是不是活的够久，就一定会对玄学/形而上学（metaphysics）感兴趣呢？我想是的哈哈。我的听友们不仅很可爱，还有老灵魂呢（just like me haha）.Enjoy still!
On this October Rainy day, finally felt the right energy to answer these questions.Feeling down, feeling small.These energies are shared by all humans.Thank y'all for trusting me and sharing with me your feelings and emotions.Hope that my answers provide you with warmth and courage.
I've been meaning to make a meditation audio for a while.Upon your request, 就先做了这个晚安冥想。Good night and have the best sleep!For best listening experience大家可以下载音频然后在音响上播放（因为背景的一些鸟叫声耳机上可能会更明显一些）。
嘿呀，又来搞一个Ask me anything 吧！大家在评论区提问即可！~也可以留言啦你想跟我说的都可以留言嘻嘻：）
Language. The tool we use on a daily basis, so familiar with it that we forget to look at different aspects of it. Therefore, sometimes we fall prey to the dark side of it, sad enough, huh?So pls join me in this episode and see what we should know before we more skilfully use this tool. This is a long episode, enjoy still and don't forget to leave me comments ：）
As years go by, I actually have developed a keen interest in Chinese culture and philosophies. 可能就是作为中国人的血脉觉醒？总之，for lots of our modern problems, 中华智慧有答案。 See for yourself.
Some reflections upon the coming of the new year. The spirit is, no matter what happens--good or bad, the game of life goes on. Choose the perspective of abundance, and choose the action that will make the infinite game meaningful and fulfilling. Happy new year y'all!
众生皆苦。Thus, it does not make sense for us to seek for total avoidance of pain;instead, when pain inevitably hits, we should first try to find peace with it, and then see if we can learn anything from it and come out of it being even stronger and mentally tougher. On the other hand, if we have not yet developed any constructive perception towards it, we might wallow in the pain and get drowned in the bitter sea of our own making.Choose.
一阵秋风，一曲浪漫，就有了这集的灵感。 With years coming by actually the concept of romance for me is more and more dissociated from the idea of having a partner. It's more like a state of being, a form of vibe, something that you don't encounter, but create. 聊了聊发现自己心目中的浪漫貌似非常接近self-care, 啊！such a revelation, and such a relief. 听得好的课代表还是在评论区整理7件浪漫之事吧，mua!Leave me comments!
最近玫瑰的故事很火，我也看了这部剧。其中玫瑰在第一段和第二段感情中，自己的情绪反应并不被看见，更不被理解。深深共情了她，然后就有了这集。稍微聊了下社会中女性的困境，同时这何尝又不折射出一些男性的困境呢(in a different way though).p.s. 录这集的时候在喝酒，如有口齿不清请见谅嘿嘿（and I'm not sorry about it）
I am far from a movie maniac, but these years I have formed my own taste on movies, too, kind of fortunate that I have met a handful of masterpieces(in my mind) to somehow resonate with me or even to clear my doubt.Kudos to those who still insist on producing high-quality films with their heart and soul.
Dopamine, endorphin, serotonin, oxytocin. May you have a great relationship with them :)
Hi there everyone~Another year is passing by and now looking ahead, I'm pretty sure we all hold nice, wonderful wishes for the year to come.But watch out, we might make the new year resolutions the wrong way--not that it matters, in fact you'll be fine even if those resolutions never come true--but I mean, if you are serious with the result, you might as well consider things other than the behavior itself, because our behaviors are oftentimes not determined by our willpower, but by our systems and our physical and mental health.
This is a very long long long episode, really testing out your patience!But hopefully you guys can enjoy it still.Leave me comments if you guys have further questions! Mua！
Thanks. For your company, for your support, for all your love.
The new year has come, and even though in fact the first days in 2023 scientifically should be no different from the last days of 2022, still, humans just have the instinct(or it's an implanted belief?) that a new year automatically ushers in something new.That is why we usually make new-year resolutions. But according to experience, we will quickly meet some difficulties and the feeling of failure, anxiety, helplessness will creep back.So here in this episode, I've put in three mantras to hopefully help you guys achieve a calmer state of mind and therefore to have a happy and successful year ahead of you.Much love from Niki.
