Welcome to your weekly guide on whatās delicious on the web, The Nexialist!
Itās been almost one year since I started The Nexialist, can you believe it? I decided to take a look back on every weekās Nexialist and organize my (and your) favorite brain-sparking content in two parts, The Flashback. Feel free to skim through and click on your favorite themes as a refresher or find something you might have missed, there is a lot of great stuff.
I have to say Iām so proud of what Iām doing here, and I would love to hear from you what you thought about the first year of The Nexialist: any favorite week, anything that stood out for you? Thank you for being there, reading, responding, sharing it (or even saving for later and never reading, I do that all the time).
Iāll start with a shortlist of things that inspired me (or forced me) to change this year, then I proceed to Futures Thinking, Ancestrality and Decolonization, Digital Culture, Concepts I loved, Tools
Things That Changed My Life This Year:
š§ āØThe Nexialist: this project (and you, yes you!) helped me create this sense of independence and commitment. Itās as if I created a system (which I had not intended) to keep myself informed, have fun and feed a flow of content. Thank you for being on this journey with me!
šBullet Journal: #0010 I can visualize and track my weeks, months, and specific behaviors. Also, I can feed on my stationery obsession and take some time to be out of the screens.
šØThe Artistās Way: #0025 This 12-week process reclaimed my brain and helped me get in touch with myself. Thank you, Lalai, for the recommendation and Juan and all the friends that decided to join us.
š«EuroTrip with my Family: #0041 The first trip that my family and I had done in years. It was a dream come true!
š¶āš«ļøBellās Palsy - Facial Paralysis: #0042 Itās been more than 2 months and unfortunately the recovery is slower than expected. Please, send good energies for The Nexialist, who is taking great care of himself š«
