Weekend-Engagement topics: WEEK 288

Greetings #WeekendExperiences community

What bothered you most in 2025 and what made you happiest? Explain.

Human beings go through different stages in their lives. A year of life, experienced as a year filled with various personal, professional, and other activities, leaves us with pleasant or unpleasant experiences depending on the results they yield and the needs of the moment.

In 2025, several family events occurred related to documentation and legal aspects of selling a property. This has caused a lack of commitment from two family members who claim to agree to the sale, despite knowing everything those of us living in Venezuela have done to comply with and obtain the required documents from the relevant authorities—time, money, waiting for approval—and then, at the last minute, when everything is obtained and legally in order, two of those who are outside the country halt the process because of a document they need to send.

This is frustrating because the country's economy is already under so much stress that the documents have to expire and we have to redo everything or update the dates, which costs us money.

What made me happy, and continues to make me happy, was joining a physical activity group, specifically practicing yoga. It has been calming, opening me up to mobility, flexibility, and balance, and has helped me discipline myself to attend scheduled sessions and participate in discussions. Furthermore, understanding the philosophy behind yoga, even though I practice Hatha Yoga (Asanas), has led me to reflect on how I started and the progress I've made.

This practice is currently part of my plan for 2026, to continue and improve my physical and mental health.