Trips! The best. With covid policies getting lifted, I'm sure the tourism industry will bounce back, and we deserve to have some fun!I'm lucky enough to be taking a trip already and I feel like instead of feeling intense even during trips, the better way to go is to CREATE your trip, not to copy someone else's.
Whereas I am a firm believer of love, it's just so difficult to put it into language and describe it in vivid details like you can with what's on your plate for dinner this evening. I can just throw the word "love", and then trust your sense on this word so that you can understand and hopefully absorb what I am trying to deliver in this episode. See for yourself.
For our entire life we've been striving to get smart,yet we probably have never realized that being smart in too many aspects of our life can secretly steal away our happiness.So now if you have realized this after this episode, congratulations, cuz you now can practice being "stupid", stupidly believing sth. that probably is not true, stupidly looking at the bright side and using a positive narrative to tell the story.Protect your energy. Key to happiness.
We are blessed with the access to a sea of information;yet too little of such information is treated seriously by us and internalized as part of who we are. Next time when you come across a good mantra, a good book, etc., don't just flip through it unconcernedly. Revisit it. Repeat it, until you have fully understood and absorbed the goodness in it.
The art of letting go, emptiness, or sometimes nothingness. If you think about it, there is a Buddhism touch to it, isn’t there? The idea is that, if you hold on to an emotion, or a belief too tightly, you yourself are basically like a full room, or a solid fortress, that does not allow anything to go inside of you, not to mention to change you in a way that might potentially benefit you.
The external world is as exciting and fascinating as it is, so much so that we oftentimes forget to look inside us, where there is a world no less splendid than a high mountain, or a double rainbow after a summer thundershower. One of the most important ways of getting to know ourselves is to analyse our emotions--not those ones on the superficial level, but on the deep, more fundamental level. You'd be surprised how much more you have discovered about yourself. Have fun on this journey! :)
I have changed my life a little bit by changing my mind a little bit.Like, back when I thought that I was a bad driver, I would be scared of driving, and then I manifested the fact that I had poor driving skills.But now when I learn to tell myself another story that driving is just easy and natural, I seem to have gotten rid of the tension that I had built around driving. And now I'm a better driver. Yes, we always have the ability to create our ideal life, just follow the two-step suggestion in this episode!
I'm pretty sure my blood pressure surged when I saw the footage of the low-life moving garbage trying to beat the girls to death in the barbecue restaurant.I’d like to say, I hope these assholes unwell, I hope that they are put into prison as soon as possible for as long as possible, I hope that they get beaten up by other fellow prisoners just for fun, all day, every day.
This episode is nothing serious, just me babbling about things, haha. But hope you can enjoy still, being fully relaxed. Lots of love, mua :D
The inspiration of this episode came from a dear listener, who is trying to start a project but has chickened out due to "a lack of confidence".She then reached out to me and asked me to give her a few tips to build her confidence, without which, she believes, she could not pull off her project. In other words, she thinks that confidence leads to action and success.But no--you always take actions first, and after some small wins, confidence naturally comes along.Just get things done. JUST GET THINGS DONE.
Cyndi Wong, a singer and actress from Taiwan, China, is now making a comeback. After her performance on Sisters Who Make Waves, she is now seeing a resurgence in popularity in mainland China, probably to her own surprise. I'm nowhere near a fan of hers, but this phenomenon caught my attention. Everyone seems to be talking about her, but I think this has more to do with ourselves than with her, in fact. Some of us have a nostalgic feeling; some feel entertained, and some are learning facts here and there. Everybody gets what they want, that's for the best.
I love how different people are. Some are extroverts, who thrive in social activities and might make the life of a party.Some are introverts, who prefers spending time alone to staying in the crowd. Remember, they are just different; don't reinforce the stigma that extroversion is a superior personality to introversion. If you are shy or not skilled in communication, don't scapegoat introversion; practice to improve your skills instead.
The other day I watched the conversation between Elon Musk and Lex Fridman, and I simply cannot rid myself of the scene when Elon said, "source of strength... well, it's just not how I think of things, I don't need a source of strength". And then here we've got this episode. Enjoy still!
