Conscious Awareness

Often when children play or engage in a creative activity, they become intensely connected to the present moment and the action.

If they’re enjoying themselves this becomes a deeply satisfying thing to do.

In that way, a pause is given or a gap is created to the thinking mind, in which true presence and conscious choices take place.

In her book “How To Do The Work”, Dr. Nicole Lepera .holistic.psychologist talks about having a real connection to who we really are by emphasising the importance of conscious awareness.

It is a state of open awareness that not only allows us to witness ourselves and the life around us, but also empowers choice.

When we’re running in autopilot, a subconscious part of our mind drives our reactions.

To break the autonomic reactions and thought patterns, practising conscious awareness is the key.

Start with observing your thoughts and reactions during the day. What is the ground source and the basic emotion behind them?

The goal from there is to practise making new choices through out the day.

When new neural pathways are forged, we are able to break free of our default patterns and live more actively in a conscious state.

Conscious awareness is a learnt skill 👍🏻

✨İngiltere Kraliçesi merhum Elizabeth II’i anma törenleri bugün okullarda da gerçekleştirildi.

✨ Bizim çocuklarımızın okulundaki öğleden sonra toplanmasına herkes gibi, ben de davetliydim.

✨ Törende müdür ama özellikle rahip eşliğinde kraliçenin hayatına ve ülkesi için yaptıklarına dair paylaşımlar yapıldı.

✨ En fazla 20 dk’lık bir toplanmanın en ilginç özelliklerinden biri, öğrencilerin içebakış yapmalarına fırsat verilmesiydi.

✨ Ölüm, kayıp, yas gibi kavramların bireylerde ne gibi duygu ve düşünceler oluşturabileceğine dair aktarımlar oldu. Bu konuda yardım almanın önemi, değer yargıları ve saygı çerçevesinde iletildi.

✨ Son olarak tüm mezhepleri düşünerek son yolculuğa uğurlama gibi bir dua edildi ve bir dakikalık saygı duruşunu takiben, sözleri “Kralımız Sen Çok Yaşa” olarak değiştirilen ulusal marş ile kapanış yapıldı.

✨Burada paylaşmış olduklarım benim yorumsuz gözlemlerimdir.

✨Yurtdışına göç eden ailelerin ve çocuklarının bulundukları okullara göre kültürel deneyimleri farklı olacaktır.

It is very important to know that self-regulation is can be learned.

Nothing can replace the work of a parent, so the family environment is the most crucial tool.

Non-judgemental support and modelling self-awareness always win.

We’ve all been subject to making judgements, either silently and verbally.

Not making any judgements at all, however, is pretty much impossible.

We should be able express our dislikes and values as much as our likes.

There comes a point, however, where making judgements becomes being judgemental.

Being judgemental means being overly critical in an unhelpful and destructive way.

This way of thinking and acting is also damaging for our own self-esteem and mental health.

There is another way: we can use our opinions to critique for a constructive cause or change.

Detached criticism is a learnt skill 👍🏻

The Truths About Parenting

I remember the time when I said “I’m soo ready to have children 😍” to myself.
It’s like yesterday, meaning the memory is still fresh.

I also remember saying “Oh my! This is so hard, why did I sign up for this?! 😵‍💫”
This is fresh too.

What I learned over the years is that in parenting, getting things right or perfect all the time doesn’t exist.

I’m telling you, it’s impossible!

What is real and possible is that you keep learning, evolving and flourishing as a parent.

What do you think?

Learned optimism is a process by which you learn to recognise habitually negative thoughts, and then challenge them.

Challenging your pessimistic ideas helps you reframe them into new, more positive beliefs.

Learned optimism can improve your:
📌 physical health
📌 mood and psychological well-being,
📌 boost your self-esteem and
📌 encourage more positive behaviours.

Optimism is learnt skill 👍🏻

Authentic Happiness is the book written by Martin Seligman, the father of Positive Psychology movement.

In the 20th century, psychology research was focused primarily on mental illness. In 2000, Seligman set out to change this and launched an initiative to scientifically understand human happiness and flourishing.

The key to happiness lies not changing your genes, but in changing factors under your control- actions you take and thoughts you think. 💌

The Perks of Being a Parent

Here’s my daily meditation as soon as I wake up:

May I be filled with love and kindness.

May I be content and present.

May I say what I mean and hold back what I also mean.

There’s no exact manual for parenting. I think it’s learnt whilst crossing the bridge.

It needs physical and mental strength, but there may never be the right time to master this.

It’s double rewarding and fulfilling when both sides are satisfied.

Tolerance is the ability or willingness to tolerate the existence of opinions or behaviours of the other.

Tolerance in families differ from each other, culturally and traditionally.

In families where differences are mutually respected between members; high tolerance, happiness and peace exists.

The healthy ways for practising tolerance in family dynamics are to pause, to communicate, to reflect and to make a decision.

Then, there can be either more acceptance towards each other and/or more clear & solid boundaries to protect the individuals’ essences.

Tolerance is a learnt skill 👍🏻
