Tell one uncomfortable story.

Choi came to share, and I'd like to use this space to share a story that Eunnon has thought about for many nights: "As we get older, our living standards push higher...But my heart is less happy. "Are my friends the same?!

Let's go back to the age of 20, remember that we can eat anything, papaya salad on the side of the alley, boat noodles, the main price is ten, but the taste is Michelin-class, sleep anywhere, cricket hotels are comfortable backpacking, a few hundred clothes are worn and confident, life is "easy," but when you cut the picture now...In the '40s, everything changed in front of the hand to the back of the hand. The same happiness disappeared.

Now our living standards are "high" unknowingly. The food to eat must be chosen and chosen again. Must be clean. Must be healthy. Must be a shop with an okay atmosphere. Pay a thousand dollars for the "quality" we think is worthy. Travel must be comfortable. Housing must be in a better location. Clothing and apparel must be a brand. Must be basic and good looking.

It sounds like life is better, right? There's more money, there's better social status, but what's the underlying truth? It's "pressure." We've been putting pressure on ourselves all the time because this higher standard comes with a heavy burden. We have to make more money to maintain this level of life. We have to work harder to relax the house, relax the car, until sometimes we forget to "enjoy" living. We only run after the "perfection" we created ourselves.

The most heartbreaking thing is the small happiness we have had in the past. It's been swallowed up by our "lot." We can't eat street food and be happy. We need "standards" to guarantee satisfaction all the time. Sometimes we overlook the beauty and happiness around us.

Let's review ourselves: Does the "standard" that we stick to really make our lives happy? Is it just a "cage" that we've created to lock ourselves up? We have to start "letting go," lowering certain standards, and try to get back to the simple things in life, reducing the "lot" of things.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ตรงของคนที่เข้าสู่วัย 40+ เหมือนกับบทความนี้ ฉันพบว่าการเลือกใช้ชีวิตด้วยมาตรฐานที่สูงขึ้นนั้น นำมาซึ่งความกดดันและความเครียดที่ไม่ได้มองเห็นได้ทันทีในตอนแรก เช่นเดียวกับที่ผู้เขียนเล่าไว้ว่า ยิ่งเรามีความต้องการด้านคุณภาพชีวิตมากขึ้น หรือต้องการความสะดวกสบายและความมั่นคงทางสังคม เราก็มักจะเผชิญภาระหนักที่ทำให้เราลืมสนุกกับชีวิตประจำวันไป ฉันเริ่มรู้สึกว่าการปล่อยวางมาตรฐานบางเรื่องเป็นสิ่งสำคัญ อย่างเช่นเมื่อก่อนฉันเคยยึดติดกับการกินอาหารต้องแพง หรือสถานที่ต้องหรูเท่านั้น แต่พอได้กลับมาเปิดใจลองรับประทานอาหารข้างทางที่เคยทำให้ฉันมีความสุขในวัยเด็กอีกครั้ง ฉันก็ได้พบว่ารสชาติและความสุขเล็กๆ นั้นกลับมาเติมเต็มจิตใจได้อย่างไม่น่าเชื่อ นอกจากนี้ การไม่กดดันตัวเองมากเกินไปในเรื่องการแต่งกายหรือพักผ่อนก็ช่วยทำให้จิตใจเบาลง ฉันพยายามเลือกเสื้อผ้าที่ใส่สบายและเหมาะสมแทนที่จะยึดติดกับแบรนด์ที่ดูราคาแพง เพื่อช่วยลดความเครียดและใช้ชีวิตได้อย่างมีความสุขยิ่งขึ้น เทคนิคที่ฉันใช้ได้ผลดีก็คือการทำสมาธิและการออกกำลังกายเบาๆ เป็นประจำ เพื่อช่วยลดความกดดันทางใจและเปิดโอกาสให้เราได้สัมผัสความสุขจากปัจจุบันมากขึ้น อีกทั้งยังเป็นการดูแลสุขภาพที่ดีควบคู่ไปด้วย สุดท้าย ฉันอยากแนะนำว่าให้ลองนึกถึงสิ่งที่เคยทำให้คุณรู้สึกดีใจและสบายใจในวัยเด็ก หรือช่วงเวลาที่ชีวิตยังไม่ซับซ้อน เพียงแค่ลองหยุดพัก ปรับมาตรฐานในบางเรื่อง และใส่ใจสิ่งรอบตัวในแบบง่ายๆ ก็อาจช่วยคืนความสุขที่เคยหล่นหายกลับคืนมาได้จริงๆ นี่คือเรื่องราวจากชีวิตจริงที่จะช่วยให้ใครที่กำลังประสบปัญหาความสุขน้อยในวัย 40+ ได้เห็นภาพและแรงบันดาลใจอีกครั้งว่า "ความสุขที่แท้จริง บางครั้งไม่ได้มาจากความสมบูรณ์แบบ แต่เกิดจากการปล่อยวางและเข้าใจตัวเอง"
