Sometimes the person who pressures us the most is ourselves. 🤍

6/8 Edited to

... Read moreหลายครั้งที่เรากดดันตัวเองอย่างหนักโดยไม่รู้ตัว จนความเครียดสะสมและส่งผลกระทบกับสุขภาพจิตและร่างกาย หลังจากอ่าน 5 สัญญาณว่า คุณกําลังกดดันตัวเองมากเกินไปแล้ว ผมอยากแชร์ประสบการณ์ที่เจอเองบ้าง ผมเคยรู้สึกว่าผลงานที่ทำลงไปยังไม่ดีพอ ถึงแม้ว่าจะทุ่มเทเต็มที่แล้วก็ตาม ความรู้สึกนี้ทำให้ผมกลายเป็นคนไม่พอใจตัวเอง อยากให้รู้ว่า เป็นเรื่องปกติที่เราจะไม่สามารถทำได้ดีทุกอย่างหรือทุกเวลา และไม่มีใครสมบูรณ์แบบ 100% อีกเรื่องหนึ่งที่ผมเรียนรู้คือการให้อภัยตัวเอง เวลาที่ทำผิดพลาดหรือไม่สำเร็จตามเป้าหมาย เรามักให้อภัยคนอื่นได้ง่ายกว่าแต่กับตัวเองมักใช้เวลานาน การตั้งใจให้อภัยตัวเองจึงช่วยลดความกดดันและเปิดโอกาสให้ตัวเองได้พัก เวลาพักผมมักรู้สึกผิด เหมือนว่าควรทำอะไรสักอย่างแทนที่จะปล่อยตัวให้ได้หยุดพักจริง ๆ แต่การให้เวลาตัวเองพักอย่างเต็มที่เป็นสิ่งสำคัญ เพื่อฟื้นฟูทั้งร่างกายและจิตใจ สุดท้าย การเปรียบเทียบตัวเองกับคนอื่นที่ดูเหมือนเก่งกว่า หรือประสบความสำเร็จมากกว่า เป็นสิ่งที่ทำให้รู้สึกท้อแท้และไม่มีความสุข ลองมองย้อนกลับมาที่ตัวเองและดูว่าก้าวที่เดินมามันมีคุณค่าแค่ไหน การตั้งมาตรฐานตัวเองสูงมากเกินไปจึงเป็นต้นเหตุของความเครียด ผมอยากแนะนำว่า ถ้าคุณรู้สึกเหมือนแบกรับภาระหนักจนเหนื่อย ลองหยุดสักพักและพูดกับตัวเองว่า "ไม่ต้องเก่งตลอดเวลา ไม่จำเป็นต้องแบกรับทุกอย่างคนเดียว" เพราะการฟื้นฟูจิตใจเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นที่ดีในการก้าวต่อไปอย่างมีพลังและสุขภาพใจที่แข็งแรง

The Words That Hurt The Most 🤍
Sometimes the words that stay with us the longest aren’t the cruelest words we’ve ever heard. They’re the ones that came from people we trusted. The ones that made us question ourselves. The ones that left us feeling unseen, unsafe, or not enough. If you’ve ever wondered why certain mom

Hello beautiful friends, I know it’s hard to see all these people on the internet with small rib cages or narrow waists and think less of yourself. A lot of standard modeling is encircled for women who have a very noticeable hourglass appearance. That is considered more ‘desired’ and the ‘goal’.

Are you the oldest? If so then you know the expectations are high! As the first born you’re held to a higher standard, the trail and error kid. If you’re like me, you’re probably an over achiever right? You probably do things and make sure someone is looking so that you can receive that praise.

It’s easy to look at someone else’s choices and call them reckless, selfish, or a red flag. But if we’re honest, most of us are guilty of the same thing in a different form. We excuse our own habits with “that’s just who I am” or “everyone has flaws,” yet we treat another person’s struggles
