It sometimes feels like I suffer from permanent 'emotigo'. I find if I can't get rid of something, then taking pride in it at leasts alleviates some of the self-induced suffering. For example, 'emotigo' makes me emotionally dizzy. This may not be optimal but at least I can take pride in my ability of not falling down. Look at me! I'm still standing. :) If you ever discover a cure, please share it with me. It sometimes feels like I suffer from permanent ‘emotigo’.

Observing emotions rather than being controlled by them... understanding that emotions come and go... sometimes I do that, and other times, I let emotions run me. I do enjoy emotion, though. Thanks for the invite to talk about teaching in the USA - I will try to read the blog you recommended - I have a little Spanish, so maybe I will catch on - it's definitely a subject that is of deep interest to me. Maybe I'll write about teaching manana. :) I do believe that emotions can be difficult – I have been trying to do what my good friend (who is a therapist) recommends, which is to notice the emotions and say to myself, oh, that’s interesting… Observing emotions rather than being controlled by them… understanding that emotions come and go… sometimes I do that, and other times, I let emotions run me.

Emotion is something that just turn our life into misery. We should be neutral and look for other way of life. If you have a chance, read any book of both of them. You will love it. Other thing: thanks so much for commenting on my NaBloPoMo effort at themoviesonthetable.wordpress.com. I read you are an educator. You should try Educadoresurbanos.wordpress.com - but you have to read in Portuguese as it is written in this language. Even if you cannot read in Portuguese, try something that is in English language there and be my guest to write something for Brazilian readers about Education at our blog. I will translate it to the readers. What about talking about how is an USA teacher´s life? In Brazil, we could say it is miserable. They have no support and they have strong demands from society nowadays. So, consider yourself duly invited.
