Emotions in Harmony episodes

  • How to Use Your Time Wisely

    We currently live in an era where technology is evolving rapidly, we now have the pressure of feeling like we should check what is going on with our friends and in the world almost every minute, but the reality is that we do not have the time or energy to take all that information in at the same time.

    On many occasions, these events that distract us, such as television with its series and news, the telephone with its social networks, and sometimes even people, separate us from our goals and desires. Today, focusing on our goals has perhaps become a little more difficult given all the obstacles that lie ahead, but it is still essential to succeed in life.

    Being able to focus is an important skill that allows us to be present on the path that we must take to achieve our goals, regardless of all the factors that may distract us from them. If we are undisciplined at the beginning, it can take a lot of work not to lose our way. A solution to this is to set small goals that lead us to the main one, hand in hand with motivation or a reward system that allows us to have a moment of rest, but at the same time feel the satisfaction of having achieved a step and being rewarded for it.

    Concentration is a very powerful tool that can be associated with the law of attraction, since whenever a thought is present, our brain and our energies will revolve around it until it is fulfilled, for this same reason, we can see that when a person focus on a problem that can have a hard time getting out of it, instead of looking at possible solutions and focusing on them.

    There is a range of solutions to open our minds and achieve the focus we need in life to achieve what we want. If you want to know those barriers that we unconsciously place ourselves and how to learn to focus, then this is the episode for you!

  • How to be Your Own Best Friend

    The phrase "to love someone else, you must first love yourself" is a very popular and truthful one. Love and friendship are very important factors for human beings, sometimes feeling part of something becomes an instinct, and we are looking for communities with which to identify ourselves or people who share our own interests so we can finally, develop a friendship or even a romance. However, it is also true that a vast majority of people have experienced disappointments regarding friendships and from then on they are afraid of making new friends.

    However, despite the circumstances and people around us, you should know that there will always be a friendship that is for life and that is willing to not fail you, that friendship is the one we have with ourselves. We always try to be good friends with each other, but how good are you to yourself?

    A friend is there to celebrate your triumphs, but at the same time to support and advise you in failures, the fact that you can count on your own friendship allows you to be understanding with yourself, it allows us to give ourselves the space to be with our own ourselves and be reflective about our actions. When we work on our own friendship we can acquire self-confidence and start feeling proud of ourselves, knowing that we are capable of achieving whatever we put our mind into.

    By doing our internal work, creating a healthy relationship, and enjoy our own company, we are working on getting the best version of ourselves, which will lead to many positive things for us.

  • How to Feel Capable

    Often we find ourselves in situations where we want to do things or make decisions, but we run into uncertainty and fear of taking action and not taking action. This has to do with the lack of self-confidence we have, where sometimes an external motivation is required to achieve what we want.

    Confidence in ourselves makes us feel like we are capable of achieving whatever we set our mind to. To be able to feel capable of doing something is a thing that develops from our childhood to adulthood. When we set a goal and go after it, we gain confidence and believe in ourselves until we reach the point where we do not doubt it and simply carry out the plans.

    But... What happens when we do not feel capable of achieving what we set out to do? We don't take action due to a self-perception issue, we unconsciously think that we are going to fail, and in a series of negative thoughts that perhaps many times are also fed by other people until finally, we program ourselves to think that we really cannot carry out a certain activity.

    If sometimes you feel like you are not capable of achieving your goals, and you want to learn and develop skills and generate self-confidence to improve your life, then this episode is for you!

  • Feeling Proud of your Achievements

    Sometimes we come across situations in which we question the things we have achieved, for example when we go to a job interview, and they ask us questions such as "Tell me 5 positive things about yourself" or "Tell me about the great things you have achieved", that's when we may notice that perhaps it can be easier for us to identify our defects than to identify our virtues or mention the achievements we have obtained in lives. And this is not necessarily because of a matter of sorrow or forgetfulness but because we usually don't have in mind the meritorious things we have achieved, and sometimes we don't even feel pride for the good things that we've done. Having our achievements in mind and feeling happy about them is key to maintain our self-esteem at a healthy level since those are a fundamental part of what defines us as a person.

