Protect Yourself From Energy Vampires
by Judith Orloff MD
(Adapted from Positive Energy: Ten Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear Into Vibrance, Strength, and Love)
The quality of our relationships affects our health. Our relationships are governed by a give and take of energy. Some people, whether coworkers, friends or relatives, make us more electric or at ease. Yet others suck the life right out of us. As a physician and energy specialist I want to verify that energy vampires roam the world sapping our exuberance. With patients and in my workshops I’ve seen their fang marks and the carnage they’ve strewn. But most of us don’t know how to identify and cope with vampires, so we mope around as unwitting casualties, enduring a preventable fatigue.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서 '성격이 밝다'를 직역하면 "My personality is bright"가 되지만, 영어에서 bright는 성격보다는 '똑똑한' 또는 '빛나는'이라는 뜻으로 주로 쓰입니다. 성격이 밝다고 표현하려면 cheerful, outgoing, bubbly 같은 형용사를 사용하세요. 예를 들어 "She has a bubbly personality"처럼 말하면 자연스럽습니다.
