Ladies of Hive Community Contest #271| Concurso comunitario de Damas de Hive n.° 271
Greetings, dear @ladiesofhive community, welcome to my blog and my participation in the Ladies of Hive Community Contest #271, questions from the lady @merit.ahama.

1- The year just began! What have you decided to release for a better year? Have you noticed any small wins from it yet? If it’s too early, simply share what you chose to release.
What I most want to get rid of in my life are the expectations, plans, or ideas I create in my head about things, situations, or people—things I want to happen or wish had happened, but which almost never turn out as I imagine. Then I'm filled with frustration, disappointment, pain, and a sense of loss. It's something that truly hurts me, that robs me of my peace of mind, an internal struggle that wears me down. I can't cling to something I can't control, something that doesn't depend on me and doesn't change the reality of the situation. I think we suffer more from what we imagine than from what actually happens. Creating expectations is following a protocol that only exists in our minds. We're happier when we don't expect specific results, but rather when things happen as they're meant to.
The root of all disappointment lies in the expectations we place on the behavior of others. People are human; they have their strengths, weaknesses, flaws, and virtues. They act according to their principles, values, and way of being. It has nothing to do with you. We need to change our perspective, stop thinking about the other person, and focus on our own decisions. Everyone gives what they have within. Let's learn to walk with a heart open to the unknown, to enthusiastically embrace each experience, to allow ourselves to be surprised, and to understand that life is not linear.

2- We all have favorite foods, but not everyone enjoys cooking them. What’s that one meal you love to prepare? Share the dish, your experience, and highlight one power ingredient that makes it special. Recipes are welcome!
Without a doubt, my favorite food is Chinese food: chop suey, chow mein, fried rice, soups, spring rolls, and sweet and sour chicken and pork. I love that combination of sweet, salty, sour, bitter, spicy, and aromatic flavors, but I rarely cook it myself. I love to cook: soups, stews, lasagna, pizza, roast beef, our hallaca (the main dish we enjoy during Christmas and New Year's celebrations), and our pabellón criollo, which comes with black beans, shredded beef, white rice, and fried plantains—a Venezuelan delicacy! I'll share the recipe soon.

Saludos apreciada comunidad @ladiesofhive, bienvenidos a mi blog y a mi participación en el concurso Ladies of Hive Community Contest #271, preguntas de la dama @merit.ahama.

1- ¡El año recién comienza! ¿Qué has decidido dejar ir para tener un año mejor? ¿Has notado ya alguna pequeña ganancia? Si es demasiado pronto, simplemente comparte lo que elegiste publicar.
Lo que más deseo sacar de mi vida son las expectativas, planes o ideas que me hago en mi cabeza de las cosas, situaciones o personas, que quiero que suceda o que hubiera querido que pasara, pero casi nunca suceden como lo imagino, entonces me lleno de frustración, decepción, dolor y sensación de pérdida es algo que realmente me hace daño, que me roba la tranquilidad, una lucha interna que me desgasta, no puedo aferrarme a algo que no puedo controlar, que no depende de mi y no cambia la realidad de los hechos.
Pienso que sufrimos más por lo que imaginamos qué por lo que realmente sucede, crear expectativas es seguir un protocolo que solo existe en nuestra cabeza somos más felices cuando no esperas resultados concretos sino que pasa lo que tiene que pasar.
La madre de las decepciones habita en las expectativas que ponemos en el comportamiento de los demás, las personas son humanos tienen sus luces, sombras, errores y virtudes actúan de acuerdo a sus principios, valores y forma de ser, nada tiene que ver contigo, hay que cambiar ese enfoque, dejar de pensar en la otra persona y centrarnos en nuestras propias decisiones cada quien da lo que tiene dentro, aprendamos a caminar con un corazón dispuesto para vivir lo desconocido, recibir con entusiasmo cada experiencia, dejarnos sorprender, entender que la vida no es lineal.

2- Todos tenemos comidas favoritas, pero no a todos les gusta cocinarlas. ¿Cuál es esa comida que te encanta preparar? Comparte el plato, tu experiencia, y resalte un ingrediente poderoso que lo haga especial. ¡Las recetas son bienvenidas!
Sin duda mi comida favorita es comida china Chop suey, Chow mein, arroz frito, sopas, lumpias, pollo y cerdo agridulce me encanta esa combinación dulce, salado, ácido, amargo, picante y aromatizante, pero pocas veces lo cocino yo misma.
A mi me encanta cocinar, sopas, estofados, pasticho, pizza, asado negro, nuestra hallaca plato principal que nos acompaña en las fiestas navideñas y año nuevo y nuestro pabellón criollo que viene acompañado de caraotas o frijoles negro, carne mechada(carne desmenuzada o en hebras) arroz blanco y tajadas (plátano maduro frito) una delicia venezolana, pronto les comparto la receta.

We can't do without expectations but when we are aware of them, we tend to not let them control our decisions.
Sounds like a delicious Chinese food there.
