WHAT MY DIVORCE TAUGHT ME
I try to find positive moments in any, even the most unpleasant, event. The divorce that suddenly happened about a year ago taught me to understand myself much better.
And I consider this the main goal in life — to know oneself. And the divorce definitely brought me closer to this goal.
The main advantage was the expansion of my social circle. As a result, I got acquainted with a large number of ideas and viewpoints that changed — and continue to change — my habits.
THE HABITS OF YOUR FUTURE SELF
These habits are close to my target image of myself. The version of me who is not limited by anything and “lives his ideal life.”
One of these habits is living as if in a hotel. I usually cook only breakfast at home. After breakfast I work and then go to a shopping mall, where I spend about 2–3 hours in the gym, the pool, and the food court. After that, I feel a boost of good mood for the entire day.
The second habit is the topics of conversations with people. The longer I live, the more I understand the depth of Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous saying: “Small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas.”
GOSSIP AND NEWS — INTO THE TRASH
It is absolutely pointless to discuss other people. First, it is the act of putting subjective labels on them; second, it will not change anything in life — it’s just empty chatter that drains time and energy.
The same goes for events. 99% of news is information noise that will lose any meaning within a week. Therefore, if we read the news for half an hour every day or watch event-driven reels for hours, we are draining 99% of potentially useful time.
That is exactly why I recently deleted Instagram and other event-based platforms from my personal phone, leaving them only on my work phone.
CONCLUSIONS
I am glad that over this past year I realized that I choose to live every day as if I were staying at a hotel. And I am proud that I made the decision to try not to discuss with people the everyday problems of others or random daily news.
It is much better to discuss dreams and life goals. For example, where you will go on your next vacation and what you want to get out of that trip.
