Leaving tiredness behind🚶🏻🧟


New beginnings are not easy at all; in fact, it is too hard for me to adapt to a new schedule and then a long period of no activity. The body must adjust to these recent changes and overcome resistance. Inside my mind, some thoughts make me feel exhausted. Often at the end of the work, I come to my house exhausted.


Habits make the person, and when we finally acquire a new habit, this is more probably to fight these struggles. Recently I was thinking about my life, how many times I surrendered without fighting, or how many times I have given up before reaching my objectives. Short answer, a lot of times.


To let behind the fatigue, I take a long walk while listening to some podcast or music; for thirty minutes, I lost and disconnected entirely from the world. That allows me to take a breath and be auto-critic with myself.


Exercise is something that lets me focus on myself and relax me, at the time I improve my physical condition. Practice gratitude is on my pending; I have to be more grateful to the people surrounding me to have the opportunity to prove myself and give me this responsibility.


It will not be easy; these 12 weeks will be a great challenge for me to prove my capacities, resilience, and mentality to solve problems and carry my life as usual as possible.


At the end of this journey, the experience I will acquire will be more valuable than all the money they can pay me to do this work. Looking at the retrospective, this only will be one more step in my life.

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...
