Bendecido día tengan todos, un nuevo año comienza con la mejor energía y disposición para seguir adelante viviendo en armonía y agradecimiento, este año 2023 tuvo sus bajas y también sus altas, estoy agradecida por cada día vivido incluso los días malos, tengo salud y tengo vida, motivos suficientes para agradecer a Dios, todos los días parten personas de este mundo y a veces nos toca que sean cercanas y eso nos hace dar cuenta de todo lo que debemos agradecer y aprovechar de vivir, pero nuestra a mente nos hace poner negativos o triste, preocupados o estresados, pero con los años uno aprende a controlarse , a tener sus propios modos o estrategias para estar bien, por eso me gustó la iniciativa de @charjaim en la comunidad Holus&Lotus, porque nos invita a compartir 4 estrategias que nos funcionen para tener bienestar. Invito a participar a @chacald.dcymt @annafenix
Have a blessed day everyone, a new year begins with the best energy and willingness to move forward living in harmony and gratitude, this year 2023 had its downs and also its ups, I am grateful for every day lived even the bad days, I am healthy and I have life, enough reasons to thank God, every day people leave this world and sometimes we have to be close and that makes us realize everything we should be grateful for and take advantage of living, but our mind makes us put negative or sad, worried or stressed, but over the years you learn to control yourself, to have your own ways or strategies to be well, that's why I liked @charjaim's initiative in the Holus&Lotus community, because it invites us to share 4 strategies that work for us to have well-being. I invite @chacald.dcymt @annafenix to participate
La jardinería / The garden
I really like to tend to my plants, I generally do this early in the morning, even before my grandson and my daughter wake up, so I have some time alone in silence and in contact with nature, I listen to the birds that live in the nests in the trees, also at this time the parrots begin to come to eat the first mangoes that begin to grow on the tree in my yard or the neighbor's, at that time the breeze is fresh and the sun is just beginning to set. warm up, I like to carry the first rays of the sun on my body, start by sweeping the patio leaves, then I look for water in tubes and with a cup I water the bushes in my patio and also the medicinal herbs, then I move to the front of my house where I have my small garden, there I clean the pots if foreign leaves have fallen on them or if they have dry leaves from the same plants, I also sweep the ground because it generally always has dried flowers from the large pink Ixoras bush and also the red Ixoras whose bush is smaller, then I also water all the flower plants, I remove the dry branches from the small palm tree if it has any, doing these activities allows me to be calm, at peace with my thoughts, it also allows me to organize my daily activities , I feel he has energy to go back into the house and prepare coffee and breakfast with my grandson who is the first to wake up, sometimes he wakes up earlier and helps me sweep the leaves, but even in his presence these moments are of complete peace for me.
La oración / Pray
For me, praying to God is like talking with him and at the same time with myself, I do this at night and in the morning in my bed as soon as I wake up, to my gratitude it is like meditating, I ask my Lord God to give me health and strength to continue living and to be able to enjoy each day. For me, this habit of prayer helps me feel good, clear my mind of problems, I feel that if I have a heavy load God helps me with it, that I am freed and I feel He is accompanied in every situation.
Cocinar y servir a los demás / Cook and serve others
Cooking also works like gardening for me, it is something that I like to do and it also allows me to have peace of mind, but cooking for myself is also something that allows me to serve others, for example when my daughter comes to visit with my grandchildren, or when one of my sisters visits me, if I have food to make for them, this activity makes me feel good, because it is my way of expressing affection for my loved ones, especially when I have sweet recipes or snacks to share with them, It is a very good gratification to give them something delicious to eat, it is a small happiness that gives me well-being.
Conversar / Talk
I have seen how the quietest and calmest people become hypertensive people with heart problems, so I prefer to talk. When I have a problem or worry that is hurting me, I generally like to talk about it with my sisters, because I need to get those things out. and they know me better than anyone, I trust them and I can also count on them, in addition to my daily conversation with God through prayer, the conversation with my sisters also helps me maintain balance, because I believe that when one swallow the problems, you only get sick and you have to mentally free yourself a little and then good, positive thoughts and solutions will come more easily.
