Today, I would like to speak about the importance to have a healthy daily routine. For me, a healthy daily routine should have 4 wins:

1) Taking care of your Mental Health. I do this specifically through:

-Daily meditation
-Gratitude
-Journaling
-Praying.

2) Taking care of your Physical health:

-Workout or cardio exercise.
-Eat healthy and avoid sugars or other unhealthy foods that don’t make any good to your body.
-No cigarettes, no marihuana, no drugs in general.
-Eat green foods, protein and healthy carbs.

3) Acts of service:

-Life is not just about you, find something that you are good at, and do it in service of others. Myself, I feel proud and happy in my job as business advisor, where I have the opportunity to support business owners to accomplish their financial goals. On the other hand, I engage in my Latin American community in Victoria, where we can support and help each other.

We you put your energy and time out there and focus on people, life gets less complicated. When you only focus about you, there is always space to create imaginary problems where there are not.

4) Have fun:

Life is not just about work, life is about having fun and smile, have joy and relax!

-Take a salsa class, go to the movies, go for a walk with a friend or by yourself, go to a massage place, take a box class, improv classes or play the guitar, call a family member, dance in the pub, go to play a board game or grab a beer with a friend.

For this, is very important to set aside time of your week to enjoy, to engage in a community and find activities where you can connect with other humans.

For me, this is the most important one. ☝️ have fun and joy.

At the end of the day, we will all be gone. The money we save in the bank account, the properties and certificates and all our accomplishments, they will all stay in this physical world. At the end of our journey in this physical world, all we have is the love we gave and the love we receive.

Have a great Wednesday everyone.

Today I come to talk to you about something very important to confront the problems and circumstances of life. The power of resilience. Resilience means having the ability to face any circumstance that comes in life in the following way:

1. Gratitude means being able to be grateful for the good but also for the bad. Because when a challenge comes into your life, you have to see it as a learning experience or a lesson that came to test your tenacity in the face of adversity. 

2. Be prepared, be strong physically and mentally, have a healthy diet, exercise continuously, practice constant meditation and finally have your mind trained (not getting carried away by negative thoughts, but focusing on good things and again, in pure gratitude).

3. Be certain that it is only a moment in life, everything bad that we may be facing will have an end. And if what you are facing is a terminal illness such as cancer or an illness that is going to end your life, be certain that God has given you this last battle so that you can face it with humility, serenity, compassion and a lot of love. You can be sure that this pain is only earthly, accept it with compassion that the light at the end of the tunnel is simply wonderful. 

Again, it's easy to be grateful for the good, but true resilience is shown when you are grateful for the bad, face it with a smile, and are even kind to others as you face that challenge.

In conclusion, in the face of adversity and any circumstance: let's stay calm, be grateful, kind, live happily, strive to be kind to others, and this way you will achieve resilience.

So many times we have heard that is better to keep our stories in secret and avoid sharing too much, that is better to keep ourselves quiet as someone with “envy” might damage your plans or create bad energy around you.

Now, I want you to do exactly the opposite. I want you to see yourself in the mirror, with a kind and honest look, and ask yourself.. how can I inspire people to keep going? How can I inspire people to be better than me? How can I make my burden that I carried for so many years, be in help for those who need to release their heavy weight too?

We came to the world with a purpose and every single situation we have experienced in our life is not an accident, it is because it was meant to be. Even the burdens and unfortunate events as an illness, failures or lost, are meant to happen for a reason. Usually, these situations bring a weight that we need to accept and carry during life. However, and please believe me in this one, as much as you share your story to inspire others to keep going and to carry their own burden, your weight will be less and less heavy during the years.

Means, instead of trying to spend all your life ashamed and hidden behind a mask, stop being someone you are not and take out that mask. Don’t be ashamed to start sharing who you really are and please tell the world your story, your traumas and your lost battles. Please tell your story with compassion and with a positive attitude, explain with kindness how you did overcome and did fight each of these situations. Therefore, someone that is crossing the same storm than you or with the same heavy weight in their shoulders, might be inspired by your story to keep going and carry on.

Plus, you will be helping yourself as well, as that heavy rock my friend, will be less and less heavy every single time you tell your story to inspire.

We should be extremely grateful for every single obstacle we face in our lives. Yes, many of them make us hesitate and struggle. Even wanting us to stop chasing our dreams. However, they are here because we need to take some time to breathe, learn and keep moving in another direction. After the obstacle leaves, we will see in the future why was important to never stop.

As humans, we make mistakes and hurt people in the way of life. Although, on the other hand, we should never stop helping and supporting people either. It is confusing, but this means that even when we are learning our lesson and facing challenges, there is always an opportunity to give a hand and love to other humans.

Serving beyond the obstacle, means to realize how important is to serve regardless of the circumstances of life. We should never give up or reject the opportunity to love, be kind and offer help to someone in need. Of course, we need to take care of ourselves first to be able to support someone else. However, a way to take care of ourselves is to serve and give energy to other humans. Because when we serve someone, the fact is that this person is helping us, instead of us helping them.

Welcome to my personal blog: The Growth Mindset. Space where with easy going posts, we encourage our mentees to pursue their dreams, but first focusing on their personal development and self awareness.

Since we are babies, we learn how to eat and how to walk, we learn how to talk and how to communicate. All of it has been done for thousands of years and is a full knowledge package that it’s set up within a very much standard system where we repeat patterns that were established many years ago.

Therefore, there are two types of human’s mindsets: the Fixed Mindset and the Growth Mindset. The Fixed mindset is the most common one and stays behind the regular beliefs of the individual and it doesn’t allow changes. These individuals hesitate to go out of their comfort zone, they only learned what their parents and teachers told them, and never questioned it.

The Growth Mindset allows you to be part of a reduced percentage of population, that adapt themselves and are open to new opportunities in their lives, which create a more dynamic lifestyle. The Growth Mindset allows people to be more resilient, better at copying with failure and more likely to challenge themselves.
