It's okay for your self-esteem to drop🌱 What matters is the 'sense of returning'

~You can stay positive while swaying~

Recently,
"I guess I'm no good after all💦"
don't you have moments where you feel that way?

Days when you're trying your best,
but for some reason, you can't feel confident.

Especially at times like those,
you might end up blaming yourself.

In our last talk,
we looked back at what
"times when you aren't positive" have been teaching us
🌿

Times when you aren't positive
are not failures or setbacks,
but important times when your heart is adjusting.

Because you swayed,
you have acquired the sense of returning.

This time, in that flow,
I will quietly dig one step deeper
"self-esteem",
which many people tend to stumble over😌

🕊 You don't have to try to stay positive all the time

🌿 I want to be positive
🌿 I want to avoid feeling down
🌿 I want to keep feeling confident

The more you wish for that,
when your self-esteem drops,
don't you end up blaming yourself,
thinking "I'm no good again..."?

But actually,
self-esteem is not something
you keep protecting
so that it doesn't drop🌱

If you interact with people
and take on challenges,

your heart will inevitably sway.

That is not a weakness,
but also proof that you are truly living🌿

🌿 Self-esteem is something that "undulates"

There are days when you are energetic,
and days when you don't want to do anything.

There are days when you are full of confidence,
and days when you sink because of a trivial remark.

Self-esteem is not something that keeps rising in a straight line,
but something that repeats rising and falling.

Therefore,
what is important is not that it doesn't drop.

The sense of being able to return when it drops.

That alone
will make your heart feel much lighter😌

✨ The moment you notice it, the recovery has already begun

The more your self-esteem drops,
the harder it is for people to
notice it.

But if,
"I'm feeling a bit insecure right now💦"
"I'm being quite self-critical for some reason💦"

If you can feel that—
that is already
a sign that recovery has begun🌿

Your heart,
from the moment it is noticed,
begins to settle little by little.

As for self-esteem,
once you notice it,
your heart begins to hit bottom little by little😌🌿

So,
even if you find yourself feeling down,
there is no need to panic🌱

🌼 A question for yourself

In terms of the waves of self-esteem,
where are you right now?

Are you on an uphill slope or a downhill slope?

The answer
doesn't have to be accurate.

The very act of
trying to think about it
becomes the strength to bring your heart back😌

Self-esteem is not something you have to keep guarding.
It is something you can "return to" as many times as you need.

And surely—

Being positive
might just be about returning while swaying🌿

🌱 Next time preview

When self-esteem drops,
there is actually one more
common emotional movement that appears.

That is,
"becoming too kind to others"

Next time,

“Why people with low self-esteem are kinder🌱”

I will talk about.

That is by no means a flaw, but rather
proof that you have
cherished your connections with others😌

Today, too,
thank you so much
for reading this far✨
In the next story,
let's settle our hearts together again🌱

About me (Camellia)😌

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

By writing mainly about what I have noticed through my experiences in child-rearing,
work, travel, and acquiring qualifications,

for those who are lost in child-rearing or their own way of life,
I hope to deliver 'hints (seeds🌱) to move forward'
😌

My writing is clumsy,
but I would be happy if I could move forward together with you all.

If you could resonate with it even a little,
it would be encouraging if you could like or follow me✊

Also, I would be overjoyed to receive comments,
so please feel free to leave one😌🌼
