Привет! 😁 Читаю очередную статью о важности баланса, гармонии в нашей жизни. Мне кажется, тема интересная! 
Сейчас мир как будто сходит с ума. 🤯 Все куда-то спешат. 🏃‍♀️🏃
Нужно быть лучше, богаче, успешнее, много работать, учиться, заниматься спортом, качественно отдыхать и, конечно же,  общаться с близкими, родными, друзьями. 
Все мы разные. Есть, например, люди-трудоголики, которые живут работой и не находят ни на что больше времени. ⏳️ 
И тут я задумалась, есть ли в моей жизни баланс.🤔🙃 
Вот в статье пишут, что всего выделяют 6 сфер: 
1. Семья и дом 
2. Финансы и карьера 💶
3. Саморазвитие и образование 📚
4. Тело и здоровье 🤸‍♀️ 
5. Общество и культура 🗣
6. Духовное развитие и этика. 🤠
А как ты думаешь, твоя жизнь гармонична? 

Ты со мной? 

Баланс 

This is a 3-minute bilingual podcast specially designed for YCT Level 1 Chinese beginners. Based on the food & drink themed teaching courseware, our two hosts — Jason (native Chinese speaker) and Luna (native English speaker) — have a casual chat about tiny but fascinating cultural differences between China and Western countries:
Why do Chinese people love drinking hot water while Westerners prefer cold water?
Why do Chinese families often ask "what do you want to eat?" every day?
How do we feed our pets differently?
In this relaxing talk, you can not only learn basic daily Chinese words and sentences naturally, but also pick up interesting cross-cultural tips to better understand Chinese daily life.
