POST 7: FRIENDS

POST 7: FRIENDS

Hi my loved readers, today i´m gonna talk about one of the main relations of the human being: friendship

I think friendship is one of the most important personal achievements, if you could have a friend, you will became a better person. Why?? This is an untold secret, but i will tell you what I think about (the truth about friendship).

The magic of friendship is that you can´t chose your friends, even though you think you chose they, in reality, they neither chose you. Friendship only happens, but you need to work to maintain it.

The secret is that you can only have a friend if you are open to feel the another experience and if the other person is open to feel you too.

For this reasons i feel friendship is a difficult experience for many people, specially for people who find specific things in other or are open only for his own expectations. This people suffer in friendship, they feeling disappointed, and returned to his loneliness.

I hope you´ll tell me what are you think about that.

Bye, my friends

POST 6: F O O D

Hi again. I´m in the last stage of the year, I have too many things to do: work on my tesis, correct evaluations of my students, finish some works, but today I want to talk about FOOD. Yes, I´m a big procrastinator and because of that I like to talk about something different than I must to do.

I really like to eat, but I don´t like to cook. Anyway, I think is important have a good diet specially because the food you eat impact in your physical and mental performance.

I don´t have an special behavior about food, I eat anything, meal, vegetables, fruits, fish, carbohydrates, legumes and neither have any repulse about food, I like food and i love to taste new flavours. However, basically I still have the preferences when I was a child: I love roast chicken with fries, pizza, hamburguer, and all of that kind of thinks.
 
I´ve never been on a diet because my problem ussually was the opposite: I was very skinny, my mother gived to me vitamins to made me gain weight, and several times I tried to eat more than I think I need. Anyway, this situation was turn arround when I began to work in my profession since 6 years ago, I gained 15 kilograms and stayed ther. Thanks to that today I don´t have problems with my weight.

This is all for today, thanks you and have a good time

POST 5: MY FUTURE JOB / MY DREAM JOB

POST 5: MY FUTURE JOB / MY DREAM JOB

Hello again my virtual friends, I hope you were enjoy my previous posts. Today I´m dreamy, I think about my future life, which means think about my job in the future, a mix between the real current posibilities and the magic of fantasies.

At present I try to begin an independent proyect of psychology in parallel to my clinical practice, focused in the use of participation to develop proyects. This initiative is very interesting to me because I do it with one friend (psichologist too) and we can do this work in different places, with different people, and with different objectives (not only in my own box with one patience as it is in my diary practice).

You can think I don´t like my present job, but you´re wrong, I love so much my job, but sometimes I would like to knew more people, more places and (specially) hold a common and simple conversation with someone and don´t think about what is the desire and the unconscious manifestation of his words.

Really, I like to do different things and I feel it´s necesary to my mental health to do different thinks in a day. But I like to work in psychology and this participation proyect is very similar to my actual work, because is a different way to do group psicoterapy (one of the kinds of therapy I do), but in other place and towards the objetive to help groups to confront their conflicts and achieve their goals.

POST 4: MY BEST PLACE

POST 4: MY BEST PLACE

Hello my virtual-friends (if someone read my post), today i was thinking about my favorite place in this city (Santiago de Chile) and I realized my favorite place is San Cristobal hill.

I don´t go very much to San Cristobal hill, but wen I go I like it. Why?? Because I like to climb it in my bike.

San Cristobal Hill is located between providencia, recoleta and huechuraba (In Chile we told "comuna" to this little administrative goverment, the city of Santiago has dividd in some "comunas" like providencia, recoleta and huechuraba), It´s a relatively center place of the city. You can get this hill by different places because it have different entry points

I love San Cristobal hill because I like to go in my bike and climb it, but many people go there to do different thigs like make a barbecue, running, visit the "virgen" in the top of the hill, go to the swimming pool, walk arround, play sports, and all you can imagine that you can do in a hill. But the historical atractions of the hill are "funicular", "teleferico", the zoo and visit the "virgen".

The "funicular" is kind of elevator-train to transport people to the top of the hill, it´s nice to be in there and enjoy the view. The "teleferico" it doesn´t work since many years, i don´t know why, but I think it´s a great experience traveling into them, It´s a capsule like an egg with seats inside guided by a wire, into them you can see a spectacular view of the city of Santiago because you travel hundred of meters over the floor to the top of the hill.

This is all for today, I hope you visit San Cristobal Hill, bye

One of my favourite places in Santiago is Barrio Italia. Barrio Italia is a traditional neighbourhood in Santiago located in the streets sorrrounding Avenida Italia, just  where Ñuñoa and Providencia meet.
If you're good at walking go to Salvador underground station and then walk South for about 10 blocks and there it is.
This neighbourhood is in an old part of the town where houses have been converted into workshops, restaurants, cafes, hotels, antiques shops... The list is long. It´s like a San Telmo, the famous street fair in Buenos Aires, but much more smaller and probably safer, and If you go in spring or summer you will see people of all ages walking around the streets. What I like about it is that there you can find a nice mixture between old and modern things.
Barrio Italia is the perfect outing for a Saturday morning when most shops are open. You can go on your own and sit outside a cafe or restaurant to see the people go by, or you can go with some friends and have a nice lunch or talk over a coffee or beer. You can also go with your family and spend time window shopping, then  have a nice cup of tea and pastries or some delicious icecream.
So if you are tired of going to crowded and noisy malls, make a change and visit this old (but refurbished) charming place.
