10 Selected Gentle Words

Things I found in the margins, precious things

Recently, I have been feeling the importance of taking time to pause.

I wrote about the time to care for oneself, which we tend to forget in our busy daily lives🍀
Margins are time to settle the heart

When I hear the phrase “time to do nothing,”

I sometimes feel like it might be a bit of a waste.
But is that really true?

If you keep pushing yourself even when you are tired,

both your heart and body will gradually lose their capacity.
When you lose that capacity,

you might stop noticing the gentle words around you,
or you might overlook small moments of happiness.
That is why I believe margins are necessary.

Margins are not time that produces nothing.

They are time to settle your heart

and prepare to be kind to someone else again.
10 gentle words found in the margins



1. “Resting is also an important step forward”When you are resting,

you might feel like you are “doing nothing.”
But recovering your tired heart and body is also

an important time to prepare for tomorrow.
It is not just about running continuously;

pausing is also necessary in life.


2. “Acknowledge what you did today, even if it is small”If you only look at what you couldn't do,

you will end up being hard on yourself.
Waking up in the morning.

Eating a meal.
Saying a kind word to someone.
Even small steps have meaning.



3. “It is okay to have days when you cannot try your best”No one can try their best in the same way every day.

There are days when you feel energetic,

and days when your heart feels heavy.
Including those days,

it is still your precious day.


4. “Do not leave your heart's voice behind”When you prioritize those around you,

you might end up putting your own feelings on the back burner.
Are you actually tired?

Do you want to rest a little?
It is important to take time to ask yourself these questions.



5. “Even if it is slow, your own pace is fine”When you compare yourself to others,

you might feel impatient.
But everyone has their own pace.

Even if you are slow, there is a path that is uniquely yours.



6. “Find small happiness”Even without anything special happening,

happiness is nearby.
Delicious food.

A beautiful sky.
Someone's warm words.
I want to cherish a heart that can notice small happiness.



7. “Kindness starts with yourself”When you do not have capacity for yourself,

it becomes difficult to be kind to others.
So first of all,

I want to say kind words to myself as well.


8. “It is okay not to be perfect”Because there are things we cannot do,

we can notice the kindness of others.
An imperfect self

is still a precious existence just as it is.


9. “Time without impatience is also necessary”If you rush for results,

you will miss the important scenery along the way.
There are things you can only see when you walk slowly.



10. “Margins are a gift to your future self”Resting a little today

leads to helping your future self.
When you have margins in your heart,

you can deliver new kindness again.
In the midst of a busy daily life,

I hope you have at least a little bit of margin for yourself.
Have a kind day to yourself today as well🍀

Since it is a busy day, where do you take a breather?
