Why ‘waste’ our time is important: Tamanna takes

In my previous article, I explored Mexico’s attitude for timeI have found that it evaluates quality experiences than productivity – this is completely different from the Americanized vision, which often considers time as a matter of time.

Living in Mexico has inspired me to question me: Why is it time?

Does it enjoy life or simply turned into a token matters?

I have always stuck with me with a quotation of Jerry Seanfeld: “ThE. The secret of life is to waste time in ways you want.”

I have been thinking a lot recently about this and I want to “waste” my time properly and diving deeply to understand that I wanted to share my journey with you.

In fact, I have approached this search in two filler ways: First, by collecting wisdom from people’s life experiences (through personal conversations and research), books, podcasts and online research; Second, by exploring cultural perspectives through metaphors in the movies I have seen in my past. My research may go towards an American perspective, but I believe that it reveals the universal facts that violate cultural boundaries.

Joint wisdom from those who lived it:

When people over the age of 50 ask what they would advise the younger, many themes continued. The selected summary of what I found that I was very relevant to my search is as follows:

1. In assessing relationships: Work and money will come, but it does not compensate for what we do not have in life. Invest in developing relationships. Make trips together. Go together for adventures. Create a community you want to be part of.
2. In worrying less about other people’s opinions: When we are young, we try to worry about what everyone thinks, and when we get older, we finally realize that no one else is thinking about us. Learn to learn about you just like you, you will be very happy with “you”. I noticed this quote of Christopher Walkan: “If you know how quickly people forget the dead, you will stop living to attract people.”
3. In taking care of health: It is important to have a healthy body with a healthy mind, but they are often not connected. It is difficult to change your life until you make small changes in your daily routine. A quote of an elderly woman: “Being thin is not the end, everything. Eat the pizza pieces and order the sweetness. I wasted the rest of my teens and the early twenties of my weight and calorie intake.”
4. Assessment time: Take risks, learn to fail, travel, look at the world when you are young – this is your choices before. You have to be slow to increase the speed. Many people mention that it is sad to postpone meaningful experiences until he retirees.
5. In the emotions: Learn to go. Do not keep the odds. Don’t be angry when you get stuck in traffic; Focus on what you can control. Everyone is not worthy of power over your emotions; Be selected. Do not realize the need to fix dumb people. Healing does not mean that you will always feel happiness, and you no longer need to understand what happened.

From a different view of life and death:

The intriguing, when we did my online research around the most fear, it revealed that the most common fear of general speaking rows was, and death was the most common fear.

This was amazing to me because I avoid talking in public, but death was inevitable. So, why should we be afraid of a lifetime? This may also reflect a fundamental difference in the cultural approaches of death.

American culture often depicts death as a mysterious, terrifying and eventual experience. On the contrary, the Mexican culture considers death as part of the cycle of life, which is like the concept of their time. This perspective is beautifully manifested in the celebrations of Thea de Los Murdos, where death is not feared, but is celebrated as renewal and rebirth. For many Mexican people, death refers to a collective experience, where the spirits reunite with the loved ones – a vision I see very comfort and less fear.

What is the most stable message across philosophical and religious traditions The subject of life is expressed by the intention of intention with the challenges, not from direct following happiness.

Some of my favorite books, the search for the meaning of Victor Frankal’s “man,” Balo Goelho’s “The Algumist” and the “Joy of Joy” by the Dalai Lama and Tesmond Tutu, all light this fact from different angles.

Although Mexico does not officially appoint a “blue zone”, the results of the research of the writer Don Beutner bring this point in a firm way.

The Mexican cultural procedures are significantly compatible with blue zonal policies. Footner’s research on the unique position of Mexico among the happy people of the world reveals a combination of cultural, environmental and social practices that are accompanied by policies found in the blue zones. He emphasizes that Mexican receives deep joy from extended family and social networks that provide emotional and financial setbacks.

The opinion of the family includes aunts, uncles and distant relatives beyond the nuclear unit, which creates a “broad security net.” He notices how Mexican prioritizes the social contact on wealth, and happy people engage in face -to -face socialization for up to six hours daily. His research is that Mexican, culturally, the ability to combine happiness with personal values, even if it is against the structural limits, is related to happiness.

Cultural forwards of some of the movies I have seen:

In my adolescence, I remember two movies that analyzed the purpose of life.

In my 20s, I saw Manty Bithan’s “meaning of life”. The film examines the status of life through sketches and songs such as ridiculous, Salvadar Dali. Its message seems to be ridiculous and confusing, so it is best to laugh at it. This is the best British.

In my twenties (with fellow intellectuals in the graduate school), even though I have seen it a couple of times between heavy British pronunciation and satire, I think the news has lost a little on me. It is noteworthy, however, that many of today’s important comedians share the same opinion.

“The Hitchigar’s Guide Galaxy” is another picture I saw in my 30s. It basically makes fun of the illusion of the luxury of mankind, not a problem to solve the inherent meaning of life, but a fact of embrace. I saw that perspective funny and confused; After that, I was very young to worry about such deep and complex life lessons.

Recently, I decided to see the movie “Cocoa” Picture after the Tia de Los Miurtos celebrations in Mexico for the past few years. Cocoa aging traditions, contacts with each other, and the questions around our own presence, spinning the nature of time. At this time, my biggest journey from “Cocoa” is that self-discovery is the greatest and sole purpose of life-in this case, the life journey of Miguel, with his roots and values ​​by his personal dreams.

These insights are the approach of the rotation for Mexico’s time, as I am old, so deeply echoed with me, where moments are not spent, but not stored.

My learning is that the amount of time we take often leads to the comparative structure: I achieved more today than yesterday? Do I use the best time than others? I achieved more at a particular time than others?

These questions prioritize comparisons for subjective completion. Inadvertently, the use of that thought often prevents me from living in the present. In contrast to this, the standard experiences are deeply unique and based on how something creates something I feel.

A conversation with a loved one, a walk or a walk on the Pacific on the Pacific, has an hour of spending an hour of spending an hour because it exceeds the size and comparison. I need a little hope, courage and patience to prioritize my inner voice, but my environment Catalyst On that journey.
