Empowering myself




I feel I have entered a new stage in my life. A stage of (shock!) positivity.

I'm less productive than ever, and yet my creativity has been skyrocketing... or rather than skyrocketing, it's been tamed and put into diverse formats (very often my creations stayed in my head, as I feared that the outcome would not be good enough).

So these are the things that have enabled the change in my life (for the better):

  • Being aware that my home is where my family is. My family is my daughter and, for the time being, my husband as well.
  • Reconciling with the career I left behind for my daughter. So what? I got paid a lot for something I didn't enjoy. I got in return the gift of seeing my daughter grow and enjoy thoroughly all the stages of motherhood.
  • I stopped trying to procrastinate my quest for happiness, thinking that it would be based on external details. No! What I need to be happy is inside me and depends entirely on me.
  • Productive creativity! I try to be as productive as I can while doing what I enjoy the most. I go one step at a time, and it works.
  • I got rid of the may things and distractions in my life that were a waste of my time. Facebook applications? Bye. 5 minutes I have to myself I won't throw away just like that.
