Personal Improvement Personal Improvement

few weeks ago, I bought the magazine Psychologies for some fun in the idle time when you're away from home. And I found an article that caught my attention, "I can not keep my good intentions."

I have often seen as some stuttering start therapy and after a while they give up. But why did you started?. Evidently that had started in order to improve their speech, and hence their quality of life, but for one reason or another, withdrew.

Now, well, what the article tells us not to give up to continue or start therapy?

I will transcribe some of key phrases I've seen.

"... the most common cause is simply not the lack of will, lack of habit to strive for anything and finish it successfully."

"Choice means having a clear goal, the steps to follow to achieve this, the assumption of the costs involved in starting up, the realistic consideration of advantages and disadvantages and, of course, have the means necessary to start changing in the desired direction. But it also might lack confidence in yourself, that despite having made a detailed analysis, consider the last time we will not to be able, we will not have the force of will. "

" To meet the expectations have to go through a series of phases that must be met. There are times without reaching the first, we want to achieve what we want, but not being on the point that we should be, the expectation is unrealistic and we are unable to comply. Then we try. "

I think for a person who has trouble following a therapy or start, the start should then, with little work. Spending a little time to therapy. So in this way, a small intruduce change in their daily lives, which is to improve their speech. Then, over time, could be increasing their time. Why are increasing iria? if it is progressing in therapy, the stutterer will be strengthened and their motivation will increase, thus, be more willing to invest more time.

Next, the article points out some points of what to do to not give up:

- Why I want to change?. Detailing the most of our objectives. And it is that motivation is internal to the individual and consistent with their values.


- Be realistic. Presenting the objectives one by one and not all at once. Do not be carried away.


- Have clear objectives. Knowing what to do and how.


- Respect your weak moments. There will always be moments of weakness, of reluctance, of abandonment. This is normal, changes occur gradually. We should allow these moments of weakness but of course taking the objective.

I think you can change, achieve goals, says the article, but Curran. The changes do not come alone. Nobody will come to you and put you in your hand the goals you want. Get them each and is in his hand.

Stuttering in Budapest



Stuttering in Budapest I am writing now from the Captain Hostel in Budapest.
3 years ago I wrote a post about my tartamdudez on vacation abroad, in this case was Norway. The resusmen the post was as follows:

Although I think I left something, I think in short-Advance
a negative reaction from the listener,
- will interrupt me for my bad English,
- thus, I have their 'approval'
- this will make my confidence in my speech decreases,
- then increased my stuttering, which,
- tendre negative reaction listener.

Now what is the situation?. Well, good question, let's see if well dispersed.
-Advance a reaction negative listener
I think now, I do not anticipate the negative reaction of the listener, but what remains to me is that advance the listener and / or I want a quick response to my speech. Thus, I still improve in no hurry to talk.
- will interrupt me for my bad English,
The fact that this feeling I have not, and if the need is minimal.
- thus, I have their 'approval'
increasingly less important. That is, the belief system is going to "should have his approval" to "I wish I had his approval ...", but it is not an obligation.
- this will make my confidence in my speech decreases,
Every time I have more confidence in my speech, and above all confidence that any lock can do well, but hey, we are gaining confidence as we have done things that before seemed impossible.
- will have the negative reaction of the listener.
is something that is not always true. Each listener, each person is different and their reaction and therefore also different.

In short, I think something has been improved from Norway. What good is it? yes, very good, but it has been a lot of dirty work behind and therefore do things that seemed difficult and hard, but we have done that we realized it was beneficial for us that we were going to feel better. Is it worth the penalty? for me, yeah, well, pretty much. Being on vacation and be relaxed and calm .... priceless, for other things ... ...;-)
