The list of New Year's resolutions is widened at this time and is full of good intentions: lose weight, save, excel to get a better job, or quit the journey of dreams. It can also be just a step to raise what we can do have a better quality of life.
That is, our list can be enriched if we include what we can do to become more productive, how can we be more relaxed and at peace, and even how to leave behind the habits that no longer serve us.
Our list certainly could hit the other side of the coin, which shows that anxiety, stress and tension are constant in our daily lives. Experts in social psychology, psychotherapists, academics and scholars explain that this has been intensified by several phenomena.
The rampant unemployment and high demand from companies are factors that cause a high level stress. In addition, Mexican society is subject to other contexts such as consumerism and a high level of demand, which are models that come from outside, which is decorated with family traditions and religious beliefs that are sometimes positive and sometimes not, according with the dictates of social psychology.
experts consulted agree that we face an increasingly complex society with greater social pressure and high levels of violence, what we see on the news daily and who also happens in their own homes. Similarly, there is a crisis in the institutions and values.
These conditions are not exclusive to a particular group, but in this picture room for us all: adults, women, teens, seniors, housewives, business executives, professionals and children.
A recent study sponsored by the BBC television showed that 40% of a group of 1,000 children aged between six and 12 years was tense with work pressure experienced by their parents, before the recent economic crisis.
In Mexico, data from the Optimal Learning Institute for Human Development indicate that the pressure is quite similar in any of the groups. Today, for example, the public sector has the same pressure as private sector bodies, while the student community, although it is prepared to implement a test, fails due to factors internal and external pressure.
"It is a society that has increasingly been caught in the area of \u200b\u200bthe economy that has lost or is losing the joy that would be the antidote for all psychological ills," says Julio Yunes Kardan, a psychotherapist and director of the Institute of Synergy.
"Your first topic, the number one priority is not to have money. The number one priority I am as a person. Feel good. Priority number one (either) is employment, because I have a job to feel good and not vice versa. So there we lose a little perspective, just by anxiety, "says Younes, a broad knowledge of methods to combat stress.
Anxiety responds to a complex picture, which has social and educational roots and start from the home where the child is forbidden to show anger or disgust. The school makes you stronger and it reinforces the work environment: thus, in our workplaces we yield to surges generated us anguish, but let us not leave the activity for a period.
This contrasts with what happens with some breeds of animals such as lions, for example, that completely stop running or what they are doing when they see an imminent danger.
The speed with which we move in the West has led to a constant search for new paths, including Change Awareness Spaces. So a few years ago, several European cities determined to establish a contrast to fast food or fast food, and then bet on the contrary, to create slow and quiet towns.
funny thing is that the performance of the economies in these regions prospered, rather than fall. With mind and body relaxed, people made fewer errors in production processes. And in real life.
In a torrent of bad news, however, can also envision opportunities and methodologies that can lead to a transition, a transformation and optimal management time, which is known as positive revolution of change.
Jose Miguel Tafoya, director of the Institute for Optimum Learning, says that the crisis will also lead the individual to cope with feelings of anxiety and suffering and give way to self-knowledge and transformation.
Patient Diagnosis Based on several studies in the industry, Mexicans have a low tolerance to feel frustrated, so we usually ignore the problems and not analyzed or visualized.
"We were seeing the tree instead of seeing the forest," said Gabriel Ruiz, board member director of the Mexican Association for Mental Help in Crisis, AC
The specialist mentioned that Mexican society has two major influences: one that comes from the U.S. where the economy and consumption are constant, and the other Jewish-effect Christian on our religion and our beliefs.
"In the field of social psychology in Mexico we have two visions come to oppose. On one side is the consumer and secondly, support the theory of divine, you hold that God will provide. " Thus, in a plane, the company continues to maintain a paternalistic pattern, where people are waiting for life, the other, or government throw our hands. Therefore, there is a tendency to self-pity and self-indulgence.
At another level, we live the same hedonistic approach to our northern neighbor. Then everything should be easy, everything has to be fast, and has to be much.
conjugated scenarios mean that if I'm not having much is because the others are turning to hand me, says Ruiz. In addition, Mexican society experience the feeling of not having effective protection by the authorities, who, in the realm of facts, often abuse their power.
"As a society, culturally there is also a question about what role each one of us. The woman first question if you have children or if the first works. There is confusion in couples, as families begin to disintegrate, "says the specialist.
Almost 100% of the pictures of depression in humans is a problem of links going back to the relationship that exists between the infant and mother.
Alfredo Perez Venegas, a psychologist specializing in human development indicates that Mexican society has lost sight of goal setting, sometimes by the lack of role models. Without a goal in between, people get bored and therefore it is tedious to go to work, be with family, living with neighbors, or solve problems.
"More than a depression, which does exist, but at a slower rate, what we see is the lack of a connection to the best of oneself. We have the capabilities and potential, but we forget it, "said the expert, studied at the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara.
