"Many times, we do not lose to others, but lose to the voice in ourselves."

📖 This book shows that maybe the person who prevents us is not others, but ourselves.

When I picked up The Inner Game of Tennis, I admit I didn't play tennis 🎾 and thought it was a book for athletes, but I saw that it was very good, so I bought it.

After reading for a while to understand that

This is actually more of a "mind" book.

The author talks about what we've all experienced.

When doing something, we often have a voice in our head saying,

💭 "Don't miss it."

💭 "Make it better."

💭 "Why can others, but we can't?"

Personally a habitual person, the Perfectionist knows that some angles negatively affect us, knowing that many people would be the same.

What this book teaches is that instead of judging yourself, observe what happens in reality.

Like playing sports. If you think you have to hit well.

Must not miss. In the end, even more tense.

But if you just know where the ball is and let the body work naturally, the result is better. ✨

💡 A very favorite sentence from this book is

"The more you try, the more you fail."

It sounds contradictory, but when you think about it, it's very real.

Many times, we don't lack talent.

We just think too much.

🌱 is a book that reads and then gets a new perspective on work, learning and living.

⭐ Read and understand why many people say that this is a book that should be read once in a lifetime.

... Read moreหลายครั้งที่ผมพบตัวเองติดอยู่กับความกังวลและเสียงในหัวที่คอยวิพากษ์วิจารณ์จนทำให้พลาดโอกาสดี ๆ หรือทำสิ่งใด ๆ ไม่สำเร็จ การได้อ่านหนังสือ The Inner Game of Tennis เปิดมุมมองใหม่ให้ผมรู้ว่าปัญหาไม่ได้อยู่ที่ความสามารถของตัวเองแต่อยู่ที่ "เสียงในหัว" ที่เราปล่อยให้มันควบคุมเรา การเปรียบเทียบกับการเล่นเทนนิสทำให้ผมเข้าใจง่ายขึ้นว่าหากเรามัวแต่พยายาม และตัดสินตัวเองตลอดเวลา จะทำให้เกิดความตึงเครียดและเกร็งจนส่งผลเสียต่อผลลัพธ์ แทนที่จะพยายามควบคุมทุกอย่าง ลองปล่อยให้ร่างกายได้ทำตามธรรมชาติและรับรู้ความเป็นจริงโดยไม่ตีตราหรือกดดันตัวเองมากเกินไป นี่คือสิ่งที่ผมได้นำไปปรับใช้กับชีวิตจริงในการทำงานและเรียนรู้ จนเห็นความเปลี่ยนแปลงในเชิงบวก เสียงตอบรับจากหนังสือเรื่องนี้ก็สะท้อนถึงความจริงของจิตใจมนุษย์ในหลาย ๆ ด้าน โดยเฉพาะคนที่เป็น Perfectionist ที่มักจะตั้งมาตรฐานสูงและวิจารณ์ตัวเองอย่างหนัก ผมคิดว่าข้อคิด "ยิ่งพยายามมากเกินไป ก็ยิ่งไม่สำเร็จ" นั้น ฟังดูอาจแปลกแต่จริงมาก เพราะการยอมรับและให้อภัยตัวเองช่วยปลดปล่อยพลังบวกที่จะพาเราไปสู่ความสำเร็จได้ดีกว่าการฝืนและตัดสินตัวเองหนัก ๆ หากใครกำลังรู้สึกว่าตัวเองติดกับดักของความคิดและเสียงในหัวเหล่านั้น ผมแนะนำให้อ่านหนังสือเล่มนี้อย่างยิ่ง เพราะนอกจากจะได้ความรู้เชิงจิตวิทยาแล้ว ยังได้แนวทางใหม่ในการฝึกฝนจิตใจให้มีสติและความสงบ ซึ่งเป็นประโยชน์ทั้งในเรื่องการทำงาน การเรียน และการใช้ชีวิตประจำวันจริง ๆ

About knowing ourselves and others
We’re only ever as honest as we want to be, or so we’d like to think. There comes a point in knowing someone- a partner, a friend, family- that you learn their subtleties. And it’s in knowing these subtleties, that you come to know their truth. #poetry #mentalhealth #poetrycommunity #lgbt
