Maintaining our motivation...

In these turbulent times, there are many situations that we must handle appropriately, for which it is necessary to keep control of our emotions, think clearly. Thank God it does not affect me at all to be at home locked up with my family, rather it fills me with joy, but I know that it is not the same for everyone, there will be many who find it intolerable, either because they have not taken care of having a good family relationship or simply because they do not tolerate captivity.

In the family

I suppose that all of us, at some point in our lives, have somehow felt boredom, that feeling of not tolerating our environment, of feeling that everything is meaningless ... it is something suffocating and difficult to sustain for long, for that reason, it is best to recognize it and address it, so as to find the lost motivation again.

The monotonous life, disconnected from our being, acting on autopilot, certainly does not help at all, but rather acts as a trigger that leads us to a life that seems meaningless, as if we were being pushed against our will into the void. I believe this is the main reason why so many people suffer from anxiety or depression.

Just by becoming aware of what we feel, we can make the decision to go down a different path, one that fills us with enthusiasm, joy of life, that guides us towards our dreams. It is never too late to start, and there is always something we can do for our well-being, because even if we are enclosed within four walls, we can be free in spirit and cultivate our being. It is all a matter of attitude.

Sometimes to move forward, it is necessary to stop, lest we are running in circles and instead of moving forward, we are only exhausting ourselves a little more each day, until we run out of breath. It is not necessary to make radical changes in our life, because many times we see them as a threat, when they can be great opportunities; but definitely we must do something that takes us out of where we are and takes us to where we want to go. Step by step, you get far. We need to find stimuli that are like fuel to move us in that direction.

As Louise Hay teaches us, every day we can ask ourselves in front of the mirror, "What can I do today to make you happy? It is a good practice to say beautiful things to ourselves, if we love ourselves, how can we expect others to do it? We must learn to know ourselves, to respect ourselves, to recognize how valuable we are. I believe that our connection with God is also elementary to keep our flame burning and to find the way out of any situation that may arise, besides, there are burdens that only with Him we can bear.

Thanks to God for every moment of life
and to you for joining me in this reading.
