¡Hola, hola, mis amores!
Hello, hello, My loves!
¿Cómo me di cuenta? Les cuento. Puedo contar varios ejemplos. Uno de ellos fue la primera vez que corrí. En ese momento, yo venía de pasar de 110 kilos a 73 kilos. Yo estaba full emocionada, porque eso era todo un reto y pensaba que podía comerme el mundo. Un día me invitan a correr y yo digo que sí. Ya venía fatigada del spinning y me pareció muy buena opción. Total, no perdía nada con probar.
A few years ago, talking about frustration for me would not have been possible, because I denied that things could not materialize the way I wanted them to, and that drove me out of my mind. I could easily throw a tantrum and leave things half done. But, over time I learned that the reason for my frustration was definitely due to my expectations, which, by the way, were very high, and when they are very high and we don't reach them, that's when that feeling takes hold of us.
How do you tell me? I'll tell you. I can tell you several examples. One of them was the first time I ran. At that time, I had just gone from 110 kilos to 73 kilos. I was very excited, because it was a challenge and I thought I could eat the world. One day I was invited to run and I said yes. I was already tired from spinning and it seemed like a very good option. Anyway, I didn't lose anything by trying it.
Además, una de mis amigas me convenció diciéndome que yo había adelgazado mucho y el spinning era muy bueno. Me voy yo a trotar y me fue malísimo. No pude andar más de 600mts, me faltó la respiración, me rendí rápido. Al final, me molesté conmigo misma, porque no pude avanzar y sentí que tanto spinning no había valido la pena. Pero, ese fue el problema, pensar que porque era muy buena en eso, correr sería pan comido.
Otro ejemplo fue cuando después de adelgazar más, me fui a comprar ropa y la ropa no me quedó como yo pensaba. No sé ustedes, pero si pasas un tiempo haciendo dieta y ejercicios y vas a comprar ropa en lo menos que piensas es en que la ropa no te quede como tú pensabas y aquí aparecen una vez más las expectativas que alejaban de la realidad, porque si bien es cierto que había bajado muchísimo, todavía quedaba mucho por hacer.
Besides, one of my friends convinced me by telling me that I had lost a lot of weight and that spinning was very good. I went jogging and it went badly. I couldn't walk more than 600m, I got short of breath, I gave up fast. At the end, I was annoyed with myself, because I couldn't move forward and I felt that so much spinning had not been worth it. But, that was the problem, thinking that because I was so good at it, running would be a piece of cake.
Another example was when after I lost more weight, I went clothes shopping and the clothes didn't fit the way I thought they would. I don't know about you, but if you spend some time dieting and exercising and you go shopping for clothes, the last thing you think about is that the clothes won't fit the way you thought they would, and here once again the expectations appear that were far from reality, because although it's true that I had lost a lot of weight, there was still a lot to do.
Y, por último, mi estadía en la plataforma. Cuando entré aquí, lo hice porque unos amigos me dijeron que con solo escribir obtendría ganancias y que no sería tan fácil. Pues, no, todo fue malísimo. Mi primera presentación fue horrible y no tuve ayuda ni asesoría. Nada fue fácil y tuve que aprender sola. Después de eso, vino el tema de los votos y de ser absolutamente invisible. Ver cómo voyaban a otros y a mí no. Creo que todos hemos pasado por eso. Incluso me fui varias veces, porque sentía que todo lo que hacía no servía.
Lo cierto es que con el tiempo, asistí a una asesoría y hablaron precisamente de eso. De que muchas veces nosotros nos sentimos frustrados, porque tenemos una percepción equivocada de la realidad. Si no eres bueno para dibujar, no puede pretender ser un Picasso. Puede que tengas habilidades, pero eso no te hace un artista. Entonces, comencé a analizar todas las situaciones en las que me sentí frustrada.
And finally, my stay on the platform. When I joined here, I did it because some friends told me that just by writing, I would make a profit and that it would not be so easy. Well, no, everything was terrible. My first presentation was horrible and I had no help or advice. Nothing was easy and I had to learn on my own. After that, there was the issue of votes and being absolutely invisible. Seeing how they were going to others and not to me. I think we have all gone through that. I even left several times, because I felt that everything I was doing was useless.
The truth is that eventually, I went to counseling and they talked about precisely that. That many times we feel frustrated, because we have a wrong perception of reality. If you are not good at drawing, you cannot pretend to be a Picasso. You may have skills, but that doesn't make you an artist. So, I started to analyze all the situations in which I felt frustrated.
Una de las soluciones que nos dió la profesora fue que en vez de ir con expectativas, fuéramos con intenciones, es decir, en vez de ir a correr 1k, iría a correr menos distancia e ir aumentando poco a poco. Si queríamos tener una mejoría notable en nuestro cuerpo, ir paso a paso. Bajar de peso, luego, ganar masa muscular y después todo lo demás.
Desde entonces, para evitar sentirme frustrada, me planteo intenciones. Hoy voy a salir a trotar 30 minutos. Esta semana escribiré un post cada día dando lo mejor de mí y así sucesivamente. Hay situaciones que se me van de las manos. Cuando eso sucede, procuro replaatearme las cosas y volver a ellas, respirar, llorar si hace falta y soltar las cosas. De un tiempo para acá, ese ha Sido mi mantra.

No sé si eso le funcione a los demás, pero, cuando comencé hacerlo, me permite ver los pros y contras de la situación y mis opciones para abordar cualquier situacion.
I don't know if that works for others, but, when I started doing it, it allows me to see the pros and cons of the situation and my options for approaching any given situation.
Un abrazo, mis amores.
desde aquí te mando un abrazo.
A hug, my loves.
from here I send you a hug.
