What we stopped doing, life is much lighter.🥰

Sometimes self-improvement is not only "adding," but also "letting go" of things that hurt our hearts. 🌿

# Let go # Love yourself # Lighter life # selflove # mindset

4 days agoEdited to

ในประสบการณ์ของผมเอง เมื่อเริ่มเรียนรู้ที่จะ "เลิก" ทำบางสิ่งที่เคยทำร้ายใจ เช่น การเปรียบเทียบตัวเองกับคนอื่น หรือความกดดันที่ต้องเก่งเร็ว ผมพบว่าชีวิตมีความเบาสบายขึ้นมาก เหมือนกับได้ปลดปล่อยน้ำหนักที่เกาะอยู่บนบ่ามานาน การเลิกตอบทุกคนทันทีเป็นอีกหนึ่งวิธีที่ช่วยให้เรามีพื้นที่ส่วนตัวมากขึ้น ไม่ต้องรีบเร่งสร้างความพอใจให้คนอื่นตลอดเวลา ช่วยพัฒนาความรักตัวเองให้มากขึ้น และเรียนรู้ว่าความสุขไม่ควรถูกผูกติดกับคนอื่น การเลือกปล่อยวางบางสิ่งทำให้ใจเราโล่งขึ้น และมีพลังที่จะมุ่งไปยังสิ่งที่สำคัญจริงๆในชีวิต ผมขอแนะนำให้ลองให้โอกาสตัวเองได้ปล่อยวางสิ่งที่ไม่จำเป็น และค่อยๆ ฝึกปรับ mindset เพราะการพัฒนาตัวเองไม่ได้หมายความว่าต้องเพิ่มอะไรอย่างเดียว บางครั้งการเลิกทำบางสิ่งกลับเป็นกุญแจสำคัญที่ทำให้ชีวิตเราดีขึ้นอย่างเห็นได้ชัดเจน
