treasure found

Sometimes I sigh at the gap between ideals and reality. My heart is moved by the desire to do my best and the feeling that I am lacking in something. However, this feeling of impatience can also become a driving force for growth. One day, I decided to look at myself.

First, I counted what I had, not what I didn't have. Family, friends, and small successes. I realized that they were my treasure. Next, I started praising myself. Recognize yourself for the small efforts you make each day and for trying things you're not good at. That warmed my heart.
It's also important to have soothing items nearby. A favorite book, hot tea, and soothing music. They make me feel relaxed and content. And say positive words to yourself every morning. ``I'll do my best today too.''

Don't forget to be grateful. Every day, write down three things you are grateful for. Once it becomes a habit, your mind will become calm. Reconfirm your goals. Review your short-term and long-term goals and feel the progress you are making towards them.
Finally, write down your feelings and thoughts freely. Writing down what you feel, like in a diary, helps you organize your mind. Then, spend some time with a sense of quiet happiness and contentment.

In this way, I found a way to encourage myself and live each day to the fullest without suffering from the gap between ideal and reality.
