How many in your family/community/group are living with the Mayan calendar?
It's only me
How do you use the Mayan Calendar in your everyday life? Do you combine it with the Gregorian calendar?
I've combined the Mayan Calendar with the Gregorian calendar, only because I'm not sure how willing some people are to consider it. I check Mayan Majix whenever I get the chance for the daily tzolkin, but I've realized I'll need to have the calendar in my hands in order to apply it consistently and correctly, and to not rely solely on the internet.
How has the Mayan Calendar influenced or changed your way of life or thinking?
First and foremost it has made me a much happier person. I feel I control the events in my life and have a much better understanding of my purpose in life, and it gives me a severe drive to live, when in the past I was very depressed and considering suicide. The idea of that is asinine now that I follow the Mayan calendar. I'm much more open to the differences in people and I find myself much more peaceful and less aggressive, I almost rarely get angry anymore. I know how to handle almost all situations handed to me, which other people seem to struggle with and be severely frustrated for long durations of time.
What challenges or difficulties have you encountered in integrating the Mayan Calendar into your daily life?
At first I wasn't sure what the calendar was about, and it almost took me a bit to catch on to the progression of it. It was also weird following something that no one else was following. It was kind of confusing, but exciting at the same time. It was like I was onto something that was confusing me but I felt innately it would work out.
What do you feel are the benefits of living with the Mayan Calendar?
Feeling content with just existing, better appreciation of literally everything, happier lifestyle, and really an overall better time!
