[Self-Introduction] Real Life in My 50s: Daily Life During the Fluctuating Years—How I Deal with Work and My Physical Condition. I will write about my journey of facing myself while continuing to work as a nurse, even though I am not particularly strong.

Nice to meet you, I'm Ai🌿

I am currently in my early 50s,
and I spend my days as a nurse working in a clinic, facing various patients every day.

Also, as an aromatherapy instructor, I have long been involved in self-care to relax the mind and body.

Because of my job as a nurse, people sometimes think I seem "reliable" or "strong," but

actually, I worry a lot, and after learning the term "highly sensitive person," I feel that might be me.

At work, I have struggled with relationships with pushy colleagues, and because I changed careers to nursing just before turning 30, I have been confused by the generational gap with younger classmates and colleagues.

I try too hard to accommodate others, and I often find myself unable to do things I could normally do—I have had that experience more than a few times.

Also, from my mid-40s, I was troubled by unexplained physical ailments. Every time various symptoms appeared, I would worry that I might have some serious illness, and my mind and body would be exhausted day after day.

I think it overlapped with the early stages of menopause, and my autonomic nervous system was also quite unstable.

Even now, my health issues haven't disappeared completely.

I tend to get anxious easily, but after confirming through tests that it's "not a serious illness," I focus on

not carrying more anxiety than necessaryand

listening to the voices of my body and mind that daywhile

calmly continuing the self-care I can do.

Receiving the signs from my bodyandadjusting my whole body.

I have gradually learned how to deal with myself in that way.
