Today, I was thinking about daily joys and the balance of putting pressure on myself.
I think working hard is important.
Continuing what I decided to do is also important.
Trying to move forward, even little by little, is something I want to value.
But at the same time, I feel that I cannot keep going if I am always tense.
That is why I try to include small joys in my daily life.
For example, I watch funny videos from Geinin Otoko Juku.
I meet my friends and laugh a lot.
Sometimes, I stay overnight at a public bath facility and relax in the hot spring.
These moments help me loosen up.
They are not just fun.
They also feel like recovery that helps me try again.
I also try to find things in my current environment that help me take care of myself.
Fortunately, my workplace has several useful facilities.
There is a foot bath, a massage chair, and a staff-only hammock.
I feel grateful to have that kind of environment.
So I try to value small moments of rest when I can.
Even without doing anything special, there may be something around me that helps me recover a little.
Just noticing that can slightly change the way I spend my day.
I think joy is not laziness.
It is a form of recovery.
If I only push myself, I become tired.
But if there is no pressure at all, it is also hard to move forward.
So I do not want to push myself too hard.
But I still want to give myself a small amount of pressure.
And when I get tired, I want to recover properly.
For me, that balance feels just right for now.
