My old self

i was just looking at the results.

I'm impatient if I'm not out

Compare

Blame yourself

But it didn't change...

The reason is simple.

I didn't know how to handle emotions.

Scary

Anxiety

Troublesome

Drunk by this

it just stopped.

But since I knew how to handle it

I can't stop

Even little by little

I started to proceed

If you can't move now

it's not that you're weak.

I just don't know how to

I will send you a specific method

... Read more私自身も昔は結果ばかりにとらわれて行動が止まってしまい、焦りや自己否定ばかりしていました。どんなに頑張っても進めないのは、「怖い」「不安」「面倒」といった感情の扱い方を知らなかったからです。その感情に飲まれてしまうと、自分を責めやすくなり、ますます動けなくなりました。 しかし、ある時点で感情を無理に抑え込むのではなく“向き合う”ことを学びました。例えば、不安を感じた時はまずその感情を認識し、「今自分は不安を感じている」と受け入れました。無理に消そうとせず小さな行動から始めることで、感情の波に飲まれずに少しずつ前へ進む力がつきます。 さらに、人それぞれ感情の感じ方や対処法は違うと理解すると、自分を責めず自分に合った方法を探す余裕も生まれました。SNSやネット上で「感情の扱い方」を探し、具体的な実践例が共有されていることも参考になります。 「結果がすべて」と考える人ほど苦しくなるのは、結果に直接注目しすぎて過程や感情を無視してしまうからです。しかし本当は、どんなに小さな一歩でも感情と伴に進んだ経験こそが自分の価値になります。私も何度も止まっては動き、やめたくなる日もありましたが、感情に寄り添い扱う方法を知ってからは止まらず動けるようになりました。 今もし動けずつらい思いをしているなら、それは決してあなたが弱いわけではありません。感情の扱い方を学び自分のペースで進むことで、以前よりずっと楽に前へ進むことができます。まずは自分の感情を素直に認め、小さな行動を積み重ねていくことをおすすめします。

Things I would tell my 18 year old self:
Now that I’m 25 years old, I have had so many experiences now then I did when I was 18 years old. My mind was focused on partying, finally having my “independence”, and becoming a legal adult. Of course, as we grow we learn. So these are the thing I would tell my 18 year old self (and you guys)!
