These days, due to work and various responsibilities, it is often difficult to spend quality time with our children.

There is no use spending a lot of time at home if you don’t really share time together. Family time means sharing and looking for an activity that everyone can enjoy, it can be a board game for young and old, playing hide-and-seek in the park, singing a children’s song, telling them a story … It is also important Talk to your children, ask them what they did that day, what new things they learned, what they liked the most. This space is very valuable for children and they keep it in mind throughout their lives.
Likewise, the amount of time is also important, the times that they can repeat these experiences and the constancy of these spaces will be those that mark the continuity of the presence of parents in their lives, if they can count on them and they are there when they need them .

Salir de nuestra zona de confort

En psicología la zona de confort se refiere a un estado mental donde la persona utiliza conductas de evitación del miedo y la ansiedad en su vida diaria, utilizando un comportamiento rutinario para conseguir un rendimiento constante sin asumir ningún riesgo, es decir, con el “piloto automático”. Es un espacio personal compuesto de estrategias y actitudes que utilizamos a menudo y con las que nos sentimos confortables, instalándose en nuestra manera de actuar porque nos sentimos seguros. Es una zona que sólo abarca lo conocido, ese ambiente donde estamos a gusto y  nos hace sentir seguros porque todo está bajo nuestro control, pero la pasividad y la rutina provoca apatía y vacío existencial, impidiendo el crecimiento personal al renunciar a tomar iniciativas que ensanchen los límites de esa zona. El bienestar que se siente no es producto de la satisfacción o el orgullo personal, sino de la ausencia de emociones negativas como la incertidumbre o la inseguridad al refugiarnos en nuestro entorno conocido. La zona de confort también es trabajar en algo simple en un entorno seguro sin querer promocionarse, o mantener una relación que da seguridad a pesar de estar a disgusto. En el siguiente video vamos a ver un poco de inspiración frente a la zona de confort y como podemos salir de ella.

Leave your comfort zone

In psychology, the comfort zone refers to a mental state where the person uses fear and anxiety avoidance behaviors in their daily life, using a routine behavior to achieve constant performance without assuming any risk, that is, with the “pilot automatic». It is a personal space made up of strategies and attitudes that we use often and with which we feel comfortable, settling in our way of acting because we feel safe. It is an area that only encompasses the known, that environment where we are comfortable and makes us feel safe because everything is under our control, but passivity and routine cause apathy and existential emptiness, preventing personal growth by renouncing to take initiatives that expand the limits of that area. The well-being that is felt is not the product of satisfaction or personal pride, but of the absence of negative emotions such as uncertainty or insecurity when taking refuge in our known environment. The comfort zone is also working on something simple in a safe environment without wanting to promote yourself, or maintain a relationship that gives security despite being unhappy. In the next video we are going to see a little inspiration in front of the comfort zone and how we can get out of it. You can find the english caption in the video.
