When I stopped putting myself off, every day became a little more enjoyable.

The previous me

It was over just doing it every day.

But

When asked, "Did you do something for yourself?"

When nothing came out

i didn't want to leave it like this.

and that's where i started.

Really change it a little 💡

Just this

I was able to afford my feelings.

Change your lifestyle little by little 🌿

... Read more私も40代に入ってから、家事や子育て、仕事に追われて自分の時間が全然とれず、毎日がただ過ぎていくような感覚に陥っていました。そんな時に、「今日、自分のために何かした?」という問いかけに答えられなかったことが、心に大きな衝撃を与えました。そこで、「自分を後回しにしすぎない」ことを目標に、生活を少しずつ変えてみることにしたのです。 まず取り入れたのは『朝活』です。朝早く起きて、体調を整えるためのストレッチやウォーキング、そして寝る前にはその日できたことを振り返るようにしました。たったこれだけで、1日が充実したものに感じられ、心に余裕ができました。 さらに、普段気になっていたことに「1日10分だけ」取り組む時間を作るようにしました。例えば、スマホでの学習や新しい趣味への挑戦です。少しの努力でも継続することで「毎日が変わる感覚」を実感でき、自己肯定感がアップしました。 また同じ悩みを持つSNSコミュニティに参加し、コメントやいいねを通じて交流を図ったことも大きな転機になりました。自分だけで悩んでいたのではなく、同じような状況の人たちがたくさんいることを知り、心が軽くなったのです。 さらに、やりたいことを書き出してみる方法も試しました。カフェでのひとり時間や新しい挑戦、小さな暮らしの工夫など、思いつくままに書き留め、その中から今日できることを一つだけ選んで実践します。これにより、少しずつ自分の目標や楽しみを見つけることができました。 40代からの挑戦は決して遅くありません。むしろこれからが新たなスタート。まずは毎日「1つだけ」自分のために何かアクションを起こすことから、人生の楽しみが広がっていくのを感じています。忙しいママでも無理なく続けられるライフスタイルの工夫をぜひ試してみてください。

how I simplified chores to be enjoyable
if you hate cleaning, feel overwhelmed by it or get grossed out by it - try to focus more on the result! think about how good it will feel to have these tasks off your to do list, a clean space to enjoy and feeling clean yourself. I have been fine tuning this process for years and I really like
