There is something about coffee shops for me... I love how they bring people together, I love when they are done well. This one had a cute book about making the best coffee at home
(Chemex is my favorite at-home way). Would love to see one about making the best coffee while camping!
Just a quick post today to bring up some themes I'll be exploring in some upcoming posts:
Stimulus-Response vs. Stimulus-Organism-Response. This came up in my interview with Kelly Harris of Warriors Heart, where we discussed the difference between internal and external triggers. A great comment I saw the other day on this was to recognize the difference and to stop and ask yourself why you feel a certain way as a strategy for adding more cognitive flexibility to our responses. As I mentioned in my last video, I'll be going covering the cognitive realm of emotion regulation soon
In some family dynamics I've seen come up recently, I've noticed that as important as it is to have compassion for others, we also do need to honor our own boundaries. Sometimes a person we are interacting with may continue to resort to the same strategies they've used for a long time that can weigh on us heavily - and by not having boundaries with that person, we keep ourselves in that repetitive and unhealthy dynamic.
Will cover some basic pillars of early childhood learning and development, including some frameworks that help with encouraging longer time periods focused on one activity. At the Institute for Prevention Science at NYU, part of my fieldwork was developing the toddler program - where we implemented a 5-point model for helping kids build attention skills. (I tried them out yesterday with my friend's daughter and worked well, just as it had in the program).
Have a beautiful Sunday!
With Love from Me to You
