعتبر هذا الفن وسيلة لتعزيز الصحة النفسية من خلال تقليل الضغوطات الاجتماعية والشخصية.
يشجع على فهم أن السعادة والرضا يأتيان من الداخل وليس من المحاولات المستمرة لتحقيق توقعات الآخرين.
يُسَاهِمُ في بناء شخصية قوية ومستقلة وقادرة على اتخاذ قرارات صائبة بناءً على القيم والأولويات الفردية.

The Art of not caring" is a lifestyle that encourages focus on the important things in life and ignoring the details that do not add real value.
This art helps you get rid of anxiety and stress caused by trying to satisfy people or seeking towards perfection.
The Art of not caring relies on the idea that you accept life with all its challenges and difficulties and focus on the things that can be changed and improved.
This art is considered a means to strengthen mental health by reducing social and personal stresses.
It also encourages the understanding that happiness and satisfaction come from within and not from constantly trying to meet other people's expectations.
It contributes to building a strong, independent personality capable of making sound decisions.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【跷二郎腿】的话题。
跷二郎腿，就是坐下来的时候一条腿跷起来放到另外一条腿上面。那么，为什么叫“二郎腿”呢？古代传说里面有一个人物叫做“二郎神”，一些地方的庙里面有二郎神像。二郎神的坐姿就是这样子，所以把这种坐姿叫做“跷二郎腿”。很多人都有跷二郎腿的习惯，这是为什么呢？跷二郎腿好不好呢？我们来听一下吧。
翘二郎腿是很多人都有的习惯。当坐下放松的时候，腿不自觉就翘了起来。这是为什么呢？爱翘二郎腿，不能简单粗暴地用某个科学发现来解释。不过它和身体舒服感、心理状态、习惯等都有一定关系。其实翘二郎腿和葛优瘫一样，是身体本能追求舒服姿势的表现。人是一种喜欢折腾的动物，喜欢不断变换姿势来维持肌肉的张力。翘二郎腿时能放松一条腿的肌肉群，并让腿部和足底肌肉更轻松一点。当人们坐下时，翘二郎腿可以调节中心，感觉做坐起来更稳当。另一方面，跷二郎腿能防女人走光，让男人看上去更有范。夏天穿短裙的女性坐下来后，跷二郎腿的姿势可以有效地防止走光。而颜值高的男性坐下来跷二郎腿，也会显得更有魅力。
但经常跷二郎腿其实会影响到健康，让我们腰酸背痛，并会带来脊柱侧弯的风险。翘二郎腿时，人们难免会将重心偏向一侧，导致盆骨旋转和髋关节紧张。时间一长肌肉力量不平衡，就会带来体态改变等问题。
有谣传说，二郎腿翘多会影响到生殖健康，提早出现退化性关节炎，变成o型腿，导致静脉曲张，高血压。小姐姐在这里郑重地辟谣，这其实并不是翘二郎腿会带来的危害。
那如何翘二郎腿才是正确的，危害小的呢？那就是不要长时间一直翘，翘起来腿麻了都不管不顾，直到天荒地老。腿麻了就换换腿
翘，时间久了就站起来活动活动。毕竟久坐也不利于身体健康。除此之外，只要你自己感受是舒适的，想怎么翘就可以这么翘。
