When you think 'I can still keep going,' that is exactly when you should stop

"I can still keep going."

Have you ever thought that,
and tried to push yourself just a little bit more?

Even though you are tired,

"Just until this is finished."

Even though it is painful,

"Just a little bit more."

I think there are many people who have,
encouraged themselves over and over in that way.

But, by the time you realize it,

"I don't want to do anything anymore."

You may find yourself in that state.

Is "I can still keep going"
really okay?

When you keep pushing yourself,
you may lose track of your own limits.

Even if you are tired,

"I'm fine with this much."

Even if it is painful,

"There are people who have it worse."

Because you think that way,
you end up putting your own feelings on the back burner.

However,"I can still keep going" and
"really having the capacity" are
not the same thing.

Just because you can keep going,
it does not mean you have to keep going.

Stopping
is not the same as giving up

The harder you are working,

"If I rest, I'll fall behind."

"If I stop here, I won't be able to move forward again."

Sometimes you might feel that way.

But stopping
is not the same as giving up.

It is time to check your current state.

"Am I tired right now?"

"Am I actually pushing myself too hard?"

By turning your attention to your heart like that,
you can notice things before you push yourself too far.

There are other choices
besides "trying a little harder"

Sometimes,

"Should I try hard, or should I not?"

it can feel like there are only those two options.

But in reality,

There are choices like those as well.

Continuing to push yourself is not the only way
to move forward.

🍀Small self-care
you can do today🍀

Today, when you think“I can still keep going,”instead of pushing yourself right away,
try stopping for just one minute🤗

Then, ask yourself this.

“Do I really want to keep going?
Or do I want to rest?”

Either answer is perfectly fine😉👍

What matters is not the expectations of others,
but listening to how you feel right now too💕

Have you recently

“I can still keep going.”

told yourself that❓

How were you
actually feeling at that time❓

Today, just once,

“I'll try a little harder”besides that option,

give yourself permission to choose something else😉💕

You don't have to
push yourself to the limit, you know🤗💕
