On this occasion I chose the first one of the proposed topics for this week's weekend engagement, in which Hive account@galenkp made me reflect on 3 of the most important things I do to make sure I live my best life.

1) Practice gratitude

For me, being grateful is a fundamental element, not only because it helps me be happy with the life I currently have and to feel satisfaction for many of the things I experienced in the past (including my valuable study and work opportunities), but because It has also allowed me to connect emotionally with my loved ones and significant others, maintaining healthy bonds over the years (with family, friends, superiors and co-workers), giving them the value they deserve and recognizing the impact they have had and continue to have in my life.

2) Enjoy both the big and small pleasures of life to the fullest.

Life is a roller coaster, it of course has wonderful moments full of well-being, success and prosperity, but it is also full of challenges and difficult situations that must be overcome in the best possible way. Reason why, one of the practices that I incorporated into my life many years ago is to enjoy not only those moments in which I can pamper myself, have greater comforts and allow myself certain luxuries such as traveling, but also to fully enjoy those small and wonderful pleasures in life that are priceless, such as quality time with my loved ones, spending time with my pets, listening to music, singing, dancing, helping others, having contact with nature, watching the sunset or the moon through the window, among many others.

3) Give my best

I try to do each activity or task with love and dedication, both in my studies and in my work, and that is usually reflected in the final result or product, because making an effort and doing things with love helps my inspiration and creativity flow more easily, and of course it also allow me to enjoy the process, which is also very important.

In summary, those 3 elements have made me enjoy my life, take care of my bonds with my loved ones and have also opened many doors for me. I am hopeful that they will continue to help me to have my best life and to get good academic and work opportunities, which will also translate into better income that will allow me to have more financial stability in the future for my wellbeing and the wellbeing of my family.
