Life Update: Anxiety, Social Media and More

Posted on February 7, 2021February 8, 2021

Hello my loves! I hope everyone’s doing great. ¡Hola mis amores! Espero que a todos estén bien.

I wanted to give you a life update of everything that has been going on, promise not to bore you. So, this year, I’m going to get a little more personal with my blog posts because I’ve been through a lot of life experiences, I know will help you all. Now onto that; no one’s perfect. We all have personal situations and battles we face every day. Though everyday may not be 100% perfect each day contains its share of blessings.

Quería darles una actualización de mi vida sobre todo lo que ha estado sucediendo, prometo no aburrirlos. Este año, voy a ser un poco más personal con las publicaciones de mi blog porque he pasado por muchas experiencias de vida, sé que los ayudará a todos. Ahora en eso; nadie es perfecto. Todos tenemos situaciones personales y batallas que enfrentamos todos los días. Aunque todos los días no son 100% perfectos, cada día contiene bendiciones.

One of my main goals this year is to put myself first and practice more self-love. I’m focused on working harder towards my dreams, making the most of every moment, taking more risks and fully taking care of myself mentally and physically. For my mental health I’ll be spending less time on social media. Now this can be hard as I am a blogger, content creator, influencer and social media strategist. It’s basically my job to be online but I had to put a control on timing. That doesn’t mean I won’t be posting my usual content, not at all. I simply won’t be spending as much time consuming social media. All the data we consume on social media can be overwhelming, stressful and produces lots of anxiety. I’m focused on creating and posting the content I need to share and quickly exiting the platform for my own personal health.

Uno de mis principales objetivos este año es ponerme en primer lugar y practicar más el amor propio. Estoy enfocada en trabajar más duro para lograr mis sueños, aprovechar al máximo cada momento, tomar más riesgos y cuidarme por completo mental y físicamente. Por mi salud mental, pasaré menos tiempo en las redes sociales. Ahora bien, esto puede ser difícil ya que soy bloguero, creadora de contenido, “influencer” y estratega de redes sociales. Básicamente, mi trabajo es estar en línea, pero tuve que poner un control de tiempo. Eso no significa que no voy a publicar mi contenido habitual, en absoluto. Simplemente no gastaré tanto tiempo consumiendo las redes sociales. Todos los datos que consumimos en las redes sociales pueden ser abrumadores, estresantes y producen mucha ansiedad. Estoy enfocada en crear y publicar el contenido que necesito compartir y salir rápidamente de la plataforma por mi propia salud personal.

Like many, I suffer from anxiety. My last panic attack was during the beginning of the pandemic. I’m not going to describe my anxiety nor complain about it because I consider myself a very strong woman but I will share how I conquer it. I don’t take any medications for it, but I have changed a lot in my lifestyle to better my condition from taking omega 3 capsules, exercising more, practicing more positivity and affirmations, relaxation techniques and limiting my caffeine intake. Yes, I love coffee. I’ll admit that excluding it from my life has been hard but my extreme addiction to coffee was making my anxiety worse and giving me heart palpitations. So, I replaced my coffee with iced matcha latte and I have to say it’s made a big difference in my health. Matcha has many benefits like boosting energy and brain function, it’s a stress reliever, prevents cancer, helps lose weight and is great for anti-aging. Yes, the perks of drinking matcha are life changing and those are just a few. Since its flavor is a bit earthy, I like to combine mine with soy milk and vanilla. If your also looking for something to help your stress and anxiety I recommend you try matcha.

Como muchos, sufro de ansiedad. Mi último ataque de pánico fue durante el comienzo de la pandemia. No voy a describir mi ansiedad ni a quejarme porque me considero una mujer muy fuerte pero compartiré como la supero. No tomo ningún medicamento para eso, pero he cambiado mucho en mi estilo de vida para mejorar mi condición, desde tomar cápsulas de omega 3, hacer más ejercicio, practicar más positividad y afirmaciones, técnicas de relajación y limitar mi consumo de cafeína. Sí, me encanta el café. Debo admitir que excluirlo de mi vida ha sido difícil, pero mi extrema adicción al café empeoraba mi ansiedad y me producía palpitaciones. Entonces, reemplacé mi café con matcha latte y debo decir que ha marcado una gran diferencia en mi salud. Matcha tiene muchos beneficios como aumentar la energía y la función cerebral, es un calmante para el estrés, previene el cáncer, ayuda a perder peso y es excelente para combatir el envejecimiento. Sí, las ventajas de beber matcha cambian la vida y esas son solo algunas. Como su sabor es un poco fuerte, me gusta combinar el mío con leche de soya y vainilla. Si también estás buscando algo que te ayude con el estrés y la ansiedad, te recomiendo que pruebes el matcha.

