はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの16回目です。大阪は今週からだんだん暖かくなっています。来週の予報は、最高気温が10度を超えています。私の実家は東京ですが、大阪は東京に比べると天気がいいです。晴れている日が多いです。寒いと電気代が高くなるので、早く春になってほしいですね。

Hi, This is the podcast episode 16. It has been getting warmer and warmer in Osaka this week. The forecast for next week is for a high of over 10 degrees Celsius. I’m from Tokyo, and the weather in Osaka is much nicer than in Tokyo. It is sunny most days. I hope spring will come soon because the cold weather will make our electricity bill higher.

もうすぐ春なので、最近は引越しをする人が多いです。日本では、3月から4月は学校や会社が始まるシーズンで、学生や新社会人が一人暮らしを始めるからです。私も授業で、生徒さんとよく引越しの話をします。国によって引越しのシステムやプロセスが違うので面白いですね。

It's almost spring, so many people are moving out these days. In Japan, March-April is the season for schools and companies to start, and it's because students and those who just graduated school and became working adults start living alone. In my classes, I often talk about moving with my students. It's interesting because the system and process of moving differs from country to country.

日本で家を借りるときは、ほとんどの場合、不動産業者と契約をします。まず不動産業者のウェブサイトを見て、希望に合う部屋を探します。広さや、駅からの距離や、築年数が書かれています。「築年数」とは、建物の古さのことです。建てられてから１年経ったアパートは、「築１年」といいます。日本では新しいアパートのほうが人気があるので、新しいアパートのほうが値段が高いです。建てられて１年未満で、まだ誰も住んでいない家を「新築」といいます。

When you rent a house in Japan, you almost always sign a contract with a real estate agent. The first thing to do is to look at the real estate agent's website and find a room that fits your needs. You will find the size of the room, the distance from the station, and the age of the building. “Chikunensuu” (the age of the building) refers to how old the building is. An apartment built one year ago is said to be “Chiku 1nen” (1 year old building). In Japan, newer apartments are more popular, so newer apartments are more expensive. A house that has been built for less than a year and no one is living in it yet is called “Shinchiku” (newly built).

Deep and Relaxing Meditation For Reprogramming Limiting Beliefs

Limiting beliefs are deeply ingrained thought patterns or beliefs that hold us back from reaching our full potential and achieving our goals. 

These beliefs are often negative and self-defeating, leading us to doubt ourselves, avoid challenges, and hinder our personal growth and success. Limiting beliefs can manifest in various areas of life, such as relationships, career, health, and personal development.

Self-sabotage: Limiting beliefs create a self-fulfilling prophecy, leading us to engage in behaviors that validate those beliefs. For example, if someone believes they are not good enough to succeed in their career, they might avoid taking on new opportunities or promotions.

Fear and avoidance: These beliefs often instill fear and anxiety, making us avoid situations that challenge our beliefs or might lead to personal growth. As a result, we miss out on valuable experiences and opportunities.

Lack of confidence: When we hold onto limiting beliefs, our self-esteem and confidence suffer. We underestimate our abilities and hesitate to take on challenges, which can hinder progress and success.

Negative mindset: Limiting beliefs create a negative mindset, where we focus on what we can't do rather than what we can achieve. 

Overcoming limiting beliefs is essential for personal growth and achieving success. Here are some steps to challenge and change limiting beliefs:

Awareness: Recognize and identify your limiting beliefs. Understand how they are influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Questioning: Challenge the validity of these beliefs. Look for evidence that supports and contradicts them. Often, you'll find that many limiting beliefs are based on unfounded assumptions.

Reframing: Replace limiting beliefs with empowering and constructive beliefs. Focus on your strengths, accomplishments, and potential.
