Some days... We don't want to be good.

Some days... We don't want to be good.

Don't want to win anyone

Didn't want to prove anything to the world

Just want to lie down.

Like a cat on the lawn.

Let the warm sun seep through the fur.

Let the breath come back to its own.

People live a "must-do" life too well.

Good until forgetting to ask the heart that

Really... how tired it is.

A break is not a weakness.

And slowing down is not a failure.

Maybe it's a form of guts.

Dare to admit that.

I'm just an ordinary person.

Not a machine.

Probably didn't walk fast today.

Not a long step.

Not straight back as everyday

But lying still.

And still breathing.

This is considered "still possible."

If any day you come through to see this post,

Let me know...

You don't have to be strong all the time.

You have the right to be tired.

Eligible to rest

And have the right to be gentle with yourself.

The world doesn't run away.

The dream is still there.

Today...

Let's just lie as a quiet cat on the lawn.

Then get up again.

On a day when the heart is ready than before, 🐾🍃

# Lemon 8TH # Be kind to yourself # Rest my heart # Cat and lawn# Tired, then rest

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน หลายครั้งที่เราถูกผลักดันให้ต้องเก่ง ต้องสู้และต้องพิสูจน์ตัวเองอยู่เสมอ จนบางทีเราอาจลืมไปว่ามนุษย์นั้นก็ต้องการช่วงเวลาของการพักผ่อนและฟื้นฟูสภาพจิตใจเหมือนกัน เช่นเดียวกับที่บทความได้กล่าวถึงการเป็นเหมือนแมวนอนนิ่งอยู่บนสนามหญ้า ปล่อยให้แสงแดดอบอุ่นซึมผ่านขน และรับรู้ลมหายใจของตัวเองอีกครั้ง ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ได้เรียนรู้คือเมื่อเรายอมให้ตัวเองได้พักจริง ๆ ไม่ต้องแสร้งเข้มแข็งตลอดเวลา มันกลับช่วยให้เราเข้าใจตัวเองมากขึ้น และมีพลังใจในการก้าวต่อไปได้ดีกว่าเดิม การพักไม่ใช่ความล้มเหลว แต่เป็นการให้เวลารักษาหัวใจอย่างแท้จริง นอกจากนี้การยอมรับว่าตัวเองเป็นคนธรรมดาไม่ได้สมบูรณ์แบบเสมอไป ช่วยลดความเครียดและความกดดันที่เกิดขึ้นจากการตั้งมาตรฐานสูงเกินไป เพราะเมื่อลดภาระนี้ เราจะปลดปล่อยตัวเองและสามารถมุ่งมั่นอย่างมีสติได้มากขึ้น สิ่งสำคัญคือการจดจำไว้ว่าคุณไม่จำเป็นต้องเก่งหรือแข็งแกร่งตลอดเวลา คุณมีสิทธิ์ที่จะเหนื่อย พักและดูแลตัวเองอย่างอ่อนโยน โลกไม่ได้หยุดหมุนเพียงเพราะคุณหยุดเดินชั่วคราว และความฝันก็ยังคงอยู่รอการเติมเต็มเมื่อหัวใจพร้อม ทั้งนี้ การใช้เวลาเป็น "แมวบนสนามหญ้า" อย่างเงียบ ๆ เป็นวิธีที่ดีในการฟื้นฟูพลังและความสงบภายใน เพียงแค่เปิดโอกาสให้ตัวเองได้มีช่วงเวลาที่เงียบสงบเพื่อฟังเสียงภายใน และค้นพบความสงบที่แท้จริงในตัวคุณเอง
