英语悠选脱口秀 第128期:太忙了也要照顾好自己

 讲解

Today's key word is Busy

Busy b-u-s-y

忙碌的

When you are busy, you are working hard or concentrating on a task, so that you are not free to do anything else.

Here is an example:

We've been crazy busy learning new things in our daily work. So we haven't had time to update ayoenglish in the last 10 days.

我们都在十分忙碌的学习一些新的知识和技能。所以在过去的十几天都没有更新英语悠选。

Talking about this, I have to say thank you to all of our listeners who were waiting for us and those who are always supporting us. Thank you so much!

是一篇的微信留言，洪宇童鞋要求我们聊一聊我们最近到底在忙什么？还说要帮忙，谢谢你，thank you dear.所以，这期我们就来聊一聊 “忙忙忙，到底在忙什么？”

I bet most of you guys know that the answer to “How are you?” is “Fine, thank you”.But in recent years, there are more and more people using “busy” as the answer to this question! Like me and SJ.

I was busy dealing¹ with my routine(常规) work as a radio host. At the same time, I am preparing to move to a new apartment. 超级紧张又忙碌的日常工作，加上搬家要处理的一大堆事情。I really hope there are two yoyos.

但是，你以为这就完事了吗？

NO NO NO，I am also preparing for some exams.工作之余还要努力学习，好好考试。但是，为了能为大家作出更好的节目，这都是值得的。（掌声在哪里？）

And I am not the only one who is crazy busy recently. SJ is also insanely busy.

She just transferred to a new department. There are loads of new things to learn and new work to do.

She works overtime² almost every day. She just had a business trip to Shenzhen and will soon make another business trip to Xinjiang.

BUT 诶 BUT来了！忙不要紧，但是心情不能差！So how do we deal with this crazy busy life? Here are some tips. We hope these tips can also help you to cope with your busy daily life.

1. Stop Talking About Being Busy 别人问你-最近怎么样啊？

Instead of telling people that you're busy, try talking about what you're actually doing.

For example, “I'm doing well! I just got a job and it's exciting!”

Do not insist that you're busy, and it will actually make you feel less busy.自我暗示，我不忙我不忙，一切都在掌控中！

2. Stop Multi-tasking During Leisure Time 其实，我们休息的时间还是超级超级多的。

BUT we've become accustomed to multi-tasking during that time.比如，meal planning while we watch television, checking our email while we're out to dinner, watching funny videos while we're chatting with friends.

要记住，休息的时候就好好休息，无时无刻Multi-tasking的话，大脑很难得到休息啊。

3. Rethink Your Definition of Self-Care When we think of self-care, we often focus on our physical well-being³: getting a massage⁴, exercising, taking care of our skin.身体上的保养当然重要，但是（今天说了好多但是）

但是，精神健康也不容忽视。大家感觉抑郁的时候，一定要找到一个适合自己的方式发泄出来。比如，给我们留言，在群里跟大家聊天。嘻嘻

你有没有什么应对忙碌工作的秘法啊？Talk to you next time!