    Personal achievements can have different meanings for each person and do not necessarily have to be material, such as buying a house after a lot of effort or pay for your children's university, apart from these very pleasant things, an achievement can also be something intangible to the sense of touch but very real in our change and internal satisfaction, and perhaps we can think that it is something small, but it fills our soul. An example of this could be when we tried for years to make our grandmother's recipe, and we could not get it to turn out the same but with many attempts, practice, and learning from mistakes, we finally get it, it seems something simple but without a doubt, it is an act that fills us with great pride once achieved.

    In this episode, Dr. Carmen talks about how important it is to feel proud of your own accomplishments, and how recognizing even the smallest ones can be of great benefit to your mental health.

  • Being Flexible

    Flexibility is a concept that is applied in various fields, although people tend to think about gymnasts or ballerinas when hearing this word, in the psychological field it's oriented to the mental and cognitive part of a human being. It is very common to hear phrases like "you should be more flexible at times like these" but... what does it mean to be mentally flexible, and how can you achieve it?

    Being a flexible person means having the ability to adapt in the best way to the various situations that we may go through, many times being flexible leads to other things such as having a good attitude and an open mind to accept, respect, and understand others views and opinions. Flexibility is a good ally since by allowing ourselves to listen to others with ideas other than our own we can acquire new learnings, and if we use flexibility as a tool, we can open our mind to a circumstance or problem and try endless options to solve it.

    Inflexible people are characterized by resisting change, it takes them a lot of effort to get out of their idea or thought and a simple change of plans can be very uncomfortable, causing them annoyance and anger, they have a hard time listening to the options that other people can offer and prioritize their ideas as the only and best possible option, refusing to appreciate other points of view. These people can become very radical, so much to the point of thinking that those who are not in their favor are against them and not only this, but it is also an arduous task to forgive and accept their mistakes, which can lead to more complex internal situations such as feeling depressed because they do not feel understood and that others are against them.

    Going from being an inflexible person to a flexible and understanding person is possible through practice and personal development techniques. Today, Dr. Carmen Román will be talking about how being flexible in life can bring new opportunities to your life.

  • Living in The Present Moment

    People tend to say that "to remember is to live", it is certainly very nice to think about those pleasant situations that we lived in our childhood or a few years ago, and it's very common to sit with our friends and family to relive those precious moments. It is normal that we turn to the past to remember who we are and where we came from, however, thinking way too much about the past can prevent us from living in the present.

    One of the factors to which we must pay attention is when our thinking resorts to the use of phrases such as "I should have done ...".

    To be able to live in the present we must know that not only does the past affect us, the future also pressures us to live at a different pace, our minds can go to thoughts such as "I have to pay the bills for next month", "What will my boss think of the project that I will present to him?", These thoughts add additional pressure to us that is sometimes not necessary and end up leading us to erroneous conclusions such as "I will be happy when I manage to retire from work", making these assumptions is a serious mistake because we condition our happiness to a single event that we're not sure will happen. By thinking in this way we fail to realize that we spend years longing for something that we do not know if it will really give us happiness instead of enjoying the process until we reach the goal.

    In this episode, Dr. Carmen talks about how we can keep our minds in the present, teaching us techniques that can help us concentrate on what's happening now without the past or the future invading our present.

  • Can I Fall in Love Again?

    Most people have suffered a romantic breakup at least once in their life, a part of these people can quickly recover from that situation, start another relationship again and do much better, but there is another part that finds it difficult to meet new people and get into a romantic relationship after suffering a heartbreak.

    This happens because they are afraid of being hurt or betrayed again, and it is normal to feel fear since they have associated that falling in love can lead to suffering, and feeling fear makes our body stay alert to any activity that may unbalance our tranquility.

