The past 6 months of my life have been a rollercoaster. Although painful, I have learned many things that I plan to continue to explore these upcoming 6 months. I am grateful for these difficult times. I always have valued growth, and this is only the beginning.
My primary learning is that I am still exploring the world. I don’t honestly know who I am, what I want, and how I want to live my life. This is a positive take on my current situation. Although an opposing view in the past, I am more confident that growth will come. It may be slow, but it will depend on my daily effort.
In my past, some traits I had/have were straight-up toxic:
Huge Ego
Selfish / Selfless
Career / Money First Before Anything / Everything
Future Focused, Stuck In The Past
Dependent On Others For My Happiness
I am still dealing with many of these issues, but I am writing about them to overcome them. It hasn’t been easy, but it will happen. I have conviction in myself. I am excited to solve these issues.
I needed to hit two significant milestones before reaching this point.
Moving to New York
Satisfactory Career
I am the first one in my family to move out of state. I am the first one to be living in New York. This was a significant step because I never thought I would take it. Moving to New York was a big step towards betting on myself and exploring the world. Before my move, I was largely unaware of what the world could offer me—moving to New York opened pandora's box of travel, adventure, and exploration. This is only the beginning.
I recently started a new role at reNFT as Head Of Partnerships. Although it has been challenging to grow into the position, I am confident in my ability to achieve and execute. This job means a lot to me, and it is precisely where I need to be today to reach my goals for tomorrow. I am incredibly content with the position and enjoy the team. In the past, I spent all of my time grinding my career to get somewhere. I now believe I am somewhere. Therefore, I can chill out.
Moving forward, I need to change some
Building A Sense Community
Create My Life Around Habits
Quality / Quantity
Proactiveness Over Reactivity
I realized that one of the things I feel the most is one of the things that hold me back the most; loneliness. Feeling lonely has been something I masked by my 24/7 grind. I now realize that I want to be a part of a community.
I let a lot of things “slide” in my life. I didn’t have a structure that I followed, so my entire life felt spineless. I am working towards adding a system in my life through meditation, writing, social media creation, etc.
My life revolved around doing everything without focusing on quality. I want to start learning to slow down, focus on quality, and be content with my work output.
Life is about being proactive, not reactive. This is easier said than done. I hope to be attentive to my actions and reactions in my life. I hope to use journaling to reflect and engage.
I am moving to Mexico on February 1st. In this move, a couple of things will be different than my current situation. I will be living in the exact location for 3 months! I haven’t experienced this for the last 7 months…
During my time in Mexico, I will be focused on building my community, creating my habits, and focusing on my actions. I will take this time to take time to focus on my own needs and grow personally.
I will be posting something Sunday and Wednesday. I will keep you all updated on what this looks like moving forward. I am excited and scared at the same time. Hasta luego.
