Attentive beauty is probably easy to get tired

Last month. I think it was the middle of December, when the cold started to get serious.

When I was waiting for the cash register at the supermarket, a woman of the same age who was in line in front of me quickly prepared the basket.

"There seems to be few people in the back, so please go ahead."

Huh, me? I thought and froze for a moment.

That person doesn't smile. But it doesn't feel unpleasant. It's too natural and attentive.

When I got home, the back of it remained for some reason.

I told my husband that evening.

"It's cold today, isn't it?"

I was told,

"I know,"

I answered immediately.

Oh, I think I did it. Far from being attentive and beautiful.

Aren't people who can be attentive tough?

My friend Emi-chan (pseudonym, 52 years old) has always been a "clever person."

Whether it's at work, neighborhood associations, or PTA, we always move first.

One day, I complained in a cafe.

"No one asked me, but I'm moving ahead.

So, when I say "I did it" later, it seems like sarcasm, isn't it? "

I understand. I really understand.

Attentive, the moment you ask for something in return, it immediately becomes painful.

I used to be at a gathering of relatives

Serve me the tea.

Lower the empty plate.

Wash your child's cup.

Before I knew it, I didn't even have time to sit down.

On the way home, my husband.

"I'm tired today."

And I said, uh,

"Well, I didn't ask for anything."

As it was returned, the back of my chest felt tight.

Oh, this.

That feeling that "attentive beauty" has.

It's just right to be attentive and not do everything

Recently, I changed my ways a little.

I won't do it all.

Even if you notice it, dare to take a beat.

For example, eating at home.

I used to stand up right away, but now

"Shall I lower the plate?"

Listen to one word.

Just listening makes my heart much easier.

The other day, my daughter...

"Mom, you've become a little rounder lately, haven't you?"

I was told.

Probably a compliment, I guess. Okay.

Attentiveness consumes when done unconsciously.

If you consciously draw the line "up to here," it will continue.

An attentive beauty doesn't have to be perfect.

That woman I met at the supermarket, I'm sure at home

"I don't know anymore!"

I think there is a day when I say that.

Attentive beauty,

Always smiling

Always kind

Not that kind of person.

One thing you can do on a day when you have a little extra time.

I think that's enough.

Today, I replied a little blunt to my husband,

I intend to just say "Thank you for your hard work" before going to bed.

That's also attentive.

Maybe my own.

The real housewife.

Attentive beauty

Don't try too hard

Adult relationships

Be kind to yourself

Read more私は以前、気配りが行き過ぎて自分が疲れてしまうことがよくありました。例えば、親戚の集まりでは注文や片付け、子どもの面倒など、気づくと自分の休む時間がほとんどなかったです。そんな時、夫の「別に頼んでないやん」という一言にハッとしました。 気配りは人に喜ばれたい気持ちの表れですが、見返りを求め始めると心が苦しくなります。私が実践したのは「全部やらない」「一度立ち止まって確認する」こと。義実家で食事の際も、いきなり動くのではなく「お皿、下げましょうか?」と聞くことで、自分の心の準備ができ、プレッシャーが減りました。 気配り美人でいることと完璧であることは違います。大切なのは自分に優しく、できる範囲で無理なく他人に配慮すること。疲れている時は素っ気ない返事をしてしまっても、それも自分なりの気配りの一部でした。疲れをため込まないために、時には「もう知らん!」と割り切ることも必要だと実感しています。 大人の人間関係においては、相手も完璧な気配りを求めていません。ちょっと余裕がある時にできることを1つする、それで十分です。頑張りすぎず、自分を大切にしながら自然体で関わることが、長続きの秘訣だと感じました。
