Positive Changes



Last month, I decided to make some changes in my life, after several months of stagnation and doubts about my life, I started to delete what I considered unnecessary.


The first step was deleting social media, I was wasting my time on consuming tons of media content, videos, posts, and photos, and scrolling on my phone to feel something. Although there were times when a video or a post made me realize certain things or helped me on some occasions, most of the time I was there just to waste my time.


Initially, it cost me to adapt to these new changes, but over time, I felt less tired, more motivated, and even more focused on important things rather than just venal things. I recognize those changes led me to loneliness and isolation, but at the same time forced me to interact more with the real world.


The second change was about doing activities outdoors, For a while I was doing exercise in my home, doing the same routine and having zero interaction with the exterior. It helped me to avoid wasting my money when I needed to save.


But recently I started to feel stressed out and overwhelmed, I started going out and doing things that involved interacting with other people, and one of the biggest changes I made was returning to the gym.  This change helped me to get out of my house, and be in touch with other people.


Ordering my bedroom was something I was repeating since I changed my room until I finally found the perfect order, now I have a better distribution of space, my things are in order, and I am proud of it.


Finally, one of the biggest changes I made was starting to speak English. It was a pending I was avoiding just for the fear of speaking in a foreign language and making mistakes. But now, I have the equipment to record myself and enjoy while I doing it.


This last thing then led me through several other improvements like starting my business, knowing the importance of publicity and marketing, how to speak properly and graphic designs among other things.

 

Undoubtedly, these series of changes have improved my life for the better, though I'm still constantly changing now I'm aware of the power of little improvements in my daily 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...
