Essential reflections for life (EN-ES)
Greetings, my dear Ladies of Hive. I hope you are doing very well with abundant health and well-being, and that these are days of many successes and blessings.
I share my participation in the #206 edition of the contest to which the Ladies of Hive invite us, weekly. On this occasion, I am going to answer two of the questions that our friend @priyanarc has proposed for this week:
2️⃣ Can you share a time when you turned a difficult situation into a valuable life lesson?
3️⃣ How do you create a balance between giving to others and prioritizing your own needs?
Saludos, mis queridas Damas de Hive. Espero que se encuentren muy bien con abundante salud y bienestar, y que sean días de muchos éxitos y bendiciones.
Comparto mi participación en la edición #206 del concurso al que nos invitan, semanalmente, las Damas de Hive. En esta ocasión, voy a responder dos de las preguntas que nos ha propuesto la amiga @priyanarc para esta semana:
2️⃣ ¿Puedes compartir una ocasión en la que convertiste una situación difícil en una valiosa lección de vida?
3️⃣ ¿Cómo creas un equilibrio entre dar a los demás y priorizar tus propias necesidades?
Regarding the first question, the most difficult situation I have ever gone through in my life was the loss of my mother. This was a deeply painful moment. I emigrated and within a few months of being out of my country, my mother became seriously ill and I was unable to return to be by her side for the last days of her life. However, this experience taught me the importance of treasuring beautiful and precious memories because these are the ones that sustained me in times of pain and sadness, sustain me and will always sustain me, for I will carry her legacy with me every step of my life and move forward with gratitude for the time we shared together.
To answer the other question I chose, I must start by saying that I realized that I was letting my priorities and my needs fall by the wayside after I felt exhausted from taking on responsibilities and commitments that were not my own and I was putting them on my back, adding to my own burdens.
So creating a balance between giving to others and prioritizing my own needs has been a learning experience from a few years ago, when I understood that I cannot give my best if I don't take care of my own well-being first. Because of this, I now set healthy boundaries that allow me to have time for myself, to take care of myself and to do what I want to do.
I have achieved balance by procuring my own self-care so that I can care for others and give of myself with love and dedication to those around me who need me.
Con respecto a la primera pregunta, la situación más difícil por la que he pasado en toda mi vida ha sido la de la pérdida de mi madre. Este fue un momento profundamente doloroso. Emigré y a los pocos meses de estar fuera de mi país, mi madre enfermó gravemente y no pude regresar para estar a su lado los últimos días de su vida. Sin embargo, esta experiencia me enseñó la importancia de atesorar recuerdos bonitos y valiosos porque estos son los que me sostuvieron en los momentos de dolor y tristeza, me sostienen y me sostendrán siempre, pues llevaré conmigo su legado en cada paso de mi vida y seguiré adelante con gratitud por el tiempo que compartimos juntas.
Para responder a la otra pregunta que escogí, debo comenzar diciendo que me di cuenta de que estaba dejando de lado mis prioridades y mis necesidades, luego de que me sentí agotada por asumir responsabilidades y compromisos que no me correspondían y echaba sobre mi espalda, sumándolos a mis propias cargas.
Así que crear un equilibrio entre dar a los demás y priorizar mis propias necesidades ha sido un aprendizaje de hace pocos años, cuando entendí que no puedo dar lo mejor de mí si no cuido primero mi bienestar. Por esto. ahora, establezco límites saludables que me permiten tener tiempo para mí, para cuidarme y para hacer lo que quiera.
He conseguido el equilibrio al procurarme mi propio autocuidado para poder cuidar a los demás y dar de mí con amor y dedicación a quienes me rodean y me necesitan.
My love to all. Health and well being!
Mi cariño para todos. ¡Salud y bienestar!

I am so sorry for your loss. I was also at another place when my mother died and I was not there when she died. Still now, I have regret and guilt about it but I also try to carry her values in me...
Thanks for sharing...
I'm sorry that you weren't there when your mom passed. That is hard indeed. Our memories are wonderful things to cherish because they will sustain us.
Setting boundaries and taking care of yourself is a good thing. I've not always been good at that, and it's a never ending process to make sure we take care of ourselves.
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day! !LADY
