The negative scenarios in our mind

I would like to start the new year with an article about our negative scenarios. I mean these scenarios that our mind brings up and instead to help us preparing for a possible situation, they provoke the opposite result, blocking us from experiencing and learning something new.
I identified until now 4 kind of negative scenarios that, when they have power over us, reduce our ability to feel our bodies. They occupy our attention telling us a story about ourselves that is more connected with the past than with our present. They make harder for us to be aware of ourselves because they create tensions in the body and breath restriction. And they are an attempt to avoid uncertainties and fears. [Weiterlesen]

Self-Confidence 2

In the last article, we started a reflection about our self-confidence and what happen in the body when this self-confidence is lacking and we found ourselves doubting about our competences, opinions and even our being.

This may lead to avoid such situations and hold back and deprive themselves of the freedom to act according with what is in their hearts. Or may lead to try to control the situations and the persons involved.

Synchronicity

Synchronicity is a concept first introduced by Carl G. Jung. It describes „circumstances that appear meaningfully related yet lack a causal connection. In contemporary research, synchronicity experiences refer to one’s subjective experience that coincidences between events in one’s mind and the outside world may be causally unrelated to each other yet have some other unknown connection.“ (1)
Jung also considered synchronicity as an healthy, even necessary, function of the human mind.   [Weiterlesen]

Just start

Just start!
Easy to say but much more complicated to do 😉
Maybe you are familiar with this situation: you are super motivated to start something “new”, and then… you forget about it! Or you find out that the initial motivation has deserted you. You then doubt about the intention you begun with.

After my series of articles focusing on habits, today I would like to look at the first steps we need to make toward changing habits so to take care of ourselves. How to bring ourselves to do the FIRST STEP?     [Weiterlesen]
