No one can always be the same, not even ourselves.💗

... Read moreบางช่วงของชีวิตเราจะตกใจมากเวลาหันกลับไปแล้วรู้สึกว่า “ฉันไม่เหมือนเดิม” หรือ “ความสัมพันธ์ไม่เหมือนเดิมแล้ว” แต่พอมองให้ดี มันเป็นเรื่องปกติมาก ๆ เพราะไม่มีอะไรเหมือนเดิมตลอดไปจริง ๆ ทั้งคน สถานการณ์ และความรู้สึกของเรา สิ่งที่เจอบ่อยคือ คนที่เคยสนิทมาก ตอนนี้ไม่สนิทแล้ว ไม่ได้แปลว่าใครผิดเสมอไป แต่อาจเป็นเพราะจังหวะชีวิตไม่ตรงกัน ภาระหน้าที่เปลี่ยน ความสนใจเปลี่ยน หรือเราโตขึ้นแล้วต้องเลือกพลังงานให้ถูกที่ ฉันเคยพยายาม “ดึงให้กลับมาเหมือนเดิม” จนเหนื่อย สุดท้ายได้เรียนรู้ว่า บางความสัมพันธ์ถูกออกแบบมาให้สวยงามในช่วงเวลาหนึ่ง แล้วค่อย ๆ เปลี่ยนรูปแบบไป การยอมรับว่ามัน NOT FOREVER ทำให้ใจเบาขึ้น อีกอย่างที่เปลี่ยนได้ชัดคือบุคลิก เมื่อก่อนฉันพูดเก่ง เข้าสังคมเก่ง แต่วันหนึ่งกลับกลายเป็นคนเงียบมากขึ้น ไม่ใช่เพราะเกลียดคนหรือหมดไฟ แค่เริ่มให้ความสำคัญกับ “ความสงบ” มากกว่า “ความคึกคัก” เลือกคุยกับคนที่คุยแล้วสบายใจ เลือกพื้นที่ที่ไม่ต้องฝืนยิ้ม และเริ่มรู้ว่าไม่จำเป็นต้องอธิบายตัวเองให้ทุกคนเข้าใจ ถ้าคุณกำลังอยู่ในช่วงที่รู้สึกว่าทุกอย่างเปลี่ยนไป ลองใช้ 3 วิธีนี้ช่วยดูแลตัวเอง: 1) เช็กความรู้สึกแบบไม่ตัดสินตัวเอง ลองเขียนสั้น ๆ ว่าเปลี่ยนตรงไหน—ความคิด นิสัย เพื่อน งาน หรือความรัก แล้วถามตัวเองว่า “การเปลี่ยนนี้พาเราไปใกล้ชีวิตที่อยากเป็นไหม” บางการเปลี่ยนคือการเติบโต 2) ปรับความคาดหวังต่อคนและต่อความสัมพันธ์ แทนที่จะหวังให้ “เหมือนเดิม” ลองหวังให้ “ดีต่อกันในแบบที่เป็นไปได้ตอนนี้” เช่น จากคุยทุกวันเป็นคุยนาน ๆ ครั้ง แต่คุยแล้วมีคุณภาพ 3) วางขอบเขตและเลือกสิ่งที่ควร เมื่อเราโตขึ้น เราจะเริ่มให้ความสำคัญกับสิ่งที่ควรจริง ๆ ทั้งสุขภาพกาย สุขภาพใจ เวลา และคนรอบตัว การปฏิเสธบางอย่างไม่ใช่ใจร้าย แต่คือการรักษาตัวเอง สุดท้าย การเปลี่ยนแปลงไม่ได้น่ากลัวเสมอไป มันเป็นสัญญาณว่าเรากำลังเดินหน้า ถึงจะเสียดายบางความรู้สึกหรือบางคน แต่การยอมรับว่าไม่มีใครเหมือนเดิมตลอดไป จะทำให้เราหายโทษตัวเอง และเริ่มดูแลใจได้ดีขึ้นในทุกฤดูกาลของชีวิต

What You’re NOT Responsible For
Sometimes, it’s hard to step back because we care so much. It can even feel easier to help others than to help ourselves. But learning to let go of these 7 things is an act of self-care. It’s not always easy, especially if you’re not used to it, but setting these boundaries creates space to show up
