When did I start trying to reclaim my life?
There are moments when life feels like something that needs to be 'reclaimed,' aren't there? Especially when hearing about the recent progress of classmates or the happy reports of those around us, it's easy to feel an anxiety as if you've been left behind. In this episode, we use those moments of inner turmoil as a gateway to discuss the true nature of this feeling of needing to 'reclaim' our lives.
Facing the feeling of labeling yourself as 'failed.'
Sometimes, in a fleeting moment, we dig up the past, regret how things might have been if we had acted differently, or blame ourselves for lacking something right now. Why do the happy news of others, like getting married or switching jobs, feel like a notice of failure directed at us? Through the host's words, we organize the mechanics of our hearts to understand how to stop watering the cactus of envy and inferiority.
I want to cherish the perspective of 'rebuilding' rather than 'reclaiming' life.
Calculating the time lost in the past and letting that drive the steering wheel of our lives might be a bit dangerous. We often fall into a vicious cycle where we deny our current selves while chasing a form of 'happiness' we once desired. By shifting our perspective slightly, we explore the importance of rebuilding our lives from right here, right now, rather than trying to recover what has been lost. In the middle of the episode, there is a somewhat bittersweet realization about 'proving oneself' that was held during a certain period. Please listen to the full episode to hear the rest.
