It’s okay to put myself first sometimes. 🩷

# Where are the holidays going?

8/9 Edited to

บางครั้งการให้เวลาตัวเองก่อนคนอื่นถือเป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญมาก โดยเฉพาะในวันหยุดที่เราอาจรู้สึกเหนื่อยล้าจากงานหรือชีวิตประจำวัน การเลือกใช้เวลาพักผ่อนไปในสถานที่ที่ช่วยเติมเต็มพลังใจและอารมณ์คือกุญแจสำคัญสำหรับผม การวางแผนวันหยุดเพื่อให้ได้สัมผัสกับความสงบสงัด หรือกิจกรรมที่ชื่นชอบจริงๆ เช่น การเดินป่า วิ่งออกกำลังกาย หรือแม้แต่การนั่งอ่านหนังสือในคาเฟ่เล็กๆ ก็ช่วยให้รู้สึกสดชื่นขึ้นได้อย่างชัดเจน ผมมักเลือกใช้วันหยุดในการไปในที่ที่ผมชอบและตอบโจทย์ความชอบของตัวเอง โดยไม่ต้องกังวลกับเรื่องของคนรอบข้าง บางครั้งก็เป็นทริปสั้นๆ ใกล้บ้าน เช่น การไปนั่งชิลที่สวนสาธารณะหรือชายทะเลในเวลาที่คนไม่เยอะ ซึ่งช่วยให้ผมได้ตกตะกอนความคิดและฟื้นฟูจิตใจอย่างแท้จริง ที่สำคัญ การให้ความสำคัญกับตัวเองในบางครั้งไม่ได้หมายความว่าเป็นการเห็นแก่ตัว แต่คือการดูแลตัวเองเพื่อกลับมามีพลังและพร้อมช่วยเหลือผู้อื่นในวันถัดไป การยอมให้ตัวเองได้พักผ่อนอย่างเต็มที่ บางครั้งก็จำเป็นเหมือนกันนะครับ
