October with Fewer Zeros. We start the month subtracting. Although we have been subtracting zeros from my country's currency for years. Yesterday when I published the article of the day I briefly discussed what would start to happen as of October 1st with our local currency, the bolivar. I am not an expert in economics, nor in political science, nor do I pretend to be, people who follow my posts know that my area of expertise is psychology, but I would like to try today, in…
Love Without Pretending Let's start October talking about love. Specifically about love as a couple. That feeling that two people share, that affective relationship that moves us, that makes us share time and live experiences with that special being. That love of two people who respect and value each other according to the balance of the relationship. But, if that couple relationship is not what I had dreamed of? where that love that begins, manifests itself with discomfort,…
El Poder De Elegir. Desde hace días estoy realizando una dinámica con otras dos personas. Nos reunimos y conversamos abiertamente sobre las vivencias surgidas en las relaciones con los amigos, con los hijos, con los vecinos. Y algo interesante que discutimos en la terapia que realizamos es que nos damos cuenta de algunos problemas que estamos confrontando en ese momento y buscamos posibles soluciones. Hay situaciones que me llaman mucho la atención en esas conversaciones y…
Deseo Algo que No Tengo. Cuando decidí tener un vehículo no se lo manifesté a nadie. Fue mi secreto por varios meses. Fui sola a la agencia automotriz de ese entonces y solicité los requisitos necesarios para comprar un vehículo. Todo lo gestione sola, y sin anunciarlo a nadie. Al poco tiempo me llamaron de la agencia para retirar mi vehículo. Pero como no conocía el manejo de un carro sincrónico, tuve que buscar ayuda, para poder sacar el carro de la agencia y llevarlo a mi…
The Power to Choose For the last few days, I have been doing a dynamic with two other people. We meet and talk openly about the experiences that have arisen in our relationships with our friends, with our children, with our neighbors. And something interesting that we discuss in the therapy we do is that we become aware of some problems that we are facing at that moment and we look for possible solutions. There are situations that catch my attention a lot in those…
The Passion that Defines you. Most people are passionate about certain activities. When we do them very often we are defined as passionate people. But it is true that having a passion brings out the best in us, motivates us to seek more and more information, thus improving our knowledge in that activity that moves us, makes us a person full of energy, more interesting for other people who may be interested in you because they are united by the same passion. It is said that a…
No Dejes para Mañana lo que Puedes Hacer Hoy. Cuántas veces nos ha pasado que tenemos trabajo importante por realizar y no empezamos, siempre lo postergamos por otra actividad. Por ejemplo, tengo una amiga, es profesora de la universidad local. En varias ocasiones que la he visitado tiene en su mesa montones de carpetas de trabajos por revisar de sus estudiantes. Ella tiene que revisar y luego pasar las notas a su archivo. Son 40 estudiantes por 8 aulas que atiende. Uf, ¡320…
No Mobile Signal... I'm dying! At the beginning of October, something unusual happened worldwide on social networks: WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram were without signal. It was more than 6 hours of worldwide suffering. I can tell you that I found out about the signal loss because my son told me about it. And you may wonder why I didn't find out personally, I will tell you why I didn't find out personally when the social networks went down. First I want to say something that…
Celebrating Another Year. For months now my 6-year-old granddaughter has been asking how long it will be until October. Since the beginning of the year, she started counting the months. And now that the month of October has started, things got more intense, because now she was counting the days until the 16th. Every time, every moment of the day, since the beginning of the month, she was asking how many days until her birthday. We started to call her "the intense child"…
Release the Armor of your Heart, Forgive. Changing your lifestyle after a break-up is not easy. Especially if the break-up in the relationship has been a conflictual one. One or both parties involved suffer and are scarred with deep wounds that prevent them from moving towards a happy lifestyle. Towards a new beginning. In a marital breakup, where the offence and unfair treatment with violent events predominate, we can only expect to find deep traces of suffering and pain.…
Venezuela sin Jóvenes. Abraham es un joven muy serio, un gran caballero de tan solo 17 años. De temperamento extremadamente flemático. Demasiado calmado. En julio pasado se graduó de bachillerato. Muchos meses antes de su graduación comenzó a trabajar como cocinero aprendiz en un restaurante de comida criolla, un local muy concurrido en la localidad. Es un joven muy responsable y trabajador. Siempre puntual en su jornada laboral. El no es mi nieto sanguíneo, pero desde…
Love Connected in Social Networks. I have dealt in some content with the topic of couple relationships. Talking about love in couples is a very broad topic. It involves many factors where emotions, feelings, maturity, trust, and even risk come into play. If it is a long-distance love through social networks, the risk is even greater. The solidity of love in the relationship does not depend on age, because age does not refer to the maturity that a person has, they are two…
Hello, What is your Name? We all know our name, where we live, where we work, we know our relatives, our environment, but do you really know yourself? Social confinement made us change the whole scheme we had for our work, family, and environment routine. Now we do everything at home. When we realize that something or everything affects us, we are living a moment to reflect and think about how we feel, how we are, how we relate, what situations affect us, how we feel about…
Tres Regalos Incalculables. “Me gusta la gente que regala cosas caras como… tiempo, lealtad y honestidad”, me cruce hace poco con estas palabras en una imagen que vi en Facebook y me intereso escribir sobre su contenido. Me interesó escribir sobre el tema porqué a medida que pasan los años te das cuenta que las cosas que realmente importan no son materiales. Hablaré un poco sobre el valor incalculable que tiene regalar o que te regalen tiempo, lealtad y honestidad. Muchas…
How often do you Upload Selfies? The behaviour of human beings always has a meaning at a psychological level, which allows us to discover the reason for certain behaviours that are repeated in our daily routine. What drives us to repeat behaviours? We have routines that we think are unimportant, but at the subconscious level, without realising it, we bring out the essence of how we are in some aspects of our lives. Many years before the pandemic we are already interacting…
My Pacemaker and I Made a Record. Elizabeth has been very active since she was young, always taking advantage of any free space to ride a bike. But what Elizabeth likes most is running. At work, she keeps an eye on the sports days that are held to celebrate the company's anniversary. She has been taking part in marathons with her colleagues for a long time. And last year was no exception. Even in the pandemic season, the company only held the marathon, because it was in an…
