[Announcement] Starting a reader letter introduction corner!

Thank you for always reading the Happy Maneki Neko articles✨

I have one announcement to make today.

Within the Happy Maneki Neko note, I would like to start a new

"Corner for introducing letters that help you feel positive"

🤗

Thanks to you, it has been over a year since I started note🌈
It is thanks to all of you that I have been able to continue writing note at my own pace.
Thank you so much, always🧡

"I wish I could live positively...!"

I started studying positive psychology
to recall the positive emotions I had forgotten. I started note articles
to keep happiness in my memory. Although there are still ups and downs in my physical condition, thanks to you, I feel like I am able to live positively😊

Through my activities as Happy Maneki Neko, I have had many wonderful encounters🍀

"What is happiness?"

"What does it mean to live positively...?"

I have been thinking about these things for a long time, and before I knew it, I started having opportunities to receive consultations at Happy Maneki Neko.

I myself am spending my time thinking, "I wish I could live positively. I hope I can become a true Happy Maneki Neko someday...!" so I feel it is not quite right for me to answer questions from the position of a teacher.

However, when I talk to people, I think,

"Actually, I wasn't the only one struggling...!"

"Perhaps everyone is thinking the same thing...?"

"If we could open up and share what everyone is thinking, might it help some people feel more positive...!!"

I started to think that.

Therefore, I would like to share the content of the consultations I have received at Happy Maneki Neko so far as a "Corner for introducing letters that help you feel positive"! (Of course, I make sure to get permission from the person who consulted me in advance.)

If you would like, please read the letters and think about "how you would feel and how you would answer".

I understand how the person seeking advice feels

If it were me, I would think this way

It became a chance to realize there are other ways of thinking"

I would be happy if you could think about these things together with the Happy Beckoning Cat✨

I think it's easier to visualize if there are concrete examples, so I will post one letter right away🍀

[Reader Mail]

Dear Happy Beckoning Cat,

Ever since I was a child, I have compared myself to others and have always blamed myself, wondering why I am so incapable.

Ever since I was a child, I have compared myself to others and have always blamed myself, wondering why I am so incapable.

By pushing myself, I have become able to do things I wasn't good at.

Because I have spent my time with the goal of making myself able to do even a little bit of what I couldn't, I don't know what I truly want to do.

I find myself wanting to prioritize others over myself.

I want to cherish myself more.

Is there any good way to do that?

Dear Reader,

Thank you for your consultation!

You are a kind person, aren't you?

I think your attitude of valuing those around you more than yourself is truly admirable. Also, your attitude of making an effort to be able to do things you couldn't do before is also wonderful.

First of all,please give yourself plenty of praise!

Having said that, perhaps you,“feel you must do things that earn praise from others”are thinking about this a bit too hard.

People around you, surprisingly, don't really look at the results of whether you can or cannot do something.

I think they are looking more at your character.

I have a feeling that the people around you are looking atyour kindness and how hard you work!

So, please have confidence!

And please, by all means, learn to love yourself more!
