Hello hivers! First of all I want to send a greeting to all the communities that give life to the world of Hive and congratulate them for this 3rd anniversary of the platform, because without each of them, Hive would not be what it is today and means for all the people who use this medium which allows us to create, explore our imagination and share with each of you wonderful experiences. I also want to salute the@holos-lotus community for allowing us to expose those experiences that help us grow in many areas of our lives.
This time I want to talk about several things that I have been changing in my routine and that I set out to accomplish with determination and discipline. I don't know if you are the type of person who creates a monthly plan with the goals you want to achieve or make some kind of schedule to get organized and accomplish weekly activities. Honestly, I was not one of those people who did it, however this year I decided to be more organized and to achieve it, I must have discipline and perseverance, since I am a rather scattered person.
Some time ago I told you in one of my posts that in November 2022 I had surgery for uterine fibromyomatosis and that experience made me reconnect with myself in an incredible way. Through a family constellation therapy, I was able to internalize and understand so many things that were happening in me that I was not really aware of all that emotional charge and for not knowing how to express it, somehow it had an impact on my health, I also understood all the immense sentimental and emotional connection that by inheritance unites us to our ancestors and that have a meaning in our present. Through all this experience, I have decided to make changes in my life that although they seem small or irrelevant, in the end they count and have a lot of weight.
If we want things in our life to flow as we wish, we cannot let them fall from the sky and just happen, we must focus on making them happen, looking for tools and means that allow us to evolve and conquer what we long for. For example: if you want to have a healthier lifestyle, you must be physically fit and do activities that allow you to lead a healthy life, either by changing your diet and exercising, because just watching people training or cooking healthier recipes on social networks will not make you change if you don't DO it.
I share with you a little bit of my experience and take what may be useful to you. I have gone through different stages and many times I have lost the course of knowing what I want and yes, I admit that several times it has happened to me, because life is really full of changes and when situations change, also changes the perspective and vision of things, as Mercedes Sosa would say: the way of thinking changes, everything in this world changes... And just as everything changes that I change is not strange.
For several months I have been having internal conversations, yes, it seems that I'm crazy, but I'm not (laughs) or so I think. The truth is that I decided to organize myself and make a weekly schedule with the activities I want to accomplish, perhaps from the simplest things such as: tidy my room and do household things, cook something delicious for my parents, go out with a friend, return to my student routine, enjoy with my family, among other activities that allow me to reconnect and reward myself. To all the things that I have put intentionality, that is, date and time to do them, I feel that I am creating discipline and commitment with myself, knowing that in this way I am fulfilling myself and holding myself accountable.
On Monday of last week I started walking every afternoon with my dad and this way I also motivate him to do something different in the afternoons, allowing him to distract himself and do an activity that at 80 years old helps him to stay dynamic. Also, since I have already started classes, I am getting up earlier, even on the days I don't have to go to the university, since I can do my notes and study with time, plus the day is much more productive. Another thing I included in my weekly schedule is to post specific days in hive, so I can coordinate my time with my studies and with this space that also requires attention and dedication.
Step by step I am beginning this process of reconnecting and I know that by reinforcing aspects in me such as perseverance, discipline, responsibility and commitment, I will achieve positive results and reach the goals set weekly, monthly and yearly.
I have reinforced at this stage, talking to myself with love, hugging and pampering myself. I say: "Valery, my love, what do you want to do this week and with whom do you want to invest your time? And trusting in the process, ideas appear. So I leave you with some tips that have helped me and hopefully you too.
I wish you a beautiful day and may everything flow in harmony and well being for you. I bid you a fond farewell.