In recent cases, people are going for immediate results and the way they forget about the discipline, will and persistence. The challenge is to have longer term goals and beyond, as we see from the examples of people who have left their mark in science, economics, literature, etc, mentioned Pérez Venegas.
"If we have before us the sense of transcendence, otherwise we begin to matter less and less care about ourselves. So we headed to what I call a vegetative state, "he says.
Mexico has become common for students fail the exams because the bombardment of negative thoughts blocking your mind. Thus, this group needs to learn to relax, to create positive images and dialogue, to take a survey methodology. In short, you need to learn to learn, so that the promotion of education is essential.
Workplaces, in turn, lack of efficiency and creativity. "If the People are educated to do the right things, going to do well, but usually we set goals that kill. At the end of the day, companies come concerned about support, because there is no expected results, "says one of the experts consulted.
Effectiveness is doing the right thing, what the person must do to achieve what we want to achieve and the efficiency is to take care of the details.
"The issue is: develop your caseworker. A worker who pays you a unit in one year, three years later you'll probably be paying four units, it also simplifies the work experience, "said Yunes Kadan.
Experts agree that the pressure we put on our lives, we blurred vision and makes us unable to raise healthier scenarios. In the labor area, where there is a cut condition by people leaving, but more so among you fall, causing a vicious circle that starts with the anxiety and triggers several evils: inefficiency, loss of time, health problems.
The lack of creativity nor do we allow ourselves the chance that we can provide self-employment. And creativity is not to accept the world as it is, but ask what is needed to evolve and be better.
"People do not believe in living skills and worried, so you do not have the habit of being creative. As it does not, do not know how to confront. Unaware that, like any strength, intelligence, willingness and creativity can develop, "says Younes.

While the stress response is naturally in the body, when it reaches levels exaggerated emotion becomes distorted.
When we get stressed we speed, we lose control of emotions and started to breathe very fast, so to balance these pictures should be aware of what is going through deep breathing. Pérez
Venegas said that in the first hour of the morning people can visualize what they want to do throughout the day, which is an extremely important step. At night, we can review what we did and what we do and consider whether the lack of compliance with targets was in our hands or was caused by external factors.
"Time can not manage. It is something that is there and all we can do is get tasks or activities that keep us healthy. In large cities, traffic steals a lot of time, but you have the ability to nourish your mind listening to an audiobook or music that relaxes us, "he says. July

us raises the importance of body care, because no one can be productive if you're hungry and if you do not have energy. But the exercise is necessary, as is necessary to take breaks and sleep.
"In the future, the economy depends on efficient and effective to be learned. Learn, study and do not wait for the world will come to say what to do. Take responsibility for innovation and change what's already there. Making things simple, "said the expert.
Optimal Learning Institute proposes that managers of companies have this in its vision and mission to form a healthy environment, to make people want to belong a la organización. Para lograrlo se tienen que aplicar una serie de valores que incluyen el valor de la salud física, el de la salud mental y la salud espiritual, que se combinan con los valores de honestidad e integridad.
“Tiene que haber un compromiso muy serio desde la dirección general, desde los líderes. Provocar un cambio de mentalidad y llevarlo al músculo, al cuerpo, a la práctica, no nada más pegar una cartulina en la pared que nos recuerde en qué consiste la misión (de la empresa)” advierte el director de este centro, José Miguel Tafoya.
Gabriela Ruiz resalta la necesidad de poner atención a lo que se hace en el momento presente: si la persona está escribiendo, playing, talking, thinking hard about it, what is known as Mindfulness. Give also time for introspection, so that the person is observed and relax.
"I feel that flowed. Streaming means that I is simple. I'm like a dance, and besides I feel joy, "he says.
The Mexican Federation of Yoga recognizes that in the last five years, the discipline has become increasingly popular and now the interest is not exclusive to one group, as before.
"10 years ago there were very few people yes, for five it was mostly something that focused on women and today I think it is very light barrier. Still more women who practice it, but there are more men than before, older adults with problems of the joint and several young "indicates Fabien Lefebvre, director of content of the publications of the federation.
Mariana Emiko, vinyasa yoga teacher, dealing with the fluidity and body movement combined with breath control through dynamic sequences coincides with Julio Cruz, art director of the federation, in the sense that activity of growing interest among Mexicans is a place to pay attention to yourself.
"We live in a world used to look out, to meet expectations others, but we seldom pay attention to ourselves, and yoga gives you the space to work precisely with your own body, your mental states. From there you have much more awareness of yourself, which inevitably affects you feel better, "says Cruz.
The specialists in this field agree that although yoga has gained adherents because fashion is a kind of moving around in the background, the society also reflects the quest to be fine,
"What is important is the ultimate goal (of discipline), the state of union in all its phases: the spiritual, physical and mental, it's actually a practice processing "Emiko- added
