Choices




While writing this post, I have in my head what kind of week I'm going to have, problems and possible solutions that I could do. Of course, it can sound exacerbated, but I'm the kind of person who plans everything with anticipation.


These thoughts made me a methodic person and sometimes a kind of robot who never rests. The following week is still incoming, but I was concerned about the future. It is something I have tried to fix: being concerned about things that probably never happen.


Recently I have found that problems can happen at all moments. It's not necessarily a bad thing; it is just that life it is. Wasting time about overthinking and concerning is one of the worst decisions I can make. It is entirely unnecessary and drains my energy and focus.


Life is based on choices, and when we are conscious of that, we have the responsibility and the freedom to make the best decisions about our wellness. So, decide what time you want to spend dedicated to overthinking the future or maybe invest that time in improving your next movements.


A little reminder, we have passed the half of this year, and it's time to remember what we have reached. I'm satisfied with what I learned and achieved throughout this year. It has been a year full-filled of experiences and many good things to be thankful for.

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...
