You will be OK

People who claim to know me well
keep telling me I always land on my feet
like if some class of Latin cat female
but I feel I am just a cheat

It is more than impostor syndrome,
goes to the roots of being
your whole believing dome
shutters, it is not forbidding

when on the positive thoughts that you hold inside
start disappearing and you are empty
whatever they said
has zero value in your modus vivendi

Even if you were a problem solver
and a fighter, after getting hit hard
and falling again harder,
you become a destroyer


A destroyer of your dreams
and your positivity and you can sleep no more
The hope disappears,
you feel that you are not unbreakable anymore

Stop telling me "you will be OK"
I prefer to be dead right now
and you can't relay
I have to deal with myself somehow.

Again and again

I missed a meeting today,
I didn't get a notification
and I felt like this happened before
I lost the train of vocation.

Again and again, I am feeling I am arriving too late
that the train left the station
and I am just standing there waiving my dreams goodbye
seeing the melting chocolate.

Sometimes is the world speeding up
and leaving me behind
it is not only about technology
it is about lexicon and growing up.

Again and again, I waiving progress pass by
even if I try to evolve I am stuck in old habits
like if my time has been set to standby
and all my time is in debit.

The evil part that hides in all of us

It is so difficult some days
to deal with the mess of the world
I can't just close my eyes
and pretend I blind
because I can still hear it
the noise of confusion and terror
the people and animals suffering
the innocents living a horror.


Even dealing with my own problems,
they seem so small compare
with the suffering instigated by injustice
and the evil part that hides in all of us.
Even if you don't want to hurt anyone
sometimes getting your way
and finding your freedom
produces the ripple effect
to damage others.

The problem in my voice and looks

My voice sounds young,
however, it is not
I understood when you clung
to your misconception of my voice note

You put me in the youngster, 
inexperience and newbie bracket
because you heard something yester
that reminded you of  high pitch packet

Let me tell you: you are wrong
I am not young, neither my voice
I have been suffering this discrimination for my lifelong
and keep doing this to me is your choice

Your branding is unfair,
it hurts me and my career
I know I also look fair
and this not helping when I appear

Please stop judging me for my appearance
and the sound of my voice
there is way more behind this face
and a lot to offer to the ones who let me rejoice

Perception

Why are you doing this?
Why are you giving me negative feedback?
Are you trying to make a better person?
Or are just annoyed because we don't share the same opinion?


Why all this feels so unfair?
Because we have different perceptions
We have different values
we are on different sides of the ocean


I am looking at your from the far west
and you yelling at me from the far end
yelling against the wind
begging the summer haze to transport your words.

Frustration on the edge

Frustrated for the lack of understanding
I am getting upset with you
the anger is boiling
and it will explode like popcorn.


Why are you asking these stupid questions?
How can you say such things?
Are you not processing your thought before you spit them to me?

This is ludicrous

I am on the edge of collapsing 
and I lost the count of my deep breaths,
I am so done and roasted that I can't do this anymore.

How to be productive? be happy and kind

Lessons learned after reading a lot about productivity and try some of the tricks, failed and try again... (to be honest still trying)
The happiness advantage happier people performs better: happier ppl are 31 % more productive and have 37% better sales figures than unhappy people.
Sleeping is the best for productivity. I am not an early bird, I am more productive at night and I love to oversleep on the weekends (who doesn't?)

I went from the 4 agreements (always do your best, be honest with your word, don't take things personally, do not make assumptions) to some of the 12 rules of life (Stand up straight with your shoulders straight, treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping, befriend people who want the best for you, compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not the useless person you are today, do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them, set your house in order before you criticise the world, pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient, tell the truth. Or at least don’t lie, assume the person you are listening to knows something you don’t...)
For some reason I do better on my professional related goals than the personal ones, anyways every week I set 3 main goals and 3 goals per day that I focus on first thing int he morning.
Little steps are better than no step, creating habits is fundamental and I am terrible at it :) so creating small steps and changes that I can keep on when my motivation to make big changes washes away was a key factor in sustainable habits.
Working out... a must, even for 20 min a day.
For example, I have a 20 min mandatory workout per day =, that I do even if the sky is falling, and a 14 min meditation that I can squeeze at any point, even in the tube.
