Hello Reader, I had a few people reach out to say they were struggling with burn out, so I know this is a hot topic. And if you are dealing with it right now, know that you're not alone. I've continued to research on the topic - I think it might turn into a podcast episode - but here's one take away from today's learning that I hope will help you: If you're struggling with burnout, give your spouse, your significant other, your child, a friend - someone you trust and care about - a good hug. Sound silly? Turns out a good hug goes a long way towards helping you fight burnout. This is mentioned at the 19:41 mark of this video: ER Doctor Teaches How to Overcome Burnout from a Body-Based Perspective w Dr. Laura Hays, MD I challenge you to listen to it all! Over to you: Did you try the hug method? I did. It helped! :) Well, that's it for today! Thank you for reading, and have a great, and calming week. Aaron |

Hello Reader, It can feel impossible to improve your speaking and vocabulary skills in English sometimes, can't it? Like no matter how hard you try, you stay stuck (or feel like you do) at the same place, with you using the same words and expressions you're always using. Is there any way out of this? Good news: Feeling stuck like this is normal. It happens to everyone. (And if anyone tells you they've never felt stuck like this before, they are lying my friend.) Getting stuck is normal....
Hello Reader, Would you like a workout for your ears? If AI Is A Bubble, What Happens When it Pops? You might enjoy this podcast episode that I listened to this week. Why I think you might like it? Everyone seems to be talking about AI or using it these days. But few people are talking about how it's all being paid for. (Or not!?) This podcast from CBC's Frontburner, will likely surprise you. Bonus: if you'd like to practice listening to financial info, like huge numbers for example, this...
