Hi Margaret, do you workout? If so what do you typically do and what do you enjoy the most?

I do a ~30min HIIT/resistance circuit-type workout at home around three times a week.

Pre-pandemic in NY (it’s just remote classes for now), I would usually do Wing Chun sessions with my 师姐, Yvonne, and boxing with Brian (he’s the man).

In Sydney, I’ve been back on tennis lessons twice a week and Pilates with beautiful Jaimie once a week.

hi margaret, how do you cope with stress and always making sure your mental health is not at stake at this difficult point in life with covid and fear of loss of job etc? i’m stressing out with life real bad

I hope you’re feeling positive today!

Stress management is an ongoing process for sure - I find that routine (including sleep/meal timing, manageable exercise that you can do at home, calls with family) helps structure my mind each day, and alleviates a lot of uncertainty. It’s important to remember that some stress and fear is ok - you don’t need to squash it. It’s always better to talk it through with a professional, a trusted friend or family member, or even process out loud by yourself in your room and write it out. Balance that with notes on when you’re feeling really good about yourself, however small it might seem, so you have that to compare your low points with. 

Stay safe and well! Know that so many people are in exactly the same mental space, and there is no one right way for every case.

Does MZ consume Youtube content? If yes, what type of YT content are your faves/you'd recommend? :)

My brother and I have watched too many of Toast et al.’s Among Us stream edits and cringe ATP tennis commentary videos to count. Also regularly cycle through Graham Norton clips (my favourite is this extremely Irish episode), June Xie’s meal challenges, 李子柒 Liziqi’s mountain existence and agadmator’s chess analyses.

Hi Marg, what are your thoughts of smoking weed occasionally for recreational purposes? Have you tried weed or having a space cookie? Heard the positive and negative aspects of it and would really love to know opinion on this. Not sure if this is a sensitive question and can’t be answered, if yes then I apologize in advance!

I’ve never had any drugs/alcohol/etc, so am probably not best-placed to provide any meaningful insight on this one. Many friends in different parts of the world smoke recreationally and/or take other cannabis products for both physical and mental health benefits (ranging in frequency/severity of health conditions they are addressing). They’ve all explored their bodies’ reactions to different forms and are clear on their limits, or what format they enjoy in what environment. As with all new things, it’s most important that you’re trying it on your own terms, that you’re among trusted friends in a safe space, and that you are clear on where the product has come from.

【MOON WORSHIP】pt 1/2。Last week marked Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋节 — the fifteenth day of the eight month of our Lunar calendar, when the moon is at its brightest and roundest, and we give thanks for family and food on the table (physically manifest in mooncakes 月饼 🥮🥮🥮 — smooshy pastries filled with lotus or red bean paste — shared with family and friends). This is my first year making mooncakes sans Mama 章 Zhang’s tutelage — pictured is Batch Four after three rounds of exploded ones… 朋友们，中秋快乐！Call your mum and tell her you love her and you miss her cooking, y’all 🌝🍁

Tiny tastes of my birthland after two weeks in a quarantine hotel, finally able to squeeze my family again, finally able to breathe outside of the dumpster fire that is the USA.
