The thought of the book "I like myself like this."

This book is a self-healing and self-improvement arrangement that invites readers to "accept ourselves" in a world that constantly pressures us to be better, better, and faster. The author invites us to see that being ourselves is worth it.

Key Concepts of the Book

1) It doesn't have to be perfect, it has value.

We don't have to be the best or the most accomplished to make ourselves "cute enough" in our own eyes. 💛

2) The world may be depressed, but we can choose to take care of our own heart.

Society makes us too interested in other people's expectations and forget to care about ourselves.

3) Feeling bad, tired or discouraged is normal.

There is no need to be strong all the time; accepting weakness is a kind of strength.

4) Don't compare life to others.

Each person has a different rhythm of life. Our happiness is not necessarily unique.

5) Encourage yourself like encouraging others

Many times, we are very good to others, but unconsciously mean to ourselves.

6) Follow your heart's voice

It doesn't take every reason. Sometimes "feelings" matter.

7) Love must start from loving yourself first.

When we accept ourselves, relationships with others improve.

8) Failure days don't mean we're worthless.

It's just a phase of life. Not all of us.

9) We are all gorgeous in our own way.

Even not yet seen, it doesn't mean no. 🌱

10) Just being yourself today is good.

Continuing to try is a form of success.

This book teaches that

"We don't have to change ourselves well enough for the world. Just learn to love ourselves enough." 💫

... Read moreหนังสือเล่มนี้เปรียบเสมือนเพื่อนที่คอยเตือนใจให้เรานึกถึงความสำคัญของการยอมรับตัวเองในแบบที่เราเป็นจริง ๆ ซึ่งในโลกปัจจุบันที่เต็มไปด้วยการแข่งขันและความกดดัน มันง่ายที่เราจะหลงลืมและตัดสินตัวเองอย่างเข้มงวดเกินไป จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การได้อ่านแนวคิดเช่นนี้ทำให้ฉันเริ่มมองเห็นคุณค่าในตัวเองมากขึ้น แม้ว่าจะยังมีข้อบกพร่องหรือยังไม่ประสบความสำเร็จตามแบบแผนที่สังคมคาดหวังก็ตาม ความรู้สึกเหนื่อย สิ้นหวัง หรือท้อแท้ที่เกิดขึ้นล้วนเป็นเรื่องปรกติในทุกคน การยอมรับความอ่อนแอและให้กำลังใจตัวเองอย่างอ่อนโยน ไม่ใช่เรื่องของความอ่อนแอ แต่เป็นการแสดงออกถึงความเข้มแข็งรูปแบบหนึ่ง นอกจากนี้ การไม่เปรียบเทียบตัวเองกับผู้อื่นช่วยให้เราโฟกัสกับการเติบโตในจังหวะของตัวเอง สังคมที่มักเร่งเร้าให้เราต้องเก่ง ต้องดี ต้องสำเร็จเร็วนั้น บางครั้งทำให้เราลืมฟังเสียงหัวใจและความรู้สึกภายในของตัวเอง ความรักที่เริ่มต้นจากการรักและยอมรับตัวเองนั้นช่วยปูทางให้ความสัมพันธ์กับผู้อื่นแข็งแรงและมีคุณค่ามากขึ้น ฉันยังชอบประโยคที่ว่า "โปรดอย่าถามหาเหตุผล ถึงแม้จะไม่มีเหตุผลดีๆเลยก็ไม่เป็นไร" เพราะมันช่วยเตือนว่าเราไม่จำเป็นต้องตีกรอบตัวเองด้วยเหตุผลหรือมาตรฐานของใคร ความงดงามและความเป็นตัวตนแท้จริงของเรานั้นมีค่าไม่มีวันสูญเสียแม้ในวันที่เรารู้สึกแย่หรือพ่ายแพ้ สรุปก็คือ หนังสือเล่มนี้ไม่เพียงแค่เป็นแหล่งข้อคิดให้กำลังใจ แต่ยังสอนให้เรารู้จักมองเห็นคุณค่าของตัวเองและพัฒนาใจให้เข้มแข็ง พร้อมก้าวเดินต่อไปอย่างมั่นใจในแบบฉบับของเราเองอย่างแท้จริง

You know that feeling when you pick up a book, read the blurb, and think, “I’m probably not going to like this very much?” But you see everyone reading it and decide to give it a try (even if it sits on your shelf for a while before you read it)… and then it ends up being your favorite book?! 😂
