You need to take care of yourself

1 min read Blog

An amazing relaxing/mindful channel. Try to read while listening to this.

In a world where everyone is speeding up, trying to deliver, develop, write everything faster, bigger, stronger, you need to slow down. We're not machines, humans need care, we can't be thrown, we have infinite potential.

Maybe you're made for that, maybe not, maybe you are now, and suddenly, at once you won't be anymore. To keep a steady pace, you need to slow down.

Check-up your health: make at least a yearly blood test, yearly total ultrasound, mole check or besides what I usually do, you can follow this list.

There's no instrument, post, video, game, art, or anything that will push you to do more. Your community, family, partner, friend can help you, but the initial push should come from you.

I'm writing this so this is my push, for myself, to finally place my health first, slow down.

That doesn't mean stop working, stop chasing dreams and doing chores. There's the time for everything, after health is taken care of.

One of the struggles that I have with life, one of my limitations is that I learned always the hard way to "grow up", to be more responsible, to do the "right thing", after a tragedy or something truly awful happened.

I talked with a psychologist, and probably most people do this. It's really unfair, and it's unfair that humanity is trying to, rightfully so, give a better life for the next generation, when for me being comfortable and secure, didn't really help. I was so naive and immature before the worse things in my life happened.

Let's finish with a meme 😄

Take care, really.
