The most important thing is “take it on the nice side.” Being locked up in the wild, we had not done it in my generation but once, when a National Census was carried out for one (1) single day, that nobody could go out. And perhaps in a curfew by Carlos Lleras to leave the presidency to Misael Pastrana Borrero and take it away from General Rojas Pinilla.

In short, we must take advantage of this time to recover energy, take an inventory of our life and of the things that we have pending in the financial and personal administration of our homes. We all have “many pending”, which we have been “leaving for later”; but we have allowed them to accumulate not only administratively but family and filially. How long has it been since we called and talked to our best friends? With our children, grandchildren ?, in short there are so many things that we have pending, hobbies to develop such as painting, carpentry, cooking, dedicating more time to the love of our lives and our furry 4-legged loves who go crazy with their tails when we come to the house.

Do you know how many weeks you have contributed to your pension? It is time to stop balls to that. Do you know how you are with DIAN? Do you have your car in order, with a mechanical technical revision and SOAT up to date, or, the car taxes at the departmental or municipal level? Are you up to date on your debts? All these questions must be asked, but the most important is: Are you in good health? How long has the last check-up been done? Today you can make an appointment with your GP. Your doctor should order your routine exams and proceed to preventive medicine, because suddenly you can diagnose diseases such as metabolic prediabetes, or hyperlipidemia or others. There are pathologies such as hypertension that are silent and hardly manifest themselves more than with a voltage taking or monitoring of it.

Take advantage to exercise and nutritional changes in your life. In other words, changes in lifestyle. Lately several patients have come to me accusing insomnia, anxiety and psychosomatic illnesses. I am not a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but I must play that role, as a person who listens for up to 40 minutes to a patient in order to make a proper diagnosis and treatment.

We are in an era for which no one was prepared worldwide. Not even in the most cached Colombian, North American or European universities, they studied in their curriculum an anti-human project of such great magnitude and no politician has any idea how to manage it. They are just improvising, even we doctors are raw about it.
