What do you stand behind? • Marcela: I stand behind constantly recognizing and overcoming your limitations. This past year, I limited myself when I held on to unforgiveness, when I internalized other people's ideas of what my career track should look like, when I believed empathy was a sign of weakness, or when I didn't value the beauty of spending time by myself. Not everyone recognizes their internalized limitations, and a lot feel they don't have the support system to overcome them. We were created by a limitless God, which means we need to constantly remind ourselves and each other that we are also limitless. • What kind of habits that you have to start your day right? • Marcela: Every morning, I try to thank God for allowing me to see another day of life. It's easy for me to get distracted in the morning with texts or social media. Last winter, my family didn't have hot water for a while, and showering with cold water in January is also VERY distracting. But through my shivering, I would literally force myself to thank God for another day of life or for the water itself. Being actively grateful is empowering and liberating. So when I catch myself getting sucked into a whirlwind of worries or silly thoughts in the morning, I always stop, pray ""God thank you for giving me another day of life"" and then go on with my day.
