WEEK END ENGAGEMENT TOPICS: WEEK 170 Living our best life

Topic 1: "Living our best life" is different for us all. What would you say the three most important elements to living your best life are for you personally? Explain why and give examples

First of all, I am totally agree about statement: “Living our best life” is different for us all. For me, living my best life has to do with freedom, freedom of choice. Since I was a child, since I have memory, freedom have been important to me. Because I lived in a home where It was not allowed to make choices. I loved so much my dad but he was a dictator. So, I was a dreamer child, I chose to go where my father’s laws cannot reach me, you know. That’s why I loved books, I loved fairy tales.

When I became an adult person I chose studying literature, I chose being a writer. It’s not an easy decision. Your parents, family members and many other people try to get you to choose another way to live your best life. But, I’m sorry, I’m stubborn, I said: “－No, no, I want to study literature”. Not being rich is sometimes difficult, most of us writers are not rich. But It’s really worse when you do all your life something you don’t enjoy. So, actually, I am not rich, but I do what I really like: I’m a writer and I teach other persons to write.

Being with people makes me happy or people I can make happy is another way to live the best life. There are many things I can enjoy alone, of course, but when I can share with people I love things I enjoy I’m really happy, I enjoy more those things. Life has many people and circumstances you don’t enjoy. So, when I can I’m glad to share with my sisters or my friends good moments. Few weeks ago it was my sister Margarita's birthday and I spent good time with her, her husband and my cousin Adriana. I will share with you some pictures.

Since I’m not young taking care of my health has become a priority. And since a lot of years ago I understood that good health is not only taking care of your physical health. Because, our thoughts and our feelings certainly affect our physical health. All are connected body, mind and heart. Since several years ago I take care of my menu, what I eat, I take care what I think and I take care of how I feel. Bad emotions like anger, for example, are not good for your health. I realized that. For me health is really important for living our best life.

Well, thank you for reading me. This is I can say to you about “three most important elements of living your best life”: having good health, doing what I like and sharing good times and making happy people I love or I like. That’s for me three most important elements of living my best life.
