I’m living my best life right now, and of course, I am missing the past moments: like getting Cinnabon from the mall every time I achieved something, giggling with friends in their dorm rooms, and partying. All those moments I took for granted will surely be missed of course, but I truly like who I am becoming.
Now, I am this independent young woman, who has started two blogs and is creating an empire. Compared to who I used to be, who needed a lot of assistance to help her get through day-to-day life.
As the world is figuring out what to do with itself in this pandemic. I am finding peace and creating a new path for myself.
For both past and present me, I must have some sort of plan or a path to follow, or else I will derail in a pit of anxiety and confusion.
I have picked a few things up that I will continue to incorporate into my daily routine. I call them Day Savers, but it's really like Day S.A.V.E.R.S because the “ savers” is an acronym. The S.A.V.E.R.S stands for silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and space. Each task should take a minimum of 10 minutes, but you can spread them out throughout the day or switch up the task order. Savers is what truly kept my sanity and focus.
I enjoyed doing these because sometimes life has too many distractions that you can actually forget to take care of yourself. But if you just remember these tasks in the morning or throughout the day, you will be unconsciously loving and caring for yourself. So, take initiative and start your day putting yourself first.
XOXO,
Natalia O.
