Going through so many adversities in life has made me analyze and put into perspective all my life so far, and what I have lived in so few months. Creating a space in which I realize my mistakes made, I feel that evolution somehow reaches my environment, changing my way of thinking, seeing things from another approach, idealizing myself or getting an idea of how my days to come will be is something I will stop thinking, something I will erase from my mind, because my last outings, have been more than what I expected, I like to let myself be surprised and let myself be carried away by the moment I am living. It is not only about letting myself be carried away by the moment, but also by feeling surprised, or letting myself be surprised, it is the new thing that is in my thoughts, and that I begin to accept, in a satisfactory way, because it helps me not to torture myself, not to stress myself, but to let all the emotions that I feel flow, in a positive way.
I want to give my life what I really need, which is mental stability, to be able to allow myself to be sad without making it part of my day to day life, to face things in a different way, to do things for me, my well-being. So far I don't have a safe approach that I can lean on, but I'm trying to improve everything, step by step. I don't want to sink into a constant thought that tortures me to the core of not being able to enjoy the moments, the spontaneous outings, unexpected visits or moments that happen at the last minute. I believe that at this point I have to change everything, I am no longer here to minimize myself, to receive crumbs or to feel used, I am here to worry about myself, about what I want to do and achieve, I have reached a breaking point, a breaking point that I want to take advantage of to get out of the hole.
Did I have to step on the bottom in order to understand it? Actually yes, I wouldn't say it was the best thing, even I have to admit that it is very unpleasant to have such an excellent day and then have a slump in the evenings. I think the only way where I could realize that I needed to get out of it, I needed to do something for me, was to hit rock bottom. I'm trying new activities that will get better as the days, months, even minutes go by, things that I hadn't done for a while and I'm trying to think about them again. It is great to be able to feel again the connection that I thought I had lost with my family, it is great to feel that I can take activities and the reins of my life once and for all, it is great to be able to do activities on MY own, to be able to have time for myself, to make it productive, to get on track to my happiness, that my happiness does not depend on being attached to friends, people, acquaintances, or even family, but that happiness depends only on me, what I have always written.
Today I took the big step I needed to be able to focus on something new, I joined a gym, after 4 years without going to a gym, without exercising frequently in one place, I had an activity from Monday to Friday and WOW! The satisfaction is one in a million, I thought I was going to have less resistance, that I was going to faint (without wanting to sound exaggerated) it was the opposite, I drained so many things, so many adversities, so much negativity, I decided to leave everything in the exercises, that's what I wanted, I wanted to be able to feel in such a way. I started in a new place, I did not know it, it is close to my house so I have the advantage of being able to walk, I do cardio on the way and I do not have any kind of excuse by means of transportation not to arrive. It was thanks to an impulse I had yesterday, I was so frustrated, so sad about what I was feeling that I said: You know what? Let's join a gym, you are working for you, getting money to be able to satisfy yourself, why not join the gym? I immediately found out the number of the trainer in charge, she gave me a quote and I said yes, because I knew that if I sat and waited, I was going to regret that decision. She really focuses on her clients, she tries to have an incredible professional relationship and for me, that is everything, that they make me feel confident is enough. Today we tested my resistance, although I have exercised at home, it is not usually the same to be in a place with machines and someone advising you, I felt great because he told me that I had resistance, I was surprised to tell you the truth, I did not think I was going to make it, not because of pessimism, but because of reality. I managed to do it, I could do it, I set my mind to do it, I hope to get results soon, I will be patient, but I hope in two weeks, to feel the difference.
Exercising usually changes you from day one, not only to improve your physical appearance but we are also talking about a health issue, I suffer from panic attacks, I am short of breath and my heart is not doing well, my resistance, became a little low, I get tired too much, climbing stairs was hell for me, I got to the point of getting depressed thinking that I could not make it. To see the change that little by little I have created just by dancing and exercising at home, is incredible, I am proud of what I was able to work on last year, also what I did this year. When you believe in yourself, you believe in what you are doing, you focus on improving, the changes are immediate, you start to believe in it, seeing your potential, how it changes even your way of thinking, taking big steps is also part of personal growth.
Before I could say that changes were unnecessary, I was even afraid of them, now, my way of thinking has changed completely. I do not know what the future holds, I always say it is uncertain, but what I can work on is the present, I decide if I want to have a good day or a lousy day, everything will depend on me, although there will be situations that are out of my control, my mood I must manage it, I am me. I should not feel sad about external problems, even less if they are not mine, I can be there, support you, but not make them part of me. I am learning, I am still trying to organize pending things, I am really not in a hurry, I think the best thing to do is to let myself go and enjoy it.
Me alegro mucho que te hayas ingresado al gym, los ejercicios aparte de salud, te van a dar mucha confianza, te harán sentir con más energía, vas a conocer gente nueva y un montón de cosas positivas que vienen con entrenar.
Tener estabilidad mental es primordial, pero la vida es de exámenes constantes, siempre habrán subidas y bajadas, hay que ser fuertes y no golpearte tu misma por lo que pueda ser un mal día.
Ánimo y que bueno que andes enfocando todo en ti. Saludos!
Hola @wensports, muchísimas gracias por tu comentario, me da motivación para seguir adelante y dar ¡lo mejor de mí!
Tienes razón, habrán días buenos y malos, debo enfocarme en que los malos son pasajeros, no deberían atormentarme. De verdad que inscribirme en el gimnasio fue una decisión impulsiva pero siento que vendrán muy buenos cambios con ella.
Un abrazo, gracias por leerme.
