Procastination and what it means to me.

To procastinate, means not to care about consequences, not to care about the future, to explore fantasies, daydreams, and distractions as there's always a lingering fear in the procastinator, this growing fear of confronting, of creating, of working, making an effort.

In my case, I find it destructive how my brain makes me absolutely afraid of getting things done in time, and when the time comes, I feel extremely regretful and instantly feel like I should've done things earlier, or with more time. It's ridiculous, it even sounds like an excuse.

Unfortunately, I think procastination is not only laziness, there's something deeper there, for me it's just the fact that I've spent most of my life daydreaming and filling voids with fantasies and self-indulgent activities that rarely materialize into productivity, and even when they do, they don't really do much for my professional life. This habit of fantasizing roots from childhood traumas and lack of good parenting, has made me look at the world in a way where things are made up in my mind and where I fit situations to fit my own dreams.

And that has to come to a stop! because sometimes, I imagine myself leaving this world before I turn 30 (as im scared of the future), and think that there's no point on working or being productive if I will only live till 29. Which is something I relate to this generation that has no patience and wants inmediate results on anything.

Lookism.

Recently I watched a movie called The Neon Demon that showcases a society where people only care about you if you're good looking, it's quite gory and tragic but it has a really interesting take on this topic that people seem to ignore for the sake of being a good person. When in reality, there's nothing wrong with talking about it, and in fact, it could help people who feel insecure about themselves, if done correctly. This movie showcases the obsession of beauty as something toxic and distopic. There's even a theory called Lookism that says that if you look good people will treat you nice your entire life or at least until you lose your looks. It's like racism but ''lookism'', like being racist but not because of your race/skin but the way you look. This theory is absolute bollocks in my opinion and so many young men have created online communities where they straight up ask other men if life is even worth living because their noses have a...

About me

Hello, my name is Julio César Pulido Ayala, I was born in January 18th 1999, which makes me 21 years old. I'm currently studying the English Teaching major at FES Acatlán university, and I'm also a proof-reader on my free time, for a little bit of money and as a productive hobby, also. Besides that, I like to talk to native English-speakers on a daily basis, through the app Discord, where I have made a lot of friends who share similar interests in movies, videogames, and other stuff, so we chat every day as I don't really go out much in real life besides whenever I get a job as an English teacher, usually while on a break from classes so the schedule doesn't interfere too much with school, since I live pretty far away from college. This blog will be dedicated to the class of ''Professional Practice'' where I will be posting assignments and stuff related to it.

The impact of exercise while in quarantine.

Exercise releases different chemicals from your brain, and it always helps relieve stress when needed, in my experience, it always helps so much now that a lot of us are stuck at home, and sometimes feel extremely tense, unmotivated and even depressed. Unfortunately, time passes by so quickly when there's no habit of schedule, that I tend to miss days where I don't exercise and then regret it. Matter of fact is, working out at 12 am or 1 am is not the best idea, but I do it when time slips off of my hands and I realize it's way too late and I hadn't worked out. I feel like my body is out of wack, and it's the weirdest experience. I miss having my walks to college everyday, even though they were a long trip, seeing people on the train and the bus was always fun, albeit scary sometimes, as there's always a possibility of being mugged or something. Push-ups are definately my go-to exercise whenever I feel extremely tense, and squats are also a good replacement ...
