# 50 s home work

1/14 Edited to

... Read more私も50代に差し掛かった頃、長年『誰かのために頑張り続ける』ことが当たり前になっていました。仕事では責任を負い、家庭では家族の期待に応え、いつの間にか自分の気持ちを押し殺していました。 ある日、ふと自分の感情がわからなくなっていることに気付き、これではいけないと思い立ちました。自分を後回しにし続けるのは、必ずしも強さの証ではなく、時には自分を大切にすることが必要だと実感しました。 『自分の声を無視しない』という選択は、わがままでも逃げでもなく、むしろ今まで背負ってきた責任への敬意でもあります。私がそこから変わるために実践したことは、小さな自分時間を設けること、好きなことに没頭すること、そして『自分に優しくなる』という自分への約束でした。 人生はいつでも整え直せます。50代だからこそ、これからの時間をどう生きたいかを考え、勇気をもって自分を最優先にする選択ができるのです。もし同じように頑張りすぎてしまう方がいれば、この投稿が少しでも自分を大切にするきっかけになれば嬉しいです。私たちはまだまだこれから、人生を自分らしく輝かせることができるのです。ファイト!

I did what they told me to do. I tracked my food. I pushed through workouts 5 days a week. I cut carbs, avoided sugar, chugged water, and counted every macro like my life depended on it. And yet… 💔 I still felt exhausted. 💔 I still felt puffy + inflamed. 💔 I still felt anxious and on edge.

Not Sorry for Putting Myself First
