🌺 ¡Hola! ¡Hola! 🌺
Of the things I have done on #Hive over the past 4 years, never! I imagined rummaging through the trash, looking for waste to turn into art 🙃. Well, with the help of @esperanzalandia, I told myself: "me, never say no to life's opportunities, especially when it comes to personal and emotional growth," so I thank her for thinking of me for this exercise 🤗. I always jokingly say that "they put lawyers in preschool in me to do cut and paste" 😆, because I don't do it very well. Honestly, I blocked many memories of my childhood, and among them is school. I don't remember if I was cheerful, happy, playful, or quiet; it's something that has forced me to introspect without any answers. What I am sure of is that I dedicated myself to studying and learning what things so common in girls, like being flirtatious, delicate, careful, or even having nice handwriting, are about. That's why, when @miriannalis invited me to the exercise, my first impression was 'let it go because you're not good at this,' but by teaching behavior and paradigm shift to others, I decided to apply it to myself and changed to the following thought: 'WHAT IF WE TRY IT?' 😊.

I read the post several times and the purpose was to understand: How can we get the best or find answers from trash? And once again, I removed the emotional block of wanting to abandon the exercise and got to work. The first thing I found was the waste. Believing in the word of God that "all things work for good," it turns out I was sharing time with my Oratory students, and while everyone was opening the different sweets they had brought, I was carefully putting them aside. When they noticed, they asked me for what purpose, and I responded, "It's a therapy" 😊.

I kept them in a bag and for several days they were turning from my bag to the room, from the room to the folder, from the folder to the bag; they came and went from one place to another. Why? Because I was still blocked on how to start or do it correctly. Although, as I said at the beginning, I read the technique several times, in my rational, logical, balanced, structured mind, how was the garbage going to help me? And here I remembered that girl who cut it off, who didn't imagine, who wasn't creative, and it gave me the impulse to say "The day has come" and that's how I started with the exercise. I took a small sheet, and with glue, crayons, scissors and bags of candy in hand, I began to organize. I took some time to see what I had, if I wanted to put something specific, pending the shapes, and spatial distribution; Be careful, always repeating to myself that that was not important, but I can't change from one day to the next either, so I wasn't so that girl who was emerging in me.

Little by little I saw details, things that sometimes I didn't read about the packaging normally and colors, many colors that caught my attention. While I was cutting, I felt comfortable, safe, confident, not having rules or perfection, made me have fewer details and more enjoyment of the activity.

¿Qué aprendí?
What did I learn? That certainly, besides enjoying what I did, I should not demand too much from myself when I do things. This relaxed me, took me out of my comfort zone, of my ease, even from that role of teacher that is always being questioned or of thinking that I have to be an example for the students, but rather, being that learner, that novice, eager to learn, to know, and to feel that fear of making mistakes "even if there are no rules. "I want to share that I loved the activity, and I would like to learn much more to put it into practice during some training, because I agree that it can be useful for many things, such as motivation, active breaks, improving creativity, and stimulating that multiple brain, moving away from reasoning toward creation and a different visual approach.
Finally, I would like to apply it to young people who are currently unmotivated; everything is boring, a 'I don't know,' 'I don't care,' and I think it would be an excellent exercise in internal connection and putting aside electronic devices, which are causing so much harm in the classroom and where their use should be controlled, but often supervision gets out of hand. The process is somewhat complicated, but with playful activities, we can discover interests where no one else sees them, such as in the case of garbage or things we no longer consider useful 😉.
