Sometimes, to better deal with what’s happening to us, we need a moment, a moment of calm and inner connection. Closing our eyes offers a break with the world and a journey towards our own thoughts, emotions, needs and values. We’ve gotten too used to focusing on what’s out there. Maybe it’s time to go back, go back to ourselves.
We often find research, books and articles that talk about the importance of our social relationships to be happy.
- Does having strong friendships.
- A happy couple and a family that values.
- Love and admire makes a big difference?It strengthens us as people.
- No doubt.
- However.
- There are people who suffer from depression even if they have everything.
- And sometimes even more what happens?.
In this case, the fault is in inner harmony, being well with oneself, if there is no umbilical cord attached to us, where self-esteem, self-confidence, good emotional management, goals and a complete acceptance of who we are. and they have sunk, there will be no well-being. It won’t even matter to the people around us. The internal connection is also health.
Goethe said that our reality is so divinely organized that each of us, instead and in his time, is in balance and in harmony with everything else, this can be considered true as long as we are well psychologically. -Solid and illuminated interior, no one can feel in harmony with their surroundings.
Now, we can wonder what we’re really talking about when we call it: being inside?And the importance of “internal connection”. Areas such as spirituality generally treat such concepts, however, from a psychological point of view, we refer concretely and exclusively to the mind.
This dimension is everything and forms our true self. Our consciousness, our thoughts, our memory, our imagination, our emotions, our personality, our fears, our needs, our values, etc. are integrated into this mental space.
The mind is much more than a brain creation, as Hippocrates said 2500 years ago, all we are is in our minds, a fact we forget when we neglect what happens there.
As Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania and author of several books on intelligence, creativity and human potential, says, mental life not only happens in our brains, but is also related to our body, how we feel. physically and our relationships with others.
If we neglect, if we do not work on our inner connection, this absolute harmony that Goethe speaks of will never exist, here are some steps to achieve all this:
As the famous neuroscientist Antonio Damasio points out, the emotions are of the body and the feelings are of the mind, so when we come into contact with our inner being, it is necessary to detect all the realities that concern us in the present moment. .
Take a moment to detect how your body feels: is there pressure in your stomach, your heart beating hard, your jaw or neck hurting?
Emotions trigger physical responses that then move in the mind to shape feelings when we feel them. This stomach pain can be the result of fear, anxiety, frustration, etc. Try to identify and accept these dimensions, making them real.
To foster inner connection, it is necessary to close our eyes and listen to what our thoughts say, especially our internal dialogue. Sometimes this voice specializes in our poisoning, filling us with fears and insecurities. Take good care of your speeches, statements, obsessions, etc. If you find out you’re acting like your worst enemy, clean up this dialogue.
Absolute acceptance of who we are and we have mitigated a number of disadvantages. Nothing is as comforting as injecting large doses of self-esteem into this inner connection, letting out compassion, forgiveness and self-valation. All these dimensions heal and remind us that we have given the right to be good.
Boris Cyrulnik, neurologist, French psychiatrist and author of books known as “The Ugly Ducklings: Resilience”. Doesn’t life determine an unhappy childhood?This new book is titled “I wrote suns at night. “This book talks about the importance of creativity in fostering inner connection and overcoming trauma.
For this specialist in difficult times, nothing is as cathartic and necessary to immerse himself and be free as literature, poetry, art, music, etc. Does any activity that connects the mind to a task with which we allow ourselves to create something has the power to metamorphose with pain?leave the person free and, in turn, allow the connection to himself to find a cure.
In this way, we have managed to put our broken pieces together and become more resistant, free and ready to be happy people. We have to take all this into account!
“Life is crazy, isn’t it? Then fall in love. Imagine that we are balanced people with a peaceful life, there would be no success, no crisis, no trauma to overcome, just routine, nothing to remember; we wouldn’t even know who we are, if there’s no success, no history, no identity, human beings are passionate because their lives are crazy. ?Boris Cyrulnik-
