Love intensely and allow your heart to experience the fragility of breaking.
Embark on a solo journey and immerse yourself in the unknown.
Confront your fears and present that project, even if you feel butterflies in your stomach.
Take the step to accept that job, even if you feel you're not completely ready.
Challenge your own barriers and engage in deep conversations with people, even if it means hearing stories that shake you emotionally.
Be brave and innovate with your friends, regardless of how crazy it may seem afterwards.
Apply for that job position, even at the risk of rejection.
Start that venture and learn from every stumble.
Change your professional path, even if others think it's too late.
Apply for that job position, even in the face of those who believe you don't meet the requirements. Study what you are passionate about, regardless of others' opinions. Chase your dreams, even if they seem like a utopia to others.
Sing from your soul during that karaoke night; it doesn't matter if you later discover that singing is not your thing.
Dance freely as if no one could see you; forget about looking ridiculous.
Get those dream red boots without paying attention to negative criticism.
Because at the end of the road, we will regret much more for what we didn't do.
We will understand that it is worth taking risks - facing rejection or shame - because that means living fully.
We will tell stories rich in experiences and offer valuable advice, far from regretting being stagnant.
So we can affirm with certainty: we have truly savored life.
Live with Intensity and Purpose
During a session, I vividly remember the story of Marta, a patient who had been trapped in a routine for years. Her life had become an endless cycle of work and household responsibilities.
During our conversation, she tearfully confessed: "I feel like I haven't really lived." This moment was a turning point for both her and me.
Marta had forgotten the essence: the value of living fully. Together, we delved into an introspective journey, exploring her forgotten passions and postponed dreams.
I proposed a simple yet revealing exercise to her; to write a list of things she had always wanted to do but never dared. At first, she struggled to come up with anything to write, but gradually, the list began to grow.
The most striking moment was when Marta decided to take painting classes, something she had always wished for since childhood but never attempted due to fear of judgment. Weeks later, during our session, her face radiated a genuine happiness I had not seen before. She proudly showed me her first piece; it was a reflection of her reborn soul.
This experience taught me a valuable lesson that I now share in motivational talks: it is never too late to rediscover yourself and pursue your dreams. Life is full of opportunities for those willing to step out of their comfort zone.
Living fully doesn't mean achieving great feats every day; it's more about connecting with what makes you come alive and giving it space in your life. As a psychologist and witness to the emotional rebirth of many individuals like Marta, I invite you to reflect: Have you truly embraced your life?
If you feel the answer is negative or you are unsure, that's okay. The first step towards a fulfilled life is acknowledging it. Dare to explore new possibilities and remember; your emotional well-being deserves to be prioritized over social expectations or fear of failure.
Ultimately, living fully is a personal and untransferable journey towards self-discovery. I encourage you to take that first step today; you will never know the wonders that await if you don't dare to seek them.
