La Tour Eiffel fermée ?

Le chat et le corbeau
Frileux, le petit chat, regarde tomber la neige. Il n'aime pas l'hiver. Le jardin est tout blanc : pas un oiseau, pas une fleur, même pas une mouche ! Frileux s’ennuie…
Tout à coup, on frappe à la vitre.
Toc, toc, toc, c’est Noireau, le corbeau.
- Je peux entrer ? demande-t-il, j'ai froid et j’ai faim !
Frileux ouvre la fenêtre et Noireau entre dans la cuisine.
- Il ne faut pas avoir peur, rassure Frileux, je ne te mangerai pas. Voici un reste de gâteau et un peu de lait.
- Merci, dit le corbeau. En été, je t'apporterai des vers de terre, c'est délicieux !
- Je préfère les souris, dit Frileux, mais c'est moi qui te remercie. J'étais seul, cela m'a fait plaisir de te voir, reviens demain à la même heure !
Et, depuis ce jour-là, le petit chat et le corbeau sont devenus de grands amis.

大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第6期播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊“焦虑”的话题。
现代生活大家的生活和工作压力都很大，很容易就感到焦虑。每个人的焦虑可能不太一样。学生会因为考试而焦虑，也会因为毕业找工作而焦虑。上班族会因为工作感到焦虑，可能是工作太多、太难，或者是竞争太激烈。父母会因为教育孩子而焦虑，担心孩子的健康、学习等等。  
除了以上这些焦虑，更多新的焦虑也开始出现在我们的生活。例如，“容貌焦虑”。容貌焦虑是指一个人经常觉得自己不够好看，特别是在网上我们经常看到各种美女帅哥。还有“身材焦虑”，一个人对自己的身材不满意，总是觉得可以再瘦一点儿，想要有一个明星那样的好身材。还有一个很常见的“财务焦虑”，也就是大家对金钱的担心。担心自己的收入不稳定，担心自己永远买不了房。
对于各种焦虑，你是怎么解决的呢？我以前也是个很容易焦虑的人，不过现在我越来越放松了。因为发生了两个很大的改变。
第一个改变是，我不去担心未来的事情了。焦虑的时候，我是在为还没有发生的事情担心，我的大脑会一直告诉自己一些很可怕的故事。但是，那都不是真的。现在，我努力去做我想做的事情，但是我不去担心结果了。
第二个改变是，停止和别人的比较。如果我们一直跟别人比较，那不管我们的生活多好，我们都会觉得不满足，因为永远有比我们好的人。所以，不要比较，知道自己想要什么，专注在那里就可以了。
你最大的焦虑是什么呢？你是怎么解决的？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
