Gentle reminder:
Block out time away from the screen.
Force yourself if you have to.
Read a book for once. Hit the coffee shop. Do anything that gives your mind space to process all of the noise you've accumulated.
You will feel the immense difference in mental clarity.
En la Odisea, pienso que Atenea es ese espíritu interno que tenemos los humanos por seguir adelante, ser osados, honrar la historia de nuestra familia actuar de forma prudente pero atrevida, quizá es la fuerza de voluntad.

Sometimes the best stories begin with getting caught in the rain. 🌧️
In "The Storm," artist Pierre-Auguste Cot captures a young couple caught in a sudden autumn downpour, racing for shelter while using the heroine's overskirt as an impromptu umbrella.
When Cot exhibited this painting at the Salon of 1880, critics speculated about the source of the subject. Some proposed the painting was inspired by the popular French novel "Paul et Virginie," which tells the story of two childhood friends who fall in love. In one memorable scene, the young couple shelters from a sudden rainstorm beneath a shared piece of fabric, closely echoing Cot's composition.
☔️ Stay dry this week and take a cue from "The Storm." Spend a rainy day at The Met, explore the galleries, and who knows—you might just find your own love story along the way!

Once you embrace that attention and the neural circuits for holding attention are plastic/malleable, you’re on your way to better focus.
Learn to ignore/not engage in meaningless drama or numbing out. Or get passed by.
Bite down into some hard work/learning for hours a day.
Película 10/10, cinematografía impecable y detalles cuidados que hacen ver la pasión que se puso en este proyecto, no se siente que dura 3 hrs y provoca una reflexión en la historia y las analogías de esta, la música es perfecta y la cronología muy bien lograda.
