Some time ago, when I was living in New York at the time, I went for one brunch with jazz in it Café Loup del Village. There I saw for the first time, framed on a wall, The Decalogue of the Wolfvery inspiring for a healthy and fulfilled human life.
Respect the elderlysays the first law, and Teach the young, says the other. Let’s remember what Arthur C. Brooks suggested in his book From strength to strength when talking about the two halves of life: the first is to shine, the second to inform those who come behind.
Cooperation with the herdsays another law, followed by Play when you can. We must not only connect with others to work, but also to celebrate life together y rest from effortas recommended by the Decalogue of the Wolf.
the value of playing in a group
The adults who know disconnect through healthy play, especially when in a group, enjoy more psychological benefits. In addition to honing your cognitive skills and bonding with others, playing makes it easier state flow. When we immerse ourselves in a game of chess or any board game, our five senses are there, which is a good antidote to multitasking.
If it’s a team game, we have that too group cooperation which the creed speaks of. Three keys to the wolves in a single activity.
Share and never stop howling
These admirable animals also follow the rules Share your lovesomething they regularly practice in the herd, and Express your feelings. We identify the latter with the lone wolf howling at the moon. Maybe we don’t understand what he means, but he expresses himself from the bottom of his heart, like a human being. when he writes a poem or otherwise express your feelings.
This is a balm for mental and spiritual health. It is like releasing water from a spring so that it does not remain stagnant and rot. As soon as we express – in any way – what we feel, we distance ourselves and can understand what we experience.
He psychiatrist Phil Stutz pony at the top of the healing pyramid the howl of the human, though reflected in a notebook with a pen.
How do you want to be remembered?
It is estimated that some who practice record keepingas it is now called keep a diary, you will write between 300 and 700 pages per year on average. That It is a full-fledged therapy.since the laptop is a mirror of every important moment and allows you to reduce problems and solve them better.
The Decalogue of the Wolf ends with Make your mark, as the culmination of a life well lived. What memory and legacy will we leave in others? That will be our footprint.
And revealing exercise es write our life story from the present moment to the day of our death. So You want to know how you want to be remembered, and therefore how to live.
When you know how you want to be remembered, you discover what kind of life you want and what actions you should take to make it happen.
Exercise: a letter addressed to your future self
