📚Book Recap l Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?

💐 good idea from the book Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? ✨

Dr. Julie Smith's book Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? is like a guide to understanding your heart well. Beam really likes this book. 💓 Read it once and for all, it feels positive. Today, he tries Recap. Good ideas that friends can easily deploy in their daily lives. ☺️

🌿 Feelings are not "facts."

When we feel bad or plummet, don't rush to believe your mind at the time, it's a moment of change, but it doesn't always tell the truth, just recognize it and let it pass, don't judge it.

🌿 don't wait for "fire" to act.

Motivation is a giveaway, which we can't wait for it to come by ourselves. The trick is to start with small things first. When we start moving, the brain slowly builds up its own power. If we wait for the film, maybe it doesn't start.

🌿 pain is inevitable, but suffering we manage.

Life has to be a bad thing, but the constant compulsion or repetition of ourselves is what makes us suffer, practice being kind to ourselves like we are kind to others.

🌿 confidence is built by "being brave and scared." No one is born confident. Confidence is born after we jump into something terrible. The more we face it often, the brain will learn, "Hey, this is what we can do," and confidence will follow.

🌿 accept negative emotions.

Trying to be happy all the time (Toxic Positivity) is tiring. It's natural to feel angry, sad or jealous. Just accept that we feel this way right now. Acceptance will help to lighten the mood faster than rejecting it.

... Read moreหนังสือ Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? โดย Dr. Julie Smith นอกจากจะให้ข้อคิดที่ลึกซึ้งและเข้าใจง่ายแล้ว ผมอยากจะแชร์ประสบการณ์จริงจากการได้ลองนำคำแนะนำบางอย่างในหนังสือไปใช้ในชีวิตประจำวันดูบ้าง หนึ่งในข้อคิดที่ผมรู้สึกว่าเปลี่ยนมุมมองของผมอย่างมากคือเรื่อง "ความรู้สึกไม่ใช่ข้อเท็จจริง" พอเราเจอกับวันที่รู้สึกแย่หรือท้อแท้ ผมเคยเชื่อทุกอย่างที่ใจบอกไปหมดจนทำให้ใจย่ำแย่กว่าเดิม แต่เมื่อผมลองฝึกมองความรู้สึกเหล่านั้นเป็นเพียงอารมณ์ที่แวะเข้ามาชั่วคราว แล้วปล่อยมันผ่านไปโดยไม่ไปตัดสินหรือยึดติดกับความรู้สึกนั้น มันกลับทำให้ผมรู้สึกผ่อนคลายและเข้มแข็งขึ้นจริงๆ อีกอย่างที่ทำให้ผมประทับใจคือคำแนะนำ "อย่ารอให้มีไฟก่อนจะลงมือทำ" หลายครั้งผมเคยติดอยู่กับความคิดว่าต้องรู้สึกพร้อมหรือมีแรงจูงใจเต็มเปี่ยมก่อนถึงจะเริ่มทำสิ่งที่ตั้งใจ แต่จริงๆ แล้วการเริ่มจากสิ่งเล็กๆ แม้จะรู้สึกไม่พร้อมนั้น สามารถเพิ่มพลังและทำให้เราก้าวต่อได้เรื่อยๆ ซึ่งผมได้ลองทำแบบนั้นแล้ว ผลลัพธ์ค่อนข้างดีและรู้สึกว่าตัวเองมีความก้าวหน้า นอกจากนี้ การยอมรับอารมณ์ด้านลบ เช่น ความโกรธ หรือความเศร้า ตามแนวทาง "Toxic Positivity" ที่หนังสือพูดถึง ทำให้ผมตระหนักว่าการพยายามปิดกั้นอารมณ์ลบและพยายามบังคับให้มีความสุขตลอดเวลาเป็นเรื่องที่เครียดมากกว่า การยอมรับและจัดการกับอารมณ์เหล่านั้นอย่างเข้าใจ ช่วยให้รู้สึกเบาใจและมีความสุขจริงมากขึ้น ท้ายที่สุด ความมั่นใจที่เกิดจากการ "กล้าทำทั้งที่กลัว" ก็ได้พิสูจน์แล้วในชีวิตจริง เมื่อลองเผชิญหน้ากับสิ่งที่กลัว แม้จะรู้สึกกังวลตอนแรก แต่เมื่อผ่านไปหลายครั้ง ความมั่นใจก็ค่อยๆ ถูกสร้างขึ้นมาอย่างเป็นธรรมชาติ ช่วยให้สามารถทำสิ่งต่างๆ ได้ดีขึ้น โดยรวม หนังสือเล่มนี้ไม่ได้เป็นแค่คู่มือทางจิตใจ แต่ยังเป็นแรงสนับสนุนในการเปลี่ยนแปลงทัศนคติและวิธีจัดการกับความรู้สึก ทำให้ชีวิตมีพลังบวกมากขึ้นและเติบโตอย่างมีความสุขจริงๆ ผมขอแนะนำให้ทุกคนลองอ่านและนำไปใช้แบบทีละนิด เพราะการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ยิ่งใหญ่เริ่มจากก้าวเล็กๆ เหล่านี้จริงๆ
