[ENG-ESP] LOH #191 CONTEST: Wisdom for my "younger self"🌷✨
In these last weeks I've been under a lot of stress and anxiety, so this kind of posts help me to connect a little bit with reality and find a little balance. Reflecting on our personal development will always be a good option to remind us of our strength and perseverance, and keep in mind those goals we want to achieve🌸 This week's contest was proposed by @priyanarc, with some pretty interesting questions, that I'm pretty sure many of us need to ask ourselves to motivate us to keep going forward
1️⃣ If you had the opportunity to offer guidance and wisdom to your younger self, what insights or recommendations would you share?
When I look back, I would like to focus on my teenage self, because although in my childhood I was very shy, I really enjoyed the stage in a healthy way, on the other hand, adolescence will always be a complicated stage with all the changes it brings. To my "teenage self", and even, my "20-22 year old self" there are some significant things I would love to tell them:
- Be respectful to yourself, don't forget that you are important🌷
Many times I lost myself by seeking to please others, and it's not wrong to be empathetic and helpful to people you appreciate, but there should always be limits to how far you can give in. You are as relevant as anyone else, your well-being is a priority; respect your principles and your goals, your body, and your mind, and don't allow someone else to come and destabilize your essence.
- Dream big, don't settle🌷
Don't settle for the crumbs of anything that life, or people, have to offer you. We know you have your goals well laid out, and it's an amazing thing about you, so don't try to achieve them half-heartedly, that will only cause you to stagnate and get frustrated. You can be flexible and modify them, but never get less than what you deserve and seek, just because you think you can't find or achieve anything else. The accumulation of those crumbs will only make room for what you really want to be in your life.
- If you make a mistake, it's not the end of the world🌷
You're going to make mistakes, you can't help it. You were raised with the idea of being "to be perfect", but you are already perfect with coming to this world, just like everyone else, and it is totally normal, all the mistakes you are going to make, are learnings that you are going to accumulate and make you wiser in your decisions and vision of life.
- Don't be afraid to live, you're brave🌷
Trust in yourself, in your capabilities, you are fully capable of achieving many things. Fear has always been your biggest limiter, don't let incredible opportunities be lost because you think you are not worthy, because you are not confident, because you are negative. Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith, and you will be amazed at how brave you can be.
If you had asked me this question a few years ago probably all the accomplishments I would have imagined were related to academic life, and well, yes they are proud moments, the reality is that I'm more than a student, and there are things in my life that have bestowed equal or even greater satisfaction.
For that reason, I now consider that the achievements that are a great moment of pride for me, they are every situation in which I have faced my fears and insecurities, in which I have shown myself that I do have the capacity to do great things (in my opinion), all those moments in which I have said: "no, I can't do that" and then I do it, it makes me feel proud of myself. Obviously, it incorporates academic achievements, such as entering college to study the profession I wanted, but also personal challenges that I have set for myself, such as snorkeling without knowing how to swim or climbing a mountain. Those memories that fill me with emotion and motivation to continue living are my greatest achievements, because they make me feel proud of myself.
If you made it this far, thank you very much for reading🩷 They were quite interesting questions, which from time to time are necessary to ask, and to know our journey in life to motivate us to continue. Likewise, I invite my dear @milabarrios to participate✨
See you later✨
En estas últimas semanas he estado bajo mucho estrés y ansiedad, así que esta clase de publicaciones me ayudan a conectar un poco con la realidad y encontrar un pequeño equilibrio. Reflexionar acerca de nuestro desarrollo personal siempre será una buena opción para recordarnos nuestra fuerza y perseverancia, y mantener presente esas metas que deseamos lograr🌸 El concurso de esta semana fue propuesto por @priyanarc, con unas preguntas bastante interesantes, que estoy casi segura que muchas necesitamos plantearnos para motivarnos a seguir adelante.
