For days when you feel painful comparing yourself to others, I have created a place to bring your heart back🌿

~ Being positive is just about knowing where to return to ~

🕊️ Why do I get pulled back into the past or into comparisons?

In a fleeting moment,
have you ever been pulled back
to past failures or comparisons with someone else?

But that is not proof
that you are not being positive,
nor is it proof that you are not growing.

Rather—
it is a feeling that has surfaced
precisely because you have walked this far🌿

🌿 What I have written about in my previous articles on positivity

I have written about being "positive" before, but
I have never tried to
forcefully erase the "times when you cannot be positive."

🌿 On days you cannot move, it is okay to stand still
🌿 It is okay for your self-esteem to drop
🌿 Your heart finds balance while swaying
🌿 Feelings start to move with the warmth of words
🌿 The desire to be acknowledged is also human
🌿 Positivity is not something you create, but something you return to

What they all have in common is
the perspective that you do not have to try hard to be positive
.

Positivity is not a "state to be created"
through willpower or effort, but
a "feeling of returning" naturally
when your heart feels safe🌱

I have been confirming that
one story at a time.

🍀 Even so, "failures" and "comparisons" keep coming back

No matter how much you settle your mind,
memories of failure or comparisons with others
do not disappear completely.

What is important
is not "erasing them"
or "winning"—

it is taking a little distance.

It is not about trying not to remember,
but about not getting too caught up in them.

The moment you realize, "Oh, I'm being pulled back right now,"
you are already different
from the person you were before😌

🌱 Positivity is waiting at a distance

If you get too close to failures or comparisons,
your heart will try to measure you
by the standards of the past.

But,
if you take a little distance,
your own breathing returns to you.

Positivity is not something that exists only after overcoming the past, but rather something
gently placed in the 'place where you return to your current self'
that you can find.
🌿

🌼 A question for yourself today

If there is an unforgettable event or a comparison that is bothering you right now,

please try asking yourself this.

'Have I been able to return to my current self?🤔'

It is okay if you cannot find an answer.
From the very moment you hold that question, your heart will begin to return to the present little by little.

✨ In closing

Through the 21 stories about positivity so far, what I have always wanted to convey is very simple.

It is okay to have times when you are not feeling positive. It is okay to waver.


There is no such thing as being unable to return.

Positivity is not something that disappears. Because if you know the place to return to, it is a feeling you can encounter again and again🌱

Thank you so much for reading this far😌🌸

I would be happy if this series has become a place where you can gently return when you feel a little tired.

The stories so far were not about how to become positive,

but perhaps they were a time for us to search for a 'place to return to' together😌🌼

And this time, I have launched the stories I have written so far as a magazine that anyone can read.

The name is,

Seeds for the Heart to Return To🌱

'Positivity' and 'self-esteem' cannot always stay in the same form.

There are days when you are energetic, and days when you feel a little down. Even so...

I would be happy if you could stop by here again when you need to🌿✨

About me (Camellia)😌

Thank you for reading until the end this time as well.

By focusing on writing about what I have realized through my experiences in parenting,
work, travel, and obtaining certifications,
I hope to...

deliver "hints (seeds🌱) to move forward" to those who are lost in their parenting or their way of life
I hope to
😌

If you can relate even a little,
it would encourage me if you could like and follow✊

Also, I would be jumping for joy if you commented,
so please feel free to leave a comment😌🌼

I have placed a free magazine here that collects seeds🌱 for facing your own heart😊🌼
