Mindfulness Reflections

  I recently watched an " Ask Me Anything!" video and found it very useful. At the same time, one of the most common danger zones for speakers of other languages is precisely the matter of asking questions in English. Nobody wants to feel impertinent, prying (adj. showing too much curiosity about other people's affairs) , or even unintelligent for not knowing something. Problem solved! I'm preparing an "Ask Me Anything!" video for my YouTube channel. Take this is an invitation to practise asking real-life questions that are relevant to you. What are your main issues with English? Is there any aspect of using English in your daily life that you're stuck with right now? Your question(s) can be general and broad ( adj. covering a wide scope of subjects or areas) , or specific and particular to your current situation and needs. Simply comment below 👇 with your question(s) and I'll be answering as many as I can in a video very soon! For some quick revi

  I completed the Inner MBA over the weekend!  Well done, me! ⭐️ But wait! Don't go.

We all try to find ways of reducing our distress when the winds of the world bring devastating storms of suffering to our doorstep. It is our natural instinct to protect ourselves from the pain of the four (unpleasant

Yesterday I watched this very interesting interview with David Byrne, lead singer of the post-punk band I was a big fan of during my teens, "Talking Heads". Have you heard of them? Some of their famous songs include Psycho Killer , and Burning Down the House . Just listen to the sound of that! Would I choose to listen to songs with these titles today? Probably not. But these two tracks in particular really take me back to my youth with their non-sensical lyrics, interesting and catchy - but weird! - beats and sounds. This was back when all we had was MTV and sitting around on friends' sofas watching music videos on TV all weekend (musicians creating music videos for MTV was a brand new thing) was how I'd spend my time, while choosing not to think or worry about things that affected me but I couldn't do anything about (like both my parents being seriously ill with life-threatening, head-related conditions, for example, so the band's name, "Talking Heads&q
