Time: New Year's Day


Tomorrow it's 2019! Almost everyone is excited about it, including me. It is my favourite celebration, as I can spend time with some people I truly love. When I was a kid, I was a little bit afraid of that day. However, now I see the 31st of December as a day to recapture the best moments of the year (and be grateful, of course!) and to plan for the future.


Although I have had very bad moments, especially when it comes to family, I have had also amazing moments that made 2018 such an awesome year. I am so grateful for that and I really wish this new 2019 gets to be as striking as this old year. How can I make 2019 better than the previous one? Through action.

Yeah, it is true that we promise to do things that we may not accomplish, but we need to try a little bit in order to feel fulfilled and content. We need to get out of the comfort zone by starting to do things that benefit us. Perhaps reading more books, studying things you are really interested, doing 30 minutes of exercise every day... Whatever you think it can be helpful for you and your mental health.

Nevertheless, it is also true that some of the best things of each new year are those that you really want and happen unexpectedly. That is the best feeling ever! To achieve dreams without being totally conscious about it. Yet, it is also beautiful to accomplish things through effort; don't get me wrong, we all should work to achieve things, but there are certain special moments that happen unexpectedly and make you highly happy.

I hope for all of you this new year has those moments of happiness, achievement and love! (By love, it doesn't necessarily have to be romantic love, also love for yourself, friends, life...)



(If you want to keep reading, regarding this song above this text, isn't it romantic to have someone with you even if you are totally exhausted, drank or sick of cleaning all the mess your friends/family has left at home? I think that is such a beautiful thing).

Self-Care (I)

Imagen
Hey! I know it's been a while since the last day I wrote here; other days I wasn't inspired to write, but today I feel the need to talk about something important: self-care. What I realised during these Christmas holidays is the fact that I don't love myself. How can I want to have someone loving me if I don't know how to do it? How can I pretend to be happy when I hate myself? How can I pretend to be me when I don't know myself? After reading books and being on the internet, I found out what is "self-care". According to the Oxford Dictionary, self-care is the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. That sounds really nice and appealing, but do we really put it into practice? How many times have you told yourself you look great, though you have gained a little bit of weight? How many times have you let yourself making a mistake and being genuinely okay with...

Frustration

Imagen
At some point in our lives, we have felt absolutely frustrated due to certain unfairness, either because you didn't get the mark you wanted to achieve, or because you aren't with the person you love the most, or because of a betrayal, or because your pet has disappeared. What usually happens when something bad happens or when we receive bad news or when things don't go the way we want, we tend to blame ourselves. I know it all too well because it always happens to me. Lately, I didn't get the mark I wanted in an exam, I felt really frustrated, then I saw that my mark was the second best, which made me feel many things. On the one hand, I couldn't help but think that I am always the second or someone's second dish. Then I started to think it was because of me, my personality, my way of being, my self. I cried a bit, I hated myself for a moment. Yet, after a while, I ended up thinking that there was nothing wrong in me, others didn't do as well as me, so th...

El autocuidado o el cuidado Personal (I)

Imagen
Ya sé que han pasado unos cuántos días desde la última vez que escribí aquí; sin embargo, eso se debe a que no me encontraba lo suficientemente inspirada para escribir, no sabía de qué hablar. A pesar de eso, hoy ya sé de lo que tratar; es algo de lo que se debería hablar más a menudo: el autocuidado o el cuidado personal. Durante estas Navidades, me dí cuenta de qué todavía no me respeto. ¿Cómo puedo querer tener alguien que me quiera si todavía no sé hacerlo? ¿Cómo puedo pretender ser feliz si me sigo odiando? ¿Cómo puedo pretender ser yo si no sé cómo soy ni lo qué quiero ser? Tras leer algunos libros e investigar por internet, descubrí lo que realmente es el "autocuidado". Hay páginas web que lo definen a su manera; definidlo cómo queráis, no hay ninguna definición exacta al 100%, pero yo diría que consiste en proteger el bienestar y la felicidad de uno mismo especialmente durante períodos de estrés o de ausencia de amor hacía su persona. Eso suena muy bonit...
