Perfectionism is the enemy of happiness 🍂

 Perfectionism is the enemy of happiness 🍂


Since I've struggled with several problems with anxiety and stress, I have realized that one of the key factors contributing to worse this conduct was my obstinacy sense of doing everything 'perfect'. I had the wrong idea that I could do all my purposes before the time and without no errors.

These thoughts gave me more problems than solutions, I started to fantasize about a perfect reality, I was a dreamer who thoughted everything could be solved with maximum effort. Again, I was wrong, In fact, the time when I was at college I didn't enjoy it at all because for this reason, carry on me all these hard weights on my shoulders trying to highlight to the rest of the people.

Even when I was doing other activities that idea started to round my head, with all thoughts related to anxiety. In those times, I had to maintain a scholarship that supposes I had to have better notes and do projects. I did it all, but what it was the cost that I had to pay for it.

Perfectionism can be an obstacle instead of a tool to improve yourself if you are concentrated on doing all right and without errors rather than enjoying the things you love, at the long way it can result in overwhelming and frustration. 

Procure to balance your life profession and hobbies, instead of only focusing on one isolated thing, remember that you are the sum of your success and failures, these seconds can result to be better teachers than the first.

And by the end, your success is not determined by only your career, so relax and let the things come to time. Go out to run, find inspiration in nature, practice respect and be resilient.

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
