My perception of Love - Lo que pienso sobre el Amor (part 2)

Love is like a big pillowcase  full with  cotton balls. You keep filling the pillowcase with cotton balls which are like tiny pieces of love, and you stuff it , and stuff it, and stuff it for years!!
Once a while you find someone you can share those cotton balls with, but some times that person doesn't appreciate or doesn't really care about your love, and that person walks away. Then eventually someone who really appreciates those cotton balls of love comes into your life and accepts them, and takes a share , but eventually for one reason or another that person needs to move away from your life, and takes some of your love with him (her) and you never forget that person, and he (she ) will never forget you. So the healthy thing to do is to go back and start filing your pillowcase with tiny bits of love to replace the empty spaces, instead of leaving the emptiness hurt you....Just move on!!  Eventually the right person will come along, or if it doesn't happen, use all that special love inside of you, to grow, to take care of yourself, physically and emotionally, for self improvement, to learn new skills, and most of all to give love to who really wants it and appreciates it. Don't let anybody abuse you, put you down, or take advantage of you!

El amor es como una funda de almohada , la cual llenas con pequeñas bolitas de algodón, a través de los años. De vez en cuando alguien entra en tu vida y acepta compartirlas contigo, pero entonces  esa persona  no aprecia el amor que le brindas y se aleja de tu vida. Eventualmente alguien que sí lo aprecia,  lo acepta, pero por cosas de la vida debe alejarse pero se lleva parte de tu amor y lo conserva para siempre, y nunca te olvidas de esa persona y esa persona nunca se olvida de ti. Lo mas saludable es volver a llenar  la funda de almohada con los pedacitos de amor para reemplazar las bolitas de algodon en los espacios vacios, en vez de permitir que esos espacios vacios te hagan daño.... Vuelve a la realidad!! Eventualmente la persona apropiada entrará en tu vida; pero si eso no ocurriese, utiliza todo el amor especial que has guardado dentro de ti, para amarte a ti mismo, para crecer como ser humano, para cuidar tu salud emocional y física, para aprender nuevas habilidades, pero sobretodo para dar amor a quien de verdad lo quiera y lo aprecie. No dejes que nadie te humille, que nadie abuse de ti, y que nadie tome ventaja de ti!!!

My perception of Love - Lo que pienso sobre el Amor

I believe that love is  like something tattooed on each neuron  of your brain; it's like a substance  impregnated in each drop of  blood that runs through your veins; it doesn't care about age, race, or gender; Love is infinite, and only occasionally happens between two people at the same time; love is indescribable, sometimes impossible, and some other times might need to be kept as a great secret'

El amor es como algo tatuado en cada neurona de tu cerebro; es como algo impregnado en cada gota de sangre que corre por tus venas; al amor, no le importa la edad, la raza o el género; el amor es infinito y solo ocasionalmente ocurre entre dos personas al mismo tiempo;  el amor es algo indescriptible, a veces imposible y para algunos, es necesario guardar como un gran secreto.

People Handle Crisis in very different ways

People handle crises in diverse ways.

Have you ever asked yourself why you cry watching a movie, but when confronted with a crisis or a loss in your life, in which you need to make vital decisions, there's no time to cry until the crisis is over, and then you ask yourself: "Did this really happen, or have I been dreaming"?

Some people freeze and are unable to make decisions, while others find unknown strengths and act in ways they would have never imagined, in order to handle situations that they would have never solved in a regular day.

How people behave after being exposed to a traumatic event can also vary. Some people shut down and would not talk about the experience, while others might feel an urge to share their feelings or talk about their experience numerous times to friends and relatives.

The sad part is that relatives and friends don't want to listen to you, mostly because of difficulty dealing with their own grief and pain.

In case of an event where numerous lives have been lost, and a person witnesses the event, it can cause mixed feelings related to "being alive" and grateful, or "being alive " and feeling guilty about it.

In each of these scenarios, talking about the experience to a professional who has been trained to deal with crises and with survivors of attacks can help you keep a healthy marriage, keep a good friend, but most of all, can help you stay emotionally and mentally stable.

Some tips related to Parenting:

Parenting a child starts in the womb. An expectant mother can start building up her child's emotional stability by having healthy habits, such as eating healthy nutritional meals, sleeping at least 7 hours daily, avoiding conflict and stress, and listening to relaxing music.

Talking to your child and even listening to soft music can help create an atmosphere of inner peace that can be transmitted to your unborn child. This routine could be even better if the father can be part of it, like touching the expectant mother's abdomen and talking gentle words of love to his unborn child.

After birth, from the first day a child is born, parents can start by creating a schedule to adjust to having a new member in the family. A child should be taught to sleep at certain hours, to bathe at certain hours, and to eat on time, according to each stage of a child's life.

A parent needs to learn to identify a child's needs when a child cries, because it can be different depending on each need. For example, a child cries differently when he/she is hungry, when in pain, or if the child needs to be held or pampered. Even as a child grows into a preschooler, school age, or adolescent, they all have a certain way of letting parents know what their emotional needs are. It's up to the parent to be able to connect emotionally to his/her child in order to fulfill these needs to help a child grow to be a successful adult.

Algunos consejos sobre la crianza:

La crianza de un hijo comienza en el vientre materno. Una futura madre puede empezar a fomentar la estabilidad emocional de su hijo adoptando hábitos saludables, como una alimentación nutritiva, dormir al menos 7 horas diarias, evitar conflictos y estrés, y escuchar música relajante.

Hablar con el bebé e incluso escuchar música suave puede ayudar a crear un ambiente de paz interior que se transmitirá al recién nacido. Esta rutina puede ser aún mejor si el padre participa, por ejemplo, tocando el vientre de la futura madre y diciéndole palabras de amor a su hijo por nacer.

Después del nacimiento, desde el primer día, los padres pueden empezar a establecer una rutina para adaptarse a la llegada del nuevo miembro a la familia. Se debe enseñar al niño a dormir, bañarse y comer a horas determinadas, según cada etapa de su desarrollo.

Es importante que los padres aprendan a identificar las necesidades del niño cuando llora, ya que estas varían según cada caso. Por ejemplo, un niño llora de forma diferente cuando tiene hambre, cuando siente dolor o si necesita que lo abracen o lo mimen. Incluso a medida que crece y llega a la edad preescolar, escolar o la adolescencia, todos tienen una manera particular de comunicar a sus padres cuáles son sus necesidades emocionales. Es responsabilidad de los padres conectar emocionalmente con sus hijos para satisfacer estas necesidades y ayudarlos a convertirse en adultos exitosos.

Quote for 03/03/2013

Don't let anybody rule your life...You might lose great opportunities, and you might regret forever not taking the risk!

No dejes que nadie controle tu vida... ¡Podrías perder grandes oportunidades y arrepentirte para siempre de no haberte arriesgado!
