Hello, today I am here to tell you about a gift that we gave this week to the employees of the company where I work. the employees of the company where I work.
It is a kit full of self-esteem and optimism, which helps us to manage our emotions.
our emotions.
This kit seeks to help heal emotional wounds, treating them like any other wound that needs specific care and attention so that they do not become infected. that needs specific care and attention so that they do not become infected.
In every emotional or psychological first aid kit there are a series of elements that allow to elements that allow to take care of the emergency in the best way.
Ours contains six (6) elements or emotional tools that will help us to take care of our mental health. help us to take care of our mental health, and also includes a sheet of the use that we can give to each one of them.
- Un corazón (elaborado con foami): para que te ames a ti mismo y ames a los demás.
- Una liga (elástico): para acordarte de ser flexible ya que las cosas y las personas no siempre son de la manera como uno quiere que sean.
- Un caramelo (cualquier dulce): para que te alegre el día y te recuerde lo dulce que es la vida.
- Un borrador: para borrar de nuestra historia todo lo que nos haga daño.
- Un chicle (goma de mascar): para pegarte a todo lo bello de la vida
- Una semilla (usamos una semilla de girasol): para acordarte que tus acciones son una semilla que tarde o temprano darán sus frutos.
The elements are:
1. A heart (made with foami): to love yourself and love others.
2. A rubber band (elastic): to remind you to be flexible because things and people are not always the way you want them to be.
3. A piece of candy (any candy): to brighten your day and remind you how sweet life is.
4. An eraser: to erase from our history everything that hurts us.
5. A chewing gum: to stick you to all the beauty of life.
6. A seed (we use a sunflower seed): to remind you that your actions are a seed that sooner or later will bear fruit.
An important element that complements the whole emotional kit and can never be missing in our lives would be resilience. Which is the capacity we human beings have that allows us to face adversity, build, grow and learn through crisis. Which is a perfect element since in moments like these we must consciously strengthen it day by day.
And finally, we made a call for reflection to the workers by saying these words:
"We must learn to look at ourselves, to look inward, but also to look at others, from kindness, humility and humanity. Let us participate in this activity that recognizes and attends to their emotional needs. Let us break with the fear that paralyzes us, and let us mobilize ourselves towards change. Today, let's work on putting our emotional first aid kit into practice.
Personally, I did not think that this activity would be so well received by the workers, but when I saw their reactions and heard their comments after giving it to them, I was quite surprised, so I felt that all my work and effort had its fruits, its good reward.
Also when I was researching to be able to carry out this idea, I read that it is used a lot in children so that they learn to manage their emotions, there are a huge amount of elements that can be included in it, as is the case of the hugging gauze, so if you are a parent and you are reading me, I definitely recommend this type of activity.
Thank you very much for coming here, I hope you enjoyed it.
