My Body Is My Temple

[ruiduartecatana]

🇬🇧 🔥Time is the most valuable commodity in our lives. With a demanding job, a family to take care of, and a fitness routine to maintain, I understand how hard it can be to manage time efficiently. That’s why I swear by the 👉🏼Time Boxing method. By allocating specific time slots for each task, I am able to prioritize and complete my daily tasks without sacrificing quality time with my family or neglecting my fitness goals. I start my day by creating a to-do list and breaking it down into time boxes. This helps me prioritize my tasks and allocate the necessary time for each one. For example, I allocate two hours for checking and responding to emails, and another hour for checking and responding DMs. I also make sure to include breaks in between tasks to refresh my mind and prevent burnout. This method has helped me achieve balance and productivity in all aspects of my life. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!🚀 #timeboxing #productivityhacks #worklifebalance #ruiduartecatana 🇵🇹🇧🇷 🔥 O tempo é o bem mais valioso das nossas vidas. Com um trabalho exigente, uma família para cuidar e uma rotina de treino para manter, eu sei como é difícil gerir o tempo de forma eficiente. É por isso que eu coloco a minha mão no fogo pelo método 👉🏼Time Boxing. Ao alocar slots de tempo específicos para cada tarefa, sou capaz de priorizar e concluir minhas tarefas diárias sem sacrificar o tempo de qualidade com minha família ou negligenciar meus objetivos de fitness. Começo o meu dia criando uma lista de tarefas e dividindo-as em caixas de tempo. Isso me ajuda a priorizar as minhas tarefas e alocar o tempo necessário para cada uma delas. Por exemplo, aloco 2 horas para verificar e responder e-mails e outra hora para responder mensagens aqui. Também me certifico de incluir pausas entre as tarefas para refrescar a minha mente e prevenir o burnout. Este método me ajudou a alcançar equilíbrio e produtividade em todos os aspectos da minha vida. Experimente e me conte como funcionou para você!🚀 #produtividade .⁣ #empreendendo #familia #familytime #meninsuit #lazer #marketingdigital #mindset #beard #timeblocking #timemanagementtips #trabalho https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0dfQ3LISW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes the hardest person to face in the mirror 🪞 is yourself. It’s easy to get caught up in the expectations of others, but at the end of the day, the only person you need to answer to is yourself. Embrace your flaws and imperfections, and use them as motivation to be the best version of yourself. Take a moment today to look in the mirror and appreciate the person looking back at you. Remember that you are worthy and capable of achieving your goals, no matter how big or small. Let’s all strive to be kinder to ourselves and each other. ❤️ Have a wonderful weekend 😉 .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #muscle #lisboa #aesthetic #malemodel #motivação #amorproprio #inspiração #brasil #autoconhecimento #boanoite #bodypositive #lifestyleportugal #mindset #modelshoot #positivity #selflove #selflovejourney #selflovematters #selflovetips #takecareofyourself #vida (em Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnrYrItWl4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy International Women's Day!🙋‍♀️ Today, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women around the world, while also recognizing the ongoing struggle for gender equity. As a father of three girls, I am passionate about advocating for equal rights and opportunities for all women. However, I must also express my opposition to the idea of quotas for women in positions of power. While the intention behind such quotas may be noble, I believe that they ultimately undermine the hard work and qualifications of women who have earned their positions through their own merit. My daughters, my wife and all women, deserve to be judged based on their talents, skills, and experience, rather than their gender. Instead of quotas, I believe we should focus on creating a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture that values diversity and actively works to eliminate biases and barriers to success. Let us continue to work towards a world where every woman has the opportunity to achieve her dreams and reach her full potential. ❤️Happy International Women's Day❤️, and let's keep fighting for a more just and equitable future for all. #InternationalWomensDay #EqualRights #NoQuotas .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #equality #girlboss #internationalwomenday #ladyboss #womenday8march #womenempowerment #womenentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness #womensday #womensrights #ruiduartecatana #3daughters #oliviarodrigo #portuguese #familianumerosa (em Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiHzwWN1OS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Staring 👀 at the world, seeing myself🧔🏻‍♂️ There's something about looking out at the world that never fails to inspire me. Maybe it's the vastness of it all, the endless possibilities and opportunities that exist beyond my own little bubble. Or maybe it's the way that the world reflects back to me my own thoughts, fears, and desires. As I stare out the window 🪟 and watch the 🌎 go by, I can't help but feel a sense of connection to it all. The people rushing past, the cars honking, the birds chirping – it's as if we're all in this together, navigating the chaos and beauty of life one moment at a time. And yet, as much as I see myself reflected in the world around me, I also know that I am unique. My perspective, my experiences, my hopes and dreams – they all shape the way I see the world and the way the world sees 👀 me. So today, I'm embracing the duality of it all – staring at the world, and seeing myself reflected back. It's a reminder that, no matter how chaotic or uncertain things may seem, I am a part of something bigger and more beautiful than I can even imagine.😍 #windowgazing #connection #inspiration #portuguese #portugal #fado #saudade #ruiduartecatana .

Hey there, beautiful souls! Today, I want to talk about something that affects us all at some point in our lives: HATERS. Yes, those negative voices that criticize us, doubt us, and try to bring us down. But here's the thing: haters only hate because they're intimidated by our strength, success, and happiness. They're scared of our potential and the power we have to make a difference in the world. And that's why we must never let their words get to us. Instead, we should use their negativity as fuel to keep going. Let their doubts motivate us to prove them wrong. Let their criticism challenge us to be better and work harder. Let their hate inspire us to spread love and kindness even more. Remember, we can't control what others think of us, but we can control how we react to their opinions. So, let's choose to rise above the hate and be the best version of ourselves. Let's focus on our dreams, our passions, and our goals. And most importantly, let's always be true to ourselves and never let anyone dim our light. So to all my beautiful souls out there, keep shining and don't let the haters bring you down. You got this! 💪🏼✨ Sunglasses @tomford from @visaodeprata (15% off with my code RUICATANAVP) #inspiration #motivation #positivevibes #hatersgonnahate #nevergiveup #keepshining #ruiduartecatana #lisbon #tomfordeyewear #ootd (em Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDZoIsrUdi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Are you struggling 😵‍💫to find the motivation to hit the gym or stick to your fitness routine? Look no further!😉 We all have those days when we'd rather cozy up on the 🛋️ with a bowl of 🍿 than lace up our sneakers and head out for a workout. But the truth is, consistent exercise and a healthy diet are crucial for not just physical but also mental well-being. So how can we find the inspiration and motivation to keep moving forward towards our fitness goals? 🔅First, it's important to identify why you started your fitness journey in the first place. Maybe you want to feel more confident in your own skin, or perhaps you're training for a marathon. Whatever your reason may be, hold onto it and use it as fuel to keep pushing yourself. 🔅 Another great way to stay motivated is by setting realistic, achievable goals for yourself. Celebrate small victories along the way, whether it's being able to run for an extra minute or lifting a heavier weight. These little wins will give you the confidence and drive to keep 👉🏼going. 🔅 It's also helpful to find a workout buddy or accountability partner who shares your goals and can cheer you on when you're feeling down. Joining a fitness class or club can also provide a supportive and encouraging community to keep you motivated. On 👉🏼 @fitnessup_portugal 👈🏼you will find all of this!!

Don’t wait for the perfect body, start with the one you have and make it better every day! The journey is not a sprint , it’s a marathon. Focus on the progress, not perfection. Embrace the grind, the sweat, and the sore muscles. They’re all signs that you’re getting stronger and closer to your goal. Believe in yourself, have patience, and never give up. Your body will thank you 💪🏼 .
