Maintaining the image of an active, confident, strong, independent girl in the eyes of friends and colleagues made Nguyen Hoang Anh (in District 5, Ho Chi Minh City) really tired. She chose to change, not to put pressure on herself in the following ways.
Don't try too hard
Before, I always felt like I had to be strong in front of everyone, not showing my true feelings. After a long time living in the role of "always okay", I began to realize that the pressure from this made me tired and stressed.
So in the face of challenges and difficulties, I allowed myself to feel and express my emotions, whether they were sadness, anxiety or insecurity. I decided not to hide them anymore because these emotions are a natural part of life.
Learn to say no
I used to try to take on all the tasks, please all my friends and colleagues, forgetting my own needs. I was afraid of being judged as incompetent. Taking on too many requests made me feel exhausted.
Therefore, I decided to know how to refuse requests that I felt I was not capable of or beyond my ability.
Saying no is not giving up or being irresponsible or uncaring, but a way for me to maintain balance when achieving my goals at work. In addition, knowing how to say no helps me focus on what is really important, not getting caught up in unnecessary requests.
Take care of yourself
To be strong and do well, I take time to take care of myself. This is not just a slogan but a choice every day. It is appointments to the beauty salon, trips, or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee, an evening listening to music.
Taking good care of myself helps me relieve stress, feel alert, and regenerate energy to face challenges and complete work.
Love yourself the right way
One of the most important things I learned on this journey is to love myself more. Strength is when I dare to face my own emotions, knowing that I am worthy of love and care.
I choose to love myself the way I love the people I love the most. From then on, I have better health to take care of the people around me. I learned to treat myself like a friend, no longer being strict or forcing myself. This helps me feel more peaceful and happy in life.
Self-love is a journey of learning, nurturing my body, and keeping my spirit healthy. When I love myself, I have more strength to love and help those around me.
Set the right goals
Everyone has their own path and no one can impose their standards on others. I no longer chase after distant models. My goal is to do what I feel is right and suitable for myself.
I no longer feel pressured by other people's success. I appreciate every small step forward and am willing to change my goals when necessary. What matters is not the big goal but my satisfaction with what I have achieved.
