It has been more than 10 days since I moved in. I slept 9 hours last night. It seems I am gradually relaxing and getting used to this new life.
I also walk along the beach if I have extra time, which is a 2-minute walk away from my apartment. It was refreshing. I am now focusing on enjoying the beach without any other exploration. Today, I will talk about it.
How to calm our envy of others’ abilities
Sometimes, we want various experiences, especially when we listen to others’ individual experiences. They seem to have much wisdom and make us feel we lack it. That sometimes stimulates our inferiority complex.
That often drives us to experience new things at once. We might try to join some classes or clubs or find a new hobby.
However, that kind of activity often doesn’t work because we don’t have curiosity about them. That failure sometimes makes us feel like we are missing out on something fun in life and depresses us more.
In this case, we can think we don’t have to experience various things at once. Focusing on one thing is also joyful. This style may help us develop our curiosity.
No superior talent all the time
There is no such thing as superior talent all the time.
In other words, which is better depends on the situation. We tend to value various experiences in confusing situations. However, in a stable period, we often evaluate people who focus on one thing for a long time.
Knowing our styles would make us calmer. It would be healthier mentally than envying what we don’t have.
That is why we don’t have to experience various things impatiently.
My case of enjoying only one thing
In my case, I am now enjoying the nearby beach without any other exploration, as I said above. I am focusing on enjoying this beach. It is great. Very wide, quiet, and beautiful. In addition, no one is there in this winter season. This was much better than expected.
Walking in the relaxing tidal sound empties my mind and makes me live naturally. I don’t have to lie to myself. I can care about myself honestly. This tells me how to live in this world with my unique individuality, even if it is hard to live.
If I get tired of it, I can change it. However, I can enjoy it until I get bored.
Perhaps this is my style. I am now in a new environment and surrounded by so many possibilities. However, I am in no hurry to experience them.
Letting go of envy to make our lives
Our envy of others makes us seek biased happiness.
However, we cannot perfectly predict the best way for our happiness. We have to choose based on our current states.
One of the best options is following the thing we are most interested in right now. Even if we doubt it, we can use our current curiosity.
Perhaps our bodies know what benefits us the most. Our interest or curiosity is the signal. Although we don’t comprehend why it interests us, it will often unfold our futures.
We don’t have to expect continuous immediate results in a long-term life. We don’t know what will help us in the future. Relax, stay safe, and focus on our interests. That would create our own future.
Conclusion
That is why we don’t have to experience various things at once.
Focusing on one thing is also joyful and brings us our own styles.
This style may help us develop our curiosity.
