How to deal with the feeling of wondering if things are okay as they are

Sometimes, there are moments when your heart suddenly feels unsettled, aren't there?

The voice that asks yourself, "Is it okay to stay as I am?" is a natural feeling that comes to everyone.

I have also learned something this year while facing those kinds of feelings.

Feeling like "Is it okay to stay as I am?" is also proof that you wish to grow.

However, when that feeling becomes too strong, it can sometimes turn into anxiety or impatience.

I realized that at such times, it is important to first embrace that anxiety gently instead of denying it.

When that happens, I try to be conscious of "accepting myself in this very moment completely."

Take a slow, deep breath without rushing, and calm the noise in your mind.

Meditation can also lead to peace of mind.

After that, I gently ask myself, "What kind of feelings are flowing through me right now?"

Then, I notice that small wishes and hopes are hidden within the anxiety.

While cherishing those feelings, I try to think about the path to take one step at a time.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Because the accumulation of small choices creates a future that is uniquely yours.

Thanks to learning how to handle my heart this way this year, I have become able to take the next step with a calm mind without being swallowed by anxiety or hesitation.

If you also feel like "Is it okay to stay as I am?", I hope you will not deny that feeling, but accept it as an important sign.

And, you are fine just as you are.

If you walk slowly while listening to the voice of your heart, you will surely encounter an answer you can be satisfied with.

I am continuing that journey as well.

I would be happy if we could walk along gently together.
