What do you need to do to change yourself now?
I read a book that introduces 89 such hints.
Thought? Action? Environment?
Which one is the most important to change and which one affects you the most?
I think it's [thinking].
Currently, I am able to acquire a reading habit and continue posting on SNS.
I have been able to organize events called reading groups and participate in communities where I encounter ethnic food, which is a new hobby.
Before I started such a life, I lived a life of going back and forth between home and the company, and only going out drinking with friends on holidays.
It means to feel a sense of crisis in your current life.
I can't believe it even if I look back at myself now, but I have spare time, "I wonder if someone will talk to me ~" "I wonder if there is anything interesting ~" I think that there was almost no thing to take action from myself.
As a result, I was able to have that sense of crisis when I changed jobs in my third year as a working adult.
Even after changing jobs, I was able to have a sense of crisis without losing my vague "anxiety."
Therefore, it is important to change your thinking first!
I mean,、、Just my own story based on my experience.
─ ─ ─ 'Thought', 'Action', and 'Environment' ─ ─ ─
The correct answer differs from person to person as to which change has the most impact on their life.
By chance, I realized that changing my "thinking" would be the trigger to change myself.
However, there are people who can change themselves by taking action for the time being without thinking deeply.
In terms of MBTI, [E (extroversion)] people are from "action," [I (introversion)] people are from "thinking," and so on.
Even from a close friend, when I am not ready for my thoughts and mind, if I am told that "nothing will change if I do not act!," I really think "Shut up!!" (Laughs)
On the other hand, I think that those who are highly extroverted will act as if they thought "I should try it" with that advice as a trigger, and will actually approach their ideal life.
It's been a long time, but in conclusion,、、
─ ─ ① Thinking ⇒ ② Action ⇒ ③ Environment ─ ─
I think you can change yourself in this order.
However, where to start changing ① ② ③ is different for each person.
People who can continue to change [③ environment] as much as possible can live a very enjoyable life of "continuing to touch the new world."
Finally, I would like to introduce three of my favorites from among the 89 books introduced in the book!
～ ～
How a person grows is not determined by genes. It is you who decides what kind of person you will be. Your thoughts will determine you in the future. Your actions will determine who you are.
~ P.29 I want to be the best actor to play myself ~
～ ～
What do you think about yourself? Let's stop worrying about such things. If you want to think that something can be done, you have to accumulate achievements that you can do. First, execute from small things. Achievements prove that you can do the next one.
~ P.48 Set a small goal and be sure to accomplish it ~
～ ～
Everyone is influenced by people close to you. If you are dating pessimistic people, you will be the same. If you are with someone who supports you aiming for a happy life full of motivation, it will be a happy and powerful step.
~ P.71 Spend time with people who feel positive ~
～ ～
If you think only about "Do you have that power?," you will get exhausted before taking action. No matter what "your true ability" is, you can act anyway. In other words, your ability has nothing to do with acting.
~ P.277 Do not think about your "true ability" ~
I'm sorry. It became four. (Laughs)

自分を変えるための一歩として、私はまず「思考の変革」の重要性を強く感じました。過去の私もそうだったのですが、何となく受動的に過ごしていると、時間だけが過ぎてしまい、変化の兆しは見えません。しかし、「今の生活に危機感を持つ」ことが変化の原動力になるのです。たとえば、転職という大きな環境の変化がきっかけでも、その過程で持続的な「危機感」が芽生え、自分の思考パターンに変化が起き ました。 また、人によっては「行動」や「環境」から変化を始めるほうが向いている場合もあります。MBTIでいう外向的な人はまず行動し、内向的な人はじっくり考えることから始めるなど、自分の性格や適性を理解し、それに合った手段で変わろうとすることも大切です。 私にとって思考の変革は、読書習慣の定着やSNS発信、新たな趣味との出会い、コミュニティへの参加へとつながり、人生の豊かさを実感できるようになりました。自己啓発書『自分を変える89の方法』には、思考や行動を促す多様なヒントが掲載されており、私が特に共感したのは「なりたい自分を演じる最高の俳優になる」という考え方や「小さな実績を積み重ねることで自信を育てる」という実践的な教えです。 変化を恐れず、まずは自分の内面から問い直し、思考を磨くこと。それが結果として行動を呼び起こし、さらに望む環境へと自分を誘うのだと実感しています。変わりたいと思っている人は、多くの成功例や励ましが詰まったこの本をきっかけに、自分の変革を始めてみてはいかがでしょうか。
