Living through this

FabrizioLeave a comment

As the holidays get close and the news fill once more with variants and spikes, it is worth reminding that it is ok not to be ok.

It is ok to be anxious, stressed, demotivated. It is ok to not feel like doing anything. It is ok to be languishing and just wanting to give up. It is ok to take days off, to go for a walk in the middle of a busy day, to want to meet others and at the same time dread the moment when that will happen.

All of this is ok, and the moment you are fine with it, you can start expressing how it is. People will feel a little less afar. You will be a little less alone.

We are living through this.

You’ve got this.

Not the end of the world

A defeat is not the end of the world.

For sure, it hurts. You’ll have to take time to process it. You will be tempted to give way to regrets, complaints, frustation, fury. And sometimes, you should. You will need to regroup with those who have been close to you all along the way. You will grieve, cry perhaps, feel like everything was pointless. You will analyse, and question, and wonder. You might be doing that for quite some time.

In the end, though, you will accept and go back to your practice. And actually, the fastest you do, the strongest you are.

Because a defeat is not the end of the world.

Satisfied

Most of your satisfaction is due to the effective application of three interrelated things.

  1. Knowing what is important.
  2. Not allowing any space for what does not belong to number 1.
  3. Giving yourself some slack when you fail at number 2.

This is true in your personal and your professional life. At the office, in your free time, and at the gym. When you are on your own, with your partner, with your friends, or with your kids.

It is a matter of awareness, of choices, and boundaries.

It is a matter of saving resources and investing them in the things that have the highest potential.

It is a matter of acknowledgement and empathy.

The same as nothing

There’s a wealth of opportunities at any given time out there.

And to catch them you need to become very good at saying no. Because too much is essentially the same as nothing.

It starts with knowing what you are here for.

Words of comfort

When is the last time you gave someone words of comfort?

When is the last time you gave yourself words of comfort?

We are often harsh with others and even harsher with ourselves. We are made harsh by an environment that sees urgency, competition, threats everywhere. We need to come out on top, we need to be better, we need to be first. Chasing drifting concepts to pursue a satisfaction that will always be pushed further.

No matter where you are today, you have everything you need. You are the best version of yourself and people around you are lucky to have you in their lives. You are you, no matter what comes next.

You’ve got this.
