Put heart in your brain: understand your emotions to live better

Ernesto Sábato once said that a good writer must know how to express great things with small words. In Put heart to your brainthe book we have created in The mind is wonderful, we aspire to something more. We seek above all, to express and transmit useful things with simple words, to be helpful with familiar words, to leave on each page an effective resource for each moment of need.

Giving shape to any book, whatever its theme, always arouses a curious combination of fear and passion.. There is a touch of fear in not knowing if the idea you have in mind can work. However, when you have enthusiasm and a clear vision of what you want to achieve, the work becomes easier. To this is added an even more powerful ingredient: commitment, the one we had with each of our dear readers in this space.

Both Gema Sánchez Cuevas, director of The mind is wonderful and whoever is writing to you now, we knew from the beginning what the theme of this work that came to light in January of this same year should be.. If we choose emotions it is basically because that continues to be our eternal pending account.. Emotions are our stronghold and our language, a primordial code that we still do not understand and master effectively.

Each of us are more than our jobs, our families, a physical envelope and a set of interconnected cells that give shape to tissues and organs. The human being is above all his emotions and his feelings; Knowing how to use these wonderful universes to our advantage is what establishes authentic psychological well-being. And that is our aspiration and purpose with this book.

Put heart in your brain: a journey to the world of emotions

Something that we know well from the field of Psychology is that our society’s attention to mental health is far from ideal. From The mind is wonderful We understand that transmitting information, teaching, bringing the world of neuroscience, personal growth or psychological disorders closer is therapeutic.. It is also useful.

Something that is also evident is that rates of stress, anxiety and depression are increasing. Our world is changing rapidly, suspended in a state of perpetual uncertainty while each of us lives in an accelerated manner.

Discomfort, frustration and the feeling of emptiness increase. Negative feelings are medicated because we do not tolerate them, because we do not understand them.…And the only thing we are looking for is to stop suffering and with a little luck, sleep better at night.

Much of this reality is due above all to our inability to connect and understand emotions and feelings.. All of them support well-being. They are the platform for our behaviors, decisions and social relationships.

A purpose that is a journey: to become a competent person in emotional matters

Each of us can be highly competent in our jobs. We can have several university degrees and lead one or ten companies and still have the same emotional competence as a three-year-old child.

At the hour of writing Put heart to your brain, We were clear that to improve our literacy in this matter, we had to take the reader by the hand on a very specific journey.. One that had the following stops:

Identify in what aspects we fail and that in some way make us emotionally illiterate.Understand what emotions are and what feelings are.Understand, accept and manage dimensions such as anxiety, anger, sadness, shame, fear, frustration…Understand how emotions affect our body.Use emotions to our advantage to improve social relationships, communication…

Put heart to your brain, a book that is a kit of exercises

Good emotion management comes to nothing if there is no commitment. What’s more, it is of no use to us to understand information on this subject if we do not apply it, if we do not find a specific strategy that can help us.

In Put heart to your brain, we were clear that it was essential that the book have practical use. Hence, on its pages we can find the following:

Each chapter is accompanied by a kit of simple exercises with instructions, steps and recommendations.There are resources to manage different moods, to reduce anxiety, understand how certain emotions act, activities to improve emotional communication, assertiveness, empathy, etc.

More than happiness… aspires to Psychofullness

Something that we kept in mind from the beginning is that we did not want to create just another self-help book.. We were not looking to create another manual on how to learn to be happy. Above all, we sought to provide each person who immerses themselves in this reading with skills to invest in their psychological well-being through emotions. Always from a rigorous and scientific point of view, and that is psychoplenitude.

Psychofullness is achieved when we feel good about who we are and what we have. That is true happiness.The reader will be able to develop this competence by learning to face adversity, daily stress and worries with effective resources.

From The mind is wonderful We aspire, above all, to offer a simple and useful tool to anyone who needs it.Put heart to your brain,available in our online storethe emotions.You might be interested…
