Steemit has fractured the notion of time. I looked back and I feel like years have passed since I made my first publication. I find it hard to assimilate that in just a few months it has totally turned around what my routines have been.
For many of us we must have had a before-steemit time in which life went by in a remarkably different way than it does now. Where we had a lot less space to focus on our most creative traits.
In the pre-steemit era, my days had turned into a succession of depressive times, the situation of the country had me on the ground. There was not second in which I could free myself from some thought about inflation, the lack of cash, with the difficulty to get antihypertensive drugs, anyway ... all those things that we Venezuelans know very well.
For my own good I have managed to advance. It might be thought that there is something paradoxical about it, since the situation holds. But no, although none of the problems that triggered the anguish in my way of thinking have disappeared, on the contrary, they have increased, I have managed to focus my attention on a set of activities of the most edifying that I have known in my short life.
Cleaning of the mental house.
This idea is not original, some time ago I read it, I saw it, or I heard it somewhere, I don’t remember when or where, in fact, I do not think it is relevant to pinpoint its origin in my intellectual space.
The simile seemed pretty good, it is about doing any cleaning, only at the level of the thoughts that overwhelm us or that generate us hopelessness. What for? To leave room for other thoughts that helps us to be better.
Changing some thoughts for others is a process in which a new source of positive ideas is needed, capable of displacing the space occupied by harmful thoughts. That's where Steemit enters the scene.
New routines, new thoughts
With Steemit I have managed to rebuild my old routines. I start my days doing a review of the answers I have had from my followers or from the people to whom I have commented on. A good start to fill the spirit of euphoria, of positive energy. It is very exciting to find the comments of all those who are slowly becoming a desired visit with which you feel good, although you do not have to agree with.
After reading the comments I spend some time finding new blogs that are related to my interests and needs, that is another interesting activity, it is a kind of fishing in a great ocean of writings. Like all fishing, it takes patience, but the result is satisfactory when you manage to find a good blog that you decide to follow.
No less important is the post investigation and construction process. There is nothing that generates more positive energy than that mental process of taking the post from the idea to the characters inscribed on the computer screen.
I have been surprised by the result of incorporating these new routines in my daily work. Today I can tell you that the balance has been positive. I have managed to free all that mental waste that had me half paralyzed.
Of course, the mental house cleaning process has to be permanent, just like you would at your home or in your room. If you neglect you will soon have the dump full and the overwhelm will have its best condition to settle again.
Some could say that I have found a way to escape. My answer: yes and no. I have not ceased to be aware of all the problems that exist around me, but I do not let it fully invade me. I give it the space it deserves and check it out for it not to be too big.
Steemit has been a good balm to overcome the morass. I am very attentive to the signals. When I feel the nearness of discouragement, my alerts are triggered and I run to turn on the computer.
