Τα συναισθήματα είναι ένα βασικό μέσο αντίληψης της πραγματικότητας και η έκφραση και το μοίρασμά τους ο κυριότερος τρόπος να σχετιστούμε με τους άλλους. Είναι ο πυρήνας της ύπαρξής μας.

Στόχος των σεμιναρίων αυτών, είναι να εξοικειωθούμε με τα συναισθήματά μας, αυτό το τόσο ζωτικό κομμάτι της προσωπικότητας και της ζωής μας, και να μάθουμε πώς μπορούν να μας χρησιμεύσουν και πώς μπορούμε να τα αξιοποιήσουμε στην καθημερινότητά μας.

έρως θνητών, αθάνατος μια μουσική παράσταση για τον έρωτα

ΤΕΣΣΕΡΙΣ ΜΥΘΟΙ περασμένοι σε μια κόκκινη κλωστή από μουσικές, τραγούδια και απόκοσμους ήχους μάς ταξιδεύουν στον πυρήνα της καρδιάς μας.

Ο Πλάτωνας στο Συμπόσιό του παραθέτει το «μύθο των ψυχών» υποστηρίζοντας ότι ο λόγος που ερωτευόμαστε είναι η εναγώνια αναζήτηση της επαναφοράς στην αρχική μας κατάσταση, αυτή της πληρότητας …

Αναζητήσαμε…
Συναντήσαμε ελάφια, νεράιδες, μυθικούς άρχοντες και τέλος την Ηρώ και τον Λέανδρο.

Τα όνειρα, οι προσδοκίες, η προσμονή, η απόγνωση, το γέλιο, το κλάμα, όλες οι αντιφάσεις του έρωτα, είναι τα μυστικά υλικά - οι ουσίες των ηρώων - όπου σα θάλασσα κολυμπήσαμε και ανασύραμε τούτη την παράσταση…

…Ποιος είσαι εσύ ποιος είμαι εγώ
Τα σύνορα χαθήκαν.

7 ways to effectively manage anger

Enjoying positive emotions such as happiness requires managing "negative emotions" such as anger so read on and enjoy this practical and informative article...

I am probably not alone in saying that anger is one of those emotions that many of us would prefer not to feel. Yet it is a normal, healthy emotion that everyone experiences that can range from mild irritation to an intense rage or fury. While it is OK to feel angry, it is usually the way in which we respond and express that anger that can cause problems.

Here are some ways that I have found to be effective in managing anger.

1. Sleep and diet are vital in not only our ability to control anger but in maintaining positive mood. A healthy diet and quality regular sleep are essential when trying successfully control and express anger. While this may sound obvious, it should be one of the first things to check.

2. Take regular breaks. Try to take a break from your everyday working environment. If you work indoors, try to spend some time outside. If you work in a noisy or active environment, try to have some quiet time each day. Effective and regular meditation is a great way to learn how to give our minds a break.

3. To be able to manage anger, we must at first be able to recognise it. The earlier we detect anger, the easier and more time we have to manage it.

Write a list of situations that usually tick you off. It might be being cut off in traffic, somebody jumping queue or running late for an appointment. Acknowledge that in some scenarios we have little control than others, but we can control our reaction.

Watch out for the physiological signs of anger such as tightness in the chest, a rush of energy or heat, tensed muscles, grinding teeth, increased heath rate or racing thoughts.

4. Time out. Removing yourself from the situation/trigger for your anger is important when trying to cool off. Excuse yourself from the situation, and go for a walk. Take in deep breaths and count down from 10. If you still feel a bit wired repeat.

5. Regular exercise can help manage some of the physiological symptoms of anger. Often going for a run or ‘hitting’ the gym (metaphorically speaking) can help you calm down and expend excess energy in a more productive manner.

5. Talking it through with a third party can sometimes help alleviate some anger, as well provide an objective point of view.

6. Practice Acceptance - Accept that sometimes we don’t always have to be right. At time it may be best to agree to disagree, compromise and learn to accept this.

7. Learn to act rather than react - Taking physical or mental space from the problem can give us the time we need to cool off and come up with an plan for action. Being skilled in problem solving and assertiveness are key ingredients to effective conflict resolution.

Remember it’s not about getting rid of anger all together, but about dealing with those emotions so you can express yourself more productively.

