Resolutions flowing!

I am in full tilt with my new year's resolution!!!! The itch for RENEWAL is in my body and my mind. And the blog here is the first to feel the difference. I'm looking to make it more user-friendly (with the minimal knowledge I have with the networking world) and, to that end, I'm dividing the posts into categories.

They are as follows:

Mens sana in corpore sano: in this category you will find all my battle to keep in shape. Dietary re-education, healthy recipes, physical exercises, and the like. I will make a history with pictures of my body and the scale to monitor and evaluate my progress. Everything in order: here I will talk, mainly, about organization. This is a huge stone in my shoe that I will take off this year! I will research and tell how to have a routine of activities, use an agenda, organizational methods, lists and more lists... Home, sweet home: after the wedding I will give special attention to my little house ("inha" literally...lol). Here will be my posts about decorating, gardening, pets, in short, bed, table and bath! Mirror, mirror on the wall: the little woman category of the blog. I know I'm in the minority here, but I've been sinning a lot in this area. So, everything I learn and do about beauty, fashion, cosmetics, aesthetic procedures and stuff like that will be here. Coffee-break: this is the place to relax and socialize. That moment to clear your head and disconnect from your commitments. We will talk about parties and events in general (weddings, birthdays, baby showers, etc.), as well as films and plays that enchant me, and those trips that re-energize us. In the world of the moon: here it is something more personal. Thoughts and daydreams that go through my head here... lolrs. Poems and reflections by myself (when I feel like it) and by artists I admire.

And last but not least:

Life projects: these are projects that, unlike keeping fit or staying organized (which is routine and for life), for example, will have a beginning, middle and end or something that is very specific.

- Know thyself: I want to rescue my history by building my family tree. To do this I will have to assemble forms, interview older relatives and maybe even research in registry offices. It is a Herculean task, I know, but I am very excited about it. - Immortalizing: my husband loves to take pictures. We have many throughout these seven years together (including the courtship period). So we are going to put together albums with the most outstanding moments of each year. It is a kind of biography in pictures. Can you imagine being able to look back 50 years from now on all that we have spent together? It will be great! - Of text and soul: I want to increase my reading. I read a lot of magazines, but books are really few (and it is not for lack of acquisition!). So I'm going to take the opportunity to do reviews of the books I read. If anyone has good reading suggestions, feel free to pass them along!

Oh, I am so happy! Just by getting a little more organized, I already have a thousand ideas coming to me. Now I will program the weekly schedule so that I can dedicate myself constantly to this dear little blog.

Offline, but not that much.

Another start of the month, and a mini-balance sheet pops into my head. What was accomplished the previous month, what goals I was able to achieve... well. I have many things on my mind, many paths to follow, but I need to organize my ideas. And I've assessed that one of the negatives preventing me from achieving the results I want would be the overabundance of information I consume daily on the internet. I end up getting too much inspiration a day and not being able to put anything into action. There are probably many more people who spend more time on the internet than I do and manage to make peace with everything in their lives. I'm not in control, I feel like the time I spend on it takes some (a lot) of my energy away.

And then I came across (online, by the way) an article by a writer who challenged himself to go ONE YEAR without using the Internet, precisely because he thought it made him unproductive. In his words, "I thought it was missing the point there. I thought it was 'corrupting my soul.'" In the end, contrary to his assumptions, it's not the Internet that's to blame, but something deeper from within. Read the article here.

Well, I was going to do something similar as a writer (not a year, eh...lol), but after reading the article, I decided to adapt. First, I'm going to do a virtual detox. Next week, I'm really going to go offline to put things in their proper place. I will only have access to my institute email because it can't interfere with my work. The other week I'll be on vacation, so I'll have more time during the day to organize myself, and I'll only go in twice a week to update my blogs and organize my clouds.

In the third week, I evaluate the results of the previous weeks and, as appropriate, increase the number of sessions to three times a week with an agreed upon time limit. Over time, if I manage to use the internet productively, perhaps I'll go back to using it every day, but with constant time control.

Either way, the blog will not be abandoned, rather the opposite. I think this "challenge" will be of great benefit. I will be able to devote myself to creating posts and only use the internet while posting them, on occasion, which I will also use to respond to comments.
