Compasion Propio es necesario para vivir mejor. Sintiendo todas nuestras emociones es el primer paso. En ratos cortos pero frequentes como dice Toskyni Rinpoche podemos llegar aceptar nuestras emociones. Son normales y tenemos que cambiar las ideas culturales que nos ensenaron porque no nos sirven ya. Poco a poco con usar el lengua de como estamos percibiendo nuestra vida podemos ser mas intimos con nosotros y los demas.

This past week was a whole week of Teacher Appreciation. It was great but I wanted to reflect on the hardship we go through when students are suffering. How can teachers help their students to process their emotions? How can teacher observe student behavior without judgment? We have a lot of work to do on ourselves to create a healthy safe environment in our classrooms. Only then can students begin to learn how to manage their emotions and have a positive self esteem. I share many quotes from David Richo in this episode to make my points. Hope you can share your thoughts with me. We need to be able to dialogue to begin real change.

We all know we will die one day but how can we prepare for it. I share the passing of my beloved mother in law here. She means so much to me. It starts on the 20th minute and ends with her Eulogy at around the 40 minute mark. If you only want to listen to that part, I am including the time stamp. I know many family members weren't there at the hospital for a variety of reasons. This is my perspective of what happened in the Last 24 Hours of Her Life.

Todos sabemos que nos vamos a morir pero puede uno preparse para ese momento.

Today I want to talk about what we need to have successful relationships. David Richo gives us the 5 As and Maslow gave us the Hierarchy of Needs and there is so much information online which can be confusing. There are many people who share their knowledge on conscious relationships but how can we apply it to our lives? Acceptance of where we are is a good start. Having difficult conversations and being as truthful with yourself is also helpful. "Be true to your work, your word, and your friend." Henry David Thoreau

This is the last episode where I discuss Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence components. Self Awareness, Self Regulation, Social Awareness, and Social Skills. We all know that our ability to get along with others is a much better skill to have than just intellectual skills. We are moving into an era where we need to know how to identify our emotions as well as those around us. As an educator, I need to model the components of having a strong emotional intelligence so that my students can also feel safe. I hope that we can continue our discuss regarding this topic. It is very rich and helpful to discuss in small groups. Next Live Chat will be around these episodes.

I continue exploring the teachings of Daniel Goleman and Emotional Intelligence. This episode I share my understanding of what it means to manage your emotions. We experience a few minutes of grounding and opening at the start of the episode. I recommend you practice a couple of minutes everyday of just sitting and breathing. Noticing your body and observing your mind. Settling it and becoming aware of what it is feeling. A daily practice will support your ability to self-manage your life. Hope you enjoy this talk. 

La conversación de hoy es una continuación de la semana pasada en Patreon. Para crecer en inteligencia emocional necesitamos fortalecer nuestra capacidad de ser conscientes de nosotros mismos. ¿Cómo podemos hacer eso? Te presento a la conciencia del sonido. Cuando te quedas con los sonidos a tu alrededor y escuchando la campana que toco. Le ayudará a ser consciente de lo que está en su mente. El ejercicio de su autoconciencia será una gran base para una mejor socialización con los demás. Conócete a ti mismo todos los días