Happiness Crisis

Last week the World Economic Forum in Davos (which consists of a variety of topical forums) introduced its yearly insights into issues related to economic and human progress. Not surprisingly, one of the central topics of discussion focused on the world financial crisis.

The panellists in one of the forums thus discussed what will likely cause the next financial crisis. Another forum ventured into the relation between the economy and human happiness. After careful analysis a number of similarities between the two issues can be noted (See Figure 1).

The key message of the crisis forum was that crises are inevitable for the future and constitute an integral part of economic development. Similarly, when discussing happiness the panellists determined that lasting happiness is nearly impossible to achieve and crises are equally an integral part of human nature. This seemingly evident connection between the administrative system and the individual has interesting implications.

A number of administrative systems around the world such as those in Iran or North Korea are built on the idea of individual perfection. These systems place the individual as a mechanical part in the machine of society- a machine expected to never falter. Experience shared at the World Economic Forum, however, exposed this logic as false. The phenomenon is not only limited to authoritative regimes. It is a common perception in the west as well that the more we develop the capitalist system the happier individuals will be and the fewer crises will arise. The recent financial meltdown proved this approach to be equally untrue, respectful treatment of the individual considered apart.  

The other central message of the economic crisis panel stated that despite the inevitability of crises, the more we learn about them, the less frequently they will occur. In that respect, the human happiness module determined that even though it is never a constant, happiness tends to increase as one learns and gets older. These conclusions go against a common perception that systems and humans are efficient and bring satisfaction in their youth and become corrupt and miserable in old age.

The inevitability of crises and learning from experience directly relate to the fact that the system is still very much created and run by humans. This is at odds with the motto of the last decade that with the advance of technology, progress will be a sky-driven arrow on a graph. Thus, we must accept that human life and economic activity are bound to pass through difficult periods. This was and will remain the natural order of things.

How Vacations Affect Your Happiness

Christie Johnston for The New York TimesDo vacations make you happy?

Vacations are a chance to take a break from work, see the world and enjoy time with family. But do they make you happier?

Researchers from the Netherlands set out to measure the effect that vacations have on overall happiness and how long it lasts. They studied happiness levels among 1,530 Dutch adults, 974 of whom took a vacation during the 32-week study period.

The study, published in the journal Applied Research in Quality of Life,showed that the largest boost in happiness comes from the simple act of planning a vacation. In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation boosted happiness for eight weeks.

After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people. How much stress or relaxation a traveler experienced on the trip appeared to influence post-vacation happiness. There was no post-trip happiness benefit for travelers who said the vacation was “neutral” or stressful.”

Surprisingly, even those travelers who described the trip as “relaxing” showed no additional jump in happiness after the trip. “They were no happier than people who had not been on holiday,” said the lead author, Jeroen Nawijn, tourism research lecturer at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands.

The only vacationers who experienced an increase in happiness after the trip were those who reported feeling “very relaxed” on their vacation. Among those people, the vacation happiness effect lasted for just two weeks after the trip before returning to baseline levels.

“Vacations do make people happy,” Mr. Nawijn said. “But we found people who are anticipating holiday trips show signs of increased happiness, and afterward there is hardly an effect.”

One reason vacations don’t boost happiness after the trip may have to do with the stress of returning to work. And for some travelers, the holiday itself was stressful.

“In comments from people, the thing they mentioned most referred to disagreements with a travel partner or being ill,” Mr. Nawijn said.

The research controlled for differences among the vacationers and those who hadn’t taken a trip, including income level, stress and education. However, Mr. Nawijn noted that questions remain about whether the time of year, type of trip and other factors may influence post-vacation happiness.

The study didn’t find any relationship between the length of the vacation and overall happiness. Since most of the happiness boost comes from planning and anticipating a vacation, the study suggests that people may get more out of several small trips a year than one big vacation, Mr. Nawijn said.

“The practical lesson for an individual is that you derive most of your happiness from anticipating the holiday trip,” he said. “What you can do is try to increase that by taking more trips per year. If you have a two week holiday you can split it up and have two one week holidays. You could try to increase the anticipation effect by talking about it more and maybe discussing it online.”

Mr. Nawijn said that while he expected the study results to show a prevacation happiness boost, he was surprised that the study showed that relaxed holidays didn’t affect post-trip happiness levels.

“People start working again,” he said. “They have to catch up. Usually there is a big pile of work for them when they get back from the holiday.”
