I think as of recently, my strengths and natural manifestation of the Nahui Ollin have fallen in the critical self-reflection of Tezcalipoca as I have learned to acknowledge that in order to move forward and create, you must first reflect on both dualities of yourself. I think I may be lacking in Huitzilopotchli’s will to act as in many instance I feel the motivation to help the cause is there but we don’t understand what to do.

When considering the Nahui Ollin I feel as my strengths lie with Huitzilopochtli. The will to act positively and create that positive change within our community is definitely something that resonates with me the most.

I connect the most with Xipe Totec because I feel that my strengths lie in my ability to transform and shift in my roles and just in my life generally. I feel that transformation has become more important as I get older in order to continue learning and growing. recently my weaknesses lie in quetzalcoatl because its been hard to generate and take in knowledge when we are burnt out.

The Nahui Ollin is a very restorative structure that is effective in helping reconnect us to the main causes that we all strive for achieving while actively helping us prosper within our inner work.

My biggest strength has to fall under Huitzilopochtli. "to act with a spirit that is positive, progressive, and creative."

My biggest weakness is Tezcatlipoca which represents self-reflection, "silencing the distractions and obstacles in our lives, in order become intellectual warriors.

Personally I would have to say one of my strengths at the moment is self reflection in order to move out of negative spaces and environments . My weakness right now would  be to take action.

I think that I recognize my weaknesses in self reflection, Tezcatlipoca. I think that oftentimes I take reject self reflection because I fear I would learn things about myself that I don't necessarily love, so in a way I carry that negativity with me.  I do think that I most resonate with Quetzalcoatl and the power there is in knowledge.

The Nahui Ollin gives us a different way to understand who we are, the world around us, and our role in it. Through Tezcatlipoca, we begin to uncover deeply buried things in our thinking and lives, which can help begin the process of healing.

By adopting the Nahui Ollin framework, we allow for students to truly reflect on themselves and the issues that affect them and their communities. They are no longer "faceless" or "nameless" and are given the resources to find their own voice and identity which will lead to healing

Its something many of us weren't taught and its a beautiful framework to let others learn about as well. Makes us constantly thinking about our own lives and things we might have not noticed happening. Always reflecting but healing at the same time.

The beauty of the Nahui Ollin is that it offers an iterative process: Reflect -> transform through action -> gain wisdom -> repeat. I love the structure it offers and the clear path it sets to being a better version of yourself.

We must offer a world perspective to those who only know the colonized perspective. despite most of the world having been affected by colonization understanding the strength of history is very important. To me, the biggest story in my transformation came from listening to my abuelito's story. He explained our roots and where we all come from. Teaching others the powerful history that is not taught in school systems today would problematize the current teaching ways. Our history is too powerful.
