Focus on the present moment. This keeps the memory alive.

June has arrived🍀  It's already early summer.  How are you all doing? 

"I'm good. How about you?",  "Can't complain.",  "Surviving.",  "I'm hanging in there.",  "Top of the world!"  or  "I'm doing better. Thanks for asking me."??

I have many goals, but I'm not making as much progress as I'd like. When I focus on one thing, it feels like time passes only for that one thing. Several things are added to the pile each day, but it's not easy to do everything.

What if I did everything as planned, but didn't actually learn how to do it myself? That'd be awful🙀

Improving efficiency is one thing, but that alone may not solve the problem. The thing is, the list of things to study English must be too many for myself, and I'm not sure how to manage it all in one day. Of course, there are other things I want to do besides English.

Flexibly🌠 reduce the number of items to be done each day. Rather than focusing on completing the daily to-do list, let's focus on what I am doing right now. Enjoy it. Otherwise, the pile of things to do afterward will distract me while I'm working on something else. Focus on the present moment.

Studying isn't the only important activity. Relaxing is important, too.

Taking a more leisurely approach and savoring a few things I do would be more beneficial for me than pushing myself to accomplish an ideal, exhaustive number of tasks on my list. I think I would learn more that way. 

I'm going to change my lifestyle a bit. I hope you all have a wonderful life that's right for you.   Rose

Moderate carbohydrate intake is key to losing weight in a healthy way.

We tend to think that cutting out carbohydrates will help us lose weight, but that seems to be a mistake. Cutting out carbohydrates will make you lose weight temporarily, but you will easily gain it back. Of course, eating too little food is no good, either. 

A diet lacking carbohydrates will result in your body producing more TG(triglycerides): neutral fat!!! That is so horrible, especially after all the effort you've put into trying to lose weight🙀💧💧💧

A balanced diet consists of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for most people, and they are essential for promoting fat-burning.

If you eat too little, your body doesn't get enough nutrients and you'll end up losing muscle mass. If you can lose weight by eating a reasonable and well-balanced amount of food, you are definitely happier than gaining neutral fat after enduring a hard time by eating too little or without carbohydrates!

When it comes to fiber, seasonal vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms etc. are a fun way to enrich your everyday diet😌🍀

Eating a diet that is conscious of protein, fiber, and moderate carbohydrates will improve your proportions and make you healthier...happier💕 I am also practicing and realizing this.

May you be kind to yourself in a positive way, Rose

I searched for my blog on ChatGPT and was impressed by the insightful content it produced.

A Google search of my blog, Charmed by Michigan, does not yield any hits. That's a shame...😔

Yesterday, I discovered that someone had come to my blog via ChatGPT. So I gave it a try too. I typed [Charmed by Michigan  blogger] into the ChatGPT search window. Then, surprisingly, ChatGPT presented me with the search results for my blog. My blog got a hit in a search!

My heart was truly delighted by how ChatGPT captured my blog with a thoughtful insight. 

Below is an expanded version of the text.

I was encouraged by the results of ChatGPT. ChatGPT is amazing!

I'm glad I kept the screenshot. I did the same search a few more times after that, but I never got the same results again. Nor did I get any emojis like the ones in the screenshot I uploaded here. 

For Japanese people, here is a reference.

・encounter      (思いがけない)出会い

・introspection  自己観察

・recount        を詳しく述べる、順を追って話す

・spontaneous    自然に起こる、自発的な

・lighthearted   気楽な、愉快な、陽気な

・whimsical      奇抜な、ふざけた

・showcase       を披露する

The ChatGPT results above are screenshots, so the links to the blogs in '✨Blog Highlights' do not work. I've placed each link below. Please take a look if you'd like😉

I just happened to see the insightful content produced by ChatGPT, which documents thoughtful words and analysis about my blog. It encouraged me when I was a little lost in myself. For me, this search result was like a gift. I'd like to save this one search result that I encountered at that moment in time. It will also help me learn more about myself. Surely it was a comfort.　With gratitude, Rose

Making hamburgers with sandwich bread is a fun way to try something new☆

At KUA AINA, you can choose from three types of bread when ordering a hamburger or a sandwich. It is from KAISER ROLL, BRIOCHE, or MULTI-GRAIN WHEAT.

MULTI-GRAIN is sandwich bread (sliced bread)☺　Click here for the menu.👉 KUA AINA MENU

One day, I ordered a burger made with sandwich bread instead of the usual buns.

A regular burger becomes something else when the bun is replaced with sliced sandwich bread!

It's a whole new style of enjoying your burger.

If you are a sandwich lover, I would recommend trying this way of eating once😊

I should limit my gluten intake. However, I still like going to a cafe. So I enjoy sitting back and having a sandwich there every once in a while.  Sandwiches and coffee are my crush💕

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!   Rose
