The story of us who have been working hard and rechoosing "from now on"

Work, housework and parenting,

Before I knew it, I was doing my best.

"If I endure it, it will turn."

I've been thinking so,

I thought when I suddenly stopped.

In the future,

Keeping my feelings behind

I wonder if it's okay to keep going.

Without any special skills,

The experience accumulated so far

There is a proper meaning.

You don't have to change anything suddenly.

First, "know."

Because I have suffered in the same way,

I have something to tell you 🌿

Mom in her 40s | Family of 4

Difficulty balancing time and income with family,

I adopted a way of working that I can do at home.

We are sending out everyday life that was born in the heart 🌷 ︎

# 40s # mom

# mom # parenting

Think about how to work

Life like yourself

work at home

... Read more毎日を全力で頑張ってきたけれど、ふと「このままで良いのだろうか」と立ち止まる瞬間、誰にでも訪れるものだと思います。私もそうでした。仕事や子育て、家事とひとりで背負い込みすぎて、自分の心と体が限界に近づいているのに気づかないふりをしていました。しかし、頑張り続けることがやがて疲弊に変わり、心の余裕がどんどんなくなっていくのを感じたのです。 そんな時、私が気づいたのは「我慢は美徳ではない」ということです。子どもや家族のために自分を犠牲にしすぎてしまう日々から、少しずつ自分を大切にする選択へシフトチェンジしました。特別な資格やスキルがなくても、これまでの経験や日々の工夫は確かに意味があり、活かせるものだという自信を持つことができました。 私は場所や時間に縛られにくい在宅ワークを選び、不安もありましたが、少しずつ情報を集めて試していくうちに、自分のペースで働ける楽しさを実感しています。柔軟な働き方を取り入れることで、家族との時間を大切にしつつ、自分の成長と収入アップを叶えられました。 みなさんももし「今のままでいいのかな?」と感じているなら、その気持ちを大切にしてください。焦って一気に変える必要はありません。まずは小さな一歩からで大丈夫。自分らしい暮らしと働き方を見つけるために、情報を「知る」ことから始めてみませんか?同じように悩みながらも少しずつ前に進んでいる人はたくさんいます。あなたもきっと大丈夫です。
