This is not laziness!!!But we are holding ourselves

Ever?

I don't want to rush. I don't want to do big things.

Just want to spend time on my own quiet little things.

Such as

- Walk around in a pointless room.

- Turn on the music and keep the stuff going.

- Sit quietly, do nothing.

- Keep things a little by little in a hurry.

- Let time pass casually.

Many people may think that this is "laziness."

But it could actually be something called Puttering.

Gradually doing small things.

Without pressuring yourself, without rushing, without productive all the time.

And that's it.

Is the moment our hearts really rest.

Maybe we don't need more momentum.

But it needs more "space for yourself to breathe."

So...

Don't feel guilty.

If you hadn't done anything big today,

Because maybe

Just keep living it.

That's enough. 🤍

... Read moreหลายครั้งที่เรารู้สึกว่าอยากหยุดพัก ไม่อยากเร่งรีบทำอะไรใหญ่โต บางคนอาจมองว่านี่คือความขี้เกียจ แต่จริงๆ แล้ว นิสัยเล็กๆ ที่เราทำทุกวัน เช่น เดินไม่มีจุดหมาย เปิดเพลงฟังแล้วจัดของอย่างช้าๆ หรือเพียงแค่นั่งเงียบๆ นั่นคือกระบวนการฮีลตัวเองอย่างหนึ่งที่เรียกว่า Puttering Puttering เป็นการทำสิ่งเล็กๆ อย่างต่อเนื่องโดยไม่เร่งรีบ ไม่จำเป็นต้องโฟกัสที่ผลลัพธ์หรือความ productive เสมอไป แต่เป็นการให้โอกาสแก่ใจเราได้พักผ่อนและฟื้นฟู อารมณ์และความคิดจะได้ปลอดโปร่งเมื่อเราไม่ได้บังคับตัวเองว่าต้องทำสิ่งที่ยิ่งใหญ่หรือเร่งรีบ จากการลองนำแนวคิดนี้เข้าสู่ชีวิตประจำวัน ฉันพบว่าเมื่อปล่อยใจให้ช้าๆ บ้างในบางวัน ความเครียดและความกังวลลดลงอย่างเห็นได้ชัด พอตอนเย็นๆ ฉันก็จะเดินเล่นในบ้านอย่างสบายๆ เปิดเพลงที่ชอบแล้วจัดเก็บของเล็กๆ น้อยๆ โดยไม่ได้เร่งรีบ สิ่งนี้ทำให้จิตใจสงบและรู้สึกเติมเต็มขึ้นโดยไม่ต้องพยายามมาก นอกจากนี้ Puttering ยังช่วยให้เราเชื่อมต่อกับตัวเองได้ดียิ่งขึ้น การสร้างพื้นที่ให้ตัวเองได้หายใจ คือการให้ความสำคัญกับสุขภาพจิตที่ดีโดยไม่จำเป็นต้องต่อสู้กับความรู้สึกเหนื่อยหรือไม่พร้อมเสมอไป ดังนั้น หากวันไหนคุณพบว่าตัวเองไม่ได้อยากทำอะไรใหญ่โต หรือรู้สึกว่ากำลังขี้เกียจ อย่าผิดหวังหรือโทษตัวเองอีกเลย เพราะจริงๆ แล้วคุณกำลังสร้างนิสัยเล็กๆ ที่ช่วยฮีลใจตัวเองให้ผ่านช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบากไปได้อย่างช้าๆ แต่มั่นคง การดูแลใจด้วยการ Puttering อาจเป็นกุญแจสำคัญที่ช่วยให้เราสามารถกลับมามีพลังและพร้อมรับมือกับความท้าทายใหม่ๆ ในอนาคตได้ดียิ่งขึ้นแน่นอน

The image introduces '8 Japanese Techniques to Overcome Laziness,' focusing on '1. IKIGAI.' It defines IKIGAI as having a life purpose and lists its four rules: do what you love, do what you're good at, do what the world needs, and do what you can be paid for.
This image details Japanese techniques to overcome laziness. It explains '2. Kaizen' as daily small improvements, '3. Shoshin' as approaching tasks with a beginner's mindset, and '4. Hara Hachi Bu' as stopping eating when 80% full to avoid post-meal laziness.
The image presents two Japanese techniques to overcome laziness. '5. Shinrin-yoku' encourages spending time in nature to reduce stress. '6. Wabi-sabi' promotes finding beauty in imperfection and accepting things as they are, rather than striving for constant perfection.