Cuando miro en retrospectiva, quisiera centrarme en mi yo adolescente, porque aunque en mi infancia fui muy tímida, realmente disfruté la etapa de manera sana, en cambio, la adolescencia siempre será una etapa complicada con todos los cambios que conlleva. A mi "yo adolesente", e incluso, mi "yo de 20-22 años" hay algunas cosas significativas que me encantaría decirles:
- Sé respetuosa contigo misma, no olvides que eres importante🌷
Muchas veces me perdí a mí misma por buscar complacer a otros, y no está mal ser empático y servicial con personas que aprecias, pero siempre debe haber límites de hasta donde puedes ceder. Tú eres tan relevante como cualquier otra persona, tu bienestar es una prioridad; respeta tus principios y tus metas, tu cuerpo y tu mente, y no permitas que otro venga a desestabilizar tu esencia.
- Sueña en grande, no te conformes🌷
No te conformes con las migajas de nada que te ofrezca tanto la vida, como las personas. Sabemos que tienes tus metas bien planteadas, y es algo asombroso de ti, así que no intentes conseguirlas a medias, eso solo causará que te estanques y te frustres. Puedes ser flexible y modificarlas, pero jamás recibas menos de lo que mereces y buscas, solo por pensar que no podrás encontrar o lograr nada más. La acumulación de esas migajas, solo abarcará espacio necesario para que lo tú realmente deseas esté en tu vida.
- Si te equivocas, no es el fin del mundo🌷
Vas a cometer errores, no podrás evitarlo. Fuiste criada con la idea de ser "ser perfecta", pero ya eres perfecta con venir a este mundo, igual que todos, y es totalmente normal, todos los errores que vas a cometer, son aprendizajes que vas a acumular y te hacen más sabia en tus decisiones y visión de vida.
- No tengas miedo de vivir, eres valiente🌷
Confía en ti, en tus capacidades, eres totalmente capaz de lograr muchas cosas. El miedo siempre ha sido tu mayor limitante, no permitas que se pierdan oportunidades increíbles por creer que no eres digna, por no tener confianza, por ser negativa. A veces es necesario dar un salto de fe, y te sorprenderás de lo valiente que puedes llegar a ser.
2️⃣ Reflexionando sobre su trayectoria personal, ¿qué logros destaca como sus momentos de mayor orgullo?
Si me hubieras hecho esta pregunta unos pocos años atrás probablemente todos los logros que hubiera imaginado estuvieran relacionados con la vida académica, y bien, sí son momentos de orgullo, la realidad es que soy más que una estudiante, y hay cosas en mi vida que han otorgado igual o incluso mayor satisfacción.
Por esa razón, ahora considero que los logros que para mí son un gran momento de orgullo, son cada situación en que he enfrentado mis miedos e inseguridades, en que me he demostrado que sí tengo la capacidad para hacer cosas grandiosas (en mi opinión), todos esos momentos en que he dicho: "no, no puedo hacer eso" y luego lo hago, me hace sentir orgullosa de mí misma. Obviamente, incorpora logros académicos, como ingresar a la universidad para estudiar la profesión que deseaba, pero también retos personales que me he impuesto, como realizar snorkel sin saber nadar o escalar una montaña. Esos recuerdos que me llenan de emoción y motivación por continuar viviendo, son mis mayores logros, porque me hacen sentir ogullosa de mí.
Si llegaste hasta acá, muchas gracias por leer🩷 Fueron preguntas bastante interesantes, que de vez en cuando son necesarias hacerlas, y conocer nuestro trayecto en la vida para motivarnos a continuar. De igual manera, invito a participar a mi querida @milabarrios✨
¡Hasta luego!✨

tokens.@eldiariodelys, You have received 1.0000 LOH for posting in Ladies of Hive. We believe that you should be rewarded for the time and effort spent in creating articles. The goal is to encourage token holders to accumulate and hodl LOH tokens over a long period of time.
I am glad that you have understood the question correctly and have mentioned very clearly the age for which you would like to leave some guidelines if possible. Because our children age (2-12,13), will never understand such insights.
I wanna congratulate you on your personal achievements. Not everyone is ready to face the fear by accepting challenges and you did that...
Have a great weekend and good luck...
I totally agree, at 13 I wouldn't have the maturity to understand this as it should. But the "me" from a few years ago is still a "younger version of me" even if she is already an adult. And I know I would love to have been more aware of the things I mentioned that I know now💖 I loved your questions!
Have a nice week!
I bet you finally learned to swim since right @eldiariodelys ?
Keep up the good work. 👏🎵