    To overcome this and be able to allow yourself to build a new relationship, it is important to avoid regretting what happened and to pause and reflect on the extent to which we have been responsible for that breakup and in what we have contributed, even if it may sound very harsh. All this to improve the necessary aspects and thus obtain better results. If we do not do the personal work, we would fall into immature cycles in the next relationships or take an unconsciously repressed attitude, for example, thinking that if less effort is invested in a relationship, then we will be safe from the heartbreak.

    In those moments you may not be comfortable with loneliness, but you won't feel comfortable in a relationship either, remember that being alone is not bad, on the contrary, sometimes it is necessary and at the same time it is a strength to know how to live with yourself so that later you can be ready to share yourself.

    In this episode, Dr. Carmen will be talking with Psychotherapist Rocío Gutiérrez, who will tell us about why it can be scary to fall in love again, why it is important to work on ourselves before starting a new relationship, the components of fear, and how to know how to choose the adequate person for you.

  • Listening to your Intuition

    Frequently we hear the phrase "listen to your intuition" but... do we really know the meaning of this word? Intuition refers to that ability with which we can reach correct conclusions from little information in a short time. They are those decisions that we take with the heart, not with judgment, that is why we also call it "hunch".

    We could be applying our intuition in daily situations, and sometimes we do it unconsciously since intuition is based on previous knowledge that we obtained during different experiences lived, and our brain stores them to use it as future problem-solving skills. An example of this could be the day-to-day tasks of a mechanic, every time they check a vehicle they know what could be failing and discover solutions, storing that knowledge in their memory; after a few months, another vehicle may come with a similar breakdown and only by hearing the sounds the vehicle makes they take risks giving a diagnosis and a possible solution because their intuition tells them that the past case can be repeated.

    Sometimes the absolute truth puts our intuition aside, but our intuition is a gift that we should always keep in mind and work on it, so if you want to know how to develop your intuition and listen to your inner voice, you cannot miss this episode of the Resilience series, where Dr. Carmen Román will be talking about this wonderful topic.

  • Emotional Neglect in Children

    In our families, especially in Latino families, there is an almost imperceptible factor, since it is not a widely spoken concept, and it is emotional neglect during childhood, this is nothing more than the wrong way to proceed with emotional patterns from parents to children, where the young ones may begin to experience psychological and emotional damage in their present and that may leave consequences for their future.

    Unlike violence and abuse, which are directed in a greater proportion to the physical part, emotional neglect attacks the emotional and psychological side of the kid, this refers to that lack of connection between the father/mother towards the needs of the child, it is oriented in many cases towards omission and for this reason, sometimes it becomes imperceptible even for the same victim already in adulthood to identify if they suffered it.

    A very clear example of this concept is the differentiation of roles between the genders of the girl and the boy, and it can happen when they say to the male brother "you are the man of the house, and you have to take care of ...", the child can perceive this from a young age as his responsibility, and he tends to feel the obligation to exercise greater authority, sometimes even more than the mother herself. The same happens for girls when parents guide them to the path of submission where others are always to be put first and after tending to others, she can tend to herself.

    It is important to clarify that parents or adults involved in raising children do not necessarily have to have bad intentions or be classified as bad for stuff like this to happen, children do not come with a manual for parents, otherwise, there wouldn't be schools for parents. So parents, especially if they are first-time parents, do what they can and in most cases these behaviors and teaching or parenting methods are intergenerational inheritances, breaking these patterns is not so fast or easy.

    These forms of parenting bring with them many problems for the adult stage in these children, that is why we find people with problems expressing their feelings due to repression, which leads to problems in romantic relationships, they also lack maternal love, they have childish attitudes, low self-esteem, and many fears.

    Fortunately, there are ways to overcome it, that is why today Dr. Carmen brings you this valuable conversation with Karen Conlon, LCSW. To serve as a guide for you to explore your childhood, if it were your case, and you know what can be done about it to face it. Join us!
