网络上时不时冒出一个性格测试：你是《甄嬛传》里的谁？你会被霍格沃茨的哪个学院录取？还有这两天朋友圈都在分享的人格主导色。我们真的好钟爱性格测试！不过大部分测试仅供娱乐，到底有多大参考价值就见仁见智了。不过，Zane最近发现了权威的16型人格测试，还找来朋友一起亲测，Rita也“现身说法”，到底准不准呢？快来听这一期的Soft Spot~

Which Game of Thrones character are you? Which Hogwarts House do you belong to? What your Zodiac sign says about you? I bet all of us have done these personality tests at some point. We are so obsessed with finding out who we are and our superego. But exactly how helpful these tests are? We don't know. But, we do know there are some professionally recognized tests like MBTI, or the 16 personalities test, that maybe will help us learn more about us. This week, we both did the test. Is it accurate in reflecting our true ego? Find it out in this episode of Soft Spot!

Rita和Zane周末相约参加了精酿酒吧北平机器发起的京津煎饼节，超爱煎饼这一街边小吃的两人边逛边吃，尝试了传统天津石磨绿豆面煎饼、北京网红煎饼姜皇后，还有咖啡、水果、清酒佐餐（未能吃到心心念念的夫妻肺片煎饼是Rita的一大遗憾）。逛吃活动结束后，两人久违地在“车内密谈”，从如何选购双眼皮贴聊到与上司/下属沟通的艺术，些许碎碎念，欢迎大家一起吐槽。

Rita and Zane had a heck lot of fun from last weekend's Jianbing Battle food festival. Organized by Beijing's celebrated brewer Peiping Machine Taphouse, the street food festival drew thousands of foodies to try out a variety of Jianbing, the Chinese take of pancakes. Also presented are local coffee baristas, wineries and Japanese sake bars, and of course, good DJ and music. We were still in food coma as we got into the car and recorded this episode of Soft Spot!

五一假期后的一周，Rita和Zane都经历了“双城记”的反差，在回归繁忙的日常生活后陷入了holiday blues，调节情绪、疲労回复成了这一期两个人探讨的主题。Zane在上海收获了Airbnb初体验，与朋友愉快聚餐，享受了le labo酒吧之夜，但繁忙的日程也让她身体超负荷，开始思考“精力管理”的重要性。Rita的一周则被繁冗的工作充斥，睡眠严重不足，于是决定推掉一切周末计划好好肥宅休息。当我们将休息日变成工作日的延伸，努力塞满日程计划和社交行程时，不如偶尔“放过自己”，认真休息，给休息日应有的尊重吧。

So the holiday blues is real. One week after the May Day Holiday, the girls felt a great sense of melancholy and void. How to manage energy and emotions have become the homework of the week. In Shanghai, Zane had her first Airbnb stay, reunited with her friends and attended a bar night sponsored by Le Labo. But back in Beijing, life appeared so bland and tiring. She had a burnout and started thinking about the importance of "energy management". Rita's week also flew by packed with laboring work stuff and mounting pressure. She decided to give herself a proper rest day and spent the Saturday in bed. We're so used to stack up plans on our weekends and end up turning the rest days into another two workdays. But hey, doing nothing on weekends doesn't mean the waste of time. Rather, it helps you recharge and start afresh. What about giving rest days its due respect!

劳动者的假日，soft spot也给自己放了假。五一假期，Rita和Zane选择了截然相反的休息方式——一个出游重庆，一个快乐肥宅。 3D魔幻城市重庆，这座奇幻城市用麻辣美食、赛博朋克的建筑、文艺电影般的城市风景线征服了初次到访的Rita。Zane则是彻底放松，恶补美剧，将短短的五天假期过出了学生时代暑期的感觉。这一期节目时长感人，槽点满满，欢迎各位收听~

Rita and Zane took a break during the five-day Labor Day holiday and enjoyed themselves in completely different ways. Rita traveled to the 3D magic city of Chongqing, where metro runs through residential buildings, highways zigzag on the Yangtze River and people indulge themselves with spicy hotpots. Zane turned the holiday into a late spring break, skipping sleep and binge watching TV series. We have so much to share after the reunion. Come join us for the Labor Day special episode!

天干物燥的季节，养生成了Rita和Zane这周生活的关键词。Zane这周久违的在牙科诊所有了次不错的洗牙体验，并自此决定好好使用牙线。关注睡眠健康的她还计划重启睡眠记录的课题，好让自己拥有更好的睡眠习惯，也许下次就能赶上早起打卡！Rita一直被肠胃问题所困扰，偶然间发现了一个有味道的App帮助自己记录便便习惯。大家似乎总对解决“大问题”讳莫如深，忽视了便便状况所反映的身体状况。怎么样，你有没有兴趣探索一下这个有味道的小tip？

Spring can be a tricky time with unpredictable weather and problems triggered by seasonal change. To Zane and Rita, how to stay healthy becomes the center topic of this week's episode of Soft Spot. Zane has her teeth cleaned and rediscovered how indispensable dental floss can be. As a night owl who struggles to wake up early, she also decides to try tracking her sleep and readjusting her sleep pattern. Rita is always mindful when it comes to her daily bowel movement. That's why she's thrilled to find out a smartphone app that tracks our toilet habit. Poop alert!

四月过半，春暖花开的季节须臾即逝，大家有没有走出家门感受春天呢？Rita久违的体验了远足爬山的快乐，还重启了每周做买花姑娘的计划；Zane则重新设计了工作空间，用大显示屏增加工作仪式感，爱喝咸柠七的她还分享了轻松在家DIY夏日饮品的小妙招~本周我们再次讨论了自我提升和自爱的重要——不是嗅到玫瑰芬芳的人才能感到幸福，而是内心充满幸福感的人才能闻到玫瑰的芬芳。你同意吗？

How time flies! We are halfway through April. Have you stepped outside and appreciate the beautiful spring? Rita went on hiking this weekend and has resumed her weekly flower subscription. Zane upgraded her workstation with a large-screen display and shared her tips on how to prepare salted lime 7 Up quick and easy. We end on the topic of positive thinking: We all know it's important to stop and smell the roses, but what we often forget is that in order to be able to smell the roses, you need to first have a positive mindset, isn’t it true?

Have you ever experienced social anxiety? Maybe it was going to a party where no body shows any interest talking to you, or that last time when a friend invited you to meet her friends with whom you found nothing in common. Or simply, you just can't turn down any social invitations and find yourself constantly feeling tired in a social setting. In this episode, Rita and Zane shared their experience with social anxiety and discussed how to overcome it. P.S., like always, we've also shared out weekly favorites and latest purchases.

是不是所有人都告诉你要挑战自己、走出舒适区？但我们今天要讲的偏偏是：不要走出舒适区！当你高负荷运转、身体疲惫而不自知时，其实你已经“身心失联”了，你需要停下来，认真地去觉察身体向你发出的细微信号，然后重新调整状态，让身体和内心重回舒适区。值得纪念的第十期，我们希望所有人学会更爱自己。

Are you tired of everyone telling you to get out of your comfort zone? Then you find the right place — when talking about self love, we want you to not to get out of your comfort zone. Nowadays we seem to keep pushing ourselves all the time and even feel guilty to take a breather. But when you’re overloaded, do you know that your body and your heart is disconnected?

In this week’s episode of Soft Spot, we want you to listen to your body, to notice even the slightest discomfort, so that you can reconnect your body with your soul and shower yourself with more love and care.
