In this brief retelling of the fairy tale about Six Brothers under a magical spell and made to live as Swans, we look at a few different kinds of commonly used phrases so that we can understand them in context.

The Six Swans

 As we have known that ‘个gè’ the most general measure word; used for people, round objects, abstract things, such as questions / ideas, etc.

‘只zhī’ is for animal and one of certain pair things; piece or item.

We’ll learn more measure words from a song. Before our reading,  let’s familiar with the number counting as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10
And then upgrade to the unit of count to hundred ‘百bǎi’,  then to  thousand ‘千qiān’,  to ten thousand ‘万wàn’, and a hundred million is ‘亿yì’.

What is a mindset coach and what does he/she help people with?

A life and mindset coach is someone who helps people overcome their mindset blocks, boost their confidence, and gain clarity. 

For example: my coaching client wants to overcome their old, limiting money beliefs. Someone might say things like, “I don’t believe I can earn more money than I already do” or “it’s hard to earn money.” These are hardwired beliefs many of us grow up with - patterns of thoughts that we don't even recognize and are aware of it's influence. 

These kind of thoughts 'push' us in the unwanted direction - where we dislike being BUT we are taking there unconcsiously because we aren't aware of what's going on in our thoughts / beliefs!!!

You help my clients to reprogram their mindset and reframe their thoughts so that they can get past beliefs that are keeping them stuck.
