I: Good morning few years ago, the teacher José Miguel Romero de Solís , in an article in Millennium, asked " what time they think those who govern us? ". From ribbon cuttings, hearings, meetings, deliveries of checks and diplomas, press conferences and interviews sidewalk, along with many other public and semi-private lessons (in some areas, privacy is an illusion), what time a governor, for example, is given time to Calmly and without microphones over, really think? Is it the thought that our leaders exercise practice? To this I add another question, pointing to the same place: our leaders take time to work on their own physical and mental health, and maintaining emotional balance? Just as we want a president to allow space for reflection, that reflection is ideal , And the actual work of governing-occur under the best possible personal welfare decision-maker. The mysterious words of today are thinking, governing, somatic.
II: Snow on the roof
On March 4, 2009, the New York Times was noted that in only 44 days of assuming the presidency of the United States, the head of Barack Obama had c

For the reporter Helene Cooper, "the changes on their temples are dotted with evidence that perhaps the psychological and physical stress of labor, not to mention the long process of winning, are in fact passing true bill. " A medical study of the creator of RealAge concept ensures that, during their terms, American presidents real age at a rate double the rest of us. The exercise of wear, and need not be a hawk to notice: the rulers get away with less hair, more gray hairs, more wrinkles, and worse health than they entered. The character, inevitably, change.
Those who hold an elective office are subject to particular pressures and unstable schedules, no fixed meal times, constant stress, and, above all, a high demand for their ability to be in many parts at the same time, metaphorically speaking. The governing sleep little, and some particularly bad (some find solace in keeping rulers spurred his subordinates through phone calls at odd times.)
A human subject to these requirements must have a support plan in order to function properly. Not only about having a suitable feeding regime and physical, but a fully maintaining mental and emotional balance: a president under stress, with little capacity to manage their emotions and temperament prone to angry, end up taking poor decisions and doing a job counterproductive: there have to Calderon.
Instead, an agent who takes time to reflect, to observe himself, to streamline their physical and mental processes (or somatic, using the modern meaning of the term, used by Feldenkrais and other students of potential human) and mental health care will work best for themselves and for others, and not just be a better leader, but also a human being happier.
