About forgetting to focus on yourself

"Focus" on other people's lives.

Can't fight "focus" on your life.

.

Because "attention" is limited.

Give me all the "others."

.

While "knowing" everything about him.

But "don't know" yourself what to do.

.

"Know" yourself.

Before "know" someone else.

.

... Read moreในโลกสมัยใหม่ที่ทุกคนเชื่อมต่อกันอย่างใกล้ชิดผ่านสื่อสังคมออนไลน์ การใช้เวลาส่วนใหญ่ไปกับการสังเกตหรือสนใจชีวิตของคนอื่นจนลืมโฟกัสตัวเองเป็นเรื่องที่เกิดขึ้นได้ง่าย บทความนี้เตือนใจเราให้เห็นคุณค่าของการจัดสรร "attention" ที่เรามีอย่างจำกัดได้ดี "Attention" หรือความใส่ใจนั้นเป็นทรัพยากรที่มีจำกัด เมื่อเราใช้หมดไปกับการติดตามข่าวหรือชีวิตของคนอื่นอย่างลึกซึ้งและตลอดเวลา เรากลับอาจละเลยที่จะวางแผนและใส่ใจต่อเป้าหมายและความต้องการของตัวเอง การรู้จักตัวเองให้ดียิ่งขึ้นคือจุดเริ่มต้นสำคัญในการพัฒนาชีวิตทางบวก เพราะถ้าเราไม่รู้ว่าตัวเองอยากทำอะไร ต้องการอะไร เราจะเสียเวลาและแรงใจไปกับการเปรียบเทียบหรือพยายามทำตามภาพลักษณ์หรือความคาดหวังของผู้อื่นซึ่งไม่จำเป็นต้องเหมาะกับเรา เทคนิคง่ายๆ ในการโฟกัสตัวเอง คือการตั้งเป้าหมายประจำวัน เริ่มต้นด้วยการถามตัวเองว่า วันนี้ฉันอยากทำอะไรให้ดีขึ้น หรือมีอะไรที่ทำให้ตัวเองรู้สึกดีได้บ้าง และใช้เวลาทบทวนตัวเองอย่างสม่ำเสมอ เช่น การจดบันทึกความคิดหรืออารมณ์ หรือแม้แต่การทำสมาธิสั้นๆ เพื่อสร้างความชัดเจนในสิ่งที่ต้องการ นอกจากนี้ การจัดการเวลาให้มีความสมดุลระหว่างการดูแลตัวเองและการมีปฏิสัมพันธ์กับคนรอบข้างก็ช่วยให้เราไม่รู้สึกถูกครอบงำจากภายนอกจนลืมสิ่งที่เราเป็นจริง สุดท้ายแล้ว การใส่ใจและรู้จักตัวเองก่อนที่จะโฟกัสหรือวิพากษ์วิจารณ์คนอื่น จะช่วยให้ชีวิตมีความสุขและมีการเติบโตที่แท้จริง เพราะเราใช้พลังงานและความสนใจไปกับสิ่งที่ช่วยเสริมสร้างคุณค่าของตัวเองได้อย่างแท้จริง
