How to Improve Your English with 3 Small Shifts in Perception

Have you heard of the "Would you rather" game?
It's a party game in which one person presents a dilemma to another in the form of a question starting with "would you rather" (or prefer), and you need to choose between 2 attractive or difficult options, for example:
Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel room or camping surrounded by beautiful scenery? It is against the rules to answer "neither" or "both", and the idea is for the players to debate their rationales or reasoning as they think about and choose one of the options.
Sometimes, however, the choice is a "no brainer", something that doesn't require much thought, because it's easy to see which of the two answers is conducive to the best results, and when it comes to becoming proficient in English, what you're looking for is RESULTS, am I right?
So if I asked you this "would you rather" question, your answer would be obvious (this is a second conditional sentence, by the way, did you notice it?):
Would you rather continue struggling, feeling anxious, frustrated or stuck with your English progress, or make three small shifts in your perception of learning to make a huge difference to the way you move forward from now on?
I'm supposing you'll choose the latter or second option. Watch today's video to find out what these slight shifts are:

La meditación - preguntas y respuestas

Image
La intención es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboración entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podrían surgir en relación a la práctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales trataré de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero además me encantaría que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, trataré de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿Cómo funciona y para qué sirve la meditación? 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 práctica de la meditación es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son múltiples y de gran profundidad - científicamente compr...

Happy New Year!

Hello! Let's start by talking about intention first. Dawn is a great time to reflect upon and lay out one's intentions for the day, and what better time than the dawning of a brand New Year to set out one's intentions for the 12 months ahead. So what are my aspirations for 2017? Well - basically - more of the same, really - please 😊 By this I mean: 1) More teaching - not in quantity but in continuation. I love my job 💖 2) More practising - sitting, walking, eating - more integration of the practice into my life overall - P.S. more kindness 🙏 2) More sharing - here I do mean quantity, hence this brand new blog.

On Acceptance

Remember Supernanny Jo Frost and her catchphrase, "that's unacceptable"? "Unacceptable behaviour" was one of the countless things I learnt about during the decade I lived in the UK back in the noughties. When it comes to adults, the matter of accountability for one's behaviour became a fundamental piece of understanding, as if my entire life up until then had transpired in an incongruent, incomplete jigsaw puzzle without any awareness of it, and I'd suddenly found sufficient pieces to make much more sense of the whole. There was such joy, such happiness in this understanding, such relief, in fact, because here, in Latin America in general and in Mexico in particular, those pieces are simply missing. There's no rule of law here. In these parts of the world, we still rely heavily on religion for the teaching and learning of moral and ethical conduct, and the government's function is... well... far removed from the question of justice . A c...
