Be good at living a normal life.

The word "good at living" is a very profound sentence, because in a world that keeps telling us to be special, to be successful, or to run after others all the time, to heal and be happy with basic things is the most difficult skill of this day.

Being good at living is not indulgence or pointlessness, but the "art of balancing the mind," which can be achieved through these views.

1. Happy with "small things" (Micro-happiness)

People who live well are those who catch happiness quickly, not having to wait for a big goal, such as:

Drinking warm coffee, my favorite taste in the morning.

Seeing sunshine or the smell of rain outside the window.

Eating a delicious meal on a tired day

• Doing what we love (taking pictures, hiking, reading)

Keywords: Change from asking, "Is there any big success today?" to "What small things make us smile today?"

2. Good at "living with the present" (Mindfulness)

The social world likes to draw us to the past (regret) or the future (anxiety). To be good at living is to bring our consciousness back to "here, now."

When eating...To know the taste of food.

When listening...To really hear the person in front

At rest...To be relieved without feeling guilty for not doing anything.

3. Administer "built-in energy" to be

A smooth life is made by knowing your own energy.

Know when to go. When to go.

Quietly cut out unnecessary things or "toxic people" from life.

Protect peace of mind as the number one priority.

4. Appreciate yourself in the normal version.

We don't need to be a hero who saves the world every day, just wake up to do our job, take responsibility for life, take care of those next to us, and put ourselves to bed safely each day...That was a huge success.

"To be good at living an ordinary life is to allow yourself to be a simple human being who is happy and has a beautiful heart in the chaos of the world."

Have you rewarded your ordinary life with small things today?

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ฉันพบว่าการใช้ชีวิตธรรมดาอย่างมีสติและใส่ใจในรายละเอียดเล็กๆ ช่วยให้จิตใจสงบและลดความเครียดได้มาก การจับความสุขจากสิ่งเล็กๆ เช่น การจิบกาแฟตอนเช้า หรือนั่งชมแสงแดดยามเย็น ทำให้รู้สึกขอบคุณชีวิตมากขึ้นและเติมเต็มใจได้อย่างอบอุ่น สิ่งสำคัญอีกอย่างคือการฝึก "อยู่กับปัจจุบัน" หรือ mindfulness ซึ่งช่วยให้เราไม่ถูกดึงไปกับความกังวลในอนาคต หรือความผิดหวังในอดีต ทำให้การมีสติในทุกกิจกรรม เช่น การกินอาหาร การฟังเสียง หรือการพักผ่อน เป็นประสบการณ์ที่มีความหมาย การบริหารพลังงานในตัวเองก็เป็นอีกกุญแจที่สำคัญ หากเรารู้จักเวลาที่ควรลุยและเวลาที่ควรพัก รวมถึงรู้จักตัดสิ่งที่เป็นพิษออกไปจากชีวิต ก็ทำให้หัวใจเราได้รับการปกป้องอย่างแท้จริง สุดท้าย การชื่นชมตัวเองในเวอร์ชันปกติเป็นการให้กำลังใจตัวเอง ว่าความสำเร็จในแต่ละวันไม่ได้ต้องยิ่งใหญ่ แต่แค่เอาชนะใจตัวเอง ให้ร่างกายและจิตใจปลอดภัย ก็ถือเป็นความสำเร็จที่ยิ่งใหญ่และมีความหมาย ฉันเชื่อว่าเราทุกคนสามารถเป็นสายลมแห่งความสุขให้ตัวเองได้ หากเรียนรู้ที่จะใช้ชีวิตธรรมดาแบบที่เก่งอย่างแท้จริง ซึ่งเป็นศิลปะของชีวิตที่ทุกคนควรฝึกฝนและภาคภูมิใจ
