Segundo Dia

Ok our second day at work was a disaster. What a complete waste of time. The whole staff had to endure a professional development session on relaxation and meditation techniques. Don't get me wrong it's not that I completely deny the power of the mind and the effects of meditation, it's just that my cynicism is fed by people who has no depth and no knowledge but because they like the smell of candles and the easy apparent way out of modern hippysm they think that teaching meditation revolves around being tactile and taking deep breaths. C'mon get real, just because you put a Tibetean cd and walk around very slowly doesn't mean that when stressful times hit your life you will be able to cope better. That is what we were taught today, when you are stressed, identify what you are feeling and squeeze an object...Oh and don't forget to laugh really hard and stupidly because you may win a cd! Like I did. After that stupid P.D. session Linda and I did some real work in our room like holding the number chart for the photo. That was all we had time for. Hope tomorrow gets better.

Que dia al pedo por dios! Todo el staff tuvo que bancarse una sesion de mediacion y relajacion. La verdad no es que yo completamente descrea el poder de la mente y los efectos de la meditacion. Lo que pasa es que uno se pone un poco cinico cuando los que presentan el tema no saben nada y no tienen ninguna profundidad, pero ponen un cd de musica tibeteana y prenden una vela y se piensan que con esa simpleza se arregla todo. Eso es lo que apredi hoy, cuando estas estresado identifica que es lo quee estas sintiendo, respira hondo y apreta un objeto...ah y no te olvides de reirte fuerte y estupidamente porque eso te puede hacer ganar un premio. Como gane hoy yo! Despues de esa sesion Linda y yo nos fuimos al aula a trabajar en serio como esta foto lo demuestra (solo nos quedo tiempo para posar para la foto. Espero que manana sea mejor. Hoy 43 grados, manana 43 grados....esto es un fuego!
