Learning from Mikitty: Being Positive in 2024!!
For my first note of 2024, I will introduce one thing I want to achieve this year.
If you could achieve only one thing this year, what would you wish for?
Based on the inspiration I received from watching "After My Husband Goes to Sleep" while spending the New Year holidays. Let's write!
My 2024 Goal
🌸 Become a positive person
Extremely simple.
But for me, it was a difficult thing to put into practice.
The reason I chose this goal is that my irritability was eating away at his heart as well.
He has a very delicate sensitivity, so when I am in a bad mood,
he seems to absorb those prickly emotions and it hurts his heart.
It makes me feel painful to watch him like that, so...
I want to liberate my heart from the 2023 version of myself that was worried, anxious from comparing myself to others, and moping around!
In 2024, I will practice focusing on the positive aspects.
Inspiration
What does it mean to be a "positive person"?
The hint for that was given to me by the [New Year's 90-Minute Special] of "After My Husband Goes to Sleep" currently airing on ABEMA.
It was my first time watching Mikitty's talk show, and I feel like I understood why people around her say she is a great woman.
This time, I will introduce the scene that impressed me the most in the [New Year's 90-Minute Special].
Please try to guess the answer while you read.☺
[❓] Please tell me the trick to getting my husband to help with housework when I want him to.
What is Mikitty's answer...?
😲😲😲👏👏🧡💛
While I tend to lash out with negativity,
Mikitty goes in the exact opposite direction.
W-wow, as expected!!!
Leaving joyful messages on voicemail,
taking lots of photos to show joy in a visible way,
and praising others to the point of it seeming artificial is the Mikitty way.
Maybe I should try expressing my joy in an exaggerated way too 🥺
Until now, I was too embarrassed to act or behave in a way that felt fake...
But it seems that's perfectly fine!
Even though the embarrassment is stronger, I want to try breaking out of my shell...
That's true.
I'd definitely rather be praised than criticized!!
Spending time on things that are overwhelmingly positive creates a virtuous cycle.
I understand it in my head, but it's hard to suddenly put it into action.
Concrete measures
To you who find it hard to shower others with praise and express joy with your whole heart.
Yes, that's me.
So, what can we do starting today to "look at things positively"?
I am the type who grows when praised.
First, let's try praising and growing ourselves!
1. Every day, write down just one thing you want to praise yourself for.
* The point is "one thing."
There was a time I wrote a lot, but eventually, I started listing the same things every time and it felt like a chore. I stopped feeling any joy.
* Write something different every day.
New discoveries filled with small excitements are the secret to keeping it up.
What kind of unknown self will I meet today? ☺
2. Dig deeper into that one thing you want to praise.
Why do you want to praise it, what was so great about it, how have you grown compared to your past self, etc.
Answer as if you are being interviewed as a hero.
3. Feel a little bit better ☺♪
You don't have to try to raise your mood from 0 to 100.
Just going from 0 to 1 is enough to feel excited♪
Future
Let's verify this!
Once you can specifically find parts of yourself to praise,
you will naturally start to see things you respect in others as well.
As a result, won't you be able to express that to them too?
The empirical research starts right from the beginning of the year!
For now, I'll report the results once I've kept it up for a week.
Look forward to it♪

Every day, write down one thing you want to praise yourself for
and dig deeper.