Onto another update, if you follow me on Instagram you already know I started taking boxing classes. It’s always been a goal of mine to learn. It’s a great sport for reducing stress, self- defense, improving your focus, better endurance, it’s a confidence builder and it totally makes me feel bad ass. Building my self-defense skills has been something that peeked my attention for a while. I’m an independent and busy woman. Unfortunately, in Puerto Rico there has been a rise in robbery and abductions so learning to protect yourself is a must. I wanted to learn real skills because let’s face it carrying pepper spray on my keys isn’t enough.

En otra actualización, si me siguen en Instagram ya saben que comencé a tomar clases de boxeo. Siempre ha sido una de mis metas aprender. Es un gran deporte para reducir el estrés, la autodefensa, mejorar la concentración, mejorar la resistencia, genera confianza y me hace sentir “bad ass”. Desarrollar mis habilidades de autodefensa ha sido algo que me llamó la atención por un tiempo. Soy una mujer independiente y ocupada. Desafortunadamente, en Puerto Rico ha habido un aumento en robos y secuestros, por lo que aprender a protegerse es imprescindible. Quería aprender habilidades reales porque seamos sinceros, llevar spray de pimienta en las llaves no es suficiente.

Moving onto other gossip I fully binge watched Cobra Kai on Netflix. During my adolescent years I was a huge fan of Karate Kid and the original Cobra Kai. The series is really good, can’t wait for season 4.  I have also been obsessed with WandaVision on Disney+. At first I wasn’t to wowed with the show but then it got better. The fifth episode left me speechless. The only problem is that Disney launching an episode a week. Fun fact I use to collect comic books as a kid. It’s funny how I love fashion but I’m also a huge fan of superheroes any action movies or series.  Though you’ll never catch watching anything that’s thriller or horror. Nope that’s not for me, they fully terrify me.

En otro chisme, ya vi Cobra Kai en Netflix. Durante mi adolescencia fui un gran admirador de Karate Kid y el Cobra Kai original. La serie esta bien  buena, estoy ansiosa de ver la cuarta temporada.  También he estado obsesionado con WandaVision en Disney +.  Al principio no me cautivó, pero luego mejoró. El quinto episodio me dejó sin palabras. El único problema es que Disney lanza un episodio a la semana. Dato curioso yo coleccionaba comics de nena. Es chistoso como amo la moda pero también soy fan de los superhéroes y toda película o serie de acción. Jamás me verás  ver algo de terror y miedo. No esas tramas no son para mi, me dan pánico.

Before finishing this life update post I wanted to discuss my fashion look in the photos. I’ve been obsessed with bodysuits, jeans and basic natural colors. This 2021 you’re going to see a lot of white, beige, black, grey and brown in my style. Bodysuits are a girls best friend. They are versatile, hug your body like a glove and have a flattering fit. I own different styles but this white sweater thong bodysuit is my recent fav. It combines the characteristics I loo for in my fashion pieces feminine, sexy, classy and chic.

Antes de terminar esta publicación, quería hablar sobre mi look de moda en las fotos. Estoy obsesionada con los bodys, los jeans y los colores neutrales e básicos. Este 2021 verán mucho blanco, beige, negro, gris y marrón en mi estilo. Los bodysuits son la mejor amiga de las chicas. Son versátiles, abrazan tu cuerpo como un guante y tienen un ajuste favorecedor. Tengo diferentes estilos, pero este body de tanga de suéter blanco es mi favorito. Combina las características que busco en mis piezas de moda femeninas, sexys, con clase y chic.

Finishing up, there’s a lot of great things coming up. I’m super excited, so stay tuned for my blog post and social media platforms.

Para terminar, se avecinan muchas cosas buenas. Estoy muy emocionado, así que estén atentos a la publicación de mi blog y las plataformas de redes sociales.

Be You, Be Lovely
