10 things that people in their 40s have stopped doing and their lives have improved

2/25 Edited to

... Read moreเมื่อเข้าสู่วัย 40+ ผมพบว่าการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่แท้จริงไม่ได้เกิดจากการพยายามทำสิ่งใหม่ๆ มากขึ้น แต่เป็นการหยุดพฤติกรรมบางอย่างที่ทำให้ชีวิตหนักใจและลดทอนคุณค่าในตัวเองอย่างที่บทความนี้แนะนำ เรื่องต่างๆ เช่น เลิกโทษตัวเองหรือเลิกรอเวลาที่ใช่ บอกเลยว่าช่วยปลดปล่อยความเครียดในจิตใจได้เยอะมาก ผมเองเคยเป็นคนที่ชอบกังวลกับเรื่องเล็กน้อยและกลัวว่าจะผิดพลาด แต่หลังจากตัดสินใจเลิกกังวลเกินเหตุจริงๆ พบว่า 90% ของความกังวลมันไม่เคยเกิดขึ้นจริงและปล่อยให้ตัวเองได้ใช้ชีวิตอย่างแท้จริงมากขึ้น อีกหนึ่งสิ่งที่เห็นผลชัดเจนคือการเลิกอยู่ใกล้คนที่มีพลังงานลบ (Toxic People) เพราะพลังงานลบเหล่านั้นทำให้จิตใจเหนื่อยล้าและลดทอนความมั่นใจ เมื่อตัดสิ่งเหล่านี้ออกไป เวลาและพลังงานของเราก็จะถูกกลับมาใช้กับสิ่งที่เสริมสร้างจิตใจและสุขภาพจิตดีขึ้น นอกจากนั้นการเลิกแชร์เรื่องส่วนตัวทุกเรื่องกับคนอื่นก็ช่วยรักษาความเป็นส่วนตัวและลดความเครียดอีกด้วย สิ่งสำคัญคือการรักตัวเองและไม่พยายามทำให้คนอื่นประทับใจ การเป็นตัวของตัวเองอย่างแท้จริงถือเป็นกุญแจสำคัญสู่ความสุขในวัยนี้ ผมพบว่าการมีเพื่อนน้อยแต่อกจริงใจดีกว่าการมีเพื่อนเยอะแต่รู้สึกลำบากใจเมื่ออยู่ด้วย เพราะคุณภาพของมิตรภาพส่งผลโดยตรงต่อสุขภาพจิตและความสุข ท้ายสุด การดูแลสุขภาพอย่างสม่ำเสมอ ไม่ใช่เพียงแค่เรื่องเงินทอง แต่เป็นการลงทุนเพื่อชีวิตระยะยาว เมื่อสุขภาพดี ชีวิตก็เบาขึ้นและพร้อมที่จะสนุกกับช่วงเวลาที่เหลืออยู่ในวัยนี้ได้มากกว่าที่เคย

I Stopped Using Duolingo 🤧
Here’s Why: Duolingo is easy… almost too easy. It does not challenge me enough to actively learn the language. And look at how dramatic he is !! He looks like he’s dying from lack of attention (relatable tbh) 😭 🪄 Why I Use Falou Instead: - The courses have Speaking, Writing, then a Cha
