please yourself

Many times, I worry about the future, or recall the past, but rarely live in the present.
I've been very calm recently.
Listening to music while reading tomes, taking serious notes, and occasionally tapping on the calculator. I like the sound of tapping on the calculator. It is crisp, busy, and rhythmic. It hits my fingertips and falls on my heart, with a subtle bouncy texture.
Recently, I have a deeper understanding that no matter what kind of situation you are in, your mentality is the most important thing. As long as you are willing, you can always live a happy life. In "Food, Prayer and Love", it is said that to enjoy dolce far niente, in fact, I have never been good at enjoying the happiness of doing nothing, nor do I take it for granted, nor do I feel that I dedicate it, I have become accustomed to it For emptiness, lack of progress and a sense of achievement.
However, who can tell me that if you are busy from morning to night every day, working, working overtime, socializing, preparing for exams, and running around for a salary increase, you can live a happier life?
In fact, the meaning of life is just to feel the world. If my heart tells me that no matter what kind of life, I am feeling and tasting, and I am willing to enjoy it. Then, is it possible to "enjoy life fully and suck all the nourishment of life" as Thoreau said. Life will also become rich and full.
Share the latest insights with hl. hl said that people are divided into stages. Now that you have passed the previous stage, it is time to reflect on how to live happily. You can live with a different mentality at this stage.
Indeed, I have reached the age where I have to live the next part of my life and no longer have to please anyone. You don't have to go to school, be careful to be a good girl in the eyes of others, restrain your own wishes to cater to others, and get over the age of vigorously denying yourself completely because others don't like it.
At this stage, what I really want to do is to please myself. Such a self, even in the darkness of the abyss, must spread the light from the bottom of my heart and give myself warm strength.
For example, my daily routine is to clean laundry in the sun, read books and movies, listen to music, and occasionally practice yoga. Although I am alone, I feel that my life is peaceful and rich, and my heart is filled with a touch of joy.
