From SMART to SMARTER Goals for Easy and Joyful English Transformation


Here are some reasons why goal-setting to improve your English skills might not have worked for you so far:

馃毇 you're not sure about how to set goals

馃毇 your goals appear to be unrealistic and you don't believe it's possible to achieve them.

馃毇 your goals are too vague, and you don't have anyone to guide you or a PROVEN METHOD to reach them

馃毇 you believe your goals need to be difficult for real progress to be made

馃毇 you set goals that are unpleasant and unappealling

馃毇 you aren't consistent in maintaining motivation to achieve your goals

If you relate to any of these statements, it's no wonder that you feel a sense of frustration and stagnation.

BUT...!

What if I told you that all of the above are false perceptions?

What if I said - and PROVED - that what seems unthinkable is definitely possible, and you absolutely can reach your English goals?

In today's video, you'll learn about the acronym SMART goals, including a few examples you might want to consider, and then how to make those goals SMARTER.

馃數 Learn what you need to think about when you set goals to improve your English

馃數 Learn how to achieve even the most apparently unrealistic goals

馃數 Learn how to be concise and explicit when you set your goals

馃數 Learn to relax into wherever you are with your English RIGHT NOW, knowing things change

馃數 Learn how to ENJOY every step of the way through clarity of direction and understanding of wider perspectives

Discover the Benefits of Joining a Book Club in English

  The CET Book Club is starting soon! And what could be a better way of starting a Book Club in English -  for speakers of other languages at intermediate (B1) level or above -  than by reading the transformational gem,  The Art of Communicating , by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, live on zoom together? Very often, students and clients report that although they understand it very well, they feel stuck, anxious or unable to communicate in English satisfactorily, leading to a strong sense of loss of opportunity in their professional contexts. Part of the reason for this might be what I refer to as  undernourished English , that is, insufficient exposure to English through reading and listening.  The CET Book Club in English will address this directly by offering you the opportunity to develop your English language skills through the option of reading the corresponding chapter first, and then by following the transcript as you listen to one of us reading it out loud live during our weekly me

  I completed the Inner MBA over the weekend!  Well done, me! ⭐️ But wait! Don't go. Before clicking "Like" and moving on, read about how earning this Certificate is interconnected with The Eight Worldly Winds . What are The Eight Worldly Winds? According to Buddhist teachings, our human nature necessarily means that we will all experience, at one time or another, being " blown about " (that's deeply affected in the moment) by the Eight Worldly Winds (or Conditions): gain and loss status and disgrace (or success and failure) praise and censure (or praise and blame) pleasure and pain This is great news when the Winds brings gain, status/success, praise and pleasure, but not so good when they carry loss, disgrace/failure, censure/blame, or pain. We all try to find ways of reducing our distress when the winds of the world bring devastating storms of suffering to our doorstep. It is our natural instinct to protect ourselves from the pain of the four (unpleasant

La meditaci贸n - preguntas y respuestas

La intenci贸n es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboraci贸n entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podr铆an surgir en relaci贸n a la pr谩ctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales tratar茅 de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero adem谩s me encantar铆a que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, tratar茅 de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿C贸mo funciona y para qu茅 sirve la meditaci贸n? Bueno, es importante aclarar que aunque hayan muchos beneficios, los practicantes no meditamos con ese fin, o sea que al sentarnos no hay una meta por alcanzar, sino que nos sentamos porque disfrutamos de hacerlo. Simple y sencillamente, meditamos porque nos gusta. Lo cual no significa que no resulten importantes beneficios . Al contrario, la pr谩ctica de la meditaci贸n es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son m煤ltiples y de gran profundidad - cient铆ficamente compr
