Dr. Simone’s Mind Space

The Body Series Part I

Today, I’m in conversation with Alexandra Haas founder of Special Moments. This is the first episode in a series were we discuss the role of the body and our skin, as a place of sensuality.

 

Alex shared ways to get in touch with our body:

⁃Use your breath to be fully present

⁃Give or get a massage

⁃The power of a long hug

⁃Don’t hesitate to communicate your preferred way to be touched

⁃Treat your body like a temple

Get out and move

Exercising as part of the daily routine, has endless benefits for both body and mind. 

To get started is challenging, what to do to get going?

 

• Put sports in your calendar
• Exercise with a friend
• Instead of drinks, meet for a cycling class
• Enroll in a group activity
• Stick to your exercise routine
• 10min everyday is better than 2h once a week
• Reward yourself with a treat

Brilliant children and their challenges

One of the most common issues these children face are the consequences of their asynchronous development “many ages at once”. 

Some young, extremely gifted children have difficulty forming friendships, because their play is much more complex than that of most children. 

Generally, gifted toddlers, preschoolers, and children of all ages need more intellectual stimulation than other children do. This is often underestimated and not provided in schools.

 

Challenges of parents of extremely gifted children

Families of profoundly gifted children may grieve for some of the things they are missing – being able to freely share and compare a child’s accomplishments with other moms or dads at the playground; being able to provide their child with a “normal” school experience free from the distractions of seemingly endless meetings on how to adapt curriculum.

 

Options to meet a gifted child’s educational needs

• Early entrance to kindergarten or first grade
• Acceleration in one or more subject areas
• A mentor in an interest area
• Home enrichment or homeschooling; an individualized, self-paced educational program in one or more subjects
• Deep exploration of topics of individual interest
• Early admission to the gifted program (in most school systems, gifted programs don’t start until third grade)
• Cluster grouping with other gifted and highly gifted children in a regular classroom.
  Placement in a full-time, self-contained preschool or kindergarten for highly gifted children.

Female entitlement

How can we boost our confidence? 

Genuine female empowerment is when we feel entitled to say yes to ourselves. 

Entitled to set boundaries for our personal well-being. 

There’s nothing more sexy and seductive than a woman that knows what she wants, self-confident and able to play with all her feminine style energy. 

 

It’s the perfect combination of body and soul. 

The skin is the boundary to the outside world. It sets boundaries between the self and the other. Our skin reflects our mental state, our face the most important feature of our body. Any child recognizes the human face, as one of the fist aspects in life. 

The face a reflection of our sense of self. Treating it with care, respect, and genuine interest for its incredible ability to make us feel empowered and confident every day, is a skill and power we have within ourselves. That’s where a solid foundation of skincare and makeup comes in.

Conversation with Public Health Prof. Xu Biao

Today's episode is a conversation with my mentor and female professor in public health at Fudan University and Karolinska Institute, Prof. Xu Biao. She shared her insights in the development of women in China, the impact of the one child policy on gender equality, as well as her strong believe that women and men are intellectually equal. Prof. Xu Biao said: “Women being more attractive, when intellectually free.” She also emphasized that women should feel confident dressing feminine, no need to act like men. We’re unique for how we are as women, with all the facettes of it.

Burnout: A Human Condition

How many people don’t we know, if we haven’t experienced the feeling ourselves, who share symptoms of burn out? It’s a place of complete exhaustion, a feeling of being overwhelmed by the most simple task at hand. Burn out is experienced both mentally and physically. Often it’s a depressed feeling, a lack of energy, lethargy, accompanied with very low self-esteem, caused by exhausted self-destructive thoughts. 

 

How do we navigate through and out of a burnout? 

Causes of burn out can be many. Seeking help before it’s too late won’t hurt. It’s highly recommended to talk to a professional, if you experience feelings of burnout. 

 

Finding time for oneself is often an issue, lack of it in many cases leads to exhaustion. 

Difficulties in setting boundaries another. 

Conflicts and tension at home or in a work environment can trigger a person to the edge. 

 

How to prevent:

• Say no before it’s too late.
• Set boundaries for yourself and others.
• Stay physically and socially active.
• Be mindful of your sleep rhythm.
• Take one step at a time.
• Seek professional help.
