ART-THERAPIE Formation d' Art-thérapeute validée par l'Etat How to turn small talk into smart conversation Imagine almost any situation where two or more people are gathered—a wedding reception, a job interview, two off-duty cops hanging out in a Jacuzzi. What do these situations have in common? Almost all of them involve people trying to talk with each other. But in these very moments where a conversation would enhance an encounter, we often fall short. We can’t think of a thing to say. Or worse, we do a passable job at talking. We stagger through our romantic, professional and social worlds with the goal merely of not crashing, never considering that we might soar. We at What to Talk About headquarters set out to change this. Ask for stories, not answers One way to get beyond small talk is to ask open-ended questions. Instead of . . . Try . . . Break the mirror When small talk stalls out, it’s often due to a phenomenon we call “mirroring.” Mirrored example: James: It’s a beautiful day! See? Non-mirrored example: James: It’s a beautiful day!

Los niveles de pérdida | El País Semanal En conversaciones con amistades suelen aparecer distintas maneras de contemplar el conjunto de una vida vivida. La mayoría suele hacer un ejercicio de apreciación existencial, es decir, admiten que a pesar de los pesares se sienten satisfechas con lo que les ha tocado vivir. Podría haber sido peor, dicen unas. Podría haber sido algo mejor, dicen otras. Las personas solemos disponer de un mecanismo, irreductiblemente tendencioso, para quedarnos con las experiencias buenas, recordar lo mejor, y soslayar lo duro, difícil e incluso extremo. Cuando la vida queda atrapada entre las polaridades placer o dolor, léase también sufrimiento, toda acción se reduce al logro o a la huida. Madurar es aceptar pérdidas Si tú llamas experiencias a tus dificultades y recuerdas que cada experiencia te ayuda a madurar, vas a crecer vigoroso y feliz, no importa cuán adversas parezcan las circunstancias. Con esos parámetros, no es de extrañar que se huya de todo lo que huela a pérdidas. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
The { } And i heart intelligence Gandhi’s Top 10 Fundamentals for Changing the World “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” “The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.” “If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.” Mahatma Gandhi needs no long introduction. So let’s just move on to some of my favourite tips from Mahatma Gandhi. 1. “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” “As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.” If you change yourself you will change your world. And the problem with changing your outer world without changing yourself is that you will still be you when you reach that change you have strived for. And so in this new situation you will still not find what you hoped for since your mind is still seeping with that negative stuff. 2. 3. 4. 5.
How to Alchemise the New Moon Energy to Manifest your Goals Every new moon that comes around I use as a checkpoint for my life. The new moon is about starting with an empty clean slate, it is the conception of an idea to become birthed into life with the coming full moon. I do this just like thousands of others have for literally hundreds of thousands of years to move, ebb and flow with the energy that is within all of the universe including us. For example farmers knew this, so they started to plan their harvests and seeding around the moon cycles. These farmers noticed through time passing that the seeds that took the best were seeded during the new moon. This is a time I set my target for my deepest heartfelt desires and I am going to tell you how you can do this too. Moon Manifestation for Birthing Your Desires I always begin by setting aside some time most of the time it is by myself at night but you can also do this in a group.

i heart intelligence 13 things confident people do differently We all have our own unique characteristics that make us who we are.

Procrastinating What many people have in common is putting off the work they should do today for tomorrow just because they don’t “feel like it”. Excuses It has always been easy to come up with an excuse for something you simply don’t want to do or haven’t been committed enough to do it.
Yo, Sociedad Limitada | EL PAÍS Semanal El 31 de agosto de 1997, en la revista Fast Company, Tom Peters publicaba un artículo titulado La marca llamada tú (The Brand Called You), donde empezaba con una sentencia que revolucionó el panorama del desarrollo personal: “Las grandes compañías comprenden la importancia de las marcas. Hoy, en la era del individuo, tienes que ser tu propia marca. Esto es lo que necesitas para ser el director general de Yo, S. L.”. Más de una década después, este tema sigue siendo de absoluta actualidad. Sin embargo, la primera reacción es de resistencia y rechazo a ser considerados y tratados como una marca. Si ya sabes lo que tienes que hacer y no lo haces entonces estás peor que antes” Confucio Como dice Andrés Pérez Ortega, especialista en esta materia: “La marca personal pretende ayudar a las personas a posicionarse, a ocupar un lugar preferente en la mente de otros (jefes, colaboradores, clientes, votantes, colegas, familia, amigos…). Posicionarnos y ser capaces de destacar. Tom Peters, (Deusto)
12 Promises You Should Make To Yourself & Keep Forever Marc and Angel, two passionate writers, life-hackers and “admirers of the human spirit,” have come up with an amazing list of 12 Promises You Should Make To Yourself & Keep Forever. If you like their list, make sure you check out their site and sign up to their amazing newsletter! When you become your own best friend, life is easier. Life is not all rainbows and butterflies. Promise to fight back, to fight harder, to laugh louder and longer and slap adversity back into its seat whenever it dares to stand against you. Make these promises to yourself, and keep them forever. Repeat after me: “I promise…” “I will not hold the past against myself.” – Your problems, your weaknesses, setbacks, regrets and mistakes teach you if you’re willing to learn, or they will punish you if you’re not. Afterthoughts The image you have of yourself in the future depends on the actions you watch yourself take today. Promise yourself and then prove it!
