01 白雪放假啦！Báixuě fàng jià la! Baixue is on holiday!

今天，白雪告诉我，下个星期她有七天的假期，这是她的年假。她跟我分享了她的计划。

放假的时候，她一点儿也不想待在家里。因为她非常喜欢运动，所以她打算下个星期每天都去锻炼锻炼。她觉得工作日的时候，每天待在办公室八九个小时，需要坐在电脑前面很长时间。如果不运动，身体会慢慢变得不健康。

星期一早上她打算去公园跑步；
星期二她可能去游泳；
星期三她和朋友们去打篮球；
星期四她想去小河边骑自行车；
星期五她会去爬山。
星期六她不出门儿，她得打扫一下儿她的家，然后喝喝咖啡看看书，好好儿休息一下儿。

她问我星期天有没有空，她想和我一起去买衣服，吃饭和看电影。我高兴地答应了！真希望星期天快点儿来呀！

Why seeing yourself negatively compared to others in a job interview process?

If we can relate this 'perception' way to your job interview process - how will you sell yourself effectively?

We’ve all been there – scrolling through social media, seeing picture-perfect lives, and feeling a pang of envy. It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others, but it’s a habit that rarely leads to anything positive. So, why should you stop measuring yourself against others?

When you constantly compare yourself to others, you focus on what you lack rather than appreciating what you have. Imagine being a boss and inteviewing you with this 'perception model'. Would you hire you?

Of course not, this type of world's view can lead to a sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, preventing you from enjoying the present moment and all the good things in your life. The only time we have is NOW, if comparing ourself to others takes away our NOW - what is the point of living? :)

In the podcast I am sharing some ideas that will help you break free from this habit - turning you into success magnet because you've decided to 'craft' new reality.

Dive into it now and if you want to learn to trust your senses more and get more relaxed on consistent basis - listen to my "Grounding & Centering Exercice" - it's a meditation practice to allow you to tap into the NOW and feel more bliss and hapiness.

Job Interview Preparation | Build Strong Communication Under Pressure

Why seeing yourself negatively compared to others in a job interview process_

People who travel a lot will know the feeling — you've just landed in a country on the other side of the world, ready to explore and see the sights, but you're too tired to do anything!

Jet lag is usually linked with travel and changing time zones. But a new study has found that even small changes to our daily schedules can change our sleeping patterns.

And it's not just sleep that gets affected by a disrupted schedule — our bodies work differently when our daily patterns change.

The study, published in iScience, looked at how our bodies respond to a five-hour time change — similar to the kind of jet lag you'd feel after traveling from New York to London, for example.

It looked at people's circadian rhythm — our body's natural clock that controls when we sleep, when different hormones are released, and how our bodies use energy.

During the study, scientists observed 14 people in a lab for eight days.

On the first two days, the participants followed their normal daily schedules. But from the third day, the participants' meals, sleep and light exposure were changed to five hours later than normal.

The researchers tested the participants' blood and checked their digestion, energy use, and levels of melatonin — a hormone that helps control sleep by making you feel tired when it gets dark — to see how their bodies reacted to the time change.

The results showed that the five-hour time change made digestion slower, changed blood sugar levels, and affected how the body used fat. The body also burned less energy from food.

These things started to go back to normal after two or three days as the body adjusted to the new schedule.

One of the study's researchers, Jonathan Johnston, told StudyFinds this shows how sticking to a regular schedule can make a big difference to our health.
