Why did you get what you were waiting for... not happy?

Have you ever...

Waiting for Friday all the time, but when actually

Or wait for graduation, wait for a job, wait for a trip, wait for something you want.

I didn't think I'd be so happy.

But enough. The excitement didn't last long.

This kind of feeling is called Arrival Fallacy.

"When will we be happy?"

But in the end... the brain adapted until it became normal.

🤍 Maybe happiness is not at the destination, but on the way.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว เมื่อเคยตั้งตารอคอยสิ่งใดสิ่งหนึ่ง เช่น การรอวันหยุดสุดสัปดาห์ การรอเรียนจบ หรือการรอซื้อสิ่งของที่ต้องการ ผมมักจะคิดว่าสุขภาพจิตใจจะดีขึ้นมากเมื่อถึงเวลานั้นจริงๆ แต่พอได้รับสิ่งที่รอคอยกลับรู้สึกเฉยๆ หรือบางครั้งอาจสับสนว่าทำไมไม่ได้มีความสุขตามที่คาดหวัง นั่นคือสิ่งที่ Arrival Fallacy อธิบายได้ดี Arrival Fallacy คือความเชื่อที่ว่าสิ่งที่จะมาถึงหรือเป้าหมายที่ตั้งไว้จะทำให้เรามีความสุขอย่างเต็มที่ แต่ในความเป็นจริงแล้วจิตใจของมนุษย์จะปรับตัวเข้ากับสถานการณ์ หรือสิ่งใหม่ๆ ที่เกิดขึ้นจนกลายเป็นเรื่องปกติ จึงทำให้ความสุขจากสิ่งนั้นลดลงเรื่อยๆ ผมจึงเริ่มเรียนรู้ที่จะสนุกกับกระบวนการและสิ่งเล็กๆ น้อยๆ ที่เกิดขึ้นระหว่างทาง ไม่ว่าจะเป็นการวางแผน การเตรียมตัว หรือการหาความหมายจากการรอคอย เพราะบางทีความสุขอาจไม่ได้อยู่ที่ปลายทางแค่เพียงอย่างเดียว แต่เป็นการค่อยๆ เติบโตและพัฒนาตัวเองในระหว่างทางด้วย สิ่งที่ช่วยได้คือการตั้งเป้าหมายเล็กๆ ที่ทำได้จริง และชื่นชมความก้าวหน้าในแต่ละวัน รวมถึงการรักษาทัศนคติที่ดีต่อชีวิต เพื่อไม่ให้ความสุขถูกจำกัดอยู่แค่กับการได้รับสิ่งใดสิ่งหนึ่งเพียงครั้งเดียว แต่เป็นความสุขแบบยั่งยืนที่เกิดขึ้นจากการมองเห็นคุณค่าในทุกช่วงเวลาของชีวิต จึงขอแนะนำให้หลายคนลองฝึกฝนการใส่ใจในปัจจุบันและเพลิดเพลินกับการเรียนรู้หรือการเดินทาง เพื่อที่จะไม่หลงกับกับดักของ Arrival Fallacy และมีชีวิตที่มีความสุขมากขึ้นจริงๆ ครับ

this is why the warmth disappears after a fight and what actually brings it back
after an argument, i would go completely flat. all the softness, all the warmth — just gone. he could feel it immediately. i could feel it too and i didn't know how to get back to myself, let alone back to him. people said talk it out, go to yoga, give it time and it will pass. talking

Banned Classics (& why they were controversial)
Okay, picture this: a book gets *banned*. Like, literally someone out there said, "Nope, this is too much. We can't handle these ideas." It's like the literary equivalent of getting grounded, but on a whole other level! 😂 I've always been a bit of a rebel when it comes to boo

Most women don’t struggle because they don’t understand what happened. They struggle because it feels unfinished. And that feeling is what keeps the loop open. When someone ghosts you, they already gave you an answer: 👉 they chose not to continue 👉 they avoided accountability 👉 they were
