Emotional Hygiene
Two days ago I watched a Ted talk about this topic. The lecturer was a man who has a twin and it's crazy to know that but both of them studied the same career, psycology....
This lecturer (you have to forgive me because I'm so bad at learning names,) tells how since we are kids at a very young age, our parents teach us to care our bodies, to take a shower, brush our teeth, if we got a small injure to put a band-aid to stop the blood and to cover the area to avoid any infection and so on, I'm pretty sure you can remember dozens of more things like that.
But what about our brain? At the other hand our parents don't teach us how to recover from our failures, loneliness, deceptions, broken hearts. Why is it possible that the system teach us to care our bodies but not our brains?
When I thought about it I said yeah, like it is a very obvious thing, but it is not obvious to our education system in homes and schools unfortunately.
The psycology states that it is more important our mental hygyene than the physical of course and I can add that we would be better human beings if our parents give the same attention they give to our bodies to teach us how to manage anger, sad, failures, deception, etc. But I guess we avoid the involved issues because they are really hard to explain and teach, like it is way easy to explain that there's a God who created the world than the physical laws.
I think it is time to change that mistake, the body can't be more important than the body, the future succesful of kids depend on their brains and not only that, the future of our societies. I woul like to find in close years companies like Bodytech but they were Mindtech, with the same prices of course so every one can go!

Emotional Hygiene
Two days ago I watched a Ted talk about emotional hygiene. The lecturer was a man who has a twin and it was crazy to learn that both of them studied the same career--psychology.This lecturer (you have to forgive me because I'm so bad at learning names), explained that from the time we are kids at a very young age, our parents teach us to care for our bodies--to take a shower, brush our teeth, put a band-aid on an injury to stop the bleeding, and to cover the area to avoid any infection and so on. I'm pretty sure you can remember dozens more examples like that.
But what about our brain? On the other hand our parents don't teach us how to recover from our failures, loneliness, deceptions, or broken hearts. How is it possible that this system teaches us to care for our bodies but not our brains? When I thought about it I said, "Yeah," because it is a very obvious thing, but it is not, apparently, obvious to our education system in homes or in schools, unfortunately.
Psychology experts state that it is more important to care for mental hygiene than our physical needs, of course. I would add that we would be better human beings if our parents gave the same attention they give to our bodies, to teaching us how to manage anger, sadness, failures, deception, etc. But, I guess people avoid these more complicated issues because they are difficult to explain and teach, just as it's much easier to explain that there's a God who created the world, than to explain all of the physical laws of nature.
I think it is time to change that mistake. The body can't be more important than the mind. The future success of not only our kids, but the future of our societies depends on their brains. I would like to see, in the near future, companies like Bodytech that focused on the mind instead of the body. Perhaps we could name it Mindtech--with the same prices, of course, so every one can go!
I'm sorry the paragraphs look weird. For some reason, when I cut and paste something and then edit it, it breaks up the sentences in a weird way. So, don't pay attention to that. Just pay attention to the spelling and other changes I made.
Good job in your writing! There are many different ways to write a story. This is how I would edit yours. Good job!
