Hi there's folks! This is the moment of the week when I have a deep introspection about what have happened this week and how much I've learnt from it. This one has been specially hard, so I hope you can connect to the following words 😊.
I wish you more chaos
What a shitty week. Anyways that's something I appreciate. Why? A few years ago I saw a TED Talk of a colombian mindset coach. His speech was based on the physics rule that says that every system has to dissipate entropy until that entropy is too much and he has either to grow or die. We humans are systems constantly dissipating entropy, or what's the same, chaos. So every time I am through awkward, overwhelming times, I remember that and think that maybe this is my moment for growing. So from now on, I wish you more chaos than you can actually bare!
What are your core habits
When you're passing through a "chaos time" you need habits to maintain you away from drawning into madness and stress. Even though I wasn't able to read and write as much as I wanted, I never missed any day from the gym, I kept journaling every day and I made an extra effort to keep myself active at the Hive Communities. Actually I'm struggling to write this, but this is a space I don't want to lose. So I'm daring you to ask or to make an urgency plan with some basic habits, so you have them right there whenever you need them.
Is it good to keep low expectations?
This one is a little contradictory. I'm a defender of having great expectations of life. It's important to dream big, because what if your dreams come true? But at the same time I realized it's important to keep low expectations, on everything! It's a sort of mental trick, being careful to not become a pessimist. The result is that when things go wrong, you already expected it, but if they go amazing you'll be really surprised!
Shame is one of the worst emotions one could ever feel. It's awful. I admit that I actually hate it and avoid it. But what happens when you face shame being open to whatever that's coming? It not only fades, it also reinforces self awareness! It's just so weird! By now I'm trying to embrace with love all the moments I remember I have felt ashamed. Is a way of accepting and getting to know me better. I hope you can get to make that too!
This is it, folks. What do you think about thos insights? I'd love to read your opinions and interact 😊. Good bye by now!
