[Garden of Words Project] The problem of freezing up because you're trying too hard to 'leave a mark!'

Hello.
I am Haruka Minaka, a note writer who turned my life around in my 40s
by practicing the law of attraction.

This time, I am participating in the Kazeno Boushi-san's membership writing project!

The theme for March is
'I am graduating from...'

Yes! I want to graduate from the problem of putting too much pressure on myself!

I don't think it's bad to have expectations for yourself.

However, sometimes I put too much pressure on myself,
and I end up freezing up.

Actually, for this 'Garden of Words' writing project,
the month I first joined the membership,
I thought too much and couldn't write, so I didn't participate, haha.

Somehow, 'I'm definitely going to leave a mark!' a mysterious ambition welled up,
and...

I agonized over this and that,
the month changed while I hadn't written anything at all,
and I hung my head in disappointment.

Last month, someone like me
got a ton of 'likes' on an article that was just about
'I'm just doing some weird movements.'

Furthermore, the comment section
was overflowing with fellow weird-movement people, lol.

Thank you all so much! ♡

'I'm going to leave a mark!' I think there are people who can
successfully maintain their motivation with that kind of ambition, but

it seems that method doesn't suit me at all.
Besides, leaving a mark sounds painful.

'Let's blow a gentle, comfortable breeze'
I can move more lightly with that kind of mindset.

If I'm going to put so much pressure on myself
that I can't move,
it's better not to put any on at all, right?

Well, sometimes that can be difficult.

When I realize I'm overthinking and unable to move,
I want to remember the 'Garden of Words' and
try to loosen up.

The problem of putting too much pressure on myself,
I wonder if I've graduated from it?

Kazeno Boushi-san,
thank you for another wonderful theme this month.

Thank you for reading until the end.

Thank you also for the likes, follows, and comments. They are a great encouragement!
