口說(後來發現沒唸到 for ourselves)
1. We shouldn’t believe everything we think, but take responsibility for ourselves, and actively deal with our problems.

What’s up, VoiceTubers! My name is Ingrid and you’re listening to today’s pronunciation challenge. Life is hard sometimes. We have so much to worry about. Our grades, our family, our relationships, our pets, our plans( [plæn] 計劃), or our plants( [plænt] 植物). We are blessed to have human brain that can do multiple things. We have great memory and the ability to use logic. We can even decide parts of our future using the power of the brain. We have the imagination to wonder about life, about possibilities or about how are spouses(spouse[spaʊz]配偶) might be cheating on us. We can think about so much but that could be our downfall(衰敗). Sometimes we get overwhelmed, your mom is having a health problem, you’re trying to plan your future, your crush is not noticing you, the cactus([ˋkæktəs]仙人掌) on your table is dying. How was it even possible for cactus to die that easily? All those things and a few other things combined and now you are officially a total mess. So how to stop feeling like this?

We shouldn't believe everything we think, but take responsibility for ourselves, and actively deal with our problems.

昨天逛書局的時候又看到我國中開始看的常春藤英語雜誌，又再翻開來看了一下。現在連買光碟都不用，買雜誌刷 QR CODE 就可以聽講解了，果然時代在進步。
陪伴我走過自學英文將近十年的雜誌，還是這排版最對味。

我想往後的十年我還是會繼續看英文雜誌吧，畢竟現在買更便宜，而且出門要上班撕一頁帶出門多方便。

Question of the day: What's been worrying you?
最近有什麼心事或是煩惱呢？如果願意的話就跟大家分享吧！

影片中Meditation (打坐冥想) 可以幫助我們淨化心靈，
其中我們會領悟到下列幾個要素：

# interdependence (n.) 互相依賴
指事情的發生都屬於牽絆的關係，不是一個人就能造成的。

# impermanence (n.) 暫時、無常
世事無常，很難去預測事情的將來的發生。

# compassion (n.) 同情、憐憫
我們在這個世界上並不是都是孤獨的。

We shouldn't believe everything we think, but take responsibility for ourselves, and actively deal with our problems.
我們不應該相信我們所構想的每件事物，而是要為自身負起責任，並且積極地處理問題。

#從練習呼吸的節奏開始，有益身心。
#有聲音分叉的切八段練習，但不想重錄了，噗
We shouldn't believe everything we think, but take responsibility for ourselves, and actively deal with our problems.

覺得瑜珈和深呼吸都很有幫助，能達到平靜和放鬆的感覺，之後就能再繼續面對那些雜事了。

謝謝Ingrid＆大家～
＃慢速～中速～快速～
＃昨天晚上又莫名失眠....嗚嗚嗚
＃卡卡不應該相信自己所構想的等下就會睡著，
而是要為自身負起責任，積極地爬起來寫作業T_T。
