Half this year... I've been through a lot too. 🥲

This half has been a very tired year, 🥲 it's been work, relationships, feelings, so many times it's like standing alone, trying to keep everything quiet and telling yourself, "It'll get better."

This year we tried a lot of things that we never did: quit work, went out of our lives, focused on ourselves, and started to understand that maybe walking out of something isn't a failure. 🤍

Although there are still tired days today, there are still many days to think about, but I'm proud of myself for trying to live to this day, so ✨ want to invite everyone to share what's going on now and have a bad story? 🫶🏻

... Read moreในช่วงครึ่งปีแรกของชีวิต เราอาจเจอกับความเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ท้าทายมากมาย โดยเฉพาะเมื่อเราเลือกที่จะลาออกจากงานที่ทำมานาน เพื่อเปิดโอกาสให้ตัวเองได้พักและกลับมาโฟกัสกับความรู้สึกและความต้องการของตัวเองจริงๆ จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การตัดสินใจออกจากงานไม่ใช่เรื่องง่ายเลย เพราะหลายครั้งเราจะรู้สึกเหมือนกำลังล้มเหลวหรือตกต่ำ แต่ในความเป็นจริง มันคือโอกาสให้เราได้สร้างเส้นทางชีวิตที่เหมาะกับตัวเองและได้เรียนรู้คุณค่าของการดูแลใจ ระหว่างทางเราอาจพบอุปสรรคทั้งในเรื่องการหางานใหม่ ความสัมพันธ์ที่ซับซ้อน หรือแม้แต่ความรู้สึกโดดเดี่ยวที่เหมือนต้องเผชิญทุกอย่างคนเดียว แต่การเรียนรู้ที่จะเผชิญหน้ากับความรู้สึกเหล่านี้ เปิดใจ ยอมรับ และให้เวลากับตัวเองนั้นเป็นสิ่งสำคัญมาก สิ่งที่ช่วยได้คือการหากิจกรรมที่ทำให้ใจสงบ เช่น การเขียนบันทึก กิจกรรมออกกำลังกาย หรือแชร์ประสบการณ์กับคนที่ไว้ใจได้ ซึ่งจะช่วยให้เรารู้สึกว่าไม่ได้อยู่คนเดียว และยังเป็นการสร้างพลังบวกให้เดินหน้าต่อไปได้ สำหรับใครที่กำลังรู้สึกว่าชีวิตแย่หรือดวงตกเหมือนถูกท้าทาย การลองเปลี่ยนสภาพแวดล้อมหรือวิธีคิดดูบ้าง เช่น การเดินทาง เปลี่ยนบรรยากาศ หรือให้เวลากับตัวเองจริงๆ บางครั้งอาจช่วยปลดล็อกความรู้สึกติดค้างและเปิดโอกาสให้เราได้เริ่มต้นใหม่อย่างสดใสขึ้น ท้ายที่สุด ทุกความเหนื่อย ความเจ็บปวดและความท้าทายคือบทเรียนที่ทำให้เราแข็งแกร่งขึ้น เรียนรู้คุณค่าและความสุขที่เกิดจากการดูแลใจตัวเอง หากเรายังเดินหน้าต่อไปได้ แม้จะช้า แต่ก็นับว่าเป็นความสำเร็จที่ยิ่งใหญ่แล้ว ขอเป็นกำลังใจให้ทุกคนก้าวผ่านช่วงเวลายากลำบากในปีนี้ไปด้วยกันนะคะ
