Has it ever happened to you that you wake up with no desire to do it but you still take action to start your day? It happened to me today. Some may call it the Monday syndrome 馃檮. A sort of post-weekend hangover.
It can be times when only your motivations keep you connected to the self-imposed dynamic. It is said that where motivation fails, it is necessary to have the willpower at hand to continue on the path of self-improvement.
This requires self-discipline. Overcome the I can't, I don't want to, I don't feel like it today, nothing will happen for one day that I don't do it, etc. Something like that little 馃槇 on your right shoulder inciting you to give up for a while in the proposed endeavor.
Te ha sucedido que te levantas sin ganas de hacerlo pero a煤n as铆 tomas acci贸n para iniciar tu d铆a? Hoy me sucedi贸 as铆. Algunos pueden llamarlo el s铆ndrome del lunes 馃檮. Una especie de resaca post fin de semana.
Pueden ser momentos en los solo tus motivaciones te mantienen conectado a la din谩mica auto impuesta. De dice que ah铆 donde la motivaci贸n falla, es preciso tener a mano a la voluntad para seguir en el camino de la autosuperaci贸n.
Para ello es preciso autodisciplinarse. Vencer los no puedo, no quiero, hoy no tengo ganas, por un d铆a que no lo haga no pasar谩 nada, etc. Algo as铆 como ese peque帽o 馃槇 en tu hombro derecho incitando a abandonar por un rato en el empe帽o propuesto.
Luckily, with hard work and determination you can create the necessary belief system about yourself that will allow you to regulate your behavior in favor of yourself and your goals. It is then necessary to place on your left shoulder 馃槈 your best version.
However this best version today kind of was hungover too. He didn't seem as strong as usual but his like that has his tricks up his sleeve. As soon as I perceived that state I got up and searched my playlist for a great song: Believer, by Imagine Dragons.
Why this song? Simple. I've learned that the valuable things in life are not reached by flat roads. Discomfort is inherent in life. I believe that this dissatisfaction is what drives us towards development.
Por suerte, con trabajo duro y empe帽o se puede crear el sistema de creencias necesario acerca de uno mismo que te permita regular tu comportamiento a favor de uno mismo y sus objetivos. Es preciso entonces colocar en tu hombro izquierdo a 馃槈 tu mejor versi贸n.
Sin embargo est谩 mejor versi贸n hoy como que estaba de resaca tambi茅n. No parec铆a tan fuerte como de costumbre pero su as铆 tiene sus trucos debajo de la manga. Enseguida que percibo ese estado me levant茅 y busque en mi lista de reproducci贸n un temazo: Believer, de Imagine Dragons.
Por que est谩 canci贸n? Simple. He aprendido que a las cosas valiosas de la vida no se llega por caminos llanos. La incomodidad es inherente a la vida. Creo que esa insatisfaccion es la que nos impulsa hacia el desarrollo.
The first time I listened to Believer I liked it but I didn't attribute to it the meaning it has for me today. At first I interpreted it more as an invitation to rebel against those who try to hurt you. I was not very attracted to the sense I found in it.
However, its catchy rhythm remained tattooed in my memory. I kept listening to it and finally began to interpret it in a different way. It was still an incitement to not let myself be defeated but no longer against an external enemy but a rebellion against my fears, my laziness, the tendency to stay in the comfort zone.
It is a theme that invites you to embrace the pain, to channel the energy that arises in that state and use it for your own growth. Listening to her made me reflect on some events in my life.
La primera vez que escuch茅 Believer me gust贸 pero no le atribuir el sentido que tiene hoy para m铆. Al principio la int茅rprete m谩s como una invitaci贸n a la rebeli贸n en contra de quien trata de hacerte da帽o. No me atrajo mucho el sentido que le encontr茅
Sin embargo, su ritmo pegajoso se me qued贸 tatuado en la memoria. Segui escuch谩ndola y por fin la comenc茅 a interpretar de otro modo. Segu铆a siendo una incitaci贸n a no dejarme vencer pero no ya contra un enemigo externo sino una rebeli贸n en contra de mis miedos, de mi pereza, de la tendencia a permanecer en la zona de confort.
Es un tema que te invita a abrazar el dolor, a canalizar la energ铆a que surge en ese estado y utilizarla para el propio crecimiento. Escucharla mi hizo reflexionar sobre algunos acontecimientos de mi vida.
Examining some of my experiences in the light of these words, I found the satisfaction of overcoming myself much more comforting than that of imposing myself on another person. It is much more difficult to conquer oneself, says Confucius. Believer puts me on the right path. That's why I turn to it in times of lows or simply when I notice that I've lost focus on my goals.
But I don't just turn to Imagine Dragons. How the web algorithm cascades you from one option to another I found several covers on instrumentals. All of them spectacular versions. Below is a piano version by Francesco Patrono, simply spectacular 馃憞:
Examinando algunas de mis vivencias a la luz de esta letra, encontr茅 mucho m谩s reconfortante la satisfacci贸n que me genera sobreponerme a mi mismo que la de imponerme a otra persona. Es mucho m谩s dif铆cil conquistarse a uno mismo, reza Confucio. Believer me pone en el camino correcto. Por eso recurro a ella en momentos de baj贸n o simplemente cuando noto que he perdido el enfoque en mis metas.
Pero no solo recurro a Imagine Dragons. C贸mo el algoritmo de la web te lleva en cascada de una opci贸n a otra encontr茅 varios covers en instrumental. Todos versiones espectaculares. Debajo te dejo una version a piano, de Francesco Parrino, simplemente espectacular 馃憞:
