July 17, 2026 Bedtime Note #HonokaTakanashi #Psychology | Gratitude

It's easy to compare yourself to others and feel down, isn't it? But if the person you compare yourself to changes, your evaluation changes too.
What you should really be looking at is yourself yesterday versus yourself today. If you can notice those small changes, that's enough.

It's time to sleep now. Let's do our best again starting tomorrow♪

Comparison is just a habit of the mind. When you want to feel your growth, try looking back at your past self.

*ー*ー*ー*ー*

The target for comparison should not be the people around you, but your own self from yesterday.
|Your rival is your future self several years from now.

✨️Gratitude(〃∇〃)

I happened to have an errand at the hospital today, so I took the afternoon off.

Regarding adding to magazines and expressing gratitude for article introductions (reciprocal introductions) which had been paused since early July, I thought I might try to do it at least once when I have time this weekend.

　Comparing yourself to others is
　one of the habits of the mind

People tend to compare themselves with others.

"That person is more talented than me."
"I feel like I'm the only one falling behind."
You might feel down when you think like that.

I won't say you shouldn't compare yourself to others.

If you compare yourself to others
and feel frustrated that you are inferior,
try turning that frustration into a driving force for growth.

"What am I missing?"
"What can I do from now on?"

If you can think that way, comparison will not be something that torments you, but a catalyst for moving forward.

Conversely, even if you feel superior to others when comparing, never look down on them.

Even if it seems like you are ahead right now, the other person has experiences and strengths that you do not. If your positions or environments change, there may come a time when they help you.

Instead of feeling a sense of superiority by comparing yourself to someone else, quietly acknowledge the efforts you have accumulated.

And what I want you to remember is that the person you should really be comparing yourself to is not others, but your past self.

You moved a little further ahead than yesterday.
You became kinder than before.
Even if you failed, you were able to stand up again.

Those small changes are your growth.

When your heart is shaken by comparisons with others, there is no need to blame yourself.

It is enough to just notice, "Oh, I am comparing myself right now."

Let's use the heart that compares not to hurt ourselves, but to know ourselves and help us grow.

Afterword

I created this place as a "safe space for you to return to when you are feeling lost."
There is no need to rush.
There is no need to compare yourself to others.

It is okay to go at your own pace.
Once your heart is settled, life will start moving again.
I would be happy if I could quietly accompany you on that first step.
