A love letter to ourselves.

In a fast-paced, clockwise-like world, many times when we accidentally take other people's rulers to measure their success, we look forward to our shoulders, asking ourselves repeatedly when to reach that point, when to be perfect like everyone else...Until we forgot to look back at the distance we passed

Let's pause and look back and see that from the beginning of that day until this minute...How far have we traveled?

-

1. Already good...That's been through a difficult day.

Remember the day when we thought "I can't do it anymore"? The day when the problem seemed to collapse, or the day when we were "Silent Screaming" in our hearts alone, but today we're still standing here, breathing, and ready to fight, bringing ourselves through the darkest moments. That's the greatest victory.

2. Already good...That can still keep kindness.

In the midst of a world that is sometimes mean to us, we choose to smile, we choose to encourage those around us, or we choose to sleep and do what we love, which is the softest form of strength. You don't just grow, you grow beautifully.

3. Already good...Even on days when nothing seemed to progress.

Some days life may seem to glimmer like a candle that hopes to extinguish it, or it seems like we're walking around the same place, but you know, "reinvigorating ourselves from falling" on a strong storm is also a growth, keeping the fire in your heart from extinguishing is the most admirable talent.

4. Already good...That dares to be an imperfect version of himself.

We don't have to be a "Superwoman" who can handle everything at once, just admit that today is tired, turbulent today, and allow ourselves to put down some of the burden. That is the intelligence of living. Knowing to retreat, giving us a set of hearts is the key to walking farther.

-

Telling yourself, "You're good at it," is not to stop trying or to be lazy, but to "add energy" to the mind, because the heart that is grateful has the drive to move beyond the heart that is beaten by expectations.

Today...Try hugging yourself tightly once, or smiling at yourself in the mirror and gently saying, "Thank you for being so good."

Because finally, the person who is by your side every step of the way and understands your sweat best...It's yourself. 🥰

... Read moreการเขียนจดหมายรักถึงตัวเองเป็นวิธีหนึ่งที่ช่วยให้เรามองเห็นคุณค่าในตนเองอย่างลึกซึ้งมากขึ้น แน่นอนว่าวันชีวิตของแต่ละคนไม่ได้เป็นเส้นตรงที่ราบเรียบ แต่เต็มไปด้วยความเหน็ดเหนื่อย ความผิดหวังและความหวังใหม่ ๆ ที่เกิดขึ้นซ้ำไปซ้ำมา ในหลาย ๆ ครั้งเมื่อเร่งรีบจนลืมหยุดพัก ก็อาจทำให้เรามองผ่านพ้นว่าตัวเองเก่งแล้วที่ผ่านวันยาก ๆ มาได้ นั่นเป็นเรื่องที่น่าภาคภูมิใจมาก เพราะการที่เรายังยืนหยัดและยังหายใจอยู่ ท่ามกลางความท้าทายต่าง ๆ หมายความว่าเรายังมีพลังที่จะสู้และเติบโตต่อไป นอกจากนี้ ความใจดีที่ยังคงมีให้ผู้อื่น แม้จะเจอโลกที่โหดร้ายและไม่เป็นใจ มันไม่ใช่แค่การแสดงออกถึงความอ่อนโยน แต่เป็นการแสดงความเข้มแข็งจากภายในตัวเอง ความสามารถที่จะรักษาความงดงามในใจนี้ช่วยให้เรายืนหยัดและเป็นตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง แม้ในวันที่ทุกอย่างดูเหมือนไม่คืบหน้า อีกทั้งการยอมรับในตัวเองในเวอร์ชันที่ไม่สมบูรณ์แบบ เป็นกุญแจที่สำคัญที่ช่วยให้เราหลีกเลี่ยงความเครียดและความคาดหวังเกินควร การให้โอกาสตัวเองได้พักและถอยออกมาชั่วคราวช่วยกู้คืนพลังใจและทำให้เราเป็นตัวเองในรูปแบบที่ดีที่สุดได้อย่างยั่งยืน จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ฉันพบว่าการส่งจดหมายรักถึงตัวเองบ่อย ๆ ไม่เพียงแค่ช่วยเติมพลังในวันที่รู้สึกเหนื่อย แต่ยังเป็นการแสดงความรักและเห็นคุณค่าในตัวเองที่ไม่มีใครสามารถมาแทนที่ได้ เมื่อเรารู้จักขอบคุณตัวเอง และให้กำลังใจตัวเองอย่างอบอุ่น เราจะพบว่าใจเรานั้นเข้มแข็งขึ้นและพร้อมที่จะก้าวต่ออย่างมั่นคง ดังนั้น หมั่นพูดกับตัวเองในกระจก หรือเขียนบันทึกถึงตัวเองเสมอว่า “ขอบคุณนะที่เก่งมาจนถึงตอนนี้” เพราะความรักและกำลังใจจากตัวเอง เป็นพลังที่ทรงพลังที่สุดที่จะพาเราก้าวผ่านทุกความท้าทายในชีวิตไปได้อย่างงดงามและมั่นคง

how to show up openly and honestly
vulnerability is absolutely crucial to create and deepen your connections. when we allow ourselves to be truly seen - “flaws” and fears in all - we show others it’s okay to as well. and that’s where the magic happens. vulnerability isn’t a sign of weakness, it actually requires a lot of cou
